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.

  • 01 of 21

    Use a Black and White Palette

    Kara Mann

    The easiest way to make a blank black screen fade into the background of a small living room is to decorate the room in shades of black and white. In this Nantucket cottage from interior designer Kara Mann, the flat-screen TV blends in like an extra in a black-and-white movie—it's tucked seamlessly against the bottom of the slanted ceilings and anchored by a vintage trunk.

    Camouflage It

    Paint the Wall Black

    Design by Sissy + Marley / Photo by Marco Ricca Studio

    Sissy + Marley made this wall-mounted flat screen fade to black with jet-black paint on the wall behind the TV that blends in with a low black console and black floors. White walls and a mix of white and pale-wood built-ins create a neutral graphic color block effect that de-emphasizes the TV screen in a clever way.

    Embed It

    Design by Ghislaine Vinas / Art Gray Photography

    In this minimalist, all-white Los Angeles living room designed by Ghislaine Vinas, the TV is embedded into a seamless wall niche that makes it look like part of the architecture, while a color photo triptych creates a focal point.

    Sideline It

    Design by Emily Henderson and Priscilla Frost / Photo by Sara Ligorria-Tramp

    This basement family room doesn't have high enough ceilings to hang a large flat screen over the mantel, which turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Instead, interior designers Emily Henderson and Priscilla Frost hung the TV on the dark wood-paneled wall to the left of the fireplace. The TV is still visible but doesn't dominate the room, allowing the rustic fireplace to remain the focal point and keep the screen at a more comfortable viewing height when seated on the large sectional sofa.

  • 07 of 21

    Surround It With Bookshelves

    Studio Peake

    In this London living room from Studio Peake, a wall of built-ins includes a tailor-made niche for a flat-screen TV. Colorful wall paint, furnishings, and a wall of bookshelves help to keep the TV from dominating the small space.

    Add Black Decor

    Jenn Pablo Studio

    A trick for making a TV work in a small living room is taking care that it isn't the only black object in the room.

    Backlight the Built-Ins

    Kendall Wilkinson Design

    Create a Niche

    Laura Brophy Interiors

    Laura Brophy Interiors created a perfectly symmetrical TV wall with built-in closed cabinetry to hide clutter and open shelving on either side of the TV niche to display objects. The soft beige and white tones of the room help to soften the tech hanging center stage, and the patterned wall behind the TV distracts the eye when the screen is off.

  • 11 of 21

    Use Bold Color

    Heather Hilliard Design / Michele Lee Willson Photography

    Heather Hilliard Design used bold shades of red and navy blue that dominate this small living room, making it easy to slip into a flat screen on the side wall that practically disappears into the background when not in use.

  • 12 of 21

    Frame It Out

    Jessica Nelson Design / Carina Skrobecki Photography

    Jessica Nelson Design chose a flat screen that fits the space above the mantel for a clean and well-proportioned look in this modern living room. A cloudy sky scene on the Frame TV flanked by windows lightens up the dark fireplace wall and a chunky mantel echoes the golden wood tones throughout the room.

  • 13 of 21

    Paint the Wall Dark

    Brexton Cole Interiors

    Brexton Cole Interiors painted the horizontal shiplap fireplace wall in this small living room in dark navy that helps the flat screen fade into the background when not in use.

  • 14 of 21

    Add an Ornate Frame

    Liz Marie Blog

    Add Texture

    Laura Brophy Interiors

    A black wood slat fireplace wall creates a backdrop for a Frame TV hung above the black firebox that displays a black and white photo when not in use in this Southern California living room from Laura Brophy Interiors.

  • 17 of 21

    Keep It Minimal

    Design by Cathie Hong Interiors / Margaret Austin Photo

    In this living room from Cathie Hong Interiors, a large flat screen is hung on an otherwise blank wall, but a pale wood console beneath it adds warmth. A colorful painting is on the opposite wall, plus sunny textiles and decor give the eye something to focus on when it's turned off.

  • 18 of 21

    Color Block It

    Laura Brophy Interiors

    Laura Brophy Interiors chose a strict black-and-white palette for this small Southern California living room, with a color-blocked fireplace wall that allows the flat screen to look like part of the architecture.

  • 19 of 21

    Add Sconces

    Design by Studio-Surface / Photo by Jenny Siegwart

    Interior designer Michelle Salz-Smith of Studio-Surface didn't try to hide the wall-mounted flat screen over the fireplace in this small California living room, but kept it small so that it doesn't dominate the entire room. Minimalist sconces hung on either side of the screen provide balance and ambient light.

  • 20 of 21

    Add a Thin Frame

    Mindy Gayer Design Co.

    Mindy Gayer Design Co. added a thin pale frame around her wall-mounted flat screen that gives it a more polished feel and makes it feel integrated with the built-ins. A wash of soothing blue paint on the wall of built-ins steals focus and adds softness.

    This was already the 11th home of the owners, however, the first one where they decided to invite designers to create the atmosphere of the house. Everything that they wanted to realize themselves, they already did in previous houses and apartments. An adult, accomplished couple who raised children, knowing each other's habits and tastes to the smallest detail, and at the same time, open to new things, they took a common part in discussing the concept, choosing shades and moods with interest and enthusiasm. We maximized the space with delicate, light shades of cinnamon, ginger and milky flowers, playing with textures, adjacent shades, emphasizing the pattern of wallpaper on the ceiling, designer light, almost luminous tiles of the kitchen backsplash. In the hallway, mirrors were used to the maximum for reflected light, as this is the darkest corner of the apartment.

    🔥 Living room design with TV (184 photos) ) 2023 best ideas for an apartment from a design studio in Moscow!

    Placement of TV in the living room . The large flat screen looks stylish and does not overload the design of the living room, and the TV will fit perfectly into the interior of any apartment.

    Location . Remember, as a child, your parents scolded you for watching cartoons too close? Fortunately, modern models are designed in such a way that you can even place a TV in the living room close to the sofa. The main thing is to look at the whole picture at once. It doesn’t matter if your room has a sofa, an ottoman or comfortable armchairs: the TV in the living room design will logically fit against the wall opposite the resting place.

    Cabinet or bracket? Hang your TV in the living room on a wall bracket if you want more lightness, or put it on a cabinet - there is no universal rule here. What is really worth taking care of is the wires. Even the most stylish interior design is easily ruined by dangling and protruding cables. A pre-provided cable channel will help to cope with this problem. He will hide all the flaws, and the wires will not disturb the harmony of the interior of the living room with a TV.

    Height from floor . The specific TV height may vary depending on the height of your sofa or personal preference. At the same time, there is a universal rule: for comfortable viewing, the distance from the floor to the center of the screen should correspond to the level of the eyes of a seated person and be 100-120 cm.

    Diagonal size . Choose a technique depending on the budget and the size of the room. But if in your design the TV will be the defining element on the living room wall, then its diagonal should be at least 50". Otherwise, the feeling of an empty, bare wall will remain.

    Movie projector as an alternative to . The projector will be a great alternative to the TV in the design of the living room, if the walls of your room are white or light beige without visible relief. In other cases, you can not do without a special screen. Budget options will have to be manually deployed every time you want to watch a movie. More expensive screens work from the control panel. The projector itself is mounted against the opposite wall and can be removable or permanent. Finally, when choosing this alternative, you will have to take care of the curtains. If you are going to arrange movie shows not only at night, you cannot do without thick blackout curtains. Without them, the picture on the screen will be dull and faded. Be sure to hide the wires from the projector in the cable channels!

    Living room design with TV

    Looking for Living room design with TV? I tried and picked up for you not just a selection of ideas from the Internet, but the best works of interior designers from our studio!

    The place of the sofa

    in the design of a living room with a TV

    Thinking over the design of a living room with a TV, make it a schematic sketch . This will save you from unexpected inconsistencies and help you assess the situation from the outside. Display the layout, the location of windows, doors and future furniture on the diagram, keeping the scale.

    Draw an imaginary line from the window to the door . This is a place where drafts walk, which means that putting a sofa here is not safe for health.

    Sofa arrangement in the living room . Determine the main function of your sofa. Are you going to watch TV in the living room every evening? Maybe guests will often spend the night on the sofa? Depending on the role, its place in the interior may change. Take a look at some layout ideas:

    1. An ideal arrangement that maximizes the function of the furniture: sofa in the living room opposite the TV or diagonally from the door. Encourages you to sit down and rest.

    2. A good solution for those whose guests like to stay until the morning is a sofa near the door. It is hidden behind a wall, the door overlooks the TV. With such an arrangement in the living room of your kopeck piece or treshka, a feeling of comfort is preserved.

    3. If the sofa is a corner sofa, the best place for it is at the far end of the room from the entrance. Thus visually it fits into the natural boundaries of the room, does not overload the interior of the living room with a TV, and you maintain a sense of spaciousness.

    Correct opening of the living room door

    In or out?

    Living room door opening . You can “hide” the door with the help of the right color: if the color of the door and the walls match, then the exit will become part of a single living room space with a TV and will not attract attention. Choose a model without platbands, they will not create extra relief at the edges and will help you complete the main task.

    When installing the door, make sure that it opens easily and does not interfere with free access to and from the living room. If the door intersects with the furniture when you open it and there is no way to avoid this, consider alternative options. Today, models of sliding compartment doors and folding doors-"books" are presented on the market. They are especially good when you have to save usable space.

    See what designers have to offer:

    1. Not the worst design option. When opening the door, you can hit the cabinet doors, but the savings in the space of the apartment are obvious: the door opens inward, and not into the corridor, where there is not too much space anyway.

    2. Unfortunate choice: swinging open, the door blocks the free space. It is better to change direction or choose one of the alternatives described above.

    3. Another bad design option, but now the door “eats up” space not in the living room itself, but in the corridor. If the renovation or layout does not allow for a change of direction, it may be better to install an accordion folding door or sliding doors.

    4. Good location. The door opens without interfering with entry and exit, does not take up much space both in the corridor and in the living room.

    Living room furniture

    Living room furniture . On the one hand, the armchair matches the style of the restrained classic design of the living room. On the other hand, a bright blue color creates the necessary accent, and the interior no longer seems boring.

    Kitchen + living room

    If you have a tiny kitchen and a small living room, try combining them. So you get a spacious and bright kitchen-living room. This option is not suitable for everyone, but recently it has become more and more fans.

    Kitchen-living room design . When placing accents in the interior of a modern kitchen-living room, do not be modest, choose several color shades at once.

    As a result of combining rooms, we will get a space with two windows, which means there will be more light and air here. There will also be a dining area. To choose the right dining table for her, count on a person of at least 70 cm. When there is not enough space for a full-fledged table, options with a folding transforming table or a bar counter will come to the rescue. By the way, the latter can visually separate the kitchen and living areas.

    Ideas for a kitchen-living room

    Bedroom + living room

    The option of combining a living room with a bedroom is less common. This solution is not for everyone. Still, in the bedroom you want privacy, and the living room is a room where guests often visit. It is better to take a closer look at this redevelopment option for young owners of small apartments. Families with twos and threes should avoid this option. Do you want to zone the space without losing lighting and functionality? Use a rack. It will not only divide the room, but also help to place books and souvenirs.

    Bedroom design with living room . See how you can successfully combine the bedroom and living room in a single room. The rack is used for zoning the room.

    Living room + office

    Unless you are a happy owner of a spacious three-room apartment, then most likely you will not be able to allocate a separate room for an office. Most often, the desktop is placed in the living room or bedroom. When choosing a table and its location, be guided by how often it will be needed for work. Remember that a desktop computer requires a more spacious workplace than a laptop (an average of 60-70 cm deep), and also take care of sockets and cable channels in advance, during repairs.

    Living-study design . An example of a project with a bright accent on a chair. A small work table and shelves match the color of the wall and do not draw attention to themselves.

    Take a look at some of the living room desktop options.

    1. If you don't often use your desk for work, it's best to make it invisible through color schemes or zoning. For example, you can choose a countertop in the color of the walls, hide the workplace behind a screen or disguise it with a rack.

    2. If a freelancer needs a large table for a desktop computer, an extended window sill is ideal. The tabletop in the width of the room visually pushes the walls apart. This excellent solution will adjust the proportions of the living room in the form of an elongated rectangle.

    3. For creative people and schoolchildren, a desktop built into a wardrobe is suitable. The hinged door doubles as a table top. Firstly, it is a way to quickly hide the creative mess from prying eyes while maintaining the illusion of cleanliness. Secondly, it is also space saving.

    Work table in the interior

    Air conditioner

    in the living room with TV

    How to position the air conditioner so that it fits well into the interior of the living room? First of all, it is important to place it correctly. Do not hang the air conditioner over a sofa or armchair where people often sit. Just moving it to the far end of the room will not work either: you will have to ditch the wall from the window to the attachment point, and this is quite expensive.

    Air conditioner indoor unit is difficult to fit into the interior. A white air conditioner hanging on a white wall attracts the least attention.

    Most often, the design project involves one of the following options for the location of the air conditioner:

    1. Air conditioning above the front door. Excellent location, although it requires gating for communications.

    2. Indoor unit close to the window. Unlike the first option, you will have to grind less, which means that this option is more economical. The disadvantage is that the cooled air blows on the chair.

    3. The air conditioner is located in the most active area of ​​the room. With this design of a living room with a TV, cold air hits people directly.

    Rosettes

    in the design of the living room

    When you calculate the number and location of sockets, the interior design should already be thought out. At least the position of furniture, appliances and stationary lamps (floor lamps and table lamps). The average number of sockets for a living room with a TV is about 15. Decide where the TV set-top box, game console, sound system will be located. It is convenient to hide sockets behind the TV screen or TV stand. If the design project implies the presence of a fireplace, 2-3 sockets can also be placed behind it. Don't forget the Christmas tree. In the intended place of its installation, there should be enough sockets for electric garlands.

    Lighting

    in the living room

    Light decides! It is from its brightness and shade that our feeling of the room changes: it is cozy, spacious or dark and inhospitable. Consider several options for lighting a living room with a TV for different situations: a relaxing evening, receiving guests, watching a movie.

    Living room lighting . The loft style in the interior of this living room is set by a brick wall, and several lamps of various types support it.

    Luminaires . When choosing lamps, consider the style of the interior. In the design of a living room with a TV, it is fashionable to combine lighting fixtures of different sizes and functionality, united by one style. In the living room, it is best to install three types of lighting (spot, local and intimate), which at the click of a button will turn a bright, bright room for meeting friends into a cozy corner for relaxation.

    Top light . The main type of lighting, the so-called overhead light, is represented by spotlights (they are also called work lights) and a chandelier. A spectacular chandelier can perform not only its main function, but also be an important part of the design, set the accent of your living room interior with a TV.

    Table lamps, floor lamps and sconces - this is the so-called spot light . However, it should be noted that sconces rarely fit into modern design. Try replacing them with a pair of stylish lamps.

    Intimate light . Subdued light elements not only illuminate the room, but create an atmosphere of romance and comfort. If guests stay overnight, then interior garlands with their warm, even light can serve as night lights.

    Candles . The most interesting thing in interior design look large plain candles. However, they can be of different diameters and heights. White color and matte finish is the perfect combo for most living rooms.

    Zoning . The combined rooms are divided into zones not only by shelving and screens. Light often comes to the aid of designers. In the kitchen-living room, be sure to hang a few lamps above the table. This rule works for both the bar counter and the classic dining table. For the working kitchen area, also choose working lighting. Use standard lighting techniques in the living area: a combination of overhead light with local lighting in the form of floor lamps and lamps.
