20 TV Wall Ideas That Blend Seamlessly With Your Décor

These TV wall ideas are as practical as they are stylish.

Life Created, Living with Lolo

TVs are found in practically every home across the country—and are utilized on a near-daily basis—and yet they remain one of the trickier elements to design around. After all, you want a space that feels cohesive and calming, and this piece of technology tends to create friction with unsightly cords and its clunky silhouette. To ease the design friction, it’s important to get intentional about how your TV is integrated into your gathering space. The designer-approved TV wall ideas we’re showcasing here can help you do exactly that.

You can make your TV installation feel more intentional by placing it within a recessed area. This design by Maestri Studio features storage cabinets all around, with a floating shelf above the TV that matches the lower shelf.

There's a quiet rule in design that says you shouldn't put your TV above the fireplace, but rules are allowed to be broken! In this living room design by Truss Interiors, the best place for the TV was on the fireplace wall, where it looks chic outlined in a wooden frame.

Life Created, Living with Lolo

A quick way to make your TV melt into the background is to paint your wall the exact same color as the screen. A black accent wall reads as modern and edgy in this design by Living with Lolo—not overtly moody or mysterious—and helps conceal the TV when it's not being used.

Want your TV to disappear when it's not turned on? Add a sliding panel to a bookcase that easily moves back and forth to cover the TV as needed. Melinda Kelson O'Connor Architecture & Interiors opted for a framed sketch of a bird nest in this design.

Become Legendary, House of One

Place your TV against an accent wall, like the stone variation seen in this modern design by House of One. It frames the TV in a striking way that feels cool and sophisticated. You could also play with wallpaper or paint to create a similar effect.

Consider installing a wall-to-wall string shelving unit to maximize storage potential and give your TV a dedicated spot in the living room. The upper shelving provides tons of space for decor or books, while the cabinetry below is a great place to keep items organized and out of sight.

Est Est Interior Design

To really highlight your TV and help it feel intentionally placed, surround it with a beautiful custom frame. Because the frame's completely custom, it works whether your home has a Southwestern aesthetic, like this space created by Est Est Interior Design, is ultra-modern, or more eclectic.

Sometimes, less is more, as proven in this contemporary living room design filled with neutral tones. A creamy beige credenza with subtle texture sits directly underneath a large flat-screen TV, offering a low-key, streamlined effect.

If you've got a stone feature wall, maybe part of a fireplace or simply as an accent wall, consider it a potential destination for your TV. It creates a cool backdrop for your tech. In this space, Forge & Bow created contrast with two crisp white built-in bookshelves on either side.

Shawn Kallio, Keri Michelle Interiors

Wallpaper instantly lends contrast to a space, as you can see in this beautiful living room designed by Keri Michelle Interiors. The team inserted a blue wallpaper with subtle texture into the recessed bookshelves sitting on either side of the TV. Note how the floating shelves match the mantle for more continuity.

Michelle Zacks Design

Instead of an entirely recessed shelving unit, consider only recessing the spot where your TV will live. Michelle Zacks Design did that in this refined living room and also opted for the black-on-black effect for a more streamlined look.

Tri-Pointe Homes

A mounted TV sitting above a credenza works across a multitude of interior design aesthetics. To help the wall look more intentionally designed—and to add some contrast—add two pieces of matching artwork on either side. Tri-Pointe Homes opted for neutral watercolor prints in this design.

Est Est Interior Design

Keep your TV wall ultra modern by leaning into the floating shelves trend. In this office space by Est Est Interior Design, the TV's in good company with a floating console underneath and a floating cabinet on its left side.

Auberge Resorts Collection

Here's another example of how you can hide your TV when it's not in use. This setup includes a slim bar mounted to the wall with a piece of art that easily glides back and forth as needed to conceal the TV.

The TV looks perfectly at home in this earthy living room designed by Maestri Studio. It sits within a recessed built-in shelving unit complete with upper and lower cabinets and a panel of shelving.

Imani at Home

A gallery wall is the perfect addition to any maximalist's home. Why not weave your TV into the mix? Here, Imani at Home set her TV above a thrifted dresser and surrounded it with an array of art in varied frames.

Those who find themselves drawn to the dark academic aesthetic can take their TV wall inspiration from this striking design by Maestri Studio.

Life Created, Living with Lolo

In this sophisticated living room designed by Living with Lolo, the TV is positioned on an accent wall and flanked by three floating shelves on either side. The symmetry creates a sense of planned cohesion.

Does your family have a hard time deciding what to put on the TV? Or are you a gaming house with a need for multiple screens? Whatever the case, there's no rule that says you can only have one. Truss Interiors opted for three in this living room: one primary TV with two smaller TVs on either side.
