Three Ways to Hide TV Cables
The best cable management approach depends on your wall type, whether you rent or own, and how clean a finish you want.
- In-wall routing — cables run inside the wall itself. Completely invisible from every angle. Requires chasing a channel into the plaster or plasterboard cavity.
- Surface trunking — a slim plastic channel fixed to the wall surface, cables inside. Clean, quick, and fully reversible. Ideal for rented properties.
- Recessed cable plates — flush-mounted sockets behind and below the TV. Cables internal, clean connection plates visible at each end. The tidiest surface result short of full in-wall routing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can cables be hidden in a rented property?
Yes — surface trunking is removable with no wall damage. It is the right solution for rental properties.
Can power cables go inside the wall?
Yes, though this requires an additional mains socket to be installed behind the TV. Our engineers advise on this option at the time of booking.
