apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The power strip is ubiquitous in our homes, and frankly its ugly. Instead of spending your time worrying about hiding it, why not buy a more attractive solution?

A recent trip to IKEA uncovered a hidden gem, a practical, affordable, and attractive power strip. It's attractive because they have discarded the standard power bar in favor of curves, and have used transparent materials to reveal a pleasing palette of wires in teal, blue, and gray. The Rabalder Power strip is available in three and five outlet varieties, in either blue or gray. It costs just $7.99 and $9.99 for a two-pack, respectively. (The orange, at this time, is only available in Europe.)
