If you want to hide ugly, little power outlets cover them up with the miniature Japanese screen doors.

Designer Tori Sugimura has found a solution that will hide the fuss while simultaneously adding a delicate feature to your home. These Shoji screens are made of wood and washi paper like traditional normal sized Shojis. Traditional Shoji are usually used in homes as space-savers or to divide rooms, but these can be incorporated into modern decor with a little Japanese flair.

These tasteful cover-ups are a perfect way to hide electrical outlets from toddlers, and are more practical and functional than dangerous plastic inserts. If you want to experience a little Japanese culture, these mini sliding dividers will satisfy your diversity.
