Many people will run the antenna along the baseboard, if you have carpet you can tuck the wire gentle between the carpet and baseboard and it will not be seen. Doing this will limit moving the radio very far but if you are happy with the location and don't plan to make it a portable radio then this might be a good solution for you.
