I watch TV from my chair and seethe at the constant blinking WiFi box. I hate all those wires too. Recently I restored a fabric covered storage cube. It is the fourth of a set, three of which are now under my kitchen sink. It has been sitting in front of me waiting for me to find tape to secure the bottom.
Suddenly last night, everything came together. I popped the box, without a bottom over the WiFi and tucked all the nasty wires inside. Now I have a decorative cube near my TV, which by fortunate coincidence is colour coordinated with the tables in the rest of the room.
Wow, do I feel good about this. I am going to do something similar with all the other obnoxious wires we have to live with, under my desk for all the computer spaghetti.

I know what you mean about the blinking light. I got up in the middle of the night last night and when I walked into my living room it looked like I little UFO"S everywhere. All these little lights were blinking everywhere. On the TV, DVD player, phone handsets, the light on the front of my lap top.
What a brilliant idea! I have a pile of wires behind my TV on my kitchen counter (telephone, cell phone, cable hookup etc.) They drive me nuts. By tomorrow they will be covered by a lovely upholstered box. Thanks so much!
You have a wonderful idea! I only wish you could unplug some of those items without losing important data. Even when they're covered, those little blinking lights mean those items are drawing energy.
Exactly how did you start to finish making these boxes I have been trying for years to stop having all of those different wires from showing to having to bend over ( awaiting for my surgery to get the new knees and bending over is just not going to happen anytime soon during this COVID 19 pandemic. Thank you for any and all help. God bless.
