Electronics can be chic, we promise.
While almost everyone loves to kick back with their favorite television show on screen, many homeowners just don't love the way TVs look in their space. When not integrated properly into the design of a room, they can become an eyesore. Still, no one really wants to do away with them.
The solution? A TV wall that blends style and functionality for a cozy movie night experience, one where you can both enjoy the comfort and aesthetic of your home all while being entertained by what's on your screen.
Regardless of your living room layout, we've rounded up our favorite TV wall ideas for every space. Go for a classic setup above the fireplace or blend your screen into a gallery wall. There's a creative solution for everyone, whether your interior design style is modern, traditional or on the eclectic side.
