You remember that sad lingering wall in which you have that TV? The one that shouts, Hi, I am just slapped here and left to live 😬 Yeah we have all witnessed it.
And yes, again, if you are like me, your bedroom is not only where you sleep, but you also Netflix, you scroll at late hours, trying to convince yourself that you are a minimalist despite the opposite having just told you otherwise because of your closet. So why not just have that TV wall fit your space and fit your style?
Shop 18 brilliant bedroom TV wall decor ideas that make your room feel less like a teenager plastered the wall with a taped-on screen on Pinterest. So we begin with the six ideas that will transform your space and your mood in a second.
1. Surround It with Framed Art
Because your TV shouldn’t be the only thing getting attention.
Have you ever imagined hanging your television as a part of a gallery wall? Frame it, actually, by putting something around it, like a wall of chosen prints and pix to carry your style, or literally frame it, in a picture frame.
- Use matching or contrasting frames for a cool visual effect
- Keep the spacing symmetrical to avoid that “chaos energy”
- Black-and-white art works really well for a sleek look
Bonus:You will break the emptiness of a switched off screen and will make the whole wall to be purposeful.
2. Add a Floating Shelf (or Two)
Storage and style in one move? Yes, please.
Whether your TV is mounted to the wall or not, there is always room under it to place a floating shelf of some sort. Or perhaps even two of them one on top of the other.
Use them to:
- Display plants, candles, or books
- Hold remotes or gaming gear in cute boxes
- Create symmetry with a shelf on each side of the screen
This is ideal in small bedrooms, in which the floor space is limited, yet you need some character.
| Idea | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Floating shelves | Functional + decorative |
| Asymmetrical layout | Adds dynamic interest |
3. Try a Bold Wallpaper or Painted Accent Wall
Since that wall behind your television set doesn t necessarily need to be dull beige.
How about adding class room drama to your TV wall in a good way? Hang on a wallpaper–or paint it out.
Ideas that work:
- Dark, moody green or navy walls make the TV blend in
- Fun patterns (like geometric or botanical) add a statement
- Textured wallpaper? Instant luxe feel
It is a trick which gives depth and character without additional furniture or accessories.
FYI: When you can not paint in your rental, wall temporary peel-and-stick wallpaper is your best friend.
4. Create a Built-In Look with Cabinetry or Wood Trim
Custom look, IKEA budget (if you’re clever).
In-built pieces scream designer, although we can mimic appearance by means of modular cabinets or trim sections. Mount your television and surround it with cabinetry or even painted wood panels that are basic.
Why this slaps:
- You get storage + structure
- It feels luxe, even if it’s budget-friendly
- Your TV becomes part of the architecture—not just an afterthought
Pro tip:Take it to “wow” with crown molding (or flat trim, around the frame.
5. Style the Space with Sconces or LED Lighting
It’s not a theater room, but it can feel like one.
Put in some wall sconces or even smart LED tapes to put a slight glow on your TV wall. It instantly increases the atmosphere and prevents the harsh contrast between the screen and the wall on which it is displayed.
Try this:
- Install sconces on both sides for symmetry and cozy light
- Use color-changing LED strips behind the TV for that “movie night” vibe
- Dimmable bulbs give you control over the mood (and your eyes will thank you)
Have you ever seen a film under bright, comfortable conditions as opposed to absolute darkness? Yeah, your eyes should not be exposed to that.
6. Mount the TV on a Wooden Panel or Slat Wall
Not just rustic farmhouse vibes—this works for modern too.
If you mount your TV on a piece of wood or a wall with vertical slats, it will seem like it belongs there. It makes it tactile, cozy, and rich all of which conceals cables and secures the episode of visual weight of the display.
A few ideas:
- Go for warm oak or walnut for cozy vibes
- Black slats = ultra-modern and sleek
- Paint the panel the same color as your wall for subtle dimension”
IMO-this is the trick which strikes the right balance between minimalism and personality. And, it looks much more fancy than it really does 👌
7. Use a TV Frame or Samsung Frame TV
When your TV moonlights as art? We stan.
And if you never heard about the Samsung Frame TV, be ready that you want to have one. When off, it shows digital artwork and it resembles a framed photograph. But hey, you can always do that if you think it falls out of budget (and it certainly is not cheap). All you need to do in this case is frame up your existing TV with a homemade wooden or metal frame-like one.
Why it works:
- It turns your TV into wall art (no more black box of doom)
- You get instant designer points
- It’s actually useful—style and screen
FYI: Etsy also has a few chic custom frames that are not heavy on the wallet.
8. Add a Low Console or Bench Below
Floating TVs still need friends—enter: furniture.
Okay you have fixed your TV. Now what? What will be awkward to fill that vacant floor space? Nah. Put a bench, media console or trunk on lightweight legs to form a well-rounded, solid appearance.
What to love:
- Extra surface space (hello, candles + remotes)
- Hidden storage for cords, DVDs (do people still own those?), or gadgets
- Helps balance the height of the TV visually
Pro tip:If you can not stand clutter but like cute things, get something with drawers.
9. Create a Grid Gallery Wall Around It
Warning: Might turn your TV wall into your favorite “spot” 📸
In case you are keen to ensure your television disappears without having to use a camouflage, you may consider creating a grid-like gallery surrounding it. Uniform frames, of the same size, arranged about the screen. It is selective and well-balanced.
You could go with:
- Black-and-white prints for cohesion
- Travel pics, typography, or vintage finds
- Neutral tones so the TV still pops
Rhetorical question: Just how long have TVs become a part of your aesthetics? Now. Right now.
10. Use Textured Wall Panels
Plain drywall? Could never be me.
Include some textured elements, such as 3D tiles, boiserie or acoustic panels (yup, you can get fancy ones now, too!), to up your luxe factor on a wall. And your TV floats out in front of all that rich texture like it is set in architectural digest.
Why this idea rocks:
- Adds depth and sophistication
- Breaks up boring surfaces
- Can help with sound quality (if you pick the right materials)
Texture= instant heist. Your walls will appreciate. (Not literally. That would be strange.))
11. Hang Curtains or Drapery Behind
TV? What TV? (Exactly.)
Do you want to conceal your screen when it is off and create a bit of bougie feel in your room? See how floor-to-ceiling curtains in front of TV work. It is a comfortable, fashionable background which conceals the geekiness.
Bonus: It makes the room you live in higher and comfier, simultaneously.\
Quick tip:
- Go for light linen or velvet, depending on your vibe
- Don’t overthink the rod—simple = better
- This works especially well for renters who can’t do built-ins
It is like a miniature stage curtain to your TV, only a lot cuter.
12. Use Plants to Soften the Techy Look
TVs are cool, but plants are cooler 🌿
It is okay to admit that technology has the tendency to cool a room down a bit. Indoor plants around the TV wall will soften the situation.
Think:
- Tall potted plant on one side
- Hanging wall-mounted planters
- A leafy shelf above or beside the screen
Why this works:
- Adds natural texture + color
- Breaks up hard lines of the TV
- Makes the room feel fresh, lived-in, and vibrant
And here is the bonus you rll not forget to water them, will you? Right?
13. Integrate Built-In Bookshelves
Let your TV join the library club.
There is nothing that seems more mature and cooler than custom built-ins. In the event that you happen to be blessed with a carpenter in your life (or, to be honest, a budgetary allocation), find one and have him or her come up with shelving around the TV. Screen is a display part- not the elephant in the room.
Perks of this look:
- A mix of books, plants, and photos breaks up the tech
- Makes the space feel polished and intentional
- Tons of storage for ugly stuff (you know what I mean)
IMO: It also has the advantage of working well in smaller rooms where square foot counts. It is a win-win, because you get decor and functionality.
14. Try a Recessed TV Niche
Because sometimes, going in is cooler than standing out.
Want your bedroom television to look like it is in a yacht or a good hotel wall? Make a truncated nook in which to place the screen. In real life you just cut out a hole on the wall so that the television can be recessed.
Why this works:
- Looks seamless and high-end
- Hides cables super easily
- Adds depth without taking up space
Of course there is some drywall work involved. However, when you are already doing a renovation, then this one slaps.
15. Add Wall Sconces for a Layered Look
Cue the mood lighting.
You have got your TV, your frames, perhaps, even a floating shelf. What’s missing? Baby, wall sconces! These wall wall sconces are ideal in surrounding your screen and creating different light layers.
Best part?
- They elevate the vibe instantly
- They don’t take up floor space
- You can find battery-operated versions (no wiring stress!)
Choose brass to get warm glam or matte black, and sophisticated edge. One way or another it shouts out, yes, I have taste.
16. Play with Shapes and Layouts
Your TV doesn’t have to be the centerpiece. (Rebel a little.)
Have an out of box thinking. Experiment with asymmetrical arrangement in the fact of gallery, offset your TV or tilt it off horizontally and balance by placing wild art or color to the other side. Such a solution is more lighthearted and relaxed or in other words, bedroom-appropriate.
Here’s the trick:
- Pair TV with funky-shaped mirrors or wall sculptures
- Use paint or wallpaper to divide zones
- Break symmetry (on purpose!) to create intrigue
Rhetorical question:Everything must be centered, who says so?
17. Incorporate a Statement Wallpaper or Mural
Make your TV wall artsy, not just functional.
Need your television wall to be an eye-stopper? Paint large wallpaper right behind it, or mural. It can be geometric, floral, abstract, etc: a bold pattern makes the whole wall a work of art, and the television accompanies her on the way.
Hot tips:
- Go for peel-and-stick options if you’re renting
- Dark patterns work great with black TVs
- Keep furniture around it minimal to let the wall shine
Believe me: you will completely forget that you are watching Netflix: your wall will overtake the spotlight.
18. Create a Cozy TV Nook with Textiles
Soft surroundings = instant cozy points.
And finally, last but surely not the least, think soft. Think cozy. Cogitate about textile-driven-looking decor within your television space. The surrounding walls may have fabric-covered panels, or woven baskets, or layer tapestries. Sounds can be absorbed using rugs or wall hangings so use them with texture, which makes the space to feel cozy and movie-night like.
What makes this fab:
- Adds warmth to cold electronics
- Perfect for boho, hygge, or minimalist rooms
- Can make even a basic TV setup feel intentional
It also provides significant dorm-chic when you do it correctly. FYI: not to mention fairy lights would not go amiss 😉
