It is completely unrealistic to imagine our life without electricity. It is for this reason that the average modern apartment contains a lot more wires than in the old days. We are talking not only about electrical wiring elements and numerous cords from devices, but also about a "low current" for telecommunications. And today we will talk about how to hide these elements efficiently and gracefully.

• You can trip over the wires;
• Small children or animals can damage the wiring and be electrocuted;
• The sight of wires lying on the floor or hanging from the walls greatly impairs the design of the room.

We hide wiring and low-current wires

I would like to start with the wiring, that is, with the cables running from the distribution infrastructure at the entrance to the power points - sockets. In addition, this section is also relevant for low-voltage wires for the telephone and the Internet. As a rule, these wires are hidden in the floor, walls or ceiling, or run through special cable runners. But first things first.

Walls

Traditionally, two types are used:

1. Shtroblenie. Making recesses in an existing wall. As a rule, this is a shallow groove, which we create using a puncher, grinder or a special tool - a wall chaser. After that, the wires are simply laid into the grooves and sealed with putty;
2. GKL gasket. Often, plasterboard sheets are used in the decoration of the room, which not only cover existing walls, but also create new partitions. In this case, the installation is greatly simplified, since there is a distance under the plasterboard sheets due to the presence of the frame.

All these methods have common rules:

• Wires should be laid no closer than 15 centimeters from the ceiling;
• Diagonal laying is not allowed - you need to work only in horizontal or vertical directions;
• You must know exactly where the wires are laid so as not to hurt them in the future. Map the wiring in the walls;
• In order to facilitate the management of the supply of electricity, junction boxes are mounted along the route of the wires.

Important! The existing wallpaper will not interfere with you to carry out such a gasket. Just carefully peel them off at the place where the grooves are made, so that after the work is completed, return them to their original place.

Ceiling

Shtroblenie in the case of the ceiling is similar to the walls. Thus, we can bring the wire to the place where the chandelier is fixed. After that, it remains only to level the place and carry out the general finishing of the ceiling. However, it is much more convenient to use suspended ceilings, drywall sheets and other finishing methods, including stretch options. In this case, there are niches in which wires can already be placed. In addition, in doing so, we can provide electricity not only to the chandelier, but also to create many different lighting concepts, supplying power to all light sources. As for communication wiring, a weak current is usually not laid anywhere except on walls.

Floor

The most rare way. After all, disassembling the floor to replace the wire is much more difficult than in the case of the wall. In addition, heating systems are often laid in the floor, and there is simply no place for other communications. Finally, floors can be flooded, or simply exposed to moisture, which is not very good in the case of electricity.

But if you still decide on this, then they usually use gating in a ready-made cement floor, as is the case with walls. Also, wires in corrugated channels can be laid in a screed, pouring a cement composition from above.

Overhead cable channels and skirting boards

We decided to display this item separately, since the method, although hidden, still implies placement outside the wall. At the same time, not only wiring and “low power” are carried out in this way, but also cords with wires. So, in hardware stores you can easily buy skirting boards with a place for a cable, which will save a lot of time and effort compared to arranging everything inside the wall. But you need to understand that in this form, wiring and cords will be more vulnerable to mechanical stress and flooding.

Today, there are special cable channels, which mean long plastic products with an empty space in the center. Often they are often used in a vertical position in order to lay power or an Internet wire from the same plinth to a consumption device - a TV or a router.

How to fix the cable channel to the wall

Some people make a gross mistake by not fixing this polymer element against the wall. But in fact, it is very simple to do this. There are several ways:

• Liquid Nails. In fact, these are not nails, but a special glue. The option is used if we attach the cable to a tile or other very smooth surface. At the same time, you need to understand that this glue, despite its strength, will still not hold securely. So they use it rather as an additional fastener, and as the main one it is necessary to use it only when there are no other options;
• Self-tapping screws. With their help, the cable channel is conveniently attached to aluminum or wood. As for the length, you should not overdo it, since when located 40 centimeters apart, the adhesion force with the wall will be enough. It is better to screw in with a screwdriver, since manually this process is very labor-intensive;
• Dowels. This method is chosen if we place the cable channel on a concrete or brick wall. Here we should pre-drill holes in the plastic bottom of the channel, then attach it to the wall and mark places there. Then it remains only to drill holes in the marked parts with a puncher and insert dowels there according to their design.

Important! Regardless of the method used above, when using it, the wall should be as even as possible, since irregularities will reduce the strength of the fastening. It is better to connect two cable channels using ready-made corners, but you can also cut them at an angle of 45 degrees.

Cord disguise

In most cases, it is the cords that interfere with us, ranging from the wires of the surge protector to the computer and ending with the numerous wires from the equipment. In this case, you can use many options for masking. Here is some of them:

• Wires in a box. The easiest way, since everyone has boxes, and it’s easy to work with them. At the same time, there are ready-made options, like the Plug Hub, where the bottom is covered with rubber, and the walls themselves are plastic. Yes, and an ordinary box often spoils the view with its presence;
• Sticking to the table. Actual for wires from a computer, which often just hang from the table and get tangled underfoot. But you can just put them together and attach something sticky to the back of the table;
• Homemade or ready-made clamps. It does not matter what and how they are made - the main function is to keep all the plugs at hand in the right place. Suitable for a variety of chargers that we actively use.

Remember that electrical wires are potentially dangerous, so do not use them longer than required. Twisting and weaving is not allowed, as this increases the risk of fire, as well as the chance of electric shock. If in one place you have to use a lot of wires, then it is better to mark them in order to eliminate confusion. Finally, separate the electrical power wires and the "low power", usually responsible for the Internet and communications. Otherwise, you will get a lot of interference.

We welcome everyone who looked to us on the Internet light. Our portal is connected with electrical issues, but we do not forget to periodically talk about things indirectly related to it, which, however, are no less important in our everyday life.

The choice of today's topic fell on the TV on the bracket, namely, how to hide the wires from the TV on the wall. At first glance, it may seem that the question is not so complicated, but even the most ardent skeptics, after reading the material, will discover something interesting and new. So let's go!

We will start with the most obvious and will gradually move towards more interesting and original solutions.

Straight into the wall

Today, concealed wiring is more popular than ever, and indeed, people try to hide from their eyes any communications that, in their opinion, spoil the appearance of the interior. An exception was not made for the antenna wire for the TV, which very often has to be pulled through the entire apartment or house, since a high-quality video signal can often be obtained only by installing the receiver only in a certain place.

• Floor plinths with cable channels, which can hide most of the cable along its length, are very helpful in solving this problem. However, if the TV is hanging on the wall, the wire has to be taken out of the plinth and directed to it, and it is not difficult to guess that the whole picture immediately deteriorates.
• Plus, do not forget that the antenna television wire is not the only cable that fits the TV. At a minimum, you will need to power the equipment from the electrical network, but, as a maximum, it will also include: LAN Internet cable (many modern TVs are already, in fact, a computer that can access the network); wires for transmitting video and audio signals from various DVD players, TV receivers, HI-FI acoustics and more.
• The picture begins to emerge and is completely horrific, and sometimes the maximum that can be done is to wind everything up in a bunch of nylon ties, and at least somehow try to disguise all this disgrace.

Perhaps the most time-consuming and dirty way to hide such a number of wires will be laying them in the strobes made in the wall during the repair. However, the method can be safely called the most accurate and technologically advanced, since the wires hidden in this way will not be gnawed by your cat, no one will accidentally hook your foot, plus everything will be displayed in a single console containing all the necessary outputs.

In this case, there is no need to hollow out the entire wall in order to spread all the wires around the room. It is enough to stretch them to the same plinth and hide everything else in it.

The big disadvantage of this approach is that it is applicable only in premises where renovation work is being carried out. If your walls are just done and you don't want to touch them anytime soon, then scroll right through to the next chapter for alternative methods on how to hide your TV antenna wire.

If you are ready to take drastic measures, then stock up on tools and go ahead:

• First of all, you need to accurately outline the location of the TV on the wall.
• Next, determine which bracket you will use for mounting. This moment is very important, because, despite the VESA world standard, which includes the most common attachment points, the brackets themselves can be of different shapes and sizes.

Advice! Without paying attention to this, you can end up with communications peeking out from behind the “carcass” of the TV, since the bracket is too massive, or it will interfere with switching.

• It is desirable that the device is already in your hands, so that everything is measured clearly.
• Try on the bracket to the TV and measure the distance that remains to the edges - it is on it that we will place all the sockets.
• We transfer the measurements to the wall and begin to dust. The grinder cuts two vertical strips a couple of centimeters deep, at a distance of 2-3 centimeters from each other.
• Next, the inner part is hollowed out with a puncher to form a full-fledged strobe.

• After, with the help of diamond crowns, a series of holes is made for the purchased TV outlet. Immediately see that this element contains all the necessary outlets and a sufficient number of power points so that it is enough to connect all the equipment.
• The next steps are extremely simple. First, all the wires are laid in the strobes, which must first be fixed with plastic brackets so that they do not fall out and do not interfere with further plastering.
• The ends of the wires are connected according to the scheme with the socket, and it is installed in its place.
• All strobes are sealed with gypsum plaster, after which subsequent finishing is performed.

cable channel

A less elegant solution would be to use a cable channel, but not everything is so simple - you can make this element yourself or find a non-standard store option, making it an integral part of the interior. Plus, do not forget that it will be much easier and faster to implement such an undertaking.

Having studied the assortment of electrical goods stores and those selling electronics, you can find the following types of cable channels:

• The easiest option is PVC.. Everyone saw them - this is an ordinary plastic box in white or another color, which has a removable lid held on by latches. It is possible to successfully fit such a product into the interior only if it is combined with the environment in terms of color - it will merge with it or, on the contrary, will be brightly contrasting.

• Quite a rarity - models from MDF that can be effectively combined with the environment.
• Metal options- more often it is aluminum, which is shown in one of the photos above. Such a product looks impressive enough to become part of some futuristic interior.

The structure of all models is very similar. They are attached directly to the wall with dowel screws, after which all connections, together with wires, are hidden under a decorative overlay.

As already mentioned, in some cases it is advisable to make a box with your own hands. The quality of workmanship and the final appearance will depend entirely on your ability to handle the tool, as well as the type of materials used in the decoration of the room.

The photo above shows a very simple and at the same time effective way to assemble such a box. It is made of planed boards, between which all the wires are laid. Any decorative overlay can be placed on top of them, and the boards themselves can be painted in any shade to make them as inconspicuous as possible.

Special furniture

Furniture manufacturers also did not bypass the problem and offered their solutions to the buyer.

As you can see, the variety is very large, and there are enough non-standard furniture options. In part, they are not able to hide all communications and still require gating, however, with this approach, there will be much less dirt, so you can resort to this method even in a renovated room, doing everything as carefully as possible.

Creative approach to problem solving

Well, for dessert, we offer you several options that can not only be effective, but also allow you to additionally decorate the room.

decoration

A very interesting way out of the situation is not to hide the wires from the TV on the wall, but to decorate them, that is, to make them part of the interior.

Here are some interesting examples:

There are a lot of decoration options, and even manufacturers offer their own solutions. And if you have enough experience and imagination to create and implement your ideas, you can create a real masterpiece for mere pennies.

The simplest ways of artistic decoration will be the following options:

• Parts of the wires can be placed behind the furniture, attached to it from the back with tape or staples;
• Install living plants under the TV;
• Use varnished driftwood;
• Make a necklace out of wire by putting large beads on it;
• Apply ready-made plastic clamps from the manufacturer;
• And much more.

Decorative boxes

If the wires themselves do not bother you much, but the massive tees and extension cords “calm” your eyes, then the original solution to the issue will be to place them inside a decorative box that you can make yourself or purchase a ready-made version. By the way, instructions for assembling one of these solutions will be given in the video attached to the article.

Various devices are also very effective, allowing you to hide and secure the largest parts in inconspicuous places.

Here are some photos with similar solutions:

That, in principle, is all that we wanted to tell you about how you can hide or disguise the antenna wire for the TV and other cables. No need to put up with the given! Approach the matter wisely, and the result will not keep you waiting!

Wiring a TV cable in an apartment is an important step in connecting a TV. It provides not only a functional component, but also an aesthetic one.

A well-laid line provides a continuous clear signal, and a few simple methods will help to remove, mask, hide the wires so as not to spoil the overall picture of the situation. In addition, it is important to provide for all the components of the television backbone, thereby ensuring the connection of additional devices without a forced redesign.

Cable laying rules and sequence of actions

The coaxial wire combines two functions - signal transmission from the receiver to the display device and protection from external electromagnetic radiation. To ensure the best possible signal quality, the antenna cabling must be properly implemented to maintain these characteristics.

First of all, you need to draw up a small length scheme with a minimum number of adapters and joints. Already at this stage, it is necessary to provide for a masking method, since not only the design, but also the necessary strength of the protective coating depends on this. In a private house, part of the conductor may be located on the street. Therefore, when choosing a suitable model, special attention should be paid to its density and the presence of a moisture-proof layer.

Coaxial cable laying in branched systems is carried out by means of plugs, adders, splitters, sockets, etc. The more of them, the stronger will be the attenuation of the signal. To eliminate this problem, you need to choose only high-quality products.

After planning the passage of the television cable in an apartment or private house, all the necessary equipment is purchased. Then proceed to the installation, which starts from connecting directly to the antenna, leading to all connection points, checking and decorating. The process requires adherence to several rules:

• it is not recommended to bend the wires and leave them where they are easily damaged;
• the distance from electrical wiring must be at least 10 cm;
• in case of deformation of the outer shell, it is necessary to replace the damaged area or solder it with plastic, otherwise the protective screen will corrode and the signal will deteriorate;
• when laying in a strobe with subsequent termination, it is necessary to place the conductor in a protective channel;
• if the cable length from the receiver to the decoder exceeds 40 m, you need to install a signal amplifier;
• to facilitate further maintenance, all wires must be described by attaching plastic tags to them.

How to independently lay a television cable in an apartment

To lay the cable for the TV in the apartment, you can use the services of professionals, but it is permissible to cope with the process on your own. The main thing in this matter is to try to install as few connecting elements as possible, keep the wire intact, and carry out all fastenings reliably.

Laying a television cable can be of three types:

• pass-through, in which the signal is transmitted sequentially from one outlet to another;
• "star" - the main conductor is brought into the apartment, and at a selected point a branch is made from it in all rooms;
• a mixed network that includes both types.

At the very beginning, a cable is laid from a collective antenna or a cable television trunk, which are located at the entrance and on each floor (often the splitter is hidden in a special cabinet). When installing the access point, one entrance, a connector for moving to the next floor and the number of exits corresponding to the number of apartments are provided. If the apartment has an individual antenna, the wire is connected to it through a plug.

After the cord is laid from the outside, the lines designed for all rooms should be laid. In this case, it may be necessary to extend the network, which is implemented as follows:

• through an adapter in the form of a barrel with two outlets, where F-shaped plugs are screwed;
• using an extension cable, which on one side is equipped with a socket for connecting a conductor, and on the other - with a thread for screwing in a plug from a receiver or socket;
• the twisting method, which is the cheapest and simplest, but unreliable, because the risk of contact between the central core and the shielded layer is too great, rupture at the slightest deformation and signal loss.

The wiring of the television cable begins and ends with the installation of the F-plug. This part fully meets all requirements. The product is available in straight and angle versions and is suitable for all signal types. To install, follow these steps:

• cut the cable so that the end is flat and perpendicular;
• expose the central core by pulling the sheath and cutting off the metal braid, to exclude the possibility of the core coming into contact with the screen;
• put on the bare element and screw the plug so that the rod appears on the reverse side by no more than 1 mm, and the cord body fits snugly into the connector sleeve.

Masking the TV cable in the apartment

After the preliminary laying of the TV cable around the apartment has been completed, you need to decide where you can hide the structure so that it does not spoil the appearance of the walls and floor. A reliable and high-quality way is to make a strobe in the wall at the finishing stage and get a flat surface. But sometimes this is not possible, and the wallpaper is already pasted or the housing is rented.

You can choose one of the best ideas on how to hide the wires from the TV: it is recommended to cover the cable on the floor with a plinth specially designed for this purpose; competent decoration, a box or a plastic channel will help to hide the wires.

Removing into the wall

From the functional and aesthetic side, it is best to implement the method when the cables are pulled even at the repair stage - you can stretch and drown them in a recess in the wall - in a strobe. Then level the surface and carry out the finish. This process requires time, effort and a preliminary scheme for installing equipment.

To work, you will need a drill or a puncher (if the walls are concrete), a grinder, a painting tool, gypsum putty or putty. First, longitudinal recesses are cut along the length of the conductor. Then a section of the wall between them is hollowed out of such a depth that all the cords fit there. There must be room for a high-quality and reliable seal. All necessary branchings and connectors are installed, fixing is carried out with clamps and self-tapping screws. Only after checking the operability of the line of the hole are smeared.

Even if the finishing work is completed and the question arose of how to hide the wires from the TV on the wall, this method is applicable, but it will require more scrupulousness, because at the final stage it will be necessary to restore the original appearance of the wall - recreate the structure or glue a strip of wallpaper cut precisely by drawing. If you take the work responsibly, the surface will look as beautiful as before the intervention.

cable channel

The easiest way to hide coaxial wiring is a cable channel. It is easy to hang a plastic or metal fixture: hang the TV on the wall, connect the antenna cord to it, screw the channel base with self-tapping screws, insert all the wires inside the second part of the structure and fix it by snapping the groove lock.

Special furniture

When laying a line to the TV for short distances, it is recommended to use pieces of furniture that will hide it with their body. It can be a wall, a long pedestal, special mobile furniture, assembled as a designer. The main thing is to correctly position the interior elements so that the wires are not visible.

decoration

If you do not have the opportunity and skills to use radical methods, it is recommended to use your imagination. The decorating method opens up endless possibilities: we hide wires on the wall under original curtains and driftwood, we cover them with ornate figurines or houseplants, we lay them under carpets, etc.

This method will help to hide not only the coaxial cable, but also the network cable, which most often just hangs from the TV to the outlet.

Decorative boxes

It is often necessary to hide the wires when they are already stretched across the ceiling or floor. Decorative boxes that work by analogy with cable channels are able to help. This method is easy to implement and allows you to choose a suitable model of a decorative product from a large number of products on the market that differ in color, texture and size.

Today, massive TVs have been replaced by LCD and plasma panels, which can be easily placed on a cabinet or hung on a wall.

This looks original and gives the room a zest. It also saves space. Considering that a modern house or apartment is a storehouse of household appliances, the question is: “How to hide the wires from the TV decoratively?” is pretty sharp.

You should not get upset, the problem is completely solvable - designers offer a large number of options, in addition, you can show creativity and show a little imagination.

Ideas can be the most unexpected. Some of them require the possession of certain skills, for example, it can be masking wires using cable channels, using a skirting board with cable channels.

Others, on the contrary, require creativity and a flight of fancy, because they can be hidden beautifully. Consider how to decoratively hide the cable.

How to decoratively hide the wires from the TV

The easiest way is to decorate, with which the TV cable in the apartment can be hidden behind living plants, a closet, driftwood and curtains.

It is noteworthy, but you can disguise the cord without making it invisible. You can focus on it, turning it into a stylish element of decor. You can also use sockets for these purposes, special boxes, which can be of the most unexpected shape, color and made of different materials.

There are many ideas: it is enough to use improvised means, simple design techniques, you can creatively hide the cable from the TV.

• if the apartment is decorated in high-tech style, then a lot of cords and cables can be designed in the form of pipes, which are fixed on the wall with screws or planted on nails;
• if the space is designed in a loft style, then with the help of cable channels, it will be possible to create a stylish decor element if they resemble a layout of small bricks;
• classic style involves the use of wood trim, in this case, additional panels, as a masking of cables from the TV, will look very advantageous.

It should be noted that interesting ideas can lead to creative impulses, but you should not experiment on your own, especially if you do not have the appropriate skills.

If you resort to the help of specialists, they will not only do the job efficiently and quickly, but no traces will be noticeable on the floor and wall.

If a person has creative thinking, then he himself will come up with not only a way to hide a television cable, but also select devices for laying.

If the wires are long enough, then you can hide them by laying them out on the wall in the form of an image of a certain subject. The main thing is to stick to a certain scheme. To do this, a sketch is first applied to the wall, which allows you to start masking the cable.

1. Particularly noteworthy is the ability to hide the wiring in the floor. The approach has a number of advantages, including the safety and integrity of the wires;
2. If there are ornaments or unpretentious patterns on the wall of a rather complex shape and the cords are inappropriate or they are of insufficient length, then you can consider the option with the original edging. If we talk, for example, about a children's room, then you can use stickers or voluminous applications in the form of funny little animals;
3. If the option to use applications and stickers seems inappropriate, then you can hide the cord from the TV very simply: covering it with an ikebana or other flower arrangement that harmoniously complements the interior;
4. Many simply wrap the wires from the TV around a lamp located nearby. A stylish decor element used in this solution is a garland or decorative thread.

Deciding to hide the cord from the TV, you must remember that the integrity of the shell must be preserved.

If the room has been renovated and there is no desire to “spoil” the walls, you can originally hide the cables from the TV on its surface, “hooking” the ceilings, since there may be the necessary conclusions.

You can make a camouflage box yourself using improvised materials.

You can mask the cable from the TV using a wall headset. If its structural elements can be added by a constructor, then such a variation of the solution to the problem will be the most profitable and uncomplicated.

Since the branches of the cords can be hidden behind the furniture structure itself.

How to hide a TV in the interior

How can I decoratively hide the TV in the interior of the apartment? Many people manage this task on their own.

Drawing a picture of wires on the wall, provided they are of sufficient length, will be the highlight of your interior.


The use of applications and stickers will delight the child.


The use of decorated boxes will add originality and a touch of creativity.


Using a wall headset is a great opportunity to solve the problem with television cables.

It is important to understand that a TV is not only a screen. A huge number of different devices are connected to the TV device: speakers, subwoofer, laptop, receiver, etc. Add to this the power cord and antenna cable. It is not surprising that all users have a question, how to hide the wires from the TV on the wall, in the floor or decorate them?

Now let's look at 5 main ways to mask all the cords. Let's determine where it is better to hide the wires. Here are real examples with photographs that confirm that it is really possible to hide all communications.

into the wall

Hiding the cables is not difficult. Especially considering the fact that the disguise of various communications is a real trend in the world of interior design. Very often you have to pull the antenna cable through the entire apartment. This breaks the aesthetic picture. Therefore, new ideas on how to hide the wires from the TV will come in handy more than ever.

Remember that the antenna cable is not the only wire that connects to the TV device. Keep in mind that you also need to mask the power cord. Many owners of modern technology connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN connector. Add to this the HDMI cable used to connect additional devices.

To solve this problem, use floor skirting boards with cable channels. They allow you to hide the wires. What to do if the TV hangs on the wall? You will have to pull the cables out of the plinth to bring them to the TV. It is clear that such a solution can hardly be called optimal. Therefore, it is wiser to hide communications in the wall.

What is the easiest way out of this situation? Bundle the wires using nylon ties. Try to somehow disguise the cords. It is absolutely impossible to call this method ideal, but it has the right to life.

A fundamental, but very time-consuming solution is laying wires in strobes. You need to make special holes during the repair. Do not forget to equip the outlet for the TV on the wall. This is the most accurate and technological way. None of the guests will accidentally touch the wires. Also, the cords will be out of the reach of pets. All wires are displayed in a single console, which contains the necessary connectors.

To route wires along the strobes, it is not at all necessary to hammer the entire wall. Pull them up to the baseboard, and then hide them in it. The main disadvantage of this method is that it is suitable only for those owners of TV equipment who carry out repairs in their house or apartment.

How to hide wires in the wall under the TV if you have just finished finishing? The best solution is to decorate the cords, but we'll talk about this a little later. Now let's analyze how to hide communications for the TV on the wall.

To begin with, carefully consider where exactly the TV will be located. Mark the location of the device on the wall. The second stage is the choice of the bracket. This aspect is of great importance. Despite the global VESA standard, which includes the most popular mounting points, the brackets themselves come in different shapes and sizes.

Think carefully about which type of bracket is best to choose. If the mount is too massive, it will interfere with switching. An incorrectly selected bracket size will cause the wires to fall out from behind the TV screen.

To make accurate measurements, you must first buy a TV. When the device is in your home, measure the dimensions, and then buy a special bracket. Try on the mount to the TV, measure the distance left to the edges - at this distance you need to make sockets.

The measurements taken must be transferred to the wall, and then you can get to work. Using a grinder, 2 vertical stripes are cut in the wall. Their depth should be literally a few centimeters. The distance between the stripes is no more than three centimeters.

Using a perforator, the inside is hollowed out. This allows you to create full-fledged strobes. Make several holes using diamond core bits. They will have outlets. All the necessary outputs should be located here: power supply, cable for the antenna. Consider how many power outlets you will need. It depends on the amount of equipment connected to the TV.

This completes the hardest part. Lay all the cords in the strobes made. Previously, all wires are fastened with plastic brackets. If this is not done, then they will constantly fall out, interfering with the subsequent wall decoration.

The ends of the wires must be connected according to the appropriate scheme with a socket. Then it must be installed in a specially designated place. Strobes should be sealed with gypsum plaster. The last stage is finishing. Install the bracket and also fix the TV on it. Connect all wires to TV.

To the floor

The second way is to hide the cords under the floor. Today, in hardware stores, you can easily buy special skirting boards equipped with a niche for cable masking. You just need to remove the outer panel, and then remove the wires into this space. Then put the panel back.

The main advantage of this option is efficiency, cleanliness, simplicity. Work takes a minimum of free time. To close the cords under the plinth, you do not have to gouge anything. No dirt, etc. Antenna and Internet cables can be placed under the plinth. With their help, other communications are also masked.

The antenna cable at the TV can be hidden on the floor, or rather under it. How can I do that? Take a puncher, and then make holes in the floor, which in fact will be intended for wires. Using the corrugation, make a protective layer, and then you can lay the cords.

When the installation is complete, level the floor using a mortar of sand and cement. If the apartment has a wooden floor, then you will need to dismantle the boards and place the wires in a metal tube.

in cable channel

A special box also allows you to hide the wires. However, this is a less aesthetic option. The user can make a cable channel on his own or buy it ready-made in a store. Hiding wiring in a box is much easier and faster than making special holes in the floor.

Having carefully studied the assortment of special stores, we come to the conclusion that several types of cable channels are offered to users. The easiest option is PVC boxes. We saw them all. This is an ordinary cable channel made of plastic. Most often they are found in white. The removable lid is held on by latches.

Is it possible to harmoniously fit a PVC box into the interior? This is possible, but only on condition that the color of the cable channel matches the interior palette of the room. It is important that it does not merge with the interior, but at the same time it does not look too catchy.

Perhaps the rarest option is models made of MDF. Such boxes will harmoniously fit into the classic interior, in which there is wooden furniture and various interior items.

Metal cable channels are made mainly of aluminum. This product looks really impressive. The box will harmoniously fit into a futuristic interior.

In structure, all of the models listed above are very similar. They are fixed to the wall with special dowels or glue. Connections together with cords are hidden under a decorative overlay.

Sometimes it is much easier to make a cable channel yourself than to look for a suitable option in stores. The quality of the product and its appearance directly depends on your skills and abilities. The type of material used is also important. Working with PVC is much easier than with metals.

Do you want something original and non-standard? You can make a cable channel from planed boards. The wires will be located between them. From above, the wires will be covered with a decorative overlay. As for the boards, they can also be painted in any color. What will make them not stand out from the overall picture of the interior.

Under furniture

Mostly we hide the wires behind the TV. It is clear that if you look closely, then all the cords will be noticeable. However, today you can buy special furniture that allows you to hide all communications.

To a greater extent, we are talking about TV cabinets. They are equipped with special holes in which wires can be placed. It is very comfortable. Not to mention the fact that the cables will not be visible, respectively, will not violate the interior design. Special headsets, which have a zone designed for installing a TV, also allow you to hide the wires.

Cable as an interior detail

Perhaps the easiest way is to decorate the wires beautifully. You can hide the cords behind living or artificial plants, original snags, curtains. To mask the wires, it is not necessary to make them invisible. Communications can be turned into an element of decor.

To decoratively "beat" the cables, you need to consider the style of the interior. Consider the most popular trends in design, as well as specific recommendations from professionals:

• Loft - use special channels, presented in the form of laying out small bricks;
• Classic interior - use additional wooden panels to mask the wires;
• Hi-tech - you can hide the cords in metal pipes, fix them on the wall with screws.

To achieve an impressive result, entrust this work to professionals. Not everyone has the right skills. Experts with experience in carrying out such work will be able to do everything efficiently and quickly.

If creative thinking is developed at the proper level, then you can do the decoration yourself. It is not necessary to buy additional expensive materials. Improvised funds will be more than enough. The method chosen must match the decor.

For example, if the length of the wires allows, then you can make a drawing or a geometric figure out of them on the wall. The main thing is that your composition harmoniously fits into the design of the room. First you need to make a sketch of the future drawing with a simple pencil. When the pattern is applied to the surface, you can decorate the wall with cables.

The method of fixing the wires is another very important point that needs to be considered in advance. For example, nails are absolutely not suitable for us, as they will damage the cord. It is better to choose tape or glue. This way of decorating is a very simple masking of cables.

What to do if the patterns and all kinds of ornaments do not fit into the interior or the wires are too short? Use additional piping to turn a regular cord into a decorative element. This method is especially relevant when it comes to children. You can use all sorts of stickers to hide the cables and keep the interior intact.
