It’s time to clean up the waterfall of wires pouring from your TV. For a less cluttered look, you can hide those wires quickly and inexpensively.
One of the easiest ways to hide TV wires is by putting them behind furniture and securing them to wire clips with double-sided tape. If you have large decor pieces resting on your TV stand, you could also conceal the wires behind the decor. Another option is purchasing cord covers known as “raceways.” Raceways are hollow channels that attach to the wall and house the wires. They can be painted to match your wall color and make them completely unnoticeable.
I purchased a cord raceway kit for under $15, and it was exactly what I needed for the cable management for my setup. I had about an 11-inch distance between the TV and the TV console, so I went with a raceway that was a few inches longer than that and hid it behind the TV and TV console.
Raceways can be easily cut to fit whatever distance you are working with, so it isn’t a big deal if you can’t find the exact distance you are looking for. Just go a little bigger and cut it down to size. I currently have three wires to hide, but I made sure the raceway I purchased was wide enough to fit at least four wires in case I wanted to add more components like a home theater system in the future.
