TV cables look ghastly and often take away from the look of a well-displayed room.

When you spend time creating a ‘look’ cables can be the reason the room does not completely pop. Cables are the first thing you see!

We did and I have installed these in any room that television is mounted to the wall!

Rooms & Television Display – Why Hide Power Cables for A Mounted TV?

I love those televisions that do not sit on the 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.

Just a few years back, televisions were not able to be mounted as they were so heavy and it took an ugly shelf. No more of those shelves and televisions are now lighter! Yeah!

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 discovered this particular item.

The difference between cables and power cords showing to not showing 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.

Snapping While We Work

However, you can see it’s a great transformation! Really, I did not think about how great of an idea this would be to write about until we started the install.

Hardly was I ready for a photo shoot, so we will call this ‘rough and ready’ photography.

Truly not my pro work, but that is fine! I just really want to share this with you!

Easily Hide Power and Cables for Wall Mounted TV’s– Why 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.

I’ve had my home insulted by my most direct family.

While I really don’t care, I do hate Power and Cables hanging down the wall, they are not artwork and even with cable ties.

The fact is they look sloppy! There has to be a better way!

A painter had come to work in my home and he suggested that we get rid of those wires.

He told me he busted a hole in his wall and did something similar, but the mess he described had me cringing.

There had to be a better way! Of course, there was and this article is showing you that!
