Like most people, I suppose, I hate the sight of cables running from electrics in my home. A particularly problematic area, for me, is down the side of my television and soundbase which are sitting on a large coffee table which also holds, on shelves within the sides of the table, other entertainment equipment, such as a Blu-ray player. Cables galore. There was no way to hide them as they went on their way to the electric socket and so I put a large African urn (which I bought years ago in the Caribbean), in the corner and on top of it perched a spider plant in its own container. Alongside I have placed another spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Phlebodium auream 'Blue Star' and the Philodendron 'Brazil'. These plants are in hanging baskets and I can move them towards the window to get some additional light now and then. Often I hang them on the curtain rails when the curtains are dawn back (obviously). Not a cable in sight.

The cables are at the back of the African urn and well away from any water. Nevertheless, I remove the plants for watering.
