<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMolding to install wires along the baseboard<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best way to hide speaker wires under baseboards may require some labor and some tools. Most importantly, a utility knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, break the top seal paint to access the baseboard. Using a utility knife or a razor, run along the seal to detach it between the wall and the baseboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you break the seal, remove the base moldings to determine where you plan to run the speaker wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Begin with the first stud<\/a> while carefully handling the moldings as you avoid cracking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep removing the moldings until you reach the last stud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the baseboards aside and label them in the correct order you removed them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use sticky notes to attach their numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this stage, you will work with two choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One is putting the wires in the space between the baseboard and the hardwood flooring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second option is customizing a channel between the moldings and the wall where you will place the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or acquire moldings that have channels through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuck the wires in the moldings without any obstacles obscuring their passway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reinstall the moldings while following the sequence you removed so that they can fit perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n
Solution 3: Camouflage with paint<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"Man](\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-56-jpg.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMan painting walls. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPainting is a budget-friendly way to hide exposed audio wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You require some paint<\/a> that matches the room color, a paintbrush, and some of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the speakers are wall-mounted, paint the speaker wires with the color of the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by arranging and organizing the speaker wires using cable or zip ties<\/a> according to their route.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUse hooks and screws to attach the wires to the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, find a paint sample that matches the walls and camouflage the cables using a paintbrush over the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you change the room colors, hiding the cables is also possible by painting them with the new color.<\/p>\n\n\n
Solution 4: Hardwood floors<\/h2>\n\n\n![\"Set](\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-39-jpg.webp\")

They are cost-friendly and come in packs of 100 or more; therefore, you only need to spend a little money to hide your speaker wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using cable clips, determine where to start running the speaker wires and where they need to end. Measure that distance and ensure the wire is long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that you place them evenly and they are at a uniform height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thread the wire through the cable clips. Start at one end while threading the wire through each of them while following your determined route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that each wire is taught and straight as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you put the cable clips in place, you may paint them to match the wall or use a wire cover to hide the wires. <\/p>\n\n\n
Solution 6: Cover with adhesive vinyl roll<\/h2>\n\n\n
An adhesive vinyl roll is a thin, flexible, and self-adhesive material that is versatile and suitable for hiding audio cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by measuring the speaker wire length you want to cover and add a few extra inches to ensure you have enough vinyl to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut the adhesive vinyl roll while ensuring it is wide enough to cover the wire completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peel the back of the vinyl roll to expose the adhesive side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting at one end, place the sticky side of the vinyl roll around the audio cable<\/a> and wrap it against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSmooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles using a squeegee<\/a> or credit card while wrapping around the wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContinue wrapping the vinyl roll around the wire while slightly overlapping each wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon reaching the wire’s end, use scissors or a utility knife to trim the vinyl to the desired length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If necessary, use a heat gun or hair drier to make it conform to the wire more tightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your wires should completely disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may paint over the vinyl roll to hide it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n
Solution 7: Use a ghost wire<\/h2>\n\n\n
Ghost wires are adhesive speaker wires that can stick on flat surfaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start at one end while threading the wire through each of them while following your determined route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure that each wire is taught and straight as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you put the cable clips in place, you may paint them to match the wall or use a wire cover to hide the wires. <\/p>\n\n\n An adhesive vinyl roll is a thin, flexible, and self-adhesive material that is versatile and suitable for hiding audio cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by measuring the speaker wire length you want to cover and add a few extra inches to ensure you have enough vinyl to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut the adhesive vinyl roll while ensuring it is wide enough to cover the wire completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peel the back of the vinyl roll to expose the adhesive side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting at one end, place the sticky side of the vinyl roll around the audio cable<\/a> and wrap it against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles using a squeegee<\/a> or credit card while wrapping around the wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue wrapping the vinyl roll around the wire while slightly overlapping each wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon reaching the wire’s end, use scissors or a utility knife to trim the vinyl to the desired length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If necessary, use a heat gun or hair drier to make it conform to the wire more tightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your wires should completely disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may paint over the vinyl roll to hide it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n Ghost wires are adhesive speaker wires that can stick on flat surfaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It resembles a wide thin piece of tape that sticks on walls and features a peelable conductive side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ghost Wire 2.0 is the best adhesive speaker wire on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes in white; therefore, you can paint it to disappear completely. You can hide it on the wall or floor at home due to its thin characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To install the ghost wires, you need a pair of scissors, a utility knife, and a screwdriver to fasten the connectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The following are the steps you should follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Begin by measuring the distance from your speakers to the audio receiver to determine the length of the ghost you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut the ghost wire to the desired length using scissors or a utility knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strip off the protective covering on both ends of the ghost wire to expose the conductive side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Run the ghost wire along the wall, baseboards, or other surfaces while pressing the adhesive tape to secure it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect the ends of the wire using the appropriate connectors. <\/p>\n\n\n Running wires on cable ties along a wall<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the advantages of using cable organizers is their ease of installation, and you can remove and reposition them as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cable organizers are also a great way to reduce clutter and organize your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the best way to hide speaker wires when using cable organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most speaker hiding techniques, first, determine what path you want your speaker wires to take from your audio receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose the cable organizers you want, such as raceways, cord covers, and cable ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attach the cable organizers to the wall while spacing them to ensure they are level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Route the speaker wires through the cable organizers, ensuring no twisting or kinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use zip and cable ties to secure speaker wires to the cable organizers while ensuring the wires are tight but not too tight to damage them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trim excess zip ties using cable cutters or scissors. Enjoy a neat setup.<\/p>\n\n\n If you have LED light strips<\/a>, they can help you hide speaker wires alongside them. The light strips differ in length. Therefore, you can use long ones for long cables to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can fix the light strips on the wall using adhesive tape or other mounting accessories such as wire hooks or clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hang the wires behind the LED strips while fastening them using the hooks.<\/p>\n\n\n Pulling wires through a hole in a drywall<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When installing speaker wires in drywall, choose what route the wire will take from the speaker to the receiver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure there is space inside the walls to accommodate the audio cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a stud finder to locate any studs, pipes, or electric wires in the drywall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make necessary adjustments to your path to avoid obstacles. Learn how to locate electrical wires here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut a hole in the drywall where you will place the speakers. Use a drywall saw to make the holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fish the wire through the hole you have created, using a fish tape or wire snake to guide it through the drywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pull the wire through the other side of the wall and run it inside the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you reach the receiver’s location, cut another hole in the drywall and fish the wire through the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, connect the wires to the speakers and audio receivers with the appropriate connectors.<\/p>\n\n\nSolution 2: Baseboards<\/h2>\n\n\n
