Hello DK!

There are plenty of creative solutions that won't leave you with damaged walls. One popular option is using adhesive cable raceways - they're like little plastic channels you can paint to match your walls, giving you a clean look while still allowing easy access. If you're feeling a bit more decorative, fabric cord covers can be a great choice. They're flexible and can either blend in with your carpet or even become a stylish design element.

For a really sleek look, you might consider tucking cables behind your baseboards if possible, or even installing taller ones to accommodate the wiring. And don't overlook the power of furniture - many entertainment centers and TV stands these days come with built-in cable management systems. If you've got carpeting, you could use under-carpet cable protectors. They're flat and can be hidden away under area rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting.

There are also some fun, decorative options like spiral wire wraps or colorful sleeves that can turn your cables into a piece of art. And of course, sometimes the simplest solutions work best - a few well-placed cable ties and clips can go a long way in keeping things neat and tidy.

Adhesive cable raceways are definitely a great solution for keeping cables neat and organized while maintaining a clean look. They're also relatively easy to install without the need for cutting into walls.
