How To Easily Hide Power and Cables For A Wall Mounted TV

This is the magic behind the television and I am about to show you how. It’s so easy and looks so great you will want to do this for all your wall mounted televisions!

I love that televisions are not on furniture, especially in teen rooms. Clothes don’t pile up and I don’t have to worry if they are going to knock it off while they are doing their boy thing. As you know Michael heads up my DIY on my site, and this was so not hard at all! He too was happy that my ‘Queen of Shopping’ mode kicked and and discovered this particular item.

The difference between cables and power cords showing to not, is pretty amazing, and it actually makes the television appear as a piece of framed art rather than a television. The television looks like it was always part of the wall.

I will apologize for the flash not on for both images, but we were working so fast, I did not think. However you can see it’s a great transformation!

Why To Do This?

Some of us hate how the wall looks with wires. Others of us, have those relatives that come into our homes and don’t know when to shut their mouths. They suggest that we should get rid of those wires. Or they ask, “why do you have wires showing, it looks terrible!” (perhaps we could hide them, lol! – Tis the season)

Things You Need To Know About Hiding Your Power and Cables

You will be cutting into a wall. It’s not a large cut, but you do want to know that. Also, make sure you have a pencil and a tape measure. Beyond that everything YOU need is in the Legrand In Wall Power Kit. We found ours at Best Buy where we find all of our tech and appliances!

You are about to extend power to a wall mount TV without modifying the home’s existing electrical wiring.

Will It Work With Your Television?

At first, I was wondering if it would work with our television, but a wall-mounted television is a wall-mounted television. So the answer is ‘Yes’. The kit works with any TV brand! And, what I love is that it will power more than one device. Your TV and a speaker bar, or internet box!

Weird Positioning? No Worries

Trust me, when we built our house, somehow the contractors put things in weird spots, like on right angles and wall warts, etc. The Legrand in-wall kit supports almost any type of power plug including right angles and wall warts.

In the end, you can connect your television to cable and electricity in seamless style with this Legrand flat panel recessed connection kit. It’s crazy great how the in-wall storage takes control of cables and wires to eliminate tangles across your floor!

Further, the white decorator plate provides a finished look. Last, if you ever need to get to the back of your TV, no worries. The Legrand flat panel recessed connection kit offers convenient access to the back of your TV.

What I love is that the end result of hiding the cables is the clean, wire-free look left behind. Additionally, it looks like a professional was in here. Well, my husband is pro at all he does (yeah, gotta recognize him for all he does) but, it is truly one of those so simple DIY’s no worries.

You will be so happy you did this, go for it!
