I get all kinds of questions from readers - mostly about sourcing and paint - but I also get some that are more utilitarian. One that I get pretty often is in regards to hiding cords. The question is usually spurred by this vignette...
To get the cords to stay tucked out of sight, I place hooks along the back side of the console legs. I position the hooks in an alternating pattern in terms of what direction the clip opening faces because this seems to keep the cord straighter.
The end result is the closest thing I can get to cordless lamps!
If you have a trickier situation that requires lamp cords to be more conspicuous, it might be worth upgrading the cord to a swankier
cloth-covered wire. It's more charming that the typical plastic-covered ones and slightly more discreet as well.
Sundial Wire has lots of color options and be sure to check your local lamp shop about what they keep in stock too.
