How to Hide Cables in a Smart Apartment

How to Hide Cables in a Smart Apartment

Technological advances are happening on a daily basis.  This leads to an increasing number of gadgets being used in the home, and as a result, there are cables for these devices everywhere.  Having all these cables bunched up and out in the open can be a major eyesore, but as you will learn, it is possible to keep all your gadgets without having to sacrifice the visual appeal of your space. The first step is to connect all of your devices.  Next, measure your wall and cut your cord cover base (which keeps your cables organized) to size and use anchors, screws or an adhesive to secure to your wall.  Afterwards, straighten your cables and gather them together to run through the cord cover base, and once complete, snap the front cover onto the cord cover base.  The final step is to paint the cord cover base and molding to match the color of your walls.  An important point for renters: there are many landlords who would not allow the invasive installation of mounting and cutting holes.  So be sure to contact your community managers before taking on this project! Take back your space!  Keep the cords organized and enjoy all of your gadgets in a clean and organized environment.
