Hello Reyna; I have actually done this, as it blends in with the wall.
You can use paper towel cardboard rolls. Paint them to match your wall and slide the cords into them.
You can also build a "box" for the cords, by using wood, and painting it to match your walls.
I hope that this will give you some helpful ides!!! Take Care!

They sell paintable cord covers at hardware and home improvement stores. Purchase the length you need and paint same color as your wall.
Perhaps a piece of plastic pvc pipe or something similar that you can cut in half and adhere to the wall over the cords painted gray to match your wall so it blends in. Another option would be to paint the pipe black to match the TV and mount one or two small black shelves with a cut out for the pipe under the TV. I'm not sure if that's a cable box of some sort on your bar but the shelves would allow you to move it up out of the way. You could then put some decorative items or nice glassware and bottles on display.
PVC pipe! paint to match your wall. 1. Scrub pvc and 2. cut a section vertically from top to bottom so you can pop this on top of cords zip tied together and 3. then push it back against the wall it should blend in pretty good.
Cut a small hole behind your tv and one below (enough that yout your cords would fit) drop them down the hole and gish them out the bottom hole. Problem solved
Add pictures on the wall in cascade effect or tall flower vase.
I often secure them tight to the wall and/or down the side molding then paint them to match the wall. As long as the cord is in a straight line it often goes unseen.
Get some square trunking from a hardware store like this:

It will only cost you a few bucks - you can even get adhesive backed types. If not, double-sided tape, screws or adhesive will fix it to the wall. Cut to fit (hacksaw). Fit the deeper side of the channel to the wall. Rough it up with sandpaper (120 should do it) and paint it the same colour as the wall. Ask in the store if you're unsure about anything and make sure to get trunking with enough space for all the cables.
Move your outlet up, add a floating shelf for your cable box.
