I'd like to put some trunking in, primarily to cover where the speaker cables run.
As the skirting boards are squared off, I'm thinking that square/rectangular trunking may look best. Any tips from the collective OCUK wisdom on what trunking is good? Probably just stick to adhesive (pun intended!).
I was looking at some of the D-Line stuff but can't help but feel that the rounded style won't work well with the squarer style skirting board I have.
This is where I'd like to install it:
There is a power socket just on the left edge of the picture behind the sofa.
This runs for 200CM or so along the skirting board before it gets behind the side table. The power for the lights on the side table are there (the plugs are too fat to be under the side table, annoyingly! another WIP to find a power strip that allows you to rotate the sockets better).
Another 100CM gets it to where the wall cut in occurs.
26CM is the first cut in length, then 47CM back to the wall again on the right hand side.
The final stretch would be at a minimum of 60CM to hide the cable work on the left of the TV, but if I am doing this properly I should probably carry it further behind the TV to get the speaker cables on the right as well. So 250CM would cover that length quite nicely.
