Do a Google search for WireMold Cable Management
You can buy colored runways. Or just paint the runways to match.
Protect them from what? Anything you put over them will look even worse and probably won’t matter.
Can’t tell what kind of flooring that is. In my house, the baseboard is about 3/4 inch above the subfloor. I was able to run several wires along that, by tucking it into that gap and then putting the carpet back down over it, to keep it in the channel. Worked surprisingly well, but depends on how they built that. Doesn’t work where I have hardwood.
That looks terrible.
Protect him from what? In over 20 years I don’t think I’ve ever had a cable get damaged by just sitting along the wall
put your body against them
or a large spartan shield
Happiest part of going to GoogleTV was being able to eliminate the coax cables around my house.
Not the OP but…
-
The cables in OP’s pic are Ethernet not Coax.
-
Google TV still needs a internet connection via either Wi-Fi or Ethernet so those cables would still be needed.

Why do need so many cables? Can you just run one and at the end put a router at the end to distribute the signal? You could also use a cable management stapler. It has plastic coated staple to hold down coax, and network cables in place.
Cut out a channel in the plasterboard with a multitool… buy some ducting to go in behind the plasterboard. If you need to dig out the brickwork a bit use an SDS drill with a spade and/or chisel bit. Drill holes for rawl plugs to attach the ducting too. Screw the ducting into the plugs Lay the cables in… cover the ducting with the ducting cover. Pop over some self adhesive mesh for plastering. Add your filler and plaster and the cut out plasterboard piece from before. Wait to dry… sand with sander until flat and ‘wall like’ paint with paint… cables gone looks good. And it’s best way to protect them.
Staples. Don’t worry if you go through some of them.
You can try [this], it fits against the baseboard.
Cheap way is buy some PVC pipe large enough to accommodate all the cable and paint it the color you want then pull all the runs through. The proper way would be to open a strip on the wall to the studs and hide everything.
One is lazy. The other is pretty.
They look fine. A lot neater than some of mine. They even cable tied them!
