    40 Clever Ways To Hide All The Eyesores In Your Home You’ve Been Glaring At For Ages

    Trust me when I say, these genius solutions are a sight for sore eyes.

    1. Add a sleek and ~sneaky~ shoe-storage cabinet to your entryway so a shoe pile isn't the first thing you see when you walk through the door. Bonus: it'll serve as a gorgeous piece of decor with plenty of room for essentials on top!

    2. Eliminate electronics that stick out like sore thumbs with a faux book display. It'll make the room look much cleaner and more organized! Plus, you probably won't mind having everyone comment on your impressive book collection.

    3. Store essentials out of sight in a slim storage cart with locking wheels — it's perfect for areas with limited space, like bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc. that desperately need more storage.

    4. Use a large woven basket for concealing odds and ends you don't want strewn about, like your massive blanket and throw pillow collection that never seems to stop growing, for example.

    5. Give yourself a bit of extra storage *and* hide dirty laundry with this bamboo shelf and tilt-out hamper. Does anyone really enjoy having an ugly plastic hamper in their home? This saves space, keeps it hidden, *and* gives you a couple of storage shelves, too.

    6. Lather up your dirty old fireplace with a coat of brick whitewash paint to make it look like your home was just featured on an episode of Fixer Upper. This can turn a painful eyesore into a stunning focal point, so what are you waiting for??

    7. Hide unsightly cords in a cable management box because you shouldn't have to look at that tangled mess day in and day out.

    8. And while you're at it, grab this under-desk cable management tray if you really want to get serious about concealing your cables. This will keep all those cords dangling behind your desk organized and invisible.

    9. Solve your bathroom's major lack-of-space issue with a slender storage cabinet! It's a cute and efficient way to store (okay, hide) additional rolls of TP and bathroom cleaning supplies. It'll fit right in between that once-useless space between the wall and your toilet.

    10. Redo your floors with some concrete paint, which is a more affordable way to handle the depressing surface you have to set foot (and eyes) on every single day. It'll require some elbow grease, but the jaw-dropping before and after photos alone will be worth it.

    11. Implement a litter box enclosure because as much as you love your kitto, you could probably do without a litter box in the middle of the room. This will serve as a piece of furniture *and* decor while hiding the litter box you love to hate.

    12. Revive sad, worn-down furniture with a wipe-on finish restorer so it looks brand-new again. You should def buy this stuff before your evil glare burns a hole in that piece of furniture that simply needs a refresher.

    13. Or for smaller jobs, get yourself a set of wood repair markers that'll get rid of minor scuffs and scratches. This quick and easy DIY fix will have your stuff lookin' flawless in no time!

    14. Install a faux-ivy privacy screen for the outdoor eyesores you have little control over, like your neighbor's messy backyard. Put this up to beautify your space *and* hide the chaos ruining your view.

    15. Make use of that wide open space under your bed with under-bed storage bags. When it's time to say goodbye to seasonal items, you'll be able to store those bulky items where they belong — out of your line of sight!

    16. And consider adding a pleated bed skirt to hide all the stuff you're storing under your bed because who wants to see that?? This neat and tidy solution will blend in with the room seamlessly.

    17. Make your entertainment area *a lot* more appealing with a TV cord cover. You didn't do ALL that work of mounting your very expensive television just to have the aesthetic ruined with a mess of cords. This cover basically becomes part of the wall, so you'll have to squint to spot it.

    18. Mask any scuff marks or scratches with a mini bottle of touch-up paint so you don't have to live with those imperfections a moment longer. Use it on your walls, furniture, cabinets, etc. It's no wonder renters love this stuff.

    19. And when all else fails, splurge on a gallon of self-priming paint to overhaul that one wall that needs more than a few touchups. It's made without toxic solvents so it won't stink up the joint. If you're not sure about committing to a full gallon, grab a single-color swatch for just $3!

    20. Cover up that awful eyesore dangling from your ceiling with an electrical cord cover. Plus, this will match your existing decor beautifully!

    21. Hit all the dirty surfaces outside of your home with an electric pressure washer, like those filthy decks, fences, and driveways you're always pouting at. It comes with a garden hose adapter, so you can start cleaning up your outdoor area ASAP!

    22. And to make your hard work last, use a semi-transparent deck and stain stealer so you don't have to clean it over.. and over.. and over again. It'll keep your wood surfaces protected from the elements so it stays looking pristine for *much* longer.

    23. Get rid of that annoying gap between your furniture and the wall with a genius flat outlet plug. Not to mention that you'll hide more of the eyesores you're sick and tired of scowling at.

    24. Keep stuff you don't want lying around in a decorative box with a hinged lid. It doubles as a nice piece of decor while concealing remotes, glasses, pill cases, and anything else you're constantly losing track of.

    25. Swap out your old lights for some modern pendant lights — it's time to let go of that secret grudge you've been holding against the old ones. You'll actually enjoy looking at these, and your guests will never stop complimenting them.

    26. And if necessary, use a recessed light conversion kit so you can bid farewell to the hideous recessed lighting in your kitchen and hang those luxurious pendant lights instead!

This self-adhesive tape is flexible and will put such a nice finishing touch on your porcelain throne that you actually won't mind looking at it!

    30. Add a vinyl transition floor strip to that one threshold in your home that makes you roll your eyes whenever you see it. This will make the transition between rooms and flooring look much more natural.
