Easy Peasy: Hide Your TV Cables and Wires, a DIY

A fantastic all-in-one kit makes is super easy to hide all those unsightly television and cable wires!

We received an all-in-one kit to test and review from Wiremold by Legrand to hide all those awful ugly cables and wires in the wall.

The neat thing about this kit is that everything you need is included -- yes, all the tools and pieces and parts you need are packaged as a kit.

There's an easy to follow video online (a link is in my blog post on this project). The whole project should take way less than an hour to accomplish.

After some fits and starts on our end due to a sound bar and needing a longer cable, we got all the necessary holes going and wires fished through.

The grommets cleverly clamp to the walls with no need to attach them to studs.

And voila, no more cables! None! Aw, how nice is that?!

    Where did you get the white ledge the cable box is sitting on?

    Is there electrical wiring that has to be done in order to use this kit? I have mine hung above my fireplace right now that I just recently did with a similar tv mount for no stud hanging, but I have no electrical outlet near the mantle, I'm wondering if one has to be wired in order to do this? I have been thinking since it is just my dvr box that has to be connected with the HDMI cord and then of course the tv power cord plugged in I would maybe look into buying those strips that hide cords but even painted the color of the wall I think you way would look so much better. I am a female doing this by myself so I'm not sure how easy it is to achieve on my own lol =) I have done several DIY projects and I am familiar with some power tools etc but not wiring at all.

    Thx for the info but I have a bunch of electrical cords on the floor on super thick white carpet. They run about 3 ft from the wall. Any suggestions? Thx

    Thanks for sharing! I recently did a DIY project to hide mine, and it was easier than I expected. I used some cable management clips and a cord cover that matched the wall color, and now everything looks so much cleaner. If you’re dealing with a lot of wires, this simple fix is totally worth it. Also, if you’re looking to upgrade your setup, you might want to contact Sony as they have some sleek options that would pair perfectly with a cable-free look.
