Required Materials:
- Primed cord cover – This option is comparable via Amazon, and this one is available at Home Depot
- Wall paint to coordinate with your wall hue
- Hack saw to trim the cord cover to the necessary size.

Step 1: Trim the cord covers to the exact length required.
Since our headboard obscured most of the wire, we sliced ours into twelve-inch segments.
Step 2: Using paint that matches your wall color, apply two coats of paint to the cord covers – permitting to dry between layers.
If you are short on time, a blow dryer can accelerate the paint drying process.
Step 3: After the paint has cured completely, guide the white cord into the cord cover and slide it in fully.
Step 4: Peel off the adhesive backing on the cord cover and affix it to the wall – positioning it precisely where desired.
I didn't wish to remove the whole sticky strip, so I simply peeled away roughly one and a half inches from the top and an equal amount from the bottom. It is adhering perfectly.
