A TV is not an eye sore but sometimes it really doesn’t look cohesive in the space. In such cases most of designer solutions about TVs can be divided into 2 categories: hiding it or on the contrary, highlighting it. Today’s roundup will show you both ways to style a room with a TV and I’m sure that everyone will find a proper solution here.
How To Hide A TV?
Panels and doors are suitable for hiding your TV, and the main advantage is that when you aren’t using the TV, you’ll get beautiful décor and dramatic textures. You can either make a focal point of these panels or doors or not attract attention to them. The doors or panels can just open or even fold if it’s more comfortable for you. You may try to make panels and doors look like part of the wall to make the look as cohesive as possible.
Another idea is placing your TV inside a storage unit or shelving unit and adding some doors. A very creative way to go is to put a TV inside a chic vintage storage unit, a buffet or something like that. Modern shelving units taking part of the wall or the whole wall are also welcome, and the doors or sliding panels will hide your TV. You may also cover your TV on the wall with an artwork or even a macrame or fabric piece with some decor – such an idea fits a boho space.

How To Make A TV Cohesive?

Pre-Made Solutions
You don’t always need to go fully custom—there are plenty of pre-made solutions out there that can save you time and money while still delivering that sleek, hidden look. These ready-made options are perfect if you want to keep things simple and stylish. However, they would be pricey.
TV Lift Cabinet
If you’re into gadgets (and who isn’t?), a motorized TV lift is the ultimate wow factor. These systems allow your TV to disappear into a cabinet, the ceiling, or even the floor at the push of a button. And the best part? You don’t have to worry about unsightly wires or mounting brackets ruining your room’s aesthetic.
Mirror TVs
Such TV is like the James Bond of home decor—sleek, functional, and a little bit mysterious. When it’s off, it’s just a mirror reflecting the room, adding elegance and light. It’s a clever way to keep your screen hidden until you need it.
Built-In Cabinets
Custom cabinetry is like the unsung hero of hidden TV solutions. I’ve seen some gorgeous designs where the cabinetry blends seamlessly with the room’s decor—no one would even guess a TV is tucked away in there. You can go with traditional hinged doors, sliding panels, or even retractable doors that tuck away neatly when open.
