French artist Nathalie Costes threaded large wooden beads through electrical cords to turn your cord chaos into decorative elements instead (or trip hazard, depending on your age and point of view): http://www.nathaliecostes.com/nathalie_costes/2009/03/nouveaux-sautoirs-%C3%A9lectriques-en-vente-dans-happy-new-home-.html - via Apartment Therapy

Hey, that's a great idea. Bunny teeth will slide right off of those.

That would be a neat way to protect my chords from my pet rabbit.

If you must have a cord running across the floor for some reason, this seems like a good way to make it less of a trip hazard as it'll be more visible. But it also makes cables take up more space and (in my opinion) look uglier. I wonder if there are snap-on beads that don't require removing the plug to thread them? This would seem a lot safer to me if that were the case.

Thanks, Alice !

Useful information ! I love the Internet !

Pardon my typical American ignorance, so does that mean that every appliance is separately fused ? Sounds safer. Why don't WE do that ?

Love,

@seefish3

The plugs are large because they contain a fuse.
