We all have stuff in our home that we need, but they aren’t pretty. If you don’t want to display your cords, switches or your pet’s bowls, then hide them away.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite solutions for hiding clutter and household eyesores. And the best part is, no matter how you hide them, they’ll still be accessible and usable!
