Home interior designers know that TVs can often serve as the focal point of living rooms when designing homes, yet you don't necessarily have to choose wall-mounted or stand mounted versions. There are plenty of creative and eye-catching ways that your media set can be hidden or displayed - here are our favorite tv wall ideas that'll turn your entertainment center into an impressive showpiece!
One of the easiest tv wall ideas is framing your screen. This DIY project takes advantage of pipe furniture's popularity and is simple enough for anyone to complete. Ornate wooden frames also work, as Liz Marie Blog illustrates in their design for both wide and narrow TV screens that can be decorated seasonally for added interest in any given space.
Mirrored panels can also make an effective TV frame. Maite Granda used this approach in her room design to reflect window views and make the room appear larger. For an ultra-minimalist touch, try surrounding your TV with black walls like Kendall Wilkinson Design did - surrounding her wall-mounted television with built-in shelving units which balance its symmetry while providing space for decor objects when it is off.
Add tongue-and-groove paneling to the wall before hanging your TV for an organic and seamless appearance that blends in seamlessly with its surroundings. In this home, the designers painted it a soft sage green hue (try Aganthus Green by Benjamin Moore) to match other green accents in their decor. If textured wallcoverings don't appeal, consider installing wallpaper or painting solid colors instead to create an accent wall effect.
