How to Hide Cables in the Living Room: 5 Tips

Cable hiding is an art that wants to be learned – because your own home cinema is only half as beautiful, if behind the TV an unsightly cable salad stands out. We give tips on how to get cables sent cleverly.


Tip 1: Use the footer strip


If cables can not be avoided, the footboard is an ideal means of hiding stripping. And if you do not already have one, it is worth visiting the DIY store: there is a huge selection that is different in shape and appearance and meets almost every taste.


Tip 2: Cable ducts do not have to be ugly


If the compact boxes or the TV hang on the wall, the cables somehow have to be led to the device. Unobtrusive white cable ducts can be found in almost every hardware store.


Tip 3: DIY enthusiasts are in demand


However, cable ducts can also be used in a targeted way to enhance the space, for example with the Ambientech solution from in-akustik.


Tip 4: Use a flat cable specifically


With elongated wooden boards, which are fixed in a one to two centimeters distance in front of the wall, cables behind it can be well hidden. If you are skilled in crafts, you might also want to place lamps in the cable glare: for a good mood in the living room.


Lesetipp: Set up a wireless HDMI connection - this is how it works


Whether it is a loudspeaker or HDMI cable: Flat versions are available besides the round standard versions. They are best suited to placing them under the carpet or sunken behind the wallpaper.


TV furniture and Hi-Fi rack manufacturers such as Spectral, Schnepel and VCM offer a variety of ways to make cables invisible. The cheap solutions are already available for 100 euros. An immense selection can be found at monitorhalterung.de as well as the wall rack OmniMount MWFS (see picture above).


Tip 5: Special furniture for every purpose
