Today, the television has become the focal point for most family rooms.
 
But, after many hours of decorating, you’re not keen on the TV taking over the room - here are a few tips on how to blend the box into the decor.
 
1. Fresh frames
Mount a sharp-looking frame around the screen to lend the TV a touch of style and sophistication. Add a coat of paint to the frame to brighten up the black screen during off hours. You can visit antique shop for a weathered frame, shop craft store sales for the right fit, or simply build your own.
 
2. Eclectic mix
If your television is just one of the many things you like to look at on the wall, why not add it to a whole eclectic round-up of art pieces? Mount shelves and framed prints on the wall, including photography, watercolors, and quirky frames you can brighten up with a pop of colour. Then, add in the TV as if the square shape is just another piece of work to fit into the mix.
 
3. Classic built-ins
If you don’t want the house television to dominate the whole living room, consider incorporating it into a classic wall of built-in shelving  Televisions come in standard sizes, so even if you upgrade to that new smart TV, you’ll be able to switch it out easily assuming you don’t take a huge leap in size. Baskets, drawers, and shelving camouflage components.
 
 
4. TVs and fireplaces
It’s grown popular to mount the television over a fireplace mantle, but always check with the manufacturer that it’s safe to place your set there.
 
5. Hidden TV
Maybe you don’t use the television often. Or, you want it out of the way to encourage conversation. To solve each of these design problems, you can mount a panel on sliding doors to obscure your TV while you’re not watching your favourite show. You can also recess the television into the wall and mount a photo on a hinge to hide it.
