Be honest: does this look bad and messy?
Just recently mounted our tv and realized that the cable was going to be very visible and I didn’t like that. I also didn’t like the idea of putting those white covers over it because I knew the white was going to stand out even more, so that was definitely a no. I know that for that last problem people just paint over it, but as I’m renting 1. I’m not trying to put more holes in the walls/glue anything 2. I’d have to move way too many things out of the way (including the tv) just to paint that wall so some cable is not visible? I don’t think it’s worth it. I found out that I could “hide” the cables with some garlands, and loved the nature idea because of how well it goes with that shade of brown wood!
After covering just the cables I did not like how it looked like two random vines coming out of the tv? I thought that adding some more could make it more even and “intentional”. I didn’t want it to look so plain. I ended up liking it, but my mom says it look messy and says that “the less, the better”. I definitely can’t see what she means but I really don’t know if I’m having a blind moment here, because in her words, “who would hang those from a tv?? 😣”.
I think you can see the type of aesthetic I’m going for with the wood and nature-like features, I’m still not done decorating the living room at all, but wanted to take care of the tv cables that were driving me a little insane.
Is my mom right or does my vision make sense?
Any suggestions are accepted and appreciated!
