All the cables and the cords from things like the computer, the lamps, the TV, etc are seen as an inconvenience and we often try to hide them. There are even lots of accessories to help us do that and we’re also showed you plenty of DIY projects designed to help you do the same thing. But why hide the cables when you can turn them into wall art? Take a look at the photos and you’ll understand exactly what we mean by that. You can come up with all sorts of ideas for this type of wall art. Just pick a theme or try to create something abstract. It doesn’t have to be an exact replica of the real thing. Take a look at this interesting mantel. It has a beautiful ornate design but, the only thing that makes it unusual is the fact it’s just a big long cable arranged to look like this. It’s actually the cable from the little lamp you see here. You can’t hide all the cables so have fun with them. This combination of TV and Playstation is eye-catching mainly because of the way the cables were arranged on the wall. Try something simple for the cables in your bedroom.

Colored cable provides you with even more opportunities when it comes to creating interesting arrangements for the walls.
