When it comes to decoration, you are likely to have bothered to see the tangle of wires that are scattered around the house. Although, often, wiring is not colored, the cluster can negatively impact the visual image of the rooms.
In conversation with CNNthe architect Consuelo Jorge It says that loose material is one of the main elements that compromise the. “In addition to polluting the look, the exposed wires break the harmony of space. Therefore, the ideal is to hide them, whether inside the walls, in baseboards, wood panels or planned furniture for this purpose. The result is a cleaner, organized and elegant environment.”
Is a more “invisible” and lasting wiring possible?
According to the professional, there are several ways to make wiring virtually invisible and at the same time lasting. In home theater projects, for example, it is common to use wall embedded pipes to pass cables such as HDMI and energy, ensuring a clean look.
“Wooden panels allow you to hide all the wires on the back, while tables and racks can have internal passages that keep functionality without compromising design,” he says.
For Consuelo, keeping the environment organized requires planning. “It all starts with the layout, followed by the design of electrical points and conduits. It is essential to define the position of furniture and equipment before the work, compatible them with complementary projects. Wooden panels with camouflaged doors, for example, allow easy access to maintenance, without compromising aesthetics,” he comments.
