Basically, I took measurements, cut the piece to size, and painted it the same color as the wall. Sarah actually did a tutorial for this earlier in the year- see that here. It came with an easy tear off strip and stuck right to the wall. I also purchased a new cord casing from Amazon. I unhooked each one and measured the lengths of each cord to see if there were any we could replace with shorter cords…and there were! A quick look up on Amazon and a Prime order later, I was on my way to cleaning up the clutter.
#Diy cord cover wall tv
There were probably about ten cords coming from the TV and electronics- many of which were way longer than they needed to be. So what was the solution? First, I removed the old tubing that was hiding the cords. Next, we have an image that was taken this summer right after I ripped it all apart – I was seriously SO tired of looking at the media tower! Also…why on earth, in the tech-savy time period we’re living in, is there not totally wireless technology? Am I the only one confused by this? That was my first attempt at hiding cords, storing ugly electronics and styling around it all ( if you can even call it that…yuck). Today I’m going to share some of the challenges I encountered with this space, the cords, and how I decided to work around them, making the most of a less thanfavorable design dilemma.Įvery good project begins with terrible before photos… am I right? I apologize for the Christmas decor, but wanted to show you what our mantle looked like about six months after we moved in. However, I know sometimes ( like in our case) it is unavoidable. I’m typically not into the idea of installing a TV above a fireplace – I think the TV is such an eyesore and would much rather style a mantle than hang a TV above it.
#Diy cord cover wall windows
Two of the walls in this room have large windows and the other wall houses both a closet and bathroom door. As you can see from the image above, our TV is hung above our marble fireplace ( not by choice, but rather, it is the only option in this room). Hey guys…Jacqueline here! Do you ever have those spaces in your home that you absolutely hate and can’t seem to work around? The mantle in our living room is one of those spaces.
