Following on from the discussion a few weeks ago on wiring, I tried the
"masking tape" technique of hiding wires, and it worked well.
Below are a
couple of tips, based on my experience.

1) ALWAYS make sure your wire is long enough :-)
2) Holding the wire in the corner and applying the masking tape is tricky.
So "tack" the wire in place first, with thin strips of  the same
tape, about
20cm apart.
3) Applying the tape without kinks or wrinkles can be tricky. Start off at
the bottom of the wall, where it will be least visible, and use 20cm or so
strips. When you get the hang of it you can use longer bits of wire.

Hope those 3 small hints help someone.
