If there’s a TV in a living room, it usually serves as the center of the little interior universe. But who said that the talking box should dominate your décor? With some thoughtful design, you can easily turn the area around it into a stylish and attention-grabbing part of your home. From mounting shelves to display your own artworks to hanging world map for wall with pins to track your wildest adventures – there’s always something you can do to add a pinch of life to that dull wall.
Do a Simple Wall Mount
They say, less is more, which means painting the wall your favorite color and mounting a single TV will do. Not only will you eliminate clutter, but you will also keep your space minimalistic and airy – a perfect sanctuary to unwind after a long day.
Showcase Your Intellectual Aptness
Books, ladies and gentlemen! Get a shelving unit and add all of your favorite literary works with contrasting colors of covers for an inviting look. Thus, you will have a stylish décor and a constant reminder that it is time to turn the TV off and dive into the world of printed letters.
TV + Vintage Mix
Vintage and devices look good together. If you have the latest version of a TV, we recommend softening the tech blow using symmetrical framed prints mixed with a light wood backdrop. Thus, you’ll add warmth to the room while making the gadget less overpowering as you binge-watch your favorite television shows.
Use Wallpapers as a Distraction
If you decided to go the traditional way and mouth the TV above the fireplace, we recommend transforming the wall behind it into a hook. Pick bold and colorful wallpaper that will do the 2-in-1 job: adorn the interior and distract the eye from the TV when it is off.
Make It Disappear When Not in Use
All fans of minimalism should consider the following options:
- TVs that double as works of art when they’re off. For example, Samsung Frame simply picks images from a library of artwork. All you have to do is hang it on the wall, add a decorative frame, and there you go – the ugly gadget transforms into a sophisticated work of art, adding life to the interior.
- Barn doors or custom sliding panels placed over the screen will hide the TV when not in use, adding more comfort to the space.
- Two-way mirrors. Designed glass panels look like conventional mirrors when the device is off. However, they allow the screen to shine through when it’s on. Thus, during those TV-free moments, your setting will remain aesthetically pleasing.
As you can see, no matter what you choose to do with the telly, the goal is to create a space where the gadget integrates with your décor. And the best part – it can serve as both the center or that very cherry on top in your design story. It’s time to Netflix and chill!
