Otherwise, snake the wires to the underneath of a console, hide them behind books, etc.Īny progress on hiding TV wires will make your space look so much better. Use what you have and, if you are lucky, you might have a piece of furniture that allows you to run the cables through the furniture to help hide them. I guess the moral of the story is that there isn't one way to keep your cables tidy. For that piece, I ended up putting a nail in the back of the underneath of the dresser and wrapping the cable tie around the nail. In our bedroom, upstairs, we use a dresser as a media cabinet and that was pretty tricky to hide the cords under. For this console, I switched to a sleek socket wall mount with power strip and was able to hide the power strip inside the cabinet door of the console.Įach and every console is different, so you just have to work around what you have with your furniture and buy a few organizing supplies to help keep the cords in place. Ok, back to present day! I used some of the same tools and ideas to hide the cords behind my new (but vintage) media console. It just takes a few different wire organizing clips, cable ties, etc., and you should be on your way to a clutter-free TV wire situation. The more I've worked with wire hiding ideas and tricks (see a HUGE blog post I did about in the bedroom called cord control cord management), the easier the solutions come to me.
With just a few changes on our leggy media cabinet, the cords were no longer visible. For quite a while, we were dealing with this: The issue with having leggier furniture is that the cord clutter is much harder to hide. The sideboard that I decided to use as a media cabinet had a bigger clearance between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor.
After finally finding a set-up that worked, I realized that my cord clutter was out of control. We've moved our television and console around a few times, even changing consoles completely. And yes, this is the exact same space showing the TV in the exact same spot!! Crazy beans! The original post was published in 2014 and, wow, what a change our space has been through. The struggle is still real with cord clutter, so I thought I'd share my media cabinet as it is today (up above) plus, exact steps that I worked through to hide the cords a few years ago and implemented again on this console.Īs you are reading through this post, take note of our living room changes. * This is an older post that I've updated. Today, I'm sharing some wire hiding ideas specifically for media cabinets and consoles. All about hiding TV wires! We all struggle with electrical cords on walls behind media consoles.
