Can you show us your current setup? It is hard to give suggestions without seeing what you have to work with. For example, I have a maze of cords that lead from my router to my TV that are taped to the wall and covered with a painting. It is not a perfect solution but it is good enough for my situation. Obviously hiring a professional is the easiest alternative, as Jan suggested. If that is not in your budget you might need more creative solutions.

My cables, wifi, modem , router DVR etc are all in a closet. Worth the money to have a pro set it up.

We built a new house and all the electronics, including routers and cable boxes, are in a walk-in closet.

You need a audio/ visual pro to get what you need . We all have different needs for this stuff. It is best in a space designated and then as much as possible wireless but each persons needs are different.

There is absolutely no need to have a cable box, DVR or repeater anymore. Streaming has replaced all that. A smart TV needs a plug, that's it. Well, if you use a Samsung frame TV (and you should) you will need a place to hide the Samsung box. I put alcoves with plugs, cat6 and an adjustable arm in my rooms. I'm waiting to get the wood frame for the TV until I officially furnish the place.

Thank you all for your comments - I live in a small rented apt in NY - no basement, closet space.... I was thinking about getting a cabinet with cane doors to hid all the components. I don't think I need to pay an electrician to "organize" my space. And yes, I am going to get rid of the cable box since I also subscribed to a million streaming sites!! I also finally invested in a smart TV and can now also get rid of my Roku. My main concern is the "spagetti" mess (all the cords and cables). My smart TV comes with connect box (which is bigger than the cable box). I've included a couple of pics: one shows the cable box, on top of it is the router, on the small shelf is the connect box for the smart TV. The second pic is the back of my cabinet, which is where my modem lives with spagetti central.

We also live in an apartment without plentiful closets. We have a small TV console with cabinets so we hide the cables behind that and place the boxes and routers in the cabinet and drawers. To hide the unsightly extension cords and power strips, we got these:

My low tech solution. It might not work for many people but it is good enough for what I need.

LOL at first I though it was artwork! Very clever @ilikefriday!

You are right. It does look like a link meant to steal information from your computer. FLAG.

Dealing with the chaos of electronic components and cables can be a real headache, but fear not – there are some tricks to tame the mess! One handy solution is investing in cable management accessories like cable sleeves, clips, or even a cable box to hide away the clutter. You can also use color-coded labels or tags to easily identify each cord and avoid confusion. Additionally, consider arranging your devices in a dedicated entertainment center or shelving unit with built-in cable management features.
