OK, sounds like you cannot cut, change, spindle or mutilate the cords....
You could make a false back wall to the case into which the cords, whole or in part, can disappear. You might make a loop in the cord as suggested above, where the back side of the loop goes into a hole in the back case of the wall, where most of the cord will reside out of sight. The cord emerges from the hole, makes a loop that hides the hole, sort of, and thence to a faux outlet or to dangle at a jaunty angle. The illusion is the cord is shorter than it really is.
Or you could put your items on pedestals where the cords disappear into the cavity of the pedestal, or behind it.
Hope this helps,

If the cables can be unplugged from their devices, you can order cables of various length on Amazon. Otherwise, you can buy replacment plugs that can be wired onto the existing cables by cutting off the original plugs at the length you desire, and attaching the new plugs. Just wire cutters and screw driver is all tha is needed

Assuming you can't shorten the cords:
-Loop each in a circle or other form around its respective appliance
-Make a tight coil of each cord and let hang below its appliance
-Use cords as lines and draw or write something
-Plug cords into dummy receptacles; let hang in overlapping catenary curves
Good luck.

I am working on an upcoming product design exhibit that features hair dryers and slide projectors. These pieces have unruly power cords, and due to the style of the display, they cannot be hidden.
Has anyone come across a really clean, aesthetic way to display power cords?
