How to Hide Your TV Wires | EASY 

Before anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing attempts this, please understand he left out a lot of crucial information that may make it very difficult or impossible for you to do this. PLEASE READ before you cut holes in your wall. -in order to do this to code and have a wireless look you have to run romex behind the wall and install an outlet. Like he said, you can’t run a regular power cord through the wall. So unless you know how to fish romex and install a new outlet, you won’t be totally wireless or you’ll have to hire an electrician. -sometimes there is extra blocking in the wall that runs horizontally between the two studs, so if you have your pass through outlets above and below that blocking you won’t be able to actually fish the line through, unless you have some more specialized tools. A stud finder should be able to show you if this will be an issue, but just be aware.

Maybe I missed something, if you didn't run the power cables through the wall, wouldn't that mean your soundbar and TV's power cables will still be visible hanging down below the TV?

Great Job...Don't listen to others about putting the boxes on after feeding/threading the wires...The boxes have a channel that allows the wires to naturally pass through rather than falling further behind the cavity...You made it look so easy to do....Well Done!

Before you screw the cable plates into the wall,it’s easier to fish the wires through the exposed drywall

This just works in the US where the walls are made of paper. In other regions with a solid wall its nearly impossible to do stuff like this.

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

I will never do this myself. But I'm happy to see the idea & how it's done.

That transition is so satisfying

Just small part of the world has dry walls, the rest has concrete walls

Hello, thank you for your sharing. May I know the nails you've used for the TV wall mount on internal blockwork wall and the external wall built of brick? Thank you.

Our walls are made up of real concrete

Most power cords for things like tv's, game systems, and power strips are rated at a minimum of 75° C = 167F. Most new-ish cords are rated at 90° C = 194° f..... so ya, it's safe in almost every application.... unless you have a damn furnace in the wall the heat is a non issue. But warming people about electrical safety is always good 👍

Useful video good job with the b-roll, I've got to hide some cables in my house soon!

Have a question. I am planning to buy a similar ikea besta tv unit(the bottom one) , not sure whether it has slots/holes on back. The only addition is one vertical drawer(4 slots) on both left and right side of the TV unit. My TV would on the besta unit and not on the wall. My power outlet position is to the left and right of the vertical drawer at bottom. I am assuming since both the TV shelf and vertical drawers will be touching the wall for safety, and there will be a screw to attach to the wall. My question is, how will I able to connect a outlet surge protector from the left/right side of vertical drawer to go back to the central tv shelf, if everything is touching the wall? Is it possible to install the ikea besta unit and vertical drawers keeping a certain distance from wall?

Great cleaning job, everywhere is still very much dusty :)

Would also like to know how you dealt with power cords- looks awesome.

great job. you made it look easy.

I love the way all these men have opinions. You guys are amazing. Muchas Gracias Retired LA PD

He conveniently forget to plug in the tv cord to the socket which is below the sound bar.😀

There are many ways to hide cables, and this is one of them. But, yes, it will be very inconvenient if the TV position is moved. There will be a big hole. But, this is a good idea, really.

Great video… what would you recommend if the outlets aren’t in a straight line i.e. middle of the wall for the TV and bottom left of the wall for the outlets?

Looks ez enough thank you. But what about the power cord?

GREAT VIDEO!!! Do you have a link or name of faceplate use for routing the cables please 😊

I love the final look💯🤟. on concrete walls it would be such a pain☹

Well done.. I have used this trick in my home...

Had a question for you…The two draw strings underneath your tv that were dangling, how did you tuck them over to the right side behind your tv? Thanks!

Its way easier to run your cables before inserting the wall plates

So if you're saying you shouldn't hide power cables, yet it appears that you did, how do you hide the appearance of a power cable without passing those through the wall?

I would have installed a new electric outlet behind tv and if Space permits a flexible at the conduit from back of TV then below a close to the cable outlet . You could mount your centre speaker right below the tv and your components would be on or in the TV stand.

If you have a real wall, not just plasterboard ..... But the idea is great. More work but the result will compensate.

We use noggins on house frames here in Australia and although it adds strength and stability they can be a big pain. We can’t do things like this because there may be a noggin running horizontally and in the way.

So where exactly was the outlet for the tv and how was it plugged in?

If you like, you could use a grommet for the sound bar hole.

Another great video!

NICELY DONE ✔️ 👏 👍

Tanks man 👍😊

What did you do with the power cables? I missed it? I notice they are also gone but thought you said don't chase them. Thanks for the video!!

Beautiful 👏

What have you done about the power cable if you can’t run it through the wall?

How do you mean running standard power cable is dangerous? So where did you run your power cable for the TV and sound bar?

Looks fab

That's 600 euro saved THANK YOU

How then did you run your power wires since you said they will heat up

What are those hole/plate covers you used?

Easier: Don't mount the lower box. Just fish the walls to the larger opening FOR the lower box, then slip the wires through the box, then mount it.

Works only for cardboard walls.. Not the concrete ones

So where is the power cable?

Pull up I gotcha I need my mancave done like that 💯💯

i'm confused, if you arent running the power cable through that hole, where is the power cable of your tv at timecode 3:50 into this video?

This tv wire installation is missing a lot questions .How did you power your TV if you said it not good to put the power cord behind the wall. ?

Really EASY. can I use a kitchen knife to cut my wall? It's made by cement

my guy fr hit us with the wireless cabels hah

This is F*cking Amazing!!!! Thank You! Thank You! I noice I’m a year late!

Excellent!

Nice job

Nice tv stand, where can I get one from?

Hola amigo , apenas ví la Nintendo Switch , inmediatamente lleva tu sub jajaj , yo la barra de sonido la tengo a mis espaldas

Anything prevent u from using terms "concrete wall" as part of the search words??

Nice job... but how did you deal with the AC cable... after saying it shouldn't be run behind the wall ??

So, just to confirm, I shouldn’t run my TV power cord? I plan on running an Optical, AV, and 3 HDMI’s through. So how do I conceal the TV Cable if I shouldn’t send it through?

Because of room layout and acoustics I need to put my TV right in front of a small window. I don't mind putting cardboard to block out the sun completely. I have huge curtains expanding longer than the window itself. I don't want to hang the TV... But I don't think a regular TV stand would work good either do you have any ideas or possibilities options for me with my situation? It's the only place I can put the TV because of the layout in the room in the acoustics.

Did not see power cord for TV. How did conceal that?

Congrats!

Gorgeous...

You say you shouldn’t run a standard power cable thru the wall because they heat up but if I’m not mistaken didn’t you put the tv power cable thru the hole or am I missing something?

I hid my wiring for the telly, what i did was daisy chained the 240volt sockets and had new outlets behind the television….so now i have double the number of sockets…if sockets are fitted new at waist height you dont get unsightly wires to your TV..

Did you put power cord in there too? How to you power your TV?

I have two fire blocks in the wall, what kinda tubing is recommended to put the cables through? To make it easier to add cables in the future

Very nice.👍🏿🤙🏿

GREAT INFORMATION MATE. TOP MARKS INDEED 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂🙂🙂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So what do u do with the power cable then if you say it's not safe running it in the wall since it gets hot??

What speaker you are using for your tv

One million for his dog ❤

you said not to run power cord in the wall but wouldnt you have to run the soundbar power cord through the wall?

You forgot the outlet for tv power and made this job a lot harder than it had to be. Hopefully you can take constructive criticism…. Good vid

This comment section does not pass the vibe check. Great vid. What did you end up doing with your power cord?

Bonjour, Pourriez vous, svp, me communiquer les coordonnées où vous avez acheté votre tapis de salon. On ne voit qu'une petite partie, mais il l'air joli. merci.

What did you do for the subwoofer cable? Did you run it down the wall and out all the way to the subwoofer? So the coffee table is the item hidding that cable?

Damn what about people with concrete walls 😂

These only work with drywall. Can't do the same if it's a solid/brick wall. Wish there was an easier way than having to chase through the wall!

Where can one get a fish tape like the one you show in this video? I need to add a 4K hdmi to my parents TV and don’t have anything to help fish the cord up to the TV.

Eso es fácil hacerlo en Estados Unidos, ya que todas las paredes de sus casas son en madera, pero los que no vivimos en Estados Unidos tenemos paredes de concreto y ladrillo, no se puede hacer esto como un simple bricolaje casero.

What about the power cord for the TV? Where did you put it?

Much easier and less time-consuming to run your hdmi and other cables through the open wall areas and then into the faceplate before attaching them to the wall. This eliminates wasted time fishing those cables the way it was shown in this video.

could this solved solid concrete wall problem?

Only applicable in the US where everything is made out of card board boxes.

How do you power the sound bar and tv if you can't run power through the things you made?

Where did you put the power cords since its dangerous to run them through the wall?

Great idea but too bad not apply to concrete wall.

"Don't fish power cable through the wall, but check out this no-cable setup with magical wireless power!"

How high is the center of your TV from the floor?

5 months later and he still hasn't answered the power cable question...

Yes well done, but my walls are solid ,any ideas

Awesome

so funny to see walls that can be cut like that. thats so different to the way more solid walls we got here.

It is against the National Electrical Code to connect extension cord wiring or electrical cords through a hole or opening in a wall, inside a dropped ceiling or under flooring

In America it's easy because you don't know concrete. Here in Germany all walls are made of concrete. You have to decide beforehand what you want or rework it with a lot of effort and dirt. but the idea is great, no question.

I just painted the wall black to match the (black) color of the cords. I'll paint it back to original before I move to another place.

So how u hid power cable then I m confused if it heats up n illegal to run behind wall
