Tangled electrical cables behind your TV create clutter and detract from your space.
Want a clean, professional look? Our expert-recommended DIY trick uses a simple shoebox to conceal cables, power strips, and extension cords discreetly.
It's affordable, straightforward, and delivers impressive results—perfect for any home setup.
1. Grab an old shoebox.
2. Remove the lid. On the two width sides, cut a 10 cm deep notch, about 2 cm wide, for the cables to pass through.
3. Place your power strip inside the shoebox and pull the cables as taut as possible.
4. Roll up the excess cable length and tuck it into the box. This keeps wires aligned along the edges, minimizing visibility, while hiding the surplus neatly.
Secure with the lid for a tidy finish.
5. Add flair by covering with decorative paper or paint—or simply tuck behind your TV stand.
Your electrical cables are now hidden and out of sight! :-)
