Does any one of you geniuses out there have a good life hack on hiding TV cords from a TV that is mounted on the wall? Preferably a decorative hack. I want them completely hidden.

Hi Kayla, can you tell us a bit more about your setup? E.g. where are the cables going and is there already anything else on the wall with the tv (cupboards etc.)?– The RavenCommented Aug 23, 2019 at 18:29

7A photo of the TV and wall would give us a better idea of where the cords are and how to hide them!– BrettFromLACommented Aug 23, 2019 at 18:42

Transform them into art. See below.

Don't do this! The tight radius on all those corners damages the cables.– HobbesCommented Sep 16, 2019 at 10:06

The radius depends on the cables, of course. Shaping an HDMI cable as tight as if you would shape a mouse cord is definitely a bad idea. If the HDMI cord is long enough, some kind of infinity sign is already enough, and the radius needs not be tight.– virolinoCommented Sep 16, 2019 at 10:07
As far as I am aware, you have 3 options...
- Use a PVC cable cover strip
- Use a rubber/ plastic cable protection
- Last but not least, if you don't want ANY cables, have a wall power socket installed behind your TV and get your HDMI/ audio cables installed in your walls.
One idea is a tall plant or indoor tree (even a fake one). I assume the cords just hang down from the wall-mounted TV, so you could place the plant in front of them.
One advantage of a fake plant is that you can get one that's exactly the right height, and you won't have to deal with it growing taller.
