Paintable Option to Cover Cords or Cables (damage free)

Are you searching for how to cover or hide cords or cables? I’ve found a paintable cord cover that is easy to install and won’t damage walls.

Yes, I found the most amazing way to cover cords and cables!

My main goal was to hide wall sconce cords and in my search found a paintable option that blends right into the wall. Cool, huh?

Then the home hack I found for installing the cord cover won’t damage walls either. A pretty perfect solution!

The cord cover I found and the way I teach you to install it can be used for all sorts of annoying cord situations:

• Hiding wires for a mounted TV
• Hiding cord running down a mantel
• Hiding cables along a floor
• Hiding and covering electrical and extension cords
• Covering cords hanging down a wall
• Covering and hiding wall sconce cords
• Hiding cords and cables in an office

I’m going to share how to install these paintable cord covers to hide a dangling cord on a wall sconce.

Once the cover is painted, it blends right into the wall! The cool part is these cord covers have attachments so you can bend or turn the cords too.

If you have a cord running from a mounted TV, you can run the cover down from the TV and then turn it to run alongside the mantel and then down to the floor. COOL!

Each kit comes with lots of attachment brackets to connect the cord covers together and create long lengths if you need to extend the length of a room or down the corner of a wall.

The best part is you can paint the cord cover and brackets to match the walls!

It took only a few minutes to paint the cord covers and I applied 2 coats just 30 minutes apart.

Types and Sizes of Paintable Cord and Cable Covers

Since I used the smaller size of paintable cord cover in the installation tutorial, I wanted to show you all of the different sizes that are available.

There are cord covers for all different types of cord and cable situations and even one that tucks into a corner.

If you are a renter, these are ideal if you install the way I show you because they are removable and won’t damage the walls (don’t use the tape included in the kit).

Seriously, there is an option to hide, organize and cover every type of cord or cable in your home.

• Corner and Cable Cord Cover
  • Use this option to tuck into a corner along the floor or wall
• Large Cord and Cable Cover
  • Have a ton of electronic, computer, or TV cords this will hold them all.
• Medium Cord and Cable Cover
  • This is ideal covering and hiding extension cords and cables
• XL Cord and Cable Cover
  • Ideal for mounted TVs to hide the cords and cables running down the wall.
• Small Cord or Cable Cover
  • Great to cover cords that hang down a wall or to organize and cover a single cord down the leg of a desk or table.

Something I need to be very CLEAR about is that the approach I take to mounting the back plate to the wall will likely only work for the medium to small cord and cable covers.

You can experiment with seeing if it will hold on the larger sizes because the adhesive I recommend is MOVABLE and won’t damage your walls.

Now onto the tutorial!
