How to Hide TV Cables: A Professional Guide for Homeowners

Achieve a Clean, Cable-Free TV Setup

Tired of a tangle of wires ruining your clean living room aesthetic? Whether you are in Florida or California, achieving a sleek, minimalist home theater setup is easier than you think. At AEON TV Wall Mounts, we specialize in professional-grade mounting solutions that prioritize both function and style.

Here is our expert guide on how to manage your cables, regardless of your wall type.

How to Hide TV Cables Without Cutting Wall

For renters or homeowners who prefer a non-invasive approach, you don’t need to cut into your drywall to hide your wires.

  • Use Paintable Cord Covers: Adhesive-backed cable raceways are the most popular “hide-in-plain-sight” solution. Once installed, you can paint them to match your wall color, effectively making them invisible.
  • Leverage Integrated Mounts: The easiest way to manage cables is to prevent them from dangling in the first place. Our Full-Motion TV Mounts are engineered with built-in cable management channels, allowing you to route cords directly through the arm of the mount for a clean, professional finish.

Best Ways to Hide TV Wires on Brick or Concrete

Solid surfaces like brick or concrete present unique challenges because you cannot fish wires through them.

  • Surface-Mounted Solutions: If you are mounting to a concrete or brick wall, use decorative, surface-mounted cable raceways.
  • Complete the Look: Pair these covers with our Low Profile Fixed TV Mounts. These models are designed to keep the TV profile low to the wall, minimizing the visible gap where wires connect, which is essential for maintaining that Scandi-style minimalist aesthetic you love.

How to Hide TV Cords on Entertainment Center

If your setup involves an entertainment center, the goal is to group cables together to eliminate visual clutter.

  • Utilize Cable Management Boxes: These boxes hide power strips and excess cable lengths, keeping your floors or console tops tidy.
  • Strategic Bundling: Use Velcro ties to bundle your HDMI and power cables together, then secure them to the back leg of your furniture.
  • Choose Equipment with Cable Control: When shopping for a new setup, prioritize hardware that helps you stay organized. Explore our full range of Premium TV Mounts, which are designed to support a clutter-free environment.

Can I mount this on 24-inch on-center wood studs?

The AEON-45200 model is specifically designed for 16-inch on-center wood studs and cannot be mounted directly to 24-inch studs.

If your walls have 24-inch on-center studs, you have two main options based on the sources:

  • Purchase the AEON-45250 Model: The manufacturer offers an alternative version of this mount, the AEON-45250, which features a wider 26-inch backplate specifically designed to safely span 24-inch on-center wood studs.
  • Use a DIY Wood Backing: If you already have the 16-inch AEON-45200 mount, you can bridge the 24-inch gap between your studs using sturdy wood. You can cut a thick piece of plywood or lumber (such as 2x4s or a 2×10) to span the distance, secure the wood into your 24-inch studs using lag screws, and then securely mount the AEON-45200 bracket directly onto the wood backing.

What tools are required for a wood stud installation?

For a wood stud installation of the TV mount, you will need the following tools:

  • Stud finder: An “edge-to-edge” stud finder is recommended to accurately locate the center of the wooden studs.
  • Standard drill: A regular drill is sufficient, whereas a hammer drill is only needed for concrete installations.
  • 1/4″ drill bit: This specific size is required for drilling pilot holes into wood studs.
  • 1/2″ socket wrench or bit driver: Required for tightening the wood screws/lag bolts.
  • Phillips screwdriver.
  • Level.
  • Tape measure.
  • Pencil.
