Make It Match
To create a visually appealing TV wall, consider matching the color scheme of your room. This stunning bespoke media wall complements the gray tones of the formal living room in this example.
When positioning a TV on a chimney breast, keep in mind the practical considerations. Jaki Willson, marketing consultant at Falchi Interiors, advises ensuring adequate space between the flue and the TV. Use fire-rated materials for any housing and framework, and incorporate vents for proper airflow.
Fit It In An Alcove
This inky blue living room showcases a captivating fireplace as the focal point. To maintain a balanced aesthetic, the TV is discreetly placed in a corner alcove storage unit, reflecting the lifestyle of a family where television viewing is not the primary activity.
Opt For A Simple Wall Mount
A simple wall mount can be an effective way to display your television while saving space. In this warm and inviting lounge with a rosy pink color scheme, a wall-mounted television creates a clean and uncluttered look.
As Alan Whyte, managing director at Loewe UK, points out, wall-mounting your television offers flexibility and allows you to adjust the viewing angle for optimal comfort. This is especially beneficial in small spaces where floor space is limited.
Embrace Awkward Corners
This built-in storage unit, painted in Boringdon Green by Little Greene, is a perfect solution for combining storage and display in a small space. The neatly stacked books frame the television, creating a visually appealing and functional focal point.
As Tonie Pepperstreet, lead designer at Bespoke Carpentry London, explains, this custom-designed unit was essential for the homeowner, who struggled to find suitable furniture for the sloping walls of the flat. The built-in cupboards and shelving not only provide ample storage but also add character and visual interest to the space.
Keep It Out Of Sight
This versatile storage unit features shutter-style doors that allow for clear viewing of the television when desired. When closed, the doors conceal the TV, creating a clutter-free and visually appealing space. This is a perfect solution for those who want to enjoy their favorite shows while maintaining a tidy living room.
Style Up A TV stand
This minimalist TV stand is more than just a place to display your television. The bottom shelf features a colorful trio of baskets, while small vases with single cut flowers add a touch of elegance. The vibrant floral wallpaper provides a stunning backdrop, completing the curated look of this stylish and functional space.
Install A Modern Fireplace Media Wall
Placing a television above a fireplace is a popular design choice. This modern living room features a recessed fireplace with a sleek steel blue finish. A custom-designed TV wall unit complements the fireplace, creating a cohesive and visually appealing space. The recessed design allows for the display of firewood, adding a touch of rustic charm to the contemporary aesthetic.
Make It Centre Of Attention
A bold and eye-catching media unit can make your television the focal point of the room. This rich brown unit features matching wall lights on either side, creating a balanced and visually appealing design. Consider incorporating layered lighting to add ambiance and enhance the overall atmosphere of your space.
Choose Warm Woods
Wood paneling is a stylish and practical way to add visual interest to plain white walls. The natural material creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, complementing the overall aesthetic of your space. Consider using light cotton oak for a Scandi-inspired look. The panels can be backed with sound-absorbing felt for added functionality and noise reduction. This design element will enhance the character and warmth of your room while providing a practical solution for your wall space.
Look To Nature
Walnut slatted panels are a stylish and modern way to incorporate wood into your TV wall design. These panels add warmth, character, and texture, seamlessly integrating into the fitted media unit. The surrounding storage in a soft sage green color complements the wood panels, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere that connects the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Let It Blend In
This vibrant living room demonstrates that a television doesn’t have to be the focal point of the space. The TV is discreetly placed in a corner within an existing unit, framed by photo frames and ornaments. This approach allows the other elements of the room, such as the colorful patterns and textures, to take center stage.
Mirror It
A mirrored frame is a stylish way to conceal your television when not in use. Positioned above a sideboard or mantel, the mirror seamlessly blends into your room’s decor while reflecting light and creating a brighter atmosphere. The adjustable straps on the back securely hold your flat-screen TV in place, ensuring a discreet and seamless look until you switch it on.
Frame With Floating Furniture
For compact spaces, consider using floating furniture to frame your television. This eye-catching design creates a unique and stylish focal point. Place floating storage units above and below the TV to complete the look. Wall-mounting your television is a great way to declutter your space and create a modern aesthetic. Experiment with different heights and angles to find the optimal viewing experience, as suggested by Grant Robertson, interior design leader at Ikea UK and Ireland.
Create A Gallery Wall
Enhance your TV wall with a gallery wall featuring framed pictures on either side. This design, by Alexander James Design, incorporates a recessed space for the television and built-in display units above and below. As Julie Clifford, marketing consultant at Alexander James Interiors, points out, a media wall can add a touch of elegance and conceal unsightly cables or toys. This design is ideal for those who want to create a visually appealing and functional space.
Play On Negative Space
This custom-designed white TV wall unit, painted in Strong White by Farrow & Ball, was created to showcase the television as the focal point of the living room. The unit provides ample storage and enhances the functionality of the space. As Tonie Pepperstreet, lead designer at Bespoke Carpentry London, explains, this transformation was essential for creating a practical and inviting living area.
Embrace Texture
A suede feature wall can elevate the look of your television and add a touch of luxury to your living space. This design incorporates floating shelves and an entertainment unit, creating a stylish and functional focal point. When encasing a TV in joinery, ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating. Niloufar Lamakan, interior designer at Nila Design, recommends using a suede finish wallpaper for a luxurious look and verifies that the wallpaper meets fire safety standards.
Make It Modular
This rectangular, grid-style TV unit adds a modern industrial edge to the living room. The open shelves provide ample storage for books, photos, and other items, while the closed cupboards keep clutter hidden. The unit’s design allows the gray wall to be visible, creating a visually appealing and integrated look.
Disguise Behind A Fabric Roller Blind
For a discreet and stylish way to conceal your television, consider using a vibrant roller blind.
