There's an easier solution that I used years back when component HD first came out. I can't recall the name of it, but it's plastic stuff that looks like your baseboard trim, but with a smaller profile, and you can hide whatever wires and cables you need to run behind it as you snug it up against the baseboard trim. It doesn't look all that bad and they make it in different colors so you can get one that's close to your trim color.
Sorry Swish, I just thought that would be obvious but I guess if common sense was so common it wouldn't need a special name.

A couple of brands I used for surface raceways are...

Panduit....

and Wiremold.....

I'm sure there are other more designer friendly styles out here now a days. I'm sure Home Depot et al would be a good place to start.
