    As an engineer, I would say be careful when you organise mains cables by twisting them into a coil (like the way you showed for the kitchen appliances). It's fine if the appliances are unpowered. But if they're powered up, the organised cables act as a coil, which might cause overheating - risk of fires 🔥.
    P.S. love your videos ❤

    • @sopot9
      @sopot9 22 дня назад +24

      Well it doesn't act as a coil because the isolation prevents it (there is too much separation between cables, and two wires will cancel the magnetic field around it), but it can cause fire simply by the fact that live wire with high amperage will produce a lot of heat. If that heat can't go anywhere it can cause insulation to melt, short wires, produce a spark and thus fire.

    I came across this video by mistake - it was recommended to me by the Algorithm Gods. I just want to say this is an excellent video with geniuinely nice hacks and tricks. Very creative and useful! Around middle of the video I thought to myself: we are in 2024, but this lady is living in 2224 already! I especially like the router in willow/open basket, the semi open TV cabinets and covering the cable/utility cabinets with big picture or mirror. These all seem so obvious now, but we rarely see those ideas recommended and they really make perfect sense!
    All this to say: this is an excellent video, thank you for sharing!! I will definitely be using these tips at my place

    Still watching, but the cable thing on appliances is genius! I don't have the space in my apartment to tuck away my rice cooker and kettle, so the cords are just kinda...shoved behind them. My kettle is glass, so don't think I can put a strip on it directly, but maybe I can put one on the wall behind it, wrap the cord, then push the kettle against it when not in use.
    Edit: Not a storage item, per se, but I like the idea of storing items that won't be used for awhile with a scented thing so it still smells nice when you finally use it.

    Thanks for making this compilation! It's super useful to be able to refer to it when looking for ideas.
    I struggled for a long time with the recycling even though I live in a city where there are containers for different materials less than two minutes away. It just feels like a waste to go there unless I have a lot of recycling :D So now I have two large laundry basktets - one for paper and one for plastic and metal - in a kitchen corner. They're plenty functional and okay visually too.

      My husband is a Director of IT for a large company and when you walk into his office there is literally NO paper. He can do everything with a computer and a Microsoft Surface Go, including making hand written notes, which it converts to text. It frankly freaks me out a bit because I love paper and writing, rather than typing. He says it's actually liberating, and it's an example to all the people (like myself 😂) who say they NEED paper. I'm sure we'll get there eventually because I know my kids do all their office and uni work on a laptop.

    Covering electrical panels like safety switches (especially rentals) and such with fixtures in some places is against fire and safety regulations. I stuck a laminated picture on the doors of these in my old place and am now lucky they're in cupboards in my current place. Check with your real estate/landlord and local laws 1st (and have a few alternative options for them to consider).

      Do you have high ceilings? If you do, maximize the vertical space for storage! We have pretty low ceilings but the apartment is about 95sqm, which is very comfortable for us since we both wfh :)

    beautiful home! for me (personally) this is not super practical. i never want to first open a lid and then pull everything out just to put it all into another bag. small ironing boards are useless for me but I iron a lot and larger scale items - my large ironing board is very easy to snap shut and put away vertically and i do it almost every other day. even the lidded basket to store drying bags and clips were too many steps for me. i have young children that i'm "training" (i mean teaching!) to clean up after themselves so picking up has to be majorly simplified and effortless. few baskets have lids but most do not. they are bigger so that the clutter does not peek through. thanks for the lovely glipse into your home and for putting together so many neat ideas.

    I ordered some side tables for my living room after watching this and am trying to think of a way to install power and USB outlets onto it, so that the cord from the power brick is the only one trailing from the table. I intend to get a small lamp for one of the tables to compliment a larger lamp and maybe cut down on using the overhead light as much.
    The tables haven't arrived yet, but they're circular, so that might cause some issues 😅. Have you ever installed USB ports into a piece of furniture before?
    Another thing I'm trying to brainstorm is maybe just putting the power brick into something. The bottom shelf of the table will have a weaved basket where I want to put a blanket, but that doesn't seem like a safe spot to put the brick...sounds like a fire hazard in the making.
    Hm. What is a medium-sized table item hollow enough that could fit something like this...? Eyy...maybe one of those boxes that are meant to look like a coffee book, but are actually for storing remotes? The table will have a drawer already, so remotes will go in there. But perhaps I can make a couple of holes in such a box to route the plug of the lamp into and then pull the cord of the brick out of.
    I'm spitballing ideas here but if any DIY folks have faced a similar conundrum, I'd love some ideas, lol.

      @@cloudyhills Oh wow, thank you! I actually had seen his video, but his are rectangular nightstands, so unfortunately, my circular tables won't allow for the face plate of the box to sit flush against the surface (curse me, I suppose, for listening to interior designers and their warnings about "Too many squares!" in living rooms, lol! It was suggested to get some furniture that is circular when you have a square couch, ottoman (or coffee table), TV stand, the TV itself, and any picture frames. So...I did 😅. But I do actually like the tables I got, lol).
      I think I'll just try to find a way to insert the box into a decorative item on the table. Had I thought of this beforehand, there actually are tables sold that already include the plugs. I have a sort of filing cabinet in my home office that has one, which makes plugging in the printer much easier, or it can be used to charge a phone.
      Thank you though for responding and for trying to help! I'll wait for the tables to arrive (think they began shipping out today) and see what I'm working with once I can get a full, 3D view of them :)

    I haven't been on RUclips for a long time and I think you must have moved. Your house seems very large and there are so many spaces to put things. Or is that an illusion. I'm kind of frustrated at the moment because we've downsized and although I like the coziness I find storage space and finding a place for everything difficult. Could you give me advice on making a room look bigger, or could you tell me how big your home is so I don't feel like comparing. I LOVE your home, by the way. It's so pretty and inviting.

    • @cloudyhills
      @cloudyhills  14 дней назад +2

      We currently live in a 95sqm duplex apartment that has an open living, dining + kitchen floorplan that makes it look pretty big. Some ways that you could make a space feel bigger - hanging furniture on walls (having them float makes the floors feel emptier), maximizing vertical space, or even colour drenching the room!
