Planning a small TV room is no easy feat, but worry not, it is certainly not impossible to create a statement scheme around your TV, even in a tiny space. 

We've curated a selection of creative solutions to create a small TV room scheme that you can be proud of, whether that be alongside statement artwork, disguised within a wall storage, or blending into a dark living room background. 

Small TV room ideas

For most households, the TV is an essential tool for helping us unwind, keeping the kids entertained, and facilitating cozy movie nights. The problem is, it’s not the prettiest piece of interior decor – when switched off, it’s essentially a large black box. Here, we showcase our favorite small living room TV ideas and family room TV ideas that cater beautifully to TVs in tiny rooms.

1. Opt for a variety of flexible small seating

'Adding poufs, stools or benches will help to maximize your space in a small TV room,' says Danielle Chiprut, founder and creative principal at Danielle Rose Design .   'These pieces add extra seating for guests, but they don't make your room feel stuffy or overcrowded. When they are not needed for extra living room seating, these versatile pieces can be stored away under a console or used as an ottoman for lounging.'

2. Conceal wires in a bespoke media cabinet

'In this living room, the TV television is float mounted on the wall, avoiding the mess of wires and cables, surrounded with cantilevered shelving which sits above custom cabinetry,' says Clara Ewart, head of design at Kitesgrove . 'The display shelving is decorated with books, artworks and other decorative objects, while the cupboards beneath provide streamlined, concealed joinery.'

3. Zone a small open plan tv room with wallpaper

'This small TV room gets a lot of sunlight, so I was able to work with some darker colors and textures without the room feeling too dark,' says Galina Holechek, designer at Galina Renee Interior Design Studio .  

'My client fell in love with this Phillip Jeffries wallpaper in the first presentation, and that laid the foundation for the whole room. A mixture of warm tones with deep rich colors, I love that this room seats around five to six people without feeling cramped. The fact that it's right off of the kitchen helps it not to feel too claustrophobic or cut off.'

4. Play with proportions and materials

At first glance, this small TV room appears to be spacious and large, however, this long living space is actually quite narrow. 'If there’s one thing that’s going to create the illusion of more space in a long living room, it’s decluttering – it can actually make a room feel wider in seconds,' says digital editor at Homes & Gardens, Jennifer Ebert. 'This living room layout features clever low-level living room furniture that doesn't impede on the diminutive proportions of the room.'

5. Use curves to soften harsh corners

The curvaceous furniture trend is back, and it works beautifully in a family room or bedroom TV space,' says Erin Coren and Lina Calváo, co-founders of Curated Nest Interiors .  

'With the emphasis today on the home as a family space, used for entertainment, regimented rows of sectionals and clinical design can look a little stark in a small room.'

'Full-on voluptuous or subtly rounded, curves will lift the small layout and soften the overall look of your room, adding a  bold design focus or a subtle touch of shaping to your décor.'

6. Use accent pieces of furniture

'The small TV room acts as the home’s entertainment hub, an area where you can switch off at the end of the day and chat casually with family,' say Jen and Mar, co-founders of Interior Fox .  

'To create a refined look that adds balance in the room, introduce an accent pieces of furniture such as an occasional chair, coffee table and a floor lamp. This set up will allow the room to feel more sociable and multifunctional should you wish to turn the TV off and use as a space to host guests.'

7. Hide or disguise your TV 

(Image credit: Melinda Kelson O'Connor Architecture & Interiors/Sarah Millet)

'This TV room optimizes space with the creation of a bespoke cabinet that accommodates a cozy gas fireplace, tons of cookbooks for the neighboring kitchen, a secret door to the pantry and a sliding panel to hide the TV when not in use,' says Mindy O’Connor, principal of Melinda Kelson O’Connor Architecture & Interiors . 'Two comfortable and whimsical chairs pair with the simple striped living room sofa to make a small footprint that is warm and inviting, but open to other spaces.'

'The patio doors were created to let in light and mirror the original woodwork in the house. They allow the TV room to go from occupying the back corner of a grand house to becoming a more central room from both inside and out. It's perfect for a cup of tea, watching TV or evening cocktails while meals are being prepped, both informal for the family, but elegant enough for guests.'

 

8. Introduce a sectional in a narrow space

'Small doesn't mean a space can't feel designed and functional, this small TV room is the perfect Bohemian living space that can accommodate more than a few comfortably,' says Kendra Nash, principal designer of Nash Design Group . 'Natural light and comfortable, yet appropriately sized furnishings make even the smallest of spaces feel large. '

9. Create a feature out of your TV

'Rather than hanging the TV on a white wall, we decided to create a custom millwork piece to add color and distinction to this Classic 7 pre-war apartment den,' says Matthew Miller, principal and founder of StudioLAB . 'The dark blue lacquered wall unit, which surrounds the TV and serves as a place to display accessories, delivers a sharp contrast to the otherwise neutral-colored room and creates a more modern flow of living space. The unit floats off the floor, while the grid pattern adds an interesting visual dimension for a clean, modern look.'

How do you arrange a TV in a small room?

Arranging a TV in a small room is easy than you might think. There are no set rules on where to place a TV in a small room, it all depends on your individual needs. 

Working out where your larger pieces of furniture are going to be placed is a great way to start, as this will then narrow down your options. Another thing to consider are the light levels in the room and making sure the TV isn't positioned in an space that is often overwhelmed by sunlight, making it difficult to watch.

Planning beautiful small living room TV ideas is no easy feat, but worry not, it is certainly not impossible to create a statement scheme around your TV, even in a tiny space. 

We've curated a selection of creative solutions to create a small living room TV scheme that you can be proud of, whether that be alongside statement artwork, disguised within a wall storage, or blending into a dark living room background.  

Small living room TV ideas

For most families, a TV is an essential tool for helping adults unwind, keeping the kids entertained, and facilitating cozy movie nights. The problem is, it’s not the prettiest piece of interior decor – when switched off, it’s essentially a large black box. Here, we showcase our favorite small living room ideas that cater beautifully to TVs.

1. Blend your TV into the background in an apartment

One of the main challenges in a small living room is how to deal with the tech. Don't let a TV spoil your small living room aesthetic. Here, the TV and TV stand blends beautifully into the fireplace-cum-storage of this small apartment living room without interrupting the linear aesthetic. This bespoke option hides all the wires, gives you super storage below and shelves for keepsakes on each side of the TV

Turn your family room into a sociable hub for the whole clan with a scheme centered around the TV. While the first reception room may be the place for more formal living TV room ideas aimed at hosting guests, a family room is the part of the house where movie nights reign supreme, and the whole family can relax in each other’s company. 

In this scheme from interior designer Melissa Bolivar, founder, House of Sui Sui , has ensured that this snug-cum-cinema room, which leads off the kitchen, is an immersive experience with the walls, cabinetry, sofa and rug all featuring nuanced hues of teal and aquamarine. Living room furniture ideas and accessories in similar but not quite matching tones create a warming spectrum of sunshine across the space.

'A bespoke chaise-style sofa makes best use of limited space; the richly-hued rug was inspired by the minimalist work of artist Ellsworth Kelly,' says Melissa.

3. Integrate a TV within a wall of storage

Small living room ideas take on myriad of guises: family zones, entertaining spaces, multi-media hubs. Therefore, well-planned storage ideas are transformative in allowing this hard-working room to meet every need.

‘Consider living room furniture ideas that feature both drawers and open shelving,’ says Rachel Galbraith, creative director at Ercol. ‘This versatility allows for bulkier items and unsightly TV remotes to be stowed out of sight, while eye-catching accessories can be styled on surfaces at eye level. If you love to mix up your interiors on a regular basis, free-standing designs are a perfect option and can be moved around the house.’

4. Consider color combinations in a small space

A carefully considered color clashing combination can create a small living room TV scheme that truly sings with joy. This is a space for both socialising and retreat, so you want shades that both enliven and comfort you. ‘Pink and green is one of my favorite color combination in rooms – they play really well off each other and it’s a great way to cheer up a room,’ says Lucy Barlow, founder, Barlow & Barlow.  

A TV surrounded by storage is a practical solution and can be softened with the addition of books and favorite pieces. Paint your living room shelving in a statement color to standout rather than hide it away.

5. Choose the right furnishings

Getting the furniture right within your small living room TV ideas is one of the biggest challenges when thinking about how to design a living room. 

'This needs to be a practical space for watching TV and creating good conversation,' says Mike Fisher, creative director and founder, Studio Indigo. 'What you choose needs to contribute to the personality and harmony of the space. Inevitably, I find people often graduate to the smaller rooms of a house as they are more intimate and cozier, whereas big rooms can make you feel small and uncomfortable. Be bold with your little living room and use large-scale furniture sparingly to give the illusion that the TV room is grander than it actually is. ’ 

6. Minimize the presence of your TV

(Image credit: Neptune)

Tone down the presence of a TV by choosing a dark paint color for the surrounding joinery. In this scheme by Neptune, the inky black shelves have the dual effect of allowing the colors of the book spines to stand out while helping to minimize the presence of the screen.

'Where possible, conceal a TV so it isn't the focal point, 'says Sophie Coller, managing director, Kitesgrove. 'Failing that, set it within joinery surrounded by bookshelves to subtly integrate it.' 

7. Create a scheme around the TV

(Image credit: Ginny Macdonald Design / Raquel Langworthy)

'The best way to camouflage your TV is to blend create a color scheme around the 'black box',' says Jen & Mar, the duo behind Interior Fox . 'Disguising your TV within a black and white space is a great way to ensure that your receiver never becomes an eyesore.'

While monochrome decorating can be tricky to get right, a considered approach will be rewarded by a simple but impactful scheme, especially in a small living room TV scheme. But tone and texture are important – remember that the most successful monochrome interiors combine movement and depth with tactile pieces to create an interesting narrative, as beautifully demonstrated in this space by Ginny Macdonald Design .

8. Center your TV in a small living room

Symmetry in interior design is a trick used to create smart-looking rooms – and it's perfect for your small living room TV ideas. Symmetry is a technique used by interior designers to create a space that looks incredibly tidy and smart – and therefore calming and relaxing. Using a TV as a visual anchor is a good place to start. 

‘We definitely like symmetry in our design work and feature it quite a bit. Symmetry creates a sense of balance and order and is calming to the mind, no matter your requirements of the space. You see lots of examples of symmetry in nature and it is an important principle generally in design,’ says Sophie Burke from Sophie Burke Design .  

Your living room seating ideas are just as important in a symmetrical space. Incorporate a plethora or seating options for the whole family.

9. Let your TV shine as part of the wall décor

Looking for living room art ideas for accent walls to give your small living room TV focus? If you are considering mounting a TV to the wall in a living room, one way to really make it sing out is by painting the wall behind it in a shade that's a total contrast to the color of the TV or surrounding walls. 

Painting or wallpapering your walls – around your living room TV – is an easy way to transform a small room and when you inevitably get bored with your chosen color in years to come, it is an easy refresh job. 

10. Redirect the eye

Narrow lines play optical illusions. Here the textured media wall by Sigmar London , has the effect of distracting from the fact the TV stands proud of the wall and can also be extended on an arm. 'Stripes bring order and structure to a space and have the ability to redirect the eye,' says Roselind Wilson, founder of Roselind Wilson Design.

David Collinge, managing director, Ian Makin agrees: 'A good stripe isn't only about the color that work together, it's also about the negative space between them that creates a quality pattern.'

How do you fit a TV in a small living room?

With the many of us spending more and more time at home, I can see why you’d want to keep hold of your TV. But I can also see why you want to disguise it – as screens have gotten ever larger they have become big black vacuums, sucking life from the space like they do from the eyes of every teenager I know. There is a way to hide them, however (the TV sets, not the teenagers).

Firstly, start by identifying a different focal point. It could be a fireplace, an amazing view or even an empty wall where you can hang your favorite piece of artwork and arrange your seating around it. Then, in a different corner, you can either commission a purpose-built cupboard in which to hide the TV, recess it into a bookshelf the same size as the screen, or place it against a dark backdrop so that it blends with the decor.  

Can you have a big TV in a small room?

There is nothing to say that you shouldn't place a big TV in a small room. People often assume they should buy small-scale furniture, furnishings and technology for small rooms, but that actually makes a space feel smaller. Don’t be afraid to fill the room.

'Homeowners are looking for dynamic small living room TV ideas that will allow them the time to unwind at the end of a busy day but also one that will really benefit from the additional family time we have all been afforded in recent months, in which case you will want a large TV for the whole family to enjoy,' says Simon Tcherniak, senior furniture designer at Neville Johnson.'

Several ways to integrate wall-mounted TV with shelves

Install in a room not an easy decision, because the whole furniture design depends on its location. Wall-mounted TVs look good with open shelves that make contrasts less obvious.

Space saver

You can save space in a small room with open shelves. Mount on the wall at a comfortable height and choose shelves that are the same color as the wall. Thus, the room will look spacious.

Asymmetry

Asymmetric arrangement of shelves looks fresh and always implies a bold author's approach, so experiment not only with furniture, but also with its color, as asymmetry is achieved by a visual play of color.

Asymmetrical shelving looks bold and new

An off-centre screen position can be more convenient than a centrally positioned TV and should be seat-oriented.

Textured wall

Create a unique zone by highlighting a wall in a room with a textured surface. It may be in the form of brickwork. If you don't want it to stand out too much, make it the same color as the rest of the walls. Also, add some accent lighting to make the design more interesting and bring out the texture of the wall.

Textured wall creates a unique style

Wide shelves

Love the idea of ​​an extra wide shelf close in size to the display to complement. It's an interesting alternative to traditional consoles and its storage compartments are great for a variety of things.

Wide shelves make it easy to store your essentials

Custom furniture

This is your best option as you can personalize the area according to your exact needs and preferences. In such a living room there will be a very interesting wall unit with a marked area for a wall-mounted TV and a beautiful area under the display.

Framing

Frame with a combination of furniture and wall art. Hang photos in different sizes and at different heights and don't try to be symmetrical. This is a great solution for a modern living room.

Minimalist decor

If you prefer minimalist decor, choose legless hanging furniture that will float under the TV, complementing the display area visually. Make a vertical open cabinet on the side and complement it with wide horizontal furniture. Being between two perpendicular figures, the TV will fit perfectly into the composition.

Choose furniture without legs to make the space light

Consistency

Consistency is important in any interior design. If you have wooden furniture, it is an interesting concept to use wooden wall dividers with built-in shelves to unify the decor in the room. It's also a good idea for a background.

Accent color

To use a bright color accent in a room, one panel will be enough. Place it behind and it will give extra contrast to the shelves below it. An acceptable way to do a simple design.

Back panel

The back panel can look completely different and effortlessly complement the interior, be a convenient way to hide wires. Match it with your sofa or other furniture. Consider a neutral color, such as white, for adjacent accessories. The wall panel can also create an immersive TV effect by framing it with a niche.

The rear panel has practical features and complements the interior

Geometric design

Geometric shapes as a wall panel solution will look like interior architectural art and not that hard to make. The round white panel contrasts well with the black rectangle of the plasma. An elegant hanging cabinet underneath in matching tones completes the look. Use the shapes to your liking: instead of a circle, you can choose a panel in the form of a honeycomb, triangle or parallelepiped - the lines in the room do not always have to be square.

Built-in storage

Built-in storage is a popular element of modern living. You can easily add a TV storage wall, which is important for small spaces. This option solves two problems at once: you create a convenient place for the most valuable things, and you can place your TV with shelves that are the right size.

You can save space by placing a TV in the storage cabinet

The ideal solution would be the option of shelves hidden behind doors that have the same color as the wall. At the same time, the screen area can remain open, thanks to the correct shape of the doors, and close only the storage itself. This solution looks like a decorative panel, but with its own storage advantages.

Functional shelving units

Functional storage wall can look like open shelves or rows of cabinets. It may also be possible to hide the TV behind a door when not in use. Such blocks differ in that they can be of different shapes. The most convenient is a corner model with a separate niche for a TV of the required size. Such blocks are good because they can contain enough compartments to accommodate speakers, DVDs, game consoles and more.

Wall TV niche

The niche will be the best design solution for modern living rooms that do not require additional storage. This is a great way to keep the concept of smooth walls and floors that the eye won't stumble over.

In-wall mount

In-wall insert is a great idea for a cable-free interior. The effect is achieved using wall panels. Three types of wall mounts are available:

Wall panel hides wires

Mounts contain two parts: the first part is attached to the back, with screws that come with the mounting bracket. The second part is attached to the wall. By wall mounting, the TV eliminates the need for a rather bulky media console, which frees up space even more, making it spacious.

Mounts help to adjust the tilt of the screen

How to choose a modern TV console

A popular solution for wall-mounted is to choose a console, which is both a shelf and part of the TV wall into which it is mounted. The advantage of this solution is that the console can be installed both near the wall and in the middle of the room, delimiting the space and creating the effect of a separator.

Console shelf to match your taste and style

Whether in the living room, bedroom or any living space, a modern TV console should match your style and balance the room.

Size

The size of the console is directly related to the size of the TV. While the surface area must be large enough to fit the base, a balanced look can be achieved by choosing a contemporary entertainment center that is wider than the screen. The TV stand must also support the weight. You need to accurately measure the space to make sure the rack will fit properly.

The size of the console is directly related to the size of the TV

Height

Any height you choose for your TV is related to your individual style and preferences.

But here's my tip to keep in mind when choosing a console: make sure the bottom half of your screen is at eye level when you're seated. This placement will make the screen not too high or low.

The TV should be placed so that the bottom of the TV is at eye level when seated

Highlights

Consider before purchasing how much cabinet, shelving and chest of drawers you need to accommodate all your media space, as in addition to conventional consoles there are also multimedia models that provide additional media storage space. There are modern media centers that contain large drawers and compartments for storing accessories, as well as block designs with unique style options that provide additional storage space for books, photos and accessories.

Think in advance how many accessories you need to store

Design ideas with wooden elements

In modern homes, the wooden element is especially welcome as it tends to soften the cold and sterile aesthetic. The tree looks beautiful in almost any version. It can be a panel with a TV or a corner cabinet. The storage area near the TV can also be designed for DVDs, video games and equipment. A good combination would be the combination of hardwood with a chrome frame and LED lighting above and below.

Dividing walls

Dividers are not just a zone trick. They really brighten up small spaces and can also accommodate a TV, allowing it to separate rooms on either side of a wall.

Creative walls draw the eye and create the main focus of the room. But since the TV already serves as an accent wall, why not use it for a more impressive effect: wall designs are not limited to contrasting colors.

    Installing small models is pointless, because not only the hostess, but also all family members who came to eat will want to watch the movie.

    Kitchen with sofa

    The combination of these two pieces of furniture became popular in the 90s. Then the kitchen was not only a place for cooking, but also for receiving guests. Today, despite the presence of special guest rooms in many houses and apartments, combining a sofa with a TV remains relevant.

    First of all, they create comfort. There will always be those who want to relax while waiting for dinner, lie down on a soft pillow, watching their favorite show. The hostess herself will also not mind spending a few free minutes not sitting on a stool, but comfortably spread out.

    Comfort zone with sofa

    Most designs have the sofa in front of the work surface. Between them is a table and chairs. It is best to hang the screen on the side wall so that it can be equally clearly seen by both those who are lying and the hostess standing by the stove. When the guests sit down at the table, it is enough just to leave one of the small sides closest to the screen unoccupied.

    To plan the interior, taking into account all the details, follow these tips:

  • The sofa may be missing, while all other furniture is corner. In such cases, the screen can be installed above the L-shaped surface.
  • Eliminate wall cabinets and free up access to the TV. Some housewives cannot imagine a room without them, but when they are not there, the whole room looks more spacious. You can replace them with retractable, roll-out systems.

The arm must have a swivel function so that the screen can easily be rotated in the desired direction . Then you can look into it from any position: sitting, standing, being in different parts of the room.

    The advantage of this installation method is its simplicity. The bracket is easy to mount, even inexperienced can do it. Also, this option is well suited for small rooms, for which 15-20 inch models are preferred.

    Swiveling function for the desired rotation

    You can only install a flat screen on the bracket, you cannot hang a lamp screen. For old large models, only hanging shelves can be used and this is not desirable. Due to the large weight of the model, it is very difficult to find a reliable, durable mount.

    To mount the bracket, it is necessary to fasten the bolts to a solid base - concrete or brick. New design solutions offer more interesting installation options: it can descend from the ceiling, be fixed behind the cabinet from above, so that the bolts will not be visible.
