In our quest to build a kitchen worthy of Nancy Meyers, there is always a trade-off between function and beauty. You want to keep the appliances you use every day (or most days) visible on your countertop, but your countertop is covered in one large power strip with a long electrical cord snaking behind it. You don't want it to look like this. Go to the nearest outlet. Fortunately, there are organization tools that can solve almost any problem, including this one. You don't have to choose between taking your coffee maker or airfryer out of the cupboard every time you use it or staring at a cord all day.

Shoppers are swapping their $80 eye balm for the Helen Mirren-approved brand's “amazing” $14 brightening eye cream
Amazon is currently selling a set of cord organizers for $10 that you can stick to almost anything and organize your surfaces in seconds. It's so convenient and amazing that it became a hot topic on Instagram.
These wire organizers from Lancord are sold in sets of eight and have nearly 800 five-star reviews on Amazon. These small silicone attachments come in a variety of colors and have an adhesive backing so you can stick them directly to your appliances. Wrap the excess cord around each side of the clip to form a neat loop to secure the plug in the center slot.
When you stick these organizers to the back of your appliances, the cords are completely hidden from view, and once you secure the ends of the cords, you don't have to worry about the wires coming undone from the loops.
You can also mount it on the wall near an electrical outlet, creating a clean, intentional space where each plug is attached and wires are neatly stored.
Lancord Cord Organizer for Home Appliances, Pack of 8
Big tip from reviewers: Make sure to let the adhesive adhere to the surface you're applying it to for 6-12 hours, as recommended by the brand, before using it to secure cables. Otherwise, there is a risk that the glue will not be able to withstand the work. After an initial waiting period, you'll have an appealing organizational solution that one shopper says she's wanted for the past 20 years.
One reviewer shared, “I used it in my KitchenAid blender, toaster, rice cooker, slow cooker, and food processor.” “I definitely recommend it! It sticks well and bends a little so it's easy to use. Oh, and the color matched my appliances perfectly.”
Another shopper raved that it was “so much cleaner and easier” than other cord cleaning solutions, and many more reported that their kitchen “looks much nicer” without those pesky cords. I am.
If you've been frustrated with loose cords for a while, this organization set could be an affordable way to upgrade the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.
