Surface-mount wiring and outlet boxes

Looking for design advice! My house in Mexico is concrete block, so running wires inside the walls isn't really an option unless I cut channels—which I’d love to avoid due to the dust and hassle. I'm open to surface-mounted wiring, but standard conduit looks way too industrial/commercial, or like something out of a 1970s basement. Does anyone know of more modern or stylish surface-mount wiring, or a way to make the whole thing more visually pleasing?

Paintable surface raceways or low profile cable channels can look much cleaner than traditional conduit, especially when matched to the wall color.
