It is no secret that dressing a TV wall in a small bedroom is somewhat likened to a game of Tetris with your furniture and yet you are hoping to make your space look stylish. Sounds impossible? Spoiler: It is quite possible. All you have to do is use the correct hacks, a bit of visual balance and perhaps one or two command strips that actually stick. đ
So whether you have to work around corners, or you have the problem of a wall that slightly fits your 32-inch screen, this guide will assist you to make your TV wall look like it was taken out of Pinterest (except it did not cost you your whole pay check). So here goes the first 5 tips that will help you to marry form and function-gorgeously.
1. Mount That TVâSeriously, Do It
Stop wasting surface space. Mount it like a pro.
When you are still positioning your television on top of a dresser or shelf in a small room, then you are missing a golden opportunity. Hanging your TV immediately frees up some space in your room, makes everything look less cluttered, and literally makes the entire TV set even more high-end (pun intended).
Hereâs why this works:
- Creates more usable floor or dresser space
- Gives you flexibility for adding floating shelves below
- Helps center the screen at eye level
Pro tip: Consider a while, tilting wall mount to keep the screen near the wall and yet movable.
Have you ever raised your eyebrows why you see no TVs mounted on hotel rooms? Simply, it is the only common sense in small spaces.
2. Frame It Like Art
No, reallyâyour TV doesnât have to scream âTECH!â
You see what is embarrassing? A giant black piece of paper that is floating all by itself on a white wall. The way to address that is by stylishly putting some frames around your TV. The most convenient of all? Put a gallery around it.
Mix:
- Neutral-toned prints
- Personal photos in matching frames
- Wall sconces or mini shelves
This physically makes the TV part of the decoration, thus it does not appear to be taking over the place. Extra points, in case you have Samsung Frame TV (but even a cheap screen will look fantastic with proper styling).
| Option | Vibe |
|---|---|
| Gallery wall | Casual + artsy |
| Built-in frame | Sleek + intentional |
IMO, when your screen is going to occupy space, then it should earn its place. đşâ¨
3. Use a Floating Shelf Underneath
Itâs storage. Itâs design. Itâs genius.
A BFF of a small bedroom is floating shelves. Particularly beneath your TV that is mounted on a wall, as they serve as both as a technical hub and a decoration platform.
Use them to:
- Hide messy wires (cord covers = lifesavers)
- Hold your streaming device, soundbar, or remotes
- Display books, candles, or cute baskets
Relative small, mind you, you are not going to launch a gift shop đ
Have you ever been in a person room and said to yourself, am I in a small room or what? Because it is so stylish. This is what generally foils them.
4. Lean Into Vertical Decor
When floor space fails you, go up.
Smaller bedrooms also do not offer you so much working area horizontally. Make layers rather than spread things vertically around the TV.
Try:
- Tall, narrow wall shelves
- Vertical art pieces
- Hanging plants from ceiling brackets
This pulls the eye upward and the room seems to be longer and has depth.
And yes, plants are absolutely welcome in yr bedroom, even an easygoing pothos or two in a macram dangling hanger. đ
5. Pick a Bold Backdrop (Accent Wall Alert!)
Want your TV wall to pop? Time for a little drama.
Okay, neutral walls are okay and all⌠but in the case that you want your TV wall to be the focal point intentionally, then be daring and have an accent wall on the wall behind the television. This tip will take the feel of the screen out of last minute addition mode and more into the design mode.
You can try:
- Deep moody colors like navy or charcoal
- Peel-and-stick wallpaper for renters (YES!)
- Wood panels or slats for texture
FYI:Wonders can be done even if you take a black-painted square behind the TV. No pain, no gain.
6. Tuck Away Those Cords (No More Dangling Eyesores)
Cords = visual clutter. And in a small room, clutter = chaos.
We must discuss the elephant in the room which is the TV cords swaying like vines along a tree in the jungle. Not cute. Certainly not in a small area where all details are in focus.
Hereâs how to hide them like a pro:
- Use cord covers painted to match your wall
- Run cables behind a floating shelf or media unit
- Try a recessed cable plate if you’re comfy with light DIY
You heard me, it only takes a few seconds to tidy up the cords and leave your space instantly elevated (even though you still have not made the bed đ¤Ş).
7. Use Multipurpose Furniture Beneath the TV
Because small spaces demand double duty.
Have you enough room under the television to put a small unit? Make it work, to your advantage. Rather than buying a simple console, buy one that multitasks.
Look for:
- Benches with built-in storage
- Dressers that double as media stands
- Slimline desks that can also hold your gadgets
This trick can assist you to get the best utility with no addition of more objects to the scenery, and everything in it looks focused.
| Furniture Type | Function Bonus |
|---|---|
| Dresser | Clothes storage + TV stand |
| Storage bench | Seating + concealed space |
| Wall-mounted desk | Workspace + device shelf |
FYI:In case it is capable of storing your socks and your streaming equipment, it will be in your room.
8. Add Ambient Lighting Around the TV
Yes, your TV wall can glowâand no, it doesnât have to look like a spaceship.
Soft, backlighting or side light on your television is yet another conducive, fashionable feature and one that lowers the strain of your eyes. It is more or less a win-win.
Try one of these:
- LED light strips on the back of your TV
- Picture lights or sconces above the wall
- Smart bulbs in nearby fixtures (set them to âmovie modeâ đ)
It makes the screen-based area much lively and also makes the entire bedroom seem more layered and deliberate.
9. Donât Overcrowd the Wall (Negative Space Is Your Friend)
Sometimes, less = way more.
One is tempted to do too much to a small space assuming that by that way one will make it more enjoyable or intimate. However, filling your TV wall is likely to make the room look quirkier and smaller.
Instead:
- Leave a little breathing room around the TV
- Pick fewer but larger decor elements (one large framed print > five tiny ones)
- Avoid overly busy wallpapers or gallery walls that compete with the screen
Have you ever entered a room and were able to breathe due to lack of congestion there? That is the strength of deliberate whitespace.
10. Personalize the Space Without Going Overboard
Let your style showâjust not all at once đ .
Did I say the TV is not working? In your room it is also first-ranker. It must be something that shows your visual preferences, not merely what appears as a black rectangle applied to an unadorned wall.
Try adding:
- A small shelf with favorite books or keepsakes
- Framed album art or posters that match your vibe
- A textured wall hanging for a bit of softness and depth
This gives life to your room- without cluttering or creating a chaotic appearance on the wall.
đ§ Bonus Tip: Mirror Opposite the TV for Depth
Put a mirror in front of a wall facing the television (something you probably will not be doing much with anyway). It is reflective, it increases depth and it may even make your small room feel twice as big.
And it does not even mention it gives you an additional reason to look at the way you are dressed before binge-watching another show in bed. Win-win.
Final Thought: Big Style, Tiny Footprint
It is possible to make a TV wall in your tiny bedroom that will be not only functional but absolutely Insta-friendly. It is just a matter of striking that balance between smart space design and individual style.
Then go ahead and put up that screen, furnish with purpose, and hold steadily in mind: You have never a big room unless you have big style.
