Ever glance at your kitchen counter and cringe at the tangled mess of black power cords ruining the sleek look of your appliances? The two‑step trick in the photo offers an easy, DIY solution to tuck those eyesores out of sight while keeping everything safe and accessible.
1. Position the cord: Run the appliance’s plug into the nearest outlet, letting the cable lie flat on the counter or floor. Make sure the cord isn’t stretched or twisted, which can cause overheating.
2. Mask with the appliance: Slide the appliance (in this case, a shiny kettle) over the cord so the metal body covers the cable completely, as the finger points to the hidden section in the images. The appliance acts like a decorative shield, making the cord invisible from the front view.
Why this works- Aesthetic boost: The sleek metal surface hides the black cable, giving your kitchen a cleaner, minimalist vibe.
– Safety: Keeping the cord flat and covered reduces trip hazards and protects the wire from spills or damage.
– Easy DIY: No need for extra gadgets or expensive cable management systems; just rearrange your setup.
Tips to make it even better- Choose appliances with a wide base to cover longer cord sections.
– Use cable clips or adhesive hooks under the appliance to secure the cord and prevent it from slipping.
– Ensure the outlet is easily reachable for unplugging when needed, maintaining safe electrical practice.
With this simple “point‑and‑cover” method, you can transform a cluttered countertop into a tidy, stylish space in seconds. Give it a try and enjoy a neater kitchen without spending a dime! 😎
