How to Design a TV Area in the Living Room: 7 Great Ideas from Our Projects

The wall behind the TV can be not only stylish but also functional and very original. We've compiled a selection of projects where designers applied unconventional solutions for decorating the TV area in the living room.

TV in a niche with an electric fireplace

The built-in niche was custom-made according to the designer's sketches. This allowed for maximum efficient use of the small space and visually 'dissolved' the furniture into the room's volume. Bookshelves were placed above the TV, and storage spaces and a small electric fireplace were arranged in the lower sections.

Vibrant TV area with a wine cabinet

The kitchen and living room form a unified space. Therefore, all storage is divided into zones. In the TV area, there is a tall open wine cabinet and several levels of console tables arranged in a geometric composition. The wall behind the TV was decorated with terracotta color as an accent.

Combination of restrained strictness and comfort

For the wall behind the TV, the designer used large-format black ceramic granite and decorative wood-like strips. Ceramic granite adds depth and strictness to the interior, while wood creates a sense of comfort.

Stylish TV area in appetizing tones

The apartment owner has many things, so the designers were tasked with placing everything and not cluttering the space. Storage systems in the living room are a carefully considered detail of the interior, seamlessly integrated into the overall concept. The TV and floating console were installed in the space formed between the cabinets.

Modern monochrome TV area

The wall behind the TV was decorated with microcement plaster in a concrete finish — this is practical and eye-catching. The plaster is easy to clean and harder to damage than white walls. A solid wooden console adds warmth to the strict atmosphere.

TV 'embedded' in a plant wall

In the living room TV area, a floating console was designed that continues behind the fireplace in the form of a suspended module with a wine cabinet. The main decor consists of indoor plants and vertical panels made from moss, which are incorporated into the rhythmic grid of panels.
