50 Ideas To Decorate The Wall You Hang Your TV On

Entertainment walls have become an important living room feature, and now provide stiff competition for the traditional feature fireplace. TV lovers want their box in pride of place to achieve the optimum viewing angle, so increasingly the lounge fireplace is being bumped to a side wall or corner adornment. This interior reshuffle leaves space to imagine a new living room feature wall with the TV at its centre. It also presents extra requirements for storage of receiver and recorder equipment, plus movie media, consoles and games. So how do we achieve a modern vista beautiful enough to take the place of a mantelpiece, and on what do we now display our treasured items?

This wall and base unit combo is mounted against a wood panel backdrop, which visually holds the entire arrangement together. The TV is mounted to one end of the long console, with the opposite side being used as the ideal place to display a few favourite art prints lit by designer lamps.

The wood panel behind this TV runs up against a tall bookcase of matching wood tone.

Due to the slimline storage space requirements of a media console unit, layouts can get creative. This offset alignment gives the illusion of sliding volumes, pulling away to leave display nooks.

This backlit television makes a feature of its woodgrain mount even when the screen is not in use. A block arrangement of media units to the side creates a place to display decorative and treasured items. Notice how the theme of the wall matches that of the living room chandelier.

In this living room, not just the television but the TV wall panel itself is backlit. The feature provides a lovely cosy glow, in lieu of a traditional flame fireplace. The low shelf at the base of the installment is reminiscent of a hearth too.

Wall mounted units are a popular choice for a TV wall. Uninterrupted floor space looks clear and tidy; the room looks more spacious and is also easier to clean. The LED lighting strip that runs beneath the upper unit in this particular arrangement adds to the look of weightlessness, as well as illuminating display items beneath.

This entertainment wall is made up of a floor standing base unit and a unique wall shelf that displays motivational posters on its surface and a small selection of books within a neat return.

If it’s a luxe look you’re after then how about mounting your TV onto marble effect panels. A side positioned modern fireplace on a low level wall mounted unit adds to the high-end finish, the transparent fireplace screen ensuring visual emphasis remains on the marble. Off topic, but those gorgeous nesting coffee tables help as well!

Running a backing panel vertically, all the way from floor to ceiling, creates the impression of a chimney breast when there is none.

Using two contrasting materials over your wall and storage volumes brings added interest.

Cat lovers can use the entertainment wall as an opportunity to incorporate cat ladders and feline hideaways. This cleverly constructed wall disguises a cat ladder as a set of casually offset shelves and a cabinet display nook. There is also a cat flap leading into a compartment within an adjacent cupboard.

No wall on which to hang your TV? No problem. Consider installing a half height room divide to hold your TV set. The home pictured here topped off the room divider with some internal windows to allow natural light to flow between two spaces.

You almost don’t notice the TV in this home beyond the plant stands. Dark window frames balance out the black TV set, and backlit display nooks draw the eye away.

A centrally constructed storage unit provides ideal placement for the television in this home.

How’s this for a modern take on wainscoting? Asymmetric geometric panels make a technological pattern over this TV feature wall, with one frame picked out in fluorescent orange.

The geometric pattern over this yellow accent living room has been marked out with tape then painted in. The TV is almost invisible against one solid black section.

A sectioned of exposed brickwork has been painted to contrast behind the TV in this blue living room.

Like optical illusions? Check out how this red paintwork has been applied to appear as a 3D box behind the TV, and the way pale grey sections of paint across the ceiling and floor create a nook with the adjoining bookcase.

TVs in the kitchen don’t have to be plonked at the end of a countertop either. This one nestles nicely where a run of wall cupboards have been brought up short. The bright yellow ones above pull the kitchen and the television area together.

Looking for a bold decor idea for your living room wall? Wood finish accent walls don’t have to be flat. This amazing wooden wall has been designed to mimic shattered glass, with each section of wood cut into a shard. The wooden ‘shards’ were then mounted not quite flush, so that each piece would reflect the light at a slightly different angle to achieve the desired effect.

Wood slat walls are another great way to give added texture to a woodtone wall. This one also incorporates sections of ‘living wall’, with plants situated right between the slats.

Grey toned wood has been spliced into a tile-like design here. The same wood tone is used for the door of a base console and a side unit that displays decorative crockery and wine glasses.

A concrete wall makes a dramatic partnership with wood tone.

Fans of the Tron movie should appreciate this blue lit technologically inspired feature wall. With colour changing LED lighting this setup could take on many looks. You can get wireless smartphone controlled led lights here.

The undulating line of these media units presents a place to put books and a dramatic display of decorative vases.

This book lover’s living room sacrifices a book nook for the TV.

Even though the television takes the centre spot in this living room, the books still take all the spotlight.

A painting is exhibited at one side of this nook to balance out the TV.

Lime green bookshelves stand out against exposed brickwork over this TV wall. The television is set on a concrete shelf, with wooden logs stowed beneath.

Coffee tables and side tables have been matched with the tone of this TV wall panelling.

This TV has been mounted to a towering chimney breast where large wooden slabs overlap one another, appearing like a huge work of art.

A reflective black backdrop camouflages glossy TV screen. The colourful stripe rug and scatter cushions on the sofa also work to draw the eye away from the powered down set and into the room.

How about this giant propellor to distract the eye from a blank TV set! This brick wall living room has some amazing features but the glossy TV setup with integrated speaker surround looks pretty awesome too.

A distressed chest with metal borders and rivets works well in an industrial style living room.

This offset TV console is balanced out by the presence of a bright modern accent chair.

If your home is short on storage, an entertainment wall can be an opportune place to incorporate extra units for possessions other than media consoles and accessories.

Wall clocks have long held court over mantelpieces, and they look just as good on an entertainment wall.

The black frame around this TV panel makes it look like part of the art gallery. If you like this look then check out these living rooms with large wall art.

Units create a chunky frame around this wall mounted television and speaker unit. Display shelves have been set inside the frame for extra visual effect.

This box shelf provides a place to sit a flat screen TV on its stand, along with a few more decorative items.

Split level console units present the opportunity to display large artwork or ornaments without the length of the surface appearing overly cluttered, and without large items or speaker units obstructing the television screen.

Sometimes modern fireplaces are still situated centrally, beneath a television set, but be sure to mount your TV high enough so that it doesn’t incur heat damage.

There’s no denying how effective a contemporary letterbox fireplace looks beneath a flat screen TV, but always check the manufacturers guidelines.

These unique planters make zen addition to this unique shelving unit, with one of them suspended right through the top surface.

Alignment and simplicity reigns in this white living room.

This highly futuristic living room has the TV mounted on a transparent dividing wall.

Blue lighting gives a crisp edge to this black and white storage wall that gives pause for a TV.

A minimalist unit is given a new lease of life with a menagerie of decorative candles and scattered tea light holders between the soundsticks.

When creating a TV feature wall, it’s worth investing in beautiful speakers.

These neat speakers take pride of place on a glass shelf over the TV.

How to equip a home gym in the garage - photos and comments

If you're interested in sports, the following example shows how an active Washington family encourages their children's creative and athletic play by transforming a garage into a pavilion-style multipurpose gym.

Hidden in the back of a two-story Seattle home, a detached garage has been converted into a family room. Instead of a TV room, the garage has become a multi-purpose pavilion that encourages the family to play creatively and be active. nine0003

“My clients now have storage space on the first level and a large multi-purpose room on the second. This is a block that is designed to be flexible and stimulating for children. It is able to change as their needs change during adolescence,” says project designer Margaret Menter.

The clients wanted their three children to be able to use their imagination in space. Now they can read books in hammocks, climb stairs, climb ropes or run. The pavilion can easily be converted from a gym to a party room or family movie theater. A small bathroom and sink make it easy to clean up after classes and parties. nine0003

This project inspired the designer to visualize the space through the eyes of active children. It also allowed her to use more modern, rational and functional design elements, leaving behind a largely traditional house built in 1904.

The first level of the pavilion garage is used to house an electric car docking station, while the second level has been converted into a gym.

Margaret Menter retained 75% of the building's existing walls. For the home gym, steel beams were added to the garage's original ceiling frame, running through the center of the space to support climbing ropes and swings. nine0003

To reduce the need for renovations, the architect used durable finishing materials such as plywood (for the walls), parquet flooring and stainless steel (for the skirting boards). To reduce energy losses, industrial steel luminaires and high-performance skylights were installed.

The color scheme of the room is equally well suited for both a children's gym and a place where you can arrange fun parties.

Large sliding doors make it easy to connect the pavilion to the outdoor area. Its proximity to the courtyard allows parties to expand to the street. nine0003

The biggest challenge for the designer was getting zoning approval. “We couldn't change the garage into a play space without adding a car park to another area, so it ended up being a multifunctional space hidden under the garage,” she says.

What used to be a warehouse filled with boxes and random items has become a place that reflects the current lifestyle of this family. “My clients can always convert the pavilion into an office, music room or apartment in the future, but now they need it as a place to spend their free time,” sums up Margaret Menter. nine0003 Categories: Arrangement of the garage

Converting an old garage into a home office studio

See how artist, writer, photographer, actress and mother Sarah Greenman created an art studio over the weekend for less than $300. Here is what she told us about her project.

“Every design choice in my home is dictated by a budget. I work from home as a freelance artist and have two children, so most of the interior items came to the studio from thrift stores or just from a landfill. I often work on large-scale art, and my office, which doubled as a guest room, was simply too small. I needed a larger space. nine0003

Armed with a tight budget of $300, my husband and I converted some of our spaces into an art studio over the weekend. We converted a former 5.8m by 5.8m garage, originally designed for two cars, into a creative space using existing furniture from other rooms in the house. The total cost of my renovated garage was $274, including about 10 gallons of paint and four new dining chairs.

Before the transformation, we used this room, a former garage, as a TV room and a room where toys were thrown into one heap. The room was shabby and dim. nine0003

The previous homeowner renovated the garage - put in the garage door, installed the decking and clad the walls with fake wood. Since he did it himself, there was no insulating material, the walls were hollow in some places, which forced me to fight periodically with spiders and geckos. The homeowner said a garage remodel cost him about $600 decades ago.

After our home office remodeling and furnishing, the garage room has become a cozy studio where I can work creating art and photography, teaching classes and workshops. nine0003

The carpet is laid directly on a sloping cement floor, which makes the composition of the paintings on the walls more interesting. I painted the walls with Black Suede because I love dramatic artwork.

Tip: Most art studios have white walls that provide additional lighting and help keep the focus on the art. But the dark color scheme of a room can also be a great backdrop for artwork.

The garage is not insulated, which is sometimes a problem in hot Texas summers and cool winters. An air conditioner in the corner often comes to the rescue. The sofa creates a cozy atmosphere in the living room and an area for communication with clients during seminars. nine0003

Most of the furniture is from second hand and second hand shops, so some of the items are worn, making them feel old. The gold brocade on the armchair has been torn off at the sides, but a piece of faux sheepskin and a graphic cushion have given it new life.

When I'm working in my studio, I like reference books and pretty things to hand that fire my imagination. A coffee table, colorful pillows, a flower pot, books and artwork create a modern interior design. nine0003

The antique table is the center of attention. I use it for meetings and seminars, work and occasional dinner when I stay here. The metal chairs were my only purchase of new furniture.

In the corner, I set up a work area that includes my library of bookcases that have followed me around since college. The little soft box is for my 3 year old son's toys, who often joins me when I work. I set up two pendant lights above the table using factory hooks and a very long extension. nine0003

Tip: Get more organized with two notebooks, like the ones on the wall next to my desk. One of my lists includes work for the current day, another list includes tasks for the next day.

I arranged convenient storage systems for necessary things. All my daily files are easily accessible in a portable file station, which is an old basket. I can move it to the table when I need more space.

I don't write in any particular place, so I brought a small portable table that keeps all the materials close at hand. A ceramic vase from a thrift store is used for brushes and tools.
