Hiding cables for wall mounted TV

Post by deadone »

hi all, after finally gettting round to decorating my living room which is nearly done i have decided to hang my tv on the wall.
got myself a bracket and also purchased a nice 2 tier glass shelving bracket for my sky+ and ps3.

now my problem is the cables, has any1 got any links to uk suppliers of things that can hide the cables on the wall and along the skirting.
ill consider all options as these must be hidden.

pref looking for for black to go down the wall or something i can paint over or even add a cut off of my wallaper so it blends in and white for along the skirting.

regards
Mick

I made from floor till roof a wooden 15 cm wide and front 2.44x 1.22, the bracket is placed in the middle and there I made a hole in all cables go there thru and after the wooden wall is mine bassbox , not to see , but also make a nice sounds as resonance box.
Hang the LCD in the bracket and you dont see none cables:)

For the wooden wall is mine Low sideboard with there in: WII, audio, playstation, mini pc , TV cable decoder etc. its 60 high and after that sideboard is again a hole were all cables come thru back and go in the sideboard were I made small holes in.

I see none cables :) . the right part of the wall i made a small door, to get in when I need to check or put in new cables

When I set up my surround sound system I trailed the wires along the tops of the walls with white tack and then down one of the corners towards the receiver (which is situated on a TV stand underneath the TV).

I will be putting up coving which will hide the wires at the tops of the walls with only one set of wires going down towards the receiver. I'll probably paint these white in keeping with the wall.
