Wall with a TV: design ideas
In almost every home, television is the place where the whole family gathers for a pleasant pastime in the company of famous actors and an interesting story. And such an important detail of the interior deserves to be properly designed for her place. And here the main thing is that nothing distracts and interferes with contemplating interesting paintings flickering on a blue screen.
In fact, there can be only two options for placing the TV: either it will stand on a table or stand, or it will be attached to the wall. And it is logical that the center of attention in the room will be the wall, which will have a TV. And to implement it is quite easy. The easiest way is color, the option is more expensive - finishing material, and the most expensive, but at the same time original - this is a multi-level drywall construction with backlighting with an interesting finish. And you need to choose a design option based on the premises. Let's look at some of the most popular options.
TV in the living room above the fireplace
For a long time, the well-known truth says that you can look at fire forever, but obviously this phrase was invented even before the television was invented.
The fireplace as the main accent of the living room is a classic version of the interior design and at first glance it might seem that the TV does not have a place in a somewhat old and aristocratic setting. And so that the huge plasma panel does not get out of the picture, it is necessary to choose the right color scheme and location for it. And the place for her above the fireplace, because in this way you can combine the two main elements that will create an excellent tandem. Why not? Who said that these two miracles of invention cannot be combined, creating an excellent composition that can give joy to all members of the household.
To combine these two fundamentally different elements, you should try very hard to make them look the same, otherwise one of them will attract more attention.
It should be noted right away that the idea of arranging a real wood fireplace is suitable only for a private house. But in an apartment it is better to give preference to an artificial hearth.
As for the stylistic design, the main thing here is not to overdo it, since both of these objects are very bright and massive in themselves. The design of the entire room should be as simple as possible with clear, clear lines and color contrasts so that the composition does not seem heavy and oversaturated. Restraint is the main rule for a competent and harmonious interior, in which it is necessary to combine a fireplace and a TV.
TV as the main focus of the living room
It is clear that there is a TV in every house, and often it is located precisely in the recreation area in the living room. But how beautifully fit it into the interior?
Any experienced designer will tell you that there can be plenty of options. As a budget design can be wall murals, or wallpaper with a texture or color that differs from the main walls. And more expensive solutions include wood panels, decorative cladding with stone or brick, as well as 3d panels.
At the same time, the decoration of the accent wall of the room can fundamentally differ both in color and texture and create a mood, and, conversely, be a restrained black and white background for bright decorative elements and grandiose pieces of furniture.
For lovers of calm interiors, it is even easier to enter the plasma panel in the living room, for this it is enough to choose the right combination of neutral colors, without forgetting about the black elements that will be combined with the TV.
It can be furniture, paintings, color of the floor or individual sections of the wall. You can also use several combinations at once, however, you need to be prepared for the fact that a space with an abundance of dark shades will be too contrasting and even somewhat gloomy, while an abundance of light shades will give the room lightness and space.
The play of color in the interior
It is also worth noting that when decorating a wall to accommodate a TV, you can use simple rules for combining various elements. For example, if the TV is installed on a wooden panel of a natural warm shade, and the entire room, including the decoration of the walls, floor, ceiling and furniture is made in a neutral uniform color, then a few more details supporting the wooden panel should be entered in such an interior. Great for this purpose are sofa cushions, a pair of ottomans or curtains on the windows.
You can play with color in space using any interior details, for example, the upholstery of a sofa will perfectly emphasize the finish of a niche in the wall where the plasma panel will be located, just like a glossy coffee table made of black glass will create an excellent combination.
Plasterboard constructions and TV
It is not necessary to write off the well-known drywall constructions, with which you can create an excellent place for plasma. With this design, it’s a sin not to use the backlight, which will add its own flavor to the interior and will not only enhance the lighting of the living room on public holidays, but also create a cozy atmosphere with dim lights. From this material it is enough to simply create a niche in the wall or vice versa a ledge for the TV.
TV among shelves and cabinets
A TV mounted in a furniture wall is a great idea for those who want to make their living room not only comfortable for relaxation, but also functional. So, for example, a plasma panel can easily be placed in a composition of bookshelves symmetrically located around it. With this move, it is possible that even the impressive size of the panel will become a secondary detail of the interior. This is a great idea for connoisseurs of classics when you want the fireplace, which was mentioned earlier, to remain in the center of attention of the living room.
The blue screen can also be placed among the cabinets of the furniture wall. Lovers of minimalism should appreciate this option. There are no shelves and small details, but only a wall with doors clearly divided into sections on a special mechanism that allows you to save the facades from handles for opening. A minimum of color contrasts and small details will make the interior ideal.
TV among the paintings
Perhaps the easiest way to decorate a wall in any room is to hang a picture on it. And why not include a television in this composition? Just keep in mind that the biggest picture that will be used in this design should not be more than half the plasma screen. Hanging pictures is best done semmetrically from the TV, and under it you can place a chest of drawers or a large pedestal. Instead of paintings, you can use family photos or small hanging sculptures.
Instead of a conclusion
Summing up, we can say that the TV is easy to fit into any interior, regardless of style. Through a combination of colors, various shelves, cabinets, paintings and decorative elements, the TV will not get out of the overall picture of the room and will become its integral part.
