Wall-mounting your TV is a great way to create a modern, stylish living space. But there’s one problem that often ruins the clean look — messy dangling cables. Luckily, there are several hidden cable solutions to make your setup look neat and professional.
1. Cable Trunking
Cable trunking is the most common and affordable option. A slim plastic channel runs down the wall to conceal wires.
- Pros: Cheap, quick to install, paintable to match walls.
- Cons: Visible if you look closely.
2. In-Wall Cable Concealment
For a premium finish, cables can be hidden inside the wall itself. This usually involves chasing out the plasterboard or brickwork, running the cables through, and patching over.
- Pros: Completely hidden, seamless look.
- Cons: More expensive, requires professional installation.
3. Power Outlet Behind the TV
Another option is installing a power outlet directly behind the TV. This way, you only need to hide HDMI and aerial cables — which can also be routed inside the wall.
- Pros: Super clean finish, reduces visible wires.
- Cons: Requires a qualified electrician for power work.
4. Wireless Streaming Devices
If you use devices like Fire Stick, Chromecast, or Apple TV, you can reduce the number of cables altogether. Paired with WiFi, it means fewer visible connections.
Why Use a Handyman for Hidden Cable Solutions?
A local handyman can:
- Advise on the best method for your home
- Supply and fit cable trunking neatly
- Work alongside an electrician if a new socket is needed
- Ensure your TV wall mount looks tidy and secure
