Many of what we consider eyesores are unavoidable in a home.
They are not often bad or unnecessary in the house; truth is, many of these eyesores are important in order to keep life convenient and functional for the homeowners and residents, as they have different purposes within daily tasks or routines.
Too often, tasks are less efficient if these spaces, items, or home accessories weren't around.
So instead of removing the eyesores altogether, how about a little bit of creativity to hide these eyesores or, better yet, blend them into the rest of the space? Deep drawers for accessible storage and stashing You can utilize extra deep drawers and shelves to store many things that are not the most visually appealing, for instance, laundry hampers.
When you have guests visiting your home, you wouldn't want your dirty clothes to be out in the open when they use the bathroom (in many homes, hampers are in or near the bathroom), so you can keep them out of sight by putting them inside deep drawers.
Even colorful boxes of different sizes are great for hampers.
If you need easy access to your chargers for electronic devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, and tablet computers, look for a shelf in the kitchen or other area of the house that can be your charging station, and the unsightly cords and chargers stay out of view by simply closing the drawer.
Holes can easily be drilled into the back or bottom part of the shelf or drawer; many of the newer ones are constructed with an opening in the back where cords and electrical outlets can easily fit).
Elegant, neutral bottle dispensers for your personal products While you are probably okay with sharing your trusted beauty and hygiene secrets with your closest friends or relatives, you probably wouldn't want everyone to see your dandruff shampoo, dry hair conditioner, exfoliating scrubs, and other personal products when guests use your bathroom.
A simple solution for these eyesores in the home? Look for bottle dispensers where you can transfer your beauty products (at least the liquid ones).
These dispensers look elegant enough to keep in the bathroom, and they can be discreetly labelled at the bottom so you know which is which.
Wires, cords and outlets are very distracting If you are trying to achieve a peaceful, serene, nature-inspired home space, the sudden appearance of the TV cord or wall outlet can send the viewer crashing back to reality.
But you can keep these hidden from view by using electrical tape to keep them tucked under desks, carpets, or behind other furniture piece.
Use rubber bands or tape to band them together; this also prevents people from tripping over them.
Another creative way to blend wires and cords into the space is to decorate them with trimmings, or camouflage them using wall art.
Colorful wire clips can be used to liven up those cords or wires that you just can't hide under tables or rugs.
Another idea is to drape a solid-colored drop cloth behind a desk or table to hide the mass of wires.
