Hiding speaker wires
I'm getting a home cinema system. Any idea on hiding the wires? I have a wooden floor and white skirting. Paint them?

Get white cables and pin them to the skirting board.

similar setup to me then, im thinking about some trunking. or someone suggested to me some kind of trunking which replaces your skirting board, requires you to remove the existing skirting. not seen it myself though |

trunking looks awful , the plastic type anyway
get white cable as suggested and staple it on taking care not to catch wire |

I always prefer trunking to visible cable clipped wiring but it is a question of your own aesthetic tastes. You can get very narrow trunking nowadays which will hide a speaker wire and can be run either along the top of the skirting or along the skirting / floor join.
I've seen someone use D profile trunking along the top of standard chamfered skirting and made it look like he had used Ogee profile skirting. If you replace your current skirting with the double sided Torus/Ogee type, using the Ogee face outwards will leave a diagonal cavity behind it which will hide a pre-installed cable. |

I removed the skirting and ran the cable behind it.
