A tangled bundle of cords on the floor doesn’t spark joy for me. As I work toward “a place for everything” in our home, hiding power strips quickly rose to the top of my to-do list. I wanted a solution that would conceal cords but still look attractive in the room—and I found a pair of affordable, stylish options that do just that.
The first basket I tried is an imitation rattan style. From a distance the finish looks quite good, and it does an excellent job concealing a power strip and cables while blending with casual decor. It’s a simple, budget-friendly way to keep things tidy without drawing attention to the electronics.
Because that basket worked so well, I ordered another set for different areas of the house like the kitchen and our snug. The second set arrived in two sizes and has a natural, warm finish that fits nicely with our home’s aesthetic. I’m happy enough with them that I’d buy the same set again.
These baskets are both attractive and practical for hiding cords and power strips, keeping counters and floors uncluttered. They also provide a convenient spot to store extra phone chargers so guests have one available when needed. The open weave offers natural ventilation, which helps reduce the risk of overheating for power strips and chargers.
A quick safety note: avoid placing power strips in completely enclosed, tight spaces without airflow, and don’t overload them. We never plug high-wattage appliances like heaters into a power strip; use surge protectors and appropriate outlets for those devices.
In our home, we use the baskets for charging phones—phones can sit on top while the cord exits through a side opening—and for hiding a lamp cord on the kitchen counter. Before you buy a basket, measure the power strip you plan to use to ensure it will fit comfortably inside. Picking a properly sized surge protector helps everything stay organized and functional.
These power strip baskets are a handy, low-effort solution to corral cords and keep rooms looking neater. They deliver a simple, pretty fix that makes daily life feel calmer and more organized.
Here’s to simple, attractive solutions for a more peaceful home.
