That clunky black rectangle on the wall of your bedroom does not have to cry out as loudly as to say I gave up on interior design. I have come to this conclusion after spending months and gazing at my wall-mounted TV, and wondering why exactly my otherwise stylish bedroom is so… naked. It turns out that you can stuff your TV into useful wall art converting the bedroom eyesore into a design feature.
The secret is to hide your TV (isn’t admitting we all secretly want those night time Netflix). Rather than hiding the screen, these ten TV wall bedroom design ideas showcase the screen while transforming it into sensational centerpiece points that bring your entire space round together with more deliberate, refined elegance.

Gallery Wall Integration
Asymmetrical Art Arrangements Around TV
The discerning choice of artwork to surround your TV creates the effect of a polished gallery wall and makes the corresponding display seem purposeful in place instead of obstructive. I experimented in my master bedroom combining family snapshots with abstract prints, and all of a sudden, the TV stopped being an irruption to the design narrative but it became a part of it.
The key lies in asymmetrical balance:
- Place larger pieces on one side to offset the TV’s visual weight
- Mix different frame sizes and colors for visual interest
- Leave appropriate spacing to prevent overcrowding
- Choose artwork that complements rather than competes with the screen
Hot tip: First draw on paper your layout. I found this out when I tried drilling too many holes in my wall attempting to get the spacing correct 🙂
Floating Shelves with Decor Objects
Floating shelves on the sides of your TV give you the space to place decorative items whilst offering a balance of the image. In my bedroom, I hung two 24-inch floating shelves on the sides of my TV and I just can not get enough styling on them.
Smart shelf styling includes:
- Books arranged both vertically and horizontally
- Small plants that thrive in bedroom lighting
- Decorative boxes that hide remotes and cables
- Personal mementos that make the space feel authentic
The shelves fill the emptiness of the walls but at the same time offer a practical storage of the bedroom essentials.
Built-in Entertainment Centers
Custom Millwork Solutions
The entertainment centers are built-in and this results to the smooth transition that leaves your TV looking that it fits. The same happened when I was renovating my bedroom and I indulged in custom mill work on and around the TV unit and it totally changed the level of sophistication in the place.
Built-ins offer several advantages:
- Hide unsightly cables and equipment
- Provide coordinated storage for bedroom items
- Create architectural interest in plain rooms
- Increase home value through permanent improvements
DIY Built-in Alternatives
No room in the budget to do custom millwork? IKEA built-in alternatives or even floating shelves cost a fraction and have quite the same effect as the built-in bookshelves. I have witnessed some of the most brilliant uses of white IKEA units out there, which once in place professionally look completely made to order.
Budget-friendly built-in tricks:
- Paint everything the same color for cohesive appearance
- Add crown molding for finished look
- Install LED strip lighting for ambient glow
- Use cable management solutions for clean lines
| Option | Cost Range | Installation Time |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Built-in | $2,000-$5,000 | 2-3 days |
| DIY Alternative | $300-$800 | 1 weekend |
Statement Wallpaper and Paint
Accent Wall Behind TV
Striking wallpaper or a paint behind your TV makes an immediate drama marking the area of entertainment. My TV wallpaper is deep navy grasscloth, and it makes the whole bedroom feel fancier and less accidental.
Accent wall considerations:
- Choose colors that complement your TV’s black frame
- Consider texture for added visual interest
- Ensure the pattern doesn’t compete with screen content
- Plan for proper wall preparation and installation
Accent wall strategy is especially successful in bedrooms since proximity and homelike conditions allow people to relax.
Geometric Paint Patterns
Manifested by a geometric application of painted patterns, this is a high-impact design that does not generate the expense of wallpaper and the commitment that operates. I completed an elaborate chevron stripe pattern behind the TV in my guest bedroom using two shades of gray, and this impression has made my visitors admire this personalized effect.
Popular geometric options include:
- Horizontal stripes to make walls appear wider
- Vertical stripes for height emphasis
- Subtle chevron patterns for movement
- Color blocking for contemporary appeal
Wood Feature Walls
Reclaimed Wood Backgrounds
A distance of wood planks that have been reclaimed in the back of your TV will add warmth and texture that will not make the bedroom look cold and sterile. I used weathered barn wood as a background behind my TV and it has the rustic feel but it remains uber.
Wood wall benefits include:
- Natural texture that softens electronic elements
- Warm tones that complement most bedroom color schemes
- Sound absorption properties for better acoustics
- Easy installation over existing drywall
Vertical Wood Slat Designs
The traditional paneling has the contemporary replacement in the form of modern vertical wood slats. The style produces straight lines and gives it a natural warmth, which evens out the technological appeal of the TV.
Slat wall advantages:
- Creates vertical lines that make ceilings appear higher
- Provides subtle texture without overwhelming patterns
- Works with both light and dark wood tones
- Offers opportunities for integrated lighting
Lighting Integration
LED Strip Backlighting
Strip lights behind your television will add a modern touch that is ambient light adding zest to your TV viewing, without added eye strain. I put in color-changing LED strips behind my bedroom television, and it is much easier to watch TV in the evening time.
LED lighting benefits:
- Reduces harsh contrast between bright screen and dark room
- Creates atmosphere for romantic or relaxing moods
- Available in various colors and brightness levels
- Energy-efficient and long-lasting
Sconce Lighting Placement
Putting wall sconces on the sides of your TV will allow you to have practical lighting as well as some symmetrical balance. I selected swing-arm sconces, which can be used both to watch TV and to read in bed- the two functions which the bedrooms are in such urgent need of.
Sconce placement guidelines:
- Install at appropriate height for both functions
- Choose styles that complement bedroom decor
- Consider swing-arm or adjustable options
- Ensure adequate electrical planning during installation
For the record, hardwired sconces are more refined than plug-in varieties, and may involve some do-it-yourself wiring that is beyond your comfort zone.
Minimalist Approaches
Clean, Uncluttered Mounting
It is not always that more is better. When hung on a clean and well-painted wall where there is nothing much that can capture the attention, it is sophisticated simplicity. I have applied this in one of my guest rooms and the smooth lines makes the small room appear bigger and more calmer.
Minimalist mounting success factors:
- Professional installation for perfect alignment
- Proper cable management to hide all wires
- Appropriate wall color that complements the TV
- Strategic furniture placement below the screen
Hidden Cable Management
The invisible cable managements have made amateur television mounting to be professional looking. I also bought the right cables management cable and the neat look of the place made a considerable implication in the simplicity of the whole room.
Cable management options:
- In-wall cable runs for permanent solutions
- Decorative cord covers for rental-friendly options
- Furniture with built-in cable management
- Wireless streaming to minimize cord requirements
Mixed Media Wall Treatments
Combining Wood, Metal, and Fabric
Combined materials are used to develop the elaborate texture that adds a sense of purpose and designed TV walls. I used wood planks and metal features and fabric panels to make this a feature wall that easily photographs beautifully and feels custom made.
Material mixing guidelines:
- Choose complementary rather than matching finishes
- Maintain consistent color palette across materials
- Consider scale and proportion for balanced appearance
- Plan installation sequence for best results
Textured Wall Panels
And three-dimensional wall panels serve to create architectural interest in addition to serving as a backdrop to your TV. The effects produced by these panels are the shadows and light which adds to the depth without dominating the content of the screen.
Panel options include:
- Acoustic panels that improve sound quality
- Decorative MDF panels for budget-friendly texture
- Natural fiber panels for organic appeal
- Custom geometric designs for unique character
Plants and Natural Elements
Living Wall Concepts
Plants integrated with your screen incorporate the life and freshness in the entertainment area. I made a kind of living wall with planters on both sides of my TV and they give the harsh edges of the technology a gorgeous softness.
Plant selection considerations:
- Choose varieties that thrive in bedroom lighting conditions
- Consider maintenance requirements for long-term success
- Plan adequate drainage to protect wall surfaces
- Select planters that complement room decor
Natural Material Integration
Fiber elements, whether of stone or brick or natural fiber add in natural texture and anchor the TV space at the same time. These materials make good contrast with smooth surfaces of screens and preserve the comfort of the bedroom.
Storage Integration Solutions
Hidden Storage Behind Decor
Aesthetics given to bedrooms ensure performance as the decorations covering the storage comprise a significant part of the bedroom. I placed decorative boxes on floating shelves where I covered remotes, cables and TV-related clutter.
Smart storage solutions:
- Ottoman storage for extra blankets and pillows
- Decorative baskets for remote organization
- Built-in drawers for electronics and games
- Wall-mounted cabinets with attractive fronts
Multi-Functional Furniture Pieces
Bedroom storage TV stands allow versatile functionality, but also work with your home design. I selected a low credenza which contains electronics but also contains a surface area to decorate the bedroom.
Multi-functional benefits:
- Maximizes space efficiency in smaller bedrooms
- Reduces visual clutter through organized storage
- Provides surfaces for decorative styling
- Often costs less than separate furniture pieces
