Having a good audio effect at home is such an intensely pleasurable experience. For this, you should have speakers with the best audio effect. But all those speaker wires lying on the floor are such a mess. What if we say that we have a solution for this? Today, we will tell you some different and exciting ways to hide your speaker wires. There are many ways to hide them; even you can hide them with the home décor. Some of them are easy, and for some techniques, you need time and money; this will depend on your need and want. But today, we will tell you some easy and affordable ways to hide them. They can be less noticeable and will look good.

Hide On Wall

Your speaker wires are traveling through your wall? You can fix this by painting your wall. Tools:

• Cable staples
• Zip ties
• Paintbrush
• Paint

Time: 2 hours Step1: The first step is to tie your speaker wires wherever you want to put staples on them. Instead of stapling them directly, put zip ties to avoid damage to the wires. Step2: After tying all the wires, staple them on the wall with the help of cable stapes. And take care of the damage. Step3: After attaching wires to the wall, take out the paint(paint should be the same as your wall color) and apply paint to the wires. This will make all the wires less noticeable.

Hide On The floor

For this procedure, you need a blanket floor cord with you. With this, you can easily hide your speakers. Also, it is suitable for long wires. Tools:

• A cable blanket floor cord

Time: 1hour Step1: Take your blanket floor cord, measure its length, mark how much you need, and then cut it. Step2: There will be two tapes attached on two sides of the blanket floor cord( left and right). Peel one side of it, place it on the floor and apply pressure. Step3: Now, take off your wires and place them inside the blanket floor cord. Make sure it should go all inside. Step4: After this, peel the second side and place it on the floor; now apply pressure. You are done!

Hide On hardwood floors

For this, you can use a plastic cable raceway. It will look organized and clean after fixing. Tool:

• Plastic raceway cord

Step1: First, you have to take that plastic cable raceway and measure the length you need. After measuring it cut it. Step2: There will be a plastic covering over the cable raceway. Remove it slightly and open one side of the plastic runway. Step3: Now place it wherever you want to fix it (you can only place it on corners of the floor). Now put those wires inside the raceway and then close it. Step4: Now you can see you have got some plastic edge holder of the raceway. These are used to connect and hold the raceway property. Fix it on the edges of two cable raceway cords. And you are done!

Hide Under The Carpet

If you have carpet flooring, this technique could be easy for you. Usually, carpet flooring contains baseboards. Baseboards are something which is used to make space for carpeting. Step1: The first step is to take a small section of your wires, then try to push between the baseboard and carpet with your fingers. Try to do it with your fingers, but if it seems complicated, make a gap between them with the help of a screwdriver and try to tuck in the wires. Step2: If all this procedure is going well, then take all the wires (do not connect to the terminals), remove a small portion of the carpet and make a gap between the baseboard and carpet with the help of a plier. Step3: Now, push back all the wires into the gap and take care of your fingers. Step4: After this, put the carpet back in its place once the wires are correctly hidden and plug in the wires to their terminals.

Hide For Surround Sound

Tools:

• Paint
• Paintbrush
• Cable tape

Time: 1 hour If we talk about surround wire hiding, there are a lot of ideas to hide them. Since you have a problem with a wired speaker, let’s talk about it. Today we are going to hide or conceal it with tapes. You can fix it with wire clips, you can also try any above tutorials, or you can also go for wireless. These are cheaper and are easy to use also. Step1: Take out cable tape and take out the wires also. We are going to hide them on the wall. So place the wires on the wall. You can take the help of zip ties to hold the wires. Step2: After placing them correctly, place tape on the wires. Do it carefully so that you can cover all the areas. Step3: Now, to hide the tape apply paint on it. It should match your wall.

Best Practices To Be Followed

Make use of the existing decor in the room. If you have posters or other artwork on the walls, speaker wires can be routed behind them to surround speakers. For this purpose, one of our colleagues uses foam fingers from sporting events.

• Attach speaker wires to the room’s baseboards with cable clips with integrated nails. The cords are not completely hidden in this situation, but they are absolutely out of the way.
• If the area has wall-to-wall carpeting, the wires can be tucked between the carpet and the baseboards, making them almost undetectable.
• Use light strips to your advantage. If your room has light strips, you can run speaker wires across them to make them unnoticeable.
• Run the cables beneath throw rugs or even the room’s carpet. The most OK cables for this are flat cables like Sewell Ghost Wire.
• Connect the speakers to the wall with a speaker cable. 
• Sewell Ghost Wire, for example, has an adhesive on one side that allows you to attach it to baseboards or even up a wall. 
• You can even paint it any color to have it fit in, therefore making it undetectable. 
• Use raceways or conduits that have been painted. 
• Long cable conduits, ducts, and raceways are manufactured by several companies and are used to conceal wires in hollow structures installed along baseboards or at corners where walls meet. 
• They can even be painted to match the wall color and run up the center of a wall to surround speakers. 
• Surface raceways from CableOrganizer and the Wiremold CornerMate Cord Organizer are two examples.
• Use crown molding or architectural details to your advantage. 
• If you plan to place a crown or baseboard molding in the room, you can obtain hollow moldings that allow cables to be routed through them, making the cables completely inconspicuous. 
• The company also designs crown molding.
