Tired of those pesky, tangled cable wires? This simple Kmart trick will change your life!
- Replies 1
We are all aware of how frustrating it is when wires and cords tangle and create a large mess. In addition to being unsightly, the cables have the potential to be fatal if you repeatedly attempt to untangle them and fraying occurs.
Yes, those unorganised wires and cables can truly harm your house and endanger your safety. Wires that are left exposed can represent a fire risk. Additionally, cords that run underneath rugs or carpets may present a trip hazard.
So what can you do to minimise the damage that messy wires and cables can do to your home?
Well, one creative mum has come up with a fantastic way to organise and declutter those pesky wires - and it only costs $20!

Sharing her simple tip in a popular Facebook group, the crafty woman said that she was able to 'hide' her internet cables using Kmart's 3 Cube Shelves.
'Put this together to hide all the internet cables! Love how it turned out,' she wrote in her post along with some photos of her setup.
The Kmart item is a game changer for anyone looking for an easy way to hide cords. Simply attach the shelves to the wall like a picture frame, and voila - your cords are hidden away!
If you need to access the power points, you can simply take the frame off the wall.
And the best part about this project? It is easily customisable to fit any space. The frame can be cut down to size and the canvas can be painted to match your home décor.
This suggestion has been met with overwhelming approval from more than 2000 group members, with many people saying they are going to try it out for themselves.

One user exclaimed: 'I’m voting this best hack of the year as I need this!'
'What a great idea!' another wrote.
A third praised: 'Stunning! Great work.'
'Oh my gosh, I love it! I have a similar situation at mine...I might have to steal this idea,' another chimed in.
If you have a similar issue in your laundry room but are not sure how to attach the frame to a tiled wall, there's also no need to fret!
One user advised to use command strips — simply cut them in half lengthwise and attach them to the sides of the frame.
Some users were curious whether the wires would overheat, with one person writing: 'Looks lovely! Do you have vent holes somewhere? Wondering if it would overheat?'
The mum replied to this inquiry, confirming that there was enough ventilation in the frames.
'Not at all, the unit does not sit full flush on the wall, plus 1 cm sections cut out the back to fit the cords through and give them plenty of ventilation,' she explained.
An organised home is not only aesthetically pleasing but can also spare you from the risks that the mess can pose to your health.
So, next time you're looking for a way to hide those pesky cords, think outside the box and head to your nearest Kmart. You might just be surprised at what you can find.
