Tangled TV cables and other electronics cords are the enemy of an organized home and can easily ruin the neat and tiny aesthetic in your home. But all hope is not lost. There are inexpensive, easy solutions for hiding and managing those cords.

Here are 7 creative ideas to hide your TV and electronics cords for a calm, organized entertainment space.

1 Hide TV cords in a pretty storage box

Explore cable management box options

Simple storage boxes with an opening at the back are the easiest solution to disguise that tangle mess of cords. For this setup, we used leather-like boxes that had a plastic window on one side.

We simply removed the plastic from the window, stuck a power strip inside, and fed all the cables through the hole to plug them in. The box hides all the excess cord inside.

If this DIY cord box isn't your style, you can purchase cable box organizers made just for this purpose. You will surely find one that will match your decor.

2 Cover cords with wall-mounted cable covers

Explore cord cover options

If your TV cord is hanging down the wall, you can easily cover it with a cable cover. This handy channel attaches to the wall and hides those pesky cords inside, and is an especially handy solution for renters who can't put a hole in your wall to run the cords through.

To further camouflage the cover, get a paintable cord cover and paint it the same color as your wall. It will blend seamlessly into your decor!

3 Try baseboard raceways to run cords neatly to an outlet

Explore cable raceway options

If your outlet is far away from your television or other electronic device, use a baseboard raceway to disguise that cord along the way.

Attach these raceways just above your baseboard with adhesive backing and feed the cord through. They are usually made out of plastic so you can cut them to the size you need.

Choose paintable raceways and make them the same color as your baseboards. No one will ever know they are there!

5 Hang your power strip up off the floor

Sometimes, getting rid of cable clutter is as easy as just elevating all of your cords behind a piece of furniture. This technique just requires a few Command Hooks and strips to hang the cables neatly behind a piece of furniture, out of sight.

This clever cable-hiding trick is a great option for renters who can't permanently attach a power strip to the wall.

6 Toss cables into an open-weave basket

Open-weave baskets are a great way to hide lots of cords and electronics. You can insert the cord through the weave at any height, and if your basket has a lid, it's even better at hiding the mess.

7 Add cord labels for clarity and organization

Explore cord label options

Before bundling or hiding your cables or tucking them into a small space, first use cord labels to identify each cord. This will save you time and frustration when you eventually need to rearrange or troubleshoot your entertainment setup.
