hiding cables around walls, best way?

My place is pretty hard to do this. As the walls are solid and the floor is tiled. Iam pretty screwed when i have to go over my hllway. A runner hides most of it but not all. I suppose some same colored tape would fix that.


But the wires on the floor arround the wall seems to be the best chance of fixing how would i go about hiding them ?

Thanks.

Just want to make it look alittle more tidy than it looks.

Bye.

What wires are you trying to hide, is it just speaker cable or does it include other wires?

Pretty much just speaker wire. Normal wire and coax as well. Left side Areial and phone wire to



Just looks untidy the way it is.

I've had the same problem, what I've done is bought some artificial skirting to replace the old. doing so you can put all the wires inside, looks good but not all that cheep. £12 a length !!

Find a short run of the existing skirting and prise it off the wall. Depending on your type of flooring you may find an expansion gap around the edge of the flooring that'll suit you needs.
