Make it easy on yourself - don't fight ripping he walls open, just
run EMT tubing on the surface. Practice with the bender so the bends
are all neat and pretty, clamp it down well with straps to the studs
or joists so it wont move, and then paint it to match the room. The
paint will make it all but disappear.

This of course is the correct way to do the job. Run it in pipe.
The only time I see NM cable ("romex") in EMT is where it has
to run over brick or stone and needs some mechanical protection.

THe electrician who wired a couple of circuits in my house did
that in the basement - NM cable that drops out of the overhead,
crosses over brickwork, and ties to a box on the wall. He slipped
pieces of EMT over the cable to provide mechanical protection.
