#Power cord cover wall Patch#
We did choose to affix the channel to the wall with screws (small holes are much easier to patch than the lager holes we’d need to run all the cords behind the wall.) However, this system could have definitely been hung with Large Command Strips to make it 100% renter-friendly. If we had some wall paint in the garage, we would have definitely given it a quick coat! After it was hung, we determined it blended enough and I didn’t need to seek out a paint sample just for this.
I specifically bought this version because it is paintable.
Before beginning, detach everything, put components where you want them, and untangle all the cords so they thread through the track nice and straight. Unplug Everything First. If it’s been a while since you setup your components, or you’ve added things over time, your cords are likely a jumbled mess (ours definitely were). The instructions do a great job walking you through it, but here’s a few tips and tricks we learned: This cord-concealing system is actually really user-friendly, and we had it installed in just about 30 minutes. Yet…even though we can (obviously) see the cord track, it’s a considerable improvement from the before pictures! After reading reviews and weighing options, I finally settled on this Cord Cover Kit as the best way to corral and contain the cord mess.Īgain, in a perfect world, we would have nothing in sight behind the television and console. But that type of project is beyond what we even consider as “renter-friendly,” so I went hunting for a more temporary option. In a someday, forever home, we would absolutely tunnel through the wall (like this) so the cords were 100% invisible. There was really no way to downplay the size and look of the speakers, but I knew we could clean up the cords to give the entire display a much cleaner appearance. When they arrived and he set them up, I couldn’t get over how big they were nor how obnoxious all the cords looked. Knowing how hard he works and how badly he wanted it…I agreed without even looking at the speakers he was considering. After being selected for promotion last the Fall, he asked if he could buy it. So for years now, Greg has had his eyes set on the sound bar and subwoofer set for our main television. We have long had SONOS speakers throughout our home, and absolutely love them. Lest you think everything in our home is picture perfect and I always achieve my style-before-function desires…let me point you to our ridiculously ugly speakers. What I didn’t anticipate is how terrible all the cords would look with the very open-leg style. I knew the dimensions, style and scale were spot on for our television, room, and various components. Unfortunately, that was NOT the case when I (somewhat) hastily jumped at this gorgeous navy console table while it was on sale last summer. Sometimes, I am really good about thinking through purchases and anticipating their domino effects once in place. So…we instead turned to some really easy, affordable and renter-friendly products to hide cords without drilling, and the results are fantastic! Let me show you! As renters, we don’t really want to tunnel through the walls just to hide our cords because that would be a fairly involved and significant patch job. The gorgeous navy console we picked worked wonders for the layout of the room, but it then left me with a horrible, unsightly mess of cords that were admittedly driving me crazy. The tighter layout meant we couldn’t use our beloved media cabinet to hold all of our speakers and components, so we had to instead find something with a much slimmer profile. One such situation in our current home is the narrow walkway leading from our kitchen into our family room. One thing I’ve mentioned over and over is that with each new home, we have unique decor and organizational situations to figure out.
