Remove wires into the wall
A safe but time-consuming and costly way to close the cord is to hide it inside the wall. The hidden wiring does not disturb the attractive appearance of the renovation, it looks aesthetically pleasing and complete.
If there is a concrete partition at the installation site, you cannot do without chipping. This is a difficult, dusty solution that is suitable only for those who have started a major overhaul and at the stage of rough finishing remembered the desire to hang the TV on the wall and hide the cord from it.
- To do this, you need to clearly draw a diagram where the wires will go, their beginning and the exit of the route.
- The strobe in the wall is placed strictly diagonally or vertically to the nearest outlet or junction box.
- If electrical cables have already been laid in the wall, arm yourself with equipment to identify hidden wiring before starting work.
It's much easier if you need to position the TV on a plasterboard wall. Then mark the distance from the bracket to the nearest outlet, and stretch the wire in the cavity of the wall behind the building material.

Please note that if you need to lay a part of the wire and hide it horizontally, along the wall and close to the floor, use a plinth - it is produced with a special niche.To carry out the work, you only need to remove the top cover of the baseboard and then fix it back. Manipulations are carried out without additional tools, debris and dust.

Original options for decorating wires
Sometimes designers use a non-standard trick, when it is better not to mask the cords from the TV, but to leave them in the most conspicuous place and at the same time it is advantageous to beat the situation. If the length permits, they form graphic patterns on the wall, collect whole compositions that harmoniously fit into the general theme of the repair. The wires can be “dressed” in multi-colored casings, if the interior requires it. Before attaching the cables, you must first draw a sketch with a pencil on the wall.
You can decorate the hanging wires from the TV using a garland. For example, string large beads on thin wires.
