Perfect order, harmony of color and shape and nothing superfluous … alas, but glossy magazine pictures are far from reality. After all, sooner or later, any apartment is "overgrown" with things, the functionality of which is inversely proportional to aesthetics. And what to do with these necessary, but ugly objects? They need to be hidden correctly! Let's see how clever designers do it?
Behold at the root
… or rather in the spine: old book covers can be used to disguise small technical devices. Someone will call it vandalism, but in all honesty, in any home library there are a couple of strange literary opuses that deserve to be processed into something really worthy of attention. So why not give them a chance to serve society in a new capacity? You take out the contents, leave the shell and hide it inside, for example, a wi-fi router. Now it can be placed in a convenient place for everyone to see, and no one will guess that a book forgotten by someone is a snag.

What's in the boxes?
If the idea of transforming a printed word is not close to you, use an alternative method. It is similar in essence, but in this case, the organization of a cache for equipment will not be associated with damage to property. Although some manipulations with old shoe boxes still have to be done. You will have to work on their appearance: decorate with paper or cloth and make holes for the wires in one of the sides. However, if you don't feel like messing around, then you can buy ready-made options in stores where there are departments a la "Storage and Order". At the exit, you should have in your hands design boxes that can be placed on a table or bedside table, hiding inside everything that should not be seen by others. And let it buzz there, blink or distribute the Internet … quietly and imperceptibly!

Hiding in plain sight
The scourge of any apartment is wires. They are everywhere, they multiply and take over your cozy world. Even if you took care in advance to mount everything that was possible in the wall, and prudently installed plinths with cable channels, there is no salvation. Output? Turn minuses into pluses! How about, for example, equipping your own power line … on your desktop? It is enough just to buy a couple of designer wire stands invented by Daniel Ballou. The American specializes in the development of unusual household items, almost every realized idea becomes a bestseller. Imagine: a table, a laptop, headphones and wires-wires-wires … only they do not lie on the table, but hang on miniature chrome-plated supports. Quite another matter, agree? Now everyone sees not primitive cords, but the original art object.
Do you want voluminous constructions? There are excellent “flat” solutions. Wake up the dormant artist in you, let him draw pictures … again from wires. Walls decorated in this way will become a feature of your interior. Silhouettes of houses, industrial landscapes or variations on the theme of "stucco". The complexity of a possible composition depends only on your artistic skills and the length of the source material. If desired, you can "paint" all available surfaces.

However, if all of the above is not enough for you and you still want to hide the cords out of sight - build a fence! Small, white … along the plinth. The idea to disguise the cables in this way came to the mind of the British designer Karl Zahn. It is done simply - it looks impressive. Try it!
Where, for example, can I hide the printer? Designers suggest placing it in a modified dresser drawer.
Drawers and doors
Well, what to do with bulky things? Where, for example, can I hide the printer? Designers suggest placing it in a modified dresser drawer. You just need to "work" a little on the front panel so that it folds back. Minimum effort and ease of storage and use are guaranteed.
Drawers are, by the way, generally a salvation in solving issues related to hiding unwanted things. Organize a gadget recharging station in one of them. Mount the splitter inside: open, connect, close. Everything is hidden, securely fixed and inaccessible to the uninitiated.
And how many problems pet owners can solve with their help! Dog bowls, cat litter, sun loungers - all this can be hidden out of sight. And there is no need to suffer any more and think: "How can one add even a little aesthetics to this disgrace?" Pushed in, closed, forgot!
