Creatively Display Your Cables When Hiding's Not An Option

We've talked time and time again about new and different ways to hide the unsightly cable nests lurking in your home. Instead of squirreling them away, artist Maisie Maud Broadhead cleverly decorates with them in plain sight.

Running cables through walls, attics and ceilings isn't anyone's idea of a good time, and if you've got some artistic flair, turns out you can create some fun, aesthetically pleasing wall designs. You can use wall clips to hold things up, which are relatively inexpensive.

A cable-made picture frame, lamp or even an entire fireplace could potentially work, with design-on-a-dime results. The idea is perfect for those who rent their living space and don't always have the option of where sockets and furniture can be placed to accommodate cabling.
