Home Entertainment Design Dilemma

So many wires...

8 years ago

What is the best suggestion for those of us who are renting and can't hide our wires in our walls. I love mounting my TVs and sound bars, but then there is always that ugly tail of wires. Yes, you can get those wire tubes and other similar options, but is there anything better?

Thanks in advance!

You could stand the TV on a console and hang the sound bar overhead. It's possible to keep just about everything hidden then...

Whenever I rented I just stood it on a console. Was never worth the hassle of hanging or dealing with wires.

I agree in a rental just stand on the console once you buy hang the T.V just above the console both ways all the wires are hidden and the T.V. is at the proper viewing height.
