Hiding all the eye-sores is a good idea. A TV is considered a must for a living room and can be often seen in other rooms – a bedroom, a kitchen, a dining room and so on. Sometimes it breaks the harmony of the space where it is, and hiding it is the only option. So, how to hide a TV with style to keep your room look organic still?
Doors/ Panels
The most popular idea for a wall-mounted TV is having doors or panels that hide it. These panels can be attached to the railing above or can be sliding panels, for example, and bi-fold panels are a popular idea, too. The main point here is how you style these panels or doors to make them cohesive for your interior. Consider your style and color scheme and choose a way to go: barn sliding doors for a rustic interior, an artwork, which is universal for any interior, sleek metal or plywood panels for modern spaces, mirror doors for a glam room or a whole gallery wall of small art or posters. Look around and decide what idea fits your room the best and use it. One more idea here is hiding a TV on the most seen place – including it into your gallery wall. Build up a gallery wall including your TV and fireplace and adding various art to it, so that they look as indispensable part of it. If you can, splurge on a TV that can show art, and that will be an ultimate solution.

Furniture
Hiding a TV in a furniture piece can be trickier but it’s more eye-catchy and more creative. Choose a large buffet, secretary desk or some other storage unit that will become a centerpiece in the space and will hide your TV at the same time. You may also add sliding doors to it or use usual ones or even cover the TV with a screen to raise it when you want to watch something. Another idea is going for a lift cabinet that will raise your TV when you need it and hide it when not – this can be much more difficult to install and to find a proper piece but the result is worth it!
