Hiding wires around the TV

We moved into our new place recently and we're getting everything all set up now.  I notice that the wires around our tv are all over the place and look incredibly messy.  I was thinking of using twist ties to bind a number of the wires together but before I get started on this venture I thought I'd ask you likes how you make your wiring look neat? 

Re: Hiding wires around the TV

  • We have a flat panel tv that's mounted to the wall and a tv cabinet underneath it with the cable box, DVD player, etc. DH put all the wires into the wall at the back of the tv and brought them back out behind the cabinet to plug into everything else so you can't really see the wires at all. Do you have the option of doing something like that? Before that was set up DH just used zip ties to keep everything neat and together. I would think twist ties or electrical tape would work just as well.

  • I was in Lowes the other day in the electrical section and noticed that they have this cord cover thing that you can mount to the wall and neaten up your cords. The thing about it that caught my eye was the fact that it could be painted.

  • If you can still see your wires after using twist ties (which is a good idea), you can sow some cloth together into a tube and slip the wires through. You just pick a fabric that you like, depending on how many wires you have/how far it is to the outlet, you can get maybe 5 inch by a few feet of fabric, then fold it in half "hot dog style" and sow down the edge about a quarter inch in; Then you turn it inside out so the seam is on the inside and slip your wires through before plugging them in.
