How to Hide Electrical Cords in Your Home Decor

Paying close attention to the details is essential when decorating your home. Each component helps to create a harmonious and welcoming space, from picking the ideal color scheme to choosing the ideal furnishings. Electrical cords are one part of house design that is frequently disregarded. Cords that are unsightly can quickly ruin a room's visual appeal. But don't worry! With some planning and creative problem solving, you can conceal those pesky cords and have an organized clean look. We’ve gathered together a few suggestions for decorating your home to hide electrical wires.


Make Use of Decor and Furniture

Making smart use of your home's furnishings and accent pieces is another clever approach to conceal cords. Side tables, bookshelves, chairs, plants… use them to hide your cords. On a coffee table or media console, or utilize ornamental objects to collect and conceal cords. A wicker basket with a lid for example, no one knows you have a cord hidden in there! Be sure to pick pieces that go well with your style.


Use Raceways or Cord Covers

A wonderful technique to conceal cords along walls or baseboards is using cord covers or raceways. These slim, low-profile covers come in a variety of colors and materials, including plastic and paintable alternatives, so you can match them to the color of your walls or effortlessly incorporate them into your decor. To keep several cords neatly organized and hidden, you can run them through cord covers or raceways, which are simple to install with adhesive backing.


Use Hooks, Cord Clips and Covers

A quick and inexpensive way for keeping cords concealed and organized is to use cord clips or hooks. These accessories allow you to keep your cords on your selected (and discrete) pathway. They can be fastened to the underside of furniture or along baseboards. Some of these concealment accessories can be painted for maximum camouflage.


Use the Walls

You may want to take into account in-wall cord hiding for a more robust and seamless solution. If you don't feel confident in your ability to complete this choice, it's crucial to get expert assistance. This option may need some DIY skills and knowledge of electrical work unless hiring a pro is an option for you. Cutting a hole behind the TV or other device, routing the wires through the wall hollow, and then patching and painting the hole to integrate it with the wall are all steps in the process of in-wall cord concealing. This approach eliminates all visible connections for a neat, minimalistic appearance. Hiring a professional may be a good option, but make sure you know where you want to keep your device before committing.


Choose Cordless Devices or Appliances

Making the switch to cordless appliances or devices whenever possible is another efficient technique to lessen the number of cables in your home. For instance, you can select cordless speakers for your audio system, charging stations for your devices, or vacuum cleaners. You may substantially lessen the mess and difficulty of dealing with wires in your home decor by completely eliminating the necessity for them.

With a little imagination and preparation, hiding wiring in your home design is not only feasible but also simple!
