How to Hide TV Cables Without Cutting Into Your Wall
Why Hide Your TV Cables?
Visible wires ruin the clean look of a wall-mounted TV. But not everyone wants to drill holes or cut into drywall — especially renters or people with brick/plaster walls. Good news: you can still get a sleek, wire-free look without any demolition.
Here’s how.
🛠️ Use a Cable Raceway (Easiest & Cleanest)
A cable raceway is a sleek, paintable plastic channel that mounts to your wall to hide power and HDMI cables.
✅ Pros:
No cutting or drilling into drywall
Safe for renters
Easy to install and remove
Blends in with the wall (especially if painted)
🧰 What You’ll Need:
Adhesive-backed raceway kit (or screws)
Tape measure
Scissors or small saw
Paint (optional)
📋 Steps:
Measure your wall from TV to outlet.
Cut raceway to length.
Stick (or screw) the raceway to the wall.
Pop the cover off, insert cables, then snap shut.
Paint to match the wall if desired.
