Tv Design Ideas – We’re willing to bet that at least one room in your home has a large wall-mounted television, if not more. So how do you get a large black TV that matches the rest of your interior? There are several different options. You can mask the TV with artwork, hide your TV completely, or embrace the look with strategic designs.
Whatever direction you take with your TV wall – we will help you. Check out some of our favorite ways to decorate your TV (because you know we’re not giving up our HBO shows!) along with some insight from interior designer Janelle Patton.
Tv Design Ideas
Turn your TV into a work of art by surrounding it with framed art or photos. The asymmetrical arrangement of this TV wall by @our.home.on.greenleaf is filled with vintage pieces in a dark color palette. The decor on top of the TV cabinet helps to ground the wall display.

What we think: “Balance is key!” says Patton. “Think of your TV as another frame and mix and match different art mediums, frame sizes and styles to create an eclectic yet balanced look.”
To recreate this chic TV wall by @designwithalyssa, embrace the big black rectangle instead of fighting it. A TV can look distracting in an all-white room, so create visual balance by adding other black elements, such as the coffee table and sofa cushions. A floating shelf with limited accessories adds interest without cluttering the wall.
What we like about it: The black and white interior never goes out of style, and the TV blends seamlessly with the two-tone decor.
Before hanging the TV, install the tongue and groove panel on the wall. This will add texture and create a feature wall focal point. After installing paneling on this TV wall by @hausofcruze, she painted it a soft sage green; try Benjamin Moore’s Aganthus Green for a similar look.
Budget Friendly Tv Wall Unit Design
What we like about it: The greenery around the TV gives the space a fresh and clean look. Indoor plants make everything better!
A built-in entertainment center like this one from @mydivinehome creates an intentional home for your TV that adds to the design of the room rather than distracting. The cabinets hide unsightly media equipment, while the shelves hide decorative accessories. Beauty and function in one!
What we like about it: Custom builds are super expensive, but we love that this DIY project uses unfinished cabinets and wood. You can also tackle a similar project with an IKEA hack.
If you lack the budget or space for a media cabinet, hang a shelf around your TV instead, as seen here in this setup from @interiors.by.bec. Rustic wooden boards and plants create a more organic space, making the black TV more pleasing to the eye. With open shelving, there are fewer opportunities to hide things, so hide TV cables for the best look.
Placing A Tv Over Your Fireplace: Design Ideas
What we like about it: White walls and a simple carpet help balance the various accessories and layers of texture on the TV shelves.
Hanging the TV above the fireplace is a common placement that works well because the shape of the opening balances the look. To take this idea even further, install reclaimed wood in the fireplace, like in this beautiful living room from @shannontateinteriors.
What we like about it: The light wood provides a welcome contrast to the black TV and fireplace and brings a beautiful natural element to the room’s overall design.
Sometimes it is nice to hide the TV completely when not in use. This smart TV wall project features slide artwork that opens with a remote control! Art is fixed on a track located inside the floating boards and works with a belt and pulley. Plus, you can turn off the drawing if you need a change.

What we like about it: “If youare not ready to watch your TV, go the incognito route,” says Patton. “It’s like your TV plays hide and seek, disappearing when not in use and magically appearing when it’s movie time.”
Many of us aren’t lucky enough to have a real fireplace in our home to hang a TV on, but this project by @accentwalldesigns offers a solution. The vessel’s pull-out panel contains an electric heater – creating the perfect cozy TV spot and attractive focal point.
What we like about it: The dark blue color helps camouflage the TV so it’s not such a stark departure from the rest of the decor.
A floating shelf under your TV can visually anchor a wall arrangement and display decorative accessories and artwork. This shelf by @francois_et_moi looks simple, but it also hides multiple cables and runs them into one standard outlet with a cutout, grommet and extension cord.

What we like about it: A floating shelf instead of a TV cabinet is a great option for small homes where floor space is limited.
Here is another example of a television that has been killed as a work of art. In this mood room by @rustandtrust, two antique-style mirrors flank the TV. Complete with a large black media cabinet and luxury fixtures, it’s a cozy and elegant room with not even a recognizable television.
What we like about it: A large black media cabinet balances the large TV and dark mirrors. Sometimes big and bold is the best choice!
The best TV for a gallery wall like this one from Lark Interiors is The Frame TV from Samsung. Available in a variety of colors, the frame shows art with a matte screen when your TV is off and hangs flush with the wall; so it looks like another piece of beautifully arranged artwork instead of a big black rectangle.

What we love about it: “Samsung Frame TV is like dressing up your TV in a tuxedo—sleek, stylish and effortlessly chic,” says Patton.
Make your own wooden frame for your TV. This one from @kristinmariehome adds warmth and looks more like a work of art.
Here’s how to make your own: Cut a 1×2-in. pine boards to the length and height of your TV, then cut the corners at a 45 degree angle. Use wood glue to glue the corners together, hold them in place with corner clamps and let dry overnight. Fill all the holes with wood filler, then sand and stone.
What we like about it: This DIY frame is an affordable alternative to the expensive Samsung Frame TV.
20 Tv Wall Ideas That Blend Seamlessly With Your Décor
Believe it or not, this impressive modern TV wall from @Robinsons.Reno was a DIY project made from medium density fiberboard (MDF), vertical wooden slats, LED strips and cabinets from IKEA! You can see part of the process here.
What we like about it: Wall features like these highlight your TV and make it a beautiful focal point rather than an unattractive piece of tech.
Traditional paneling with boards and molding is another way to decorate your TV wall with your own hands. This one from @leojoseph.b looks sleek and elegant while providing an interesting background for the TV. Complete the look with a simple media cabinet and decorative accessories.
What we like about it: This is a high-impact look made with materials that cost less than $100!

A well-thought-out TV wall can make all the difference in movie nights (nothing beats a widescreen movie experience) while also serving practical life needs.
TV screens can sometimes be an eyesore when turned off, even more so when there are unsightly wires or cables to be seen that spoil the aesthetics. However, there are some smart and stylish TV wall ideas (which you can check out below) that will help you hide your TV or seamlessly integrate it into your living space. Although it certainly helps that technology has also evolved in recent years and TVs can now become works of art – a prime example being the Samsung Frame – which turns your TV into a picture frame when not in use.
A current choice is the media wall, which allows you to mount a flat screen TV on the wall to display other media, including speakers, game consoles and turntables. Usually, but not always, a media wall is placed over an existing fireplace or inserted with a new fireplace. Ask for expert advice on installation, stud walls and electrical. Media walls are also a great storage solution as they keep all your entertainment devices in one place. Media walls can take up a lot of space, but they are adaptable so they can work in more compact rooms with the right design. However, they are expensive, with installation prices ranging from £2,000 to £4,000 according to Checkatrade.
14 Ideas For How To Decorate A Tv Wall
A more popular idea for a TV wall is to embed the TV in a built-in cabinet. “Incorporating your TV into a unit allows the technology to blend into the scheme of the room so the TV is not the focal point of the room,” says Natalie Murray-Hurst, interior designer.
