The wires are not long enough. Also, the black hardly matches with the wall. I want them to be almost invisible is possible.

Have you got access to that wallpaper?

Because if so, you can "sleeve" sort of the wires with the wallpaper, the same way I painted mine.

You could extend them. Running them threw the wall is really the only way to make it as clean as it sounds like you want them. That or you could buy floor stands and run the wire under the carpet.
