My cord runs across the floor so that lamps can be plugged to the nearest outlet.

My daughter didn't like how her earbuds wire looked so she crocheted yarn over the top of it to cover it. Maybe you could do this to your lamp cord to jazz them up a bit?

Kathy Bitzan · Answer

I would be careful, I tripped on a cord earlier this year and landed on my left knee.  It has been three months and still healing.  It is not safe... and I knew better.  I have it covered with an area rug now.

Bobbie · Answer

I have a 5'x7' area rug cover my cable wire in the traffic area.

If the chord is long enough you can feed it under your baseboard until it reaches the outlet. Consider re-arranging your furniture so the lamp is closer to the outlet and hid by other furniture.  Duct tape  can be used to strap a chord to the back of solid furniture.

Thanks Nobbie. I have a rug ordered and hope it will cover most of it but will probably have a couple of feet left until it reaches the wall.
