Funny how our homes fill up with cables everywhere, from the TV to phone chargers. Those plastic adhesive clips that stick to baseboards are a lifesaver, keeping cords tight against the wall. For bigger setups, those flat cord channels you can paint over hide everything neatly. Sometimes just routing things behind a heavy piece of furniture is the easiest fix, out of sight and out of chewing range.
You mentioned those adhesive clips keeping cords tight against the wall. I read a blog post that suggested using Velcro strips for a less permanent fix. The writer said it works well for grouping cords behind entertainment centers. I tried it in my own living room and it does look tidier. Still, just tucking everything behind a bookcase is my lazy way out.
