Wall Decor Styles: Effective Ways to Hide TV Wires

Hide the wires in the wall

A safe, but time-consuming and expensive way to hide the cord is to hide it inside the wall. Hidden wiring does not disturb the attractive appearance of the repair, it looks aesthetically pleasing and complete.

If the installation site is a concrete partition, you cannot do without chasing. This is a difficult, dusty solution that will only suit those who have started a major renovation and at the rough finishing stage remembered the desire to hang the TV on the wall and hide the cord from it.

• To do this, you need to clearly draw a diagram of where the wires will go, their beginning and the exit of the route.
• The groove in the wall is placed strictly diagonally or vertically to the nearest outlet or distribution box.
• If electrical cables have already been laid in the wall, arm yourself with equipment to detect hidden wiring before starting work.

Everything is much simpler if you need to place a TV on a plasterboard wall. Then mark the distance from the bracket to the nearest outlet, and pull the wire into the wall cavity behind the building material.

Hide in a cable channel or decorative box

Using such a product is a simple and budget-friendly method for hiding the wiring from the TV. You can find plastic, metal and combined types on the market. This way of hiding the wiring is not only stylish, but also safe. The boxes comply with fire safety regulations.

The main thing is to choose the right size of the material, taking into account all the cables that need to be placed in it, and also calculate the length to the outlet. This material is produced in pieces 2 m long, which must be connected with special elements (connectors, plugs, tees, corners of different directions when turning, etc.). The color of the box is selected in accordance with the wall paneling.

Decorative boxes can turn cable networks from the TV into a detail of thematic decor on the wall.

Hide in furniture

You can place a hanging panel with a built-in compartment for wiring, with a closing door, under the TV. A bench will look good under the screen. But the most common way to hide the cable coming from the TV is to place practical furniture underneath it: a cabinet or a tall cabinet. It is enough to place it in the TV area and all the wiring will be located behind the cabinets or shelves on the wall.

Please note that if you need to lay part of the cable and hide it horizontally, along the wall and close to the floor, use a baseboard – it is produced with a special niche. To carry out the work, you only need to remove the top cover of the baseboard and then – fix it back. Manipulations are performed without additional tools, debris and dust.

A good idea for decorating, hiding and beautifying an electrical cable is to use silicone stickers. They are inexpensive and can fit into almost any design. By using your imagination, you can create a composition of intertwining flowers, sitting birds, etc.

Original options for decorating wires

Sometimes designers use an unconventional technique when it is better not to mask the cords from the TV, but to leave them in the most visible place and at the same time to advantageously play up the environment. If the length allows – they form graphic patterns on the wall, collect entire compositions that harmoniously fit into the general theme of the repair. Wires can be “dressed” in multi-colored casings, if the interior requires it. Before attaching the cables, you must first draw a sketch on the wall with a pencil.

You can decorate the hanging wires from the TV with a garland. For example, string large beads on thin wires.
