If you’re a Type A perfectionist like me, then seeing lamp cords probably bothers the hell out of you. Jumbled cords can make a space look messy, chaotic, and unsophisticated. Not only was I tired of looking at my loose, dangling cords, but I was wasting so much time editing them out of my blog photos. Luckily, I found the perfect solution to hide your lamp cords once and for all!

The perfect solution only costs $3, and you probably have some shoved in your junk drawer at this very moment.

ZIP TIES! All you need to do is run your cord along the leg of the table, then tightly secure your zip tie around the table leg. I fastened one at the top and one at the bottom to ensure a snug fit. Make sure to clip off the excess once it’s secure.

It’s that simple! Make sure to buy whichever color most closely matches your table legs. In my case, black was the obvious choice.

Here’s a before photo for reference. Have you tried this hack before? Let me know in the comments below!
