Oct 17, 2022 · Go Full-On Gallery. Right off the bat, putting your TV up against a dark wall like Savannah and Mike did in their Montreal home is smart if you want the black hole to disappear a little bit. It falls further into the background thanks to the robust collection of art gathered around the screen. Should you want to try this at home, it’s best to ...

Sep 5, 2023 · ‘Ask yourself why you are considering putting artwork above the TV: if you want to make a wall-mounted TV less of a focal point, consider arranging frames on either side to make a triptych,' says Homes & Gardens content editor Zara Stacey. 'Surrounding the screen with artwork definitely makes the TV feel more integrated into your space.

- Layer the Mantel With Art. “I like to integrate wall-mounted TVs into the rest of the room by surrounding them with art, so that the TV becomes a part of a larger gallery wall,” says interior designer Erin Williamson.
- Turn It Into Off-Duty Art. Cuban-born, Florida-based interior designer Maite Granda chose a Frame TV mounted in a custom built-in wall unit. The beachy scene looks like a photograph when not in use that complements the setting and overall design.
- Distract With Wallpaper. For better or worse, placing a flat screen above the fireplace has become the modern equivalent of hanging an antique mirror or oil painting over the hearth.

Today we’ll be discussing some mistakes that many homeowners make when trying to integrate a television into their design scheme. The most common TV wall mistakes people make are usually related in some way to scale, distance or proportion. We’re going to look at all that and more!
The goal here is to blend your TV into the decor. For example, integrating your TV into a gorgeous built-in is great! There’s nothing wrong with drawing attention to a media center if it’s a really beautiful piece of design. But big, bulky entertainment centers are usually not beautiful pieces of design; they are meant to be practical, but often ju...
I think we’ve all seen this old chestnut enough to safely say: it’s time for us to never see this TV stand, or any derivative of it, ever again. It’s possibly one of the saddest looking TV stands I’ve ever seen. Sure, you can put it in a boardroom or something, but it has no place in anyone’s living room.
There is nothing more visually jarring than a TV jutting out from the sides of a wall. So, let’s say you move into your new home and there is only one logical spot to place the TV in the living room. And that spot happens to be a piece of wall (or section of your fireplace) that is only 40″ wide. This means that your 50″ TV is *not* going to look g...
Ahh, another classic. The general rule of thumb for TV height is that the center of your screen should be positioned at eye level or just below. You don’t want to be craning your neck upward to be watching TV for extended periods of time. That being said, if you have a very, very big room, you *can* afford to hang the TV higher up, because your sea...
Anyone can see that the image above is pretty silly. 😂 But is it always that obvious when your TV is too big for your console or TV stand? Nope! Otherwise it wouldn’t be such a common mistake. I recommend getting a console that is at least a few inches wider than the width of your TV (on both sides!). It’s important to remember that TVs are measur...
If you’re thinking of hanging a gallery wall around your TV, it’s a great idea! Just make sure you plan out how it’s going to look before taking to the hammer and nails. It’s easy to imagine something in your head, but when you go to execute, it doesn’t exactly turn out the way you’d imagined it. Happens to us all! If you’re going to place artwork ...
There is a lot of debate over what the “correct” distance should be between TV and the sofa. There are some guidelines certainly that one can follow, but it really boils down to personal preference. To read some of the different opinions on the matter, you can check out these articles, which present very reasonable, sound arguments. 1. PC MAG – How...
Over the past decade and a half or so, fear has been created around hanging a TV over the fireplace. This used to be true with plasma TVs, but plasma technology isn’t really used anymore. Generally, you can very safely hang your TV over the fireplace. The only thing you need to make sure of is that the temperature of the area below the TV stays und...
Ok I’ll admit that full motion and extendable tv arms can be super handy, but they are also super ugly. 🤣 Having your giant TV hanging midair is not a great look. Ideally, your television’s wall mount is as invisible as possible. But if you must resort to using one of those TV arms, at least try to use the least visually invasive one you can find....
- The very best way to decorate around a flat screen TV is to mount it. This way you can really make it look like it belongs up there with the artwork.
- Layer art behind it. This way the attention is way more on the art than on the black object on the console. The best way to do this is to spend some time collecting artwork that you love.
- Balance the black TV with a black console underneath. Then it will feel more like an accessory. And you can keep the artwork lighter all around it if the black is already repeated by the furniture underneath it.
- This is a good way to make a bigger TV look intentional. And, less like your husband (or wife) won over you 😉 Keep it alone on the wall above the console or shelf and hang another shelf above it.
Mar 20, 2024 · Layer artwork. Emily Henderson. Layering artwork behind your TV is essentially a variation on the gallery wall theme we discussed above. If your TV is on a stand, you can also layer the artwork partially behind the TV – it integrates the TV even more into the gallery wall. 7. Use Shelves. Sanus.
