Cables

6/13/2013

I love the way you don’t have to hide cables any more..

We once found ourselves in a remote part of China called Longsheng, where the Yao Minority (or so-called Longhair Tribe) grow rice on terraced hillsides. I overheard somebody asking an English guy “Why aren’t you taking photos?!” The guy answered “There are too many (electricity) cables for my liking..” How rude! Surely these poor Chinese rice farmers are entitled to electricity.. The place is stunning and always will be – with or without cables. Surely us tourists don’t get to say things like that.. 
Exposed or hidden cables?! What do you prefer?!

    the needs of a population are surely most important than aesthetics. Actually nude cable in a home are fashion… I have many in my home but I'm sure they are not so beautiful! They are not shown in the right way! 😉

    If they are done sparingly and purposefully, I think they can look really good. I have a desk lamp that had an ugly brown cord that had to stretch across the wall, so I wrapped it in blue yarn, and now I love having it exposed!

    Wauw! I love this inspiration!
    I like both of them: one or two where you can see the cables, but I also like them without.
    ThanXX

    I didn't love cables so far, but your post makes me think completely different … beautiful!

    I totally agree with you and that's why I decided to use the tip and free my husband from his worst nightmare, i.e. me asking to put one of the Ikea Hemma cable up!

    My husband is so much happier now. 🙂
