Sometimes it’s just not easy to place things where you don’t have to run cords across the floor. To help you so you don’t trip over the cord you can buy some floor cord covers which will cover up the cord and make the area look much nicer and safer.
You can even buy these in different colors and styles to match your decor. They come in woodgrain too. Prices are reasonable so there is no need to have cords where they don’t belong because it’s not affordable to hide them.
I wish they had used them in my condo to take the cable for the TV from one side of the room to the other. Instead they have the cable running up over the sliding glass door then down along the baseboard then up along the fireplace then down along the baseboard to the opposite wall. It just doesn’t look very neat.
