Decorating around the TV doesn’t have to be awkward! These stylish and modern TV wall ideas make the scree actually blend in.
To be honest…decorating around the TV is HARD.
Like, how are you supposed to make a big black box look aesthetic??
I used to completely ignore our TV wall because I had no idea what to do with it. But now?? It’s one of my favorite areas in the whole living room. Whether you want your TV to blend in or you just want it to look a little more intentional, these ideas are going to change everything.
Here are 20 super cute, stylish, and actually doable ways to decorate around your TV that wont ruin your vibe.
Genius Ways to Decorate Around Your TV Wall
1. Add Floating Shelves
Floating shelves instantly make our space feel styled. Put one on each side of the TV and add books, plants, candles, whatever you love.
2. Create a Gallery Wall
If your TV’s just floating there looking awkward, a gallery wall will make it feel like part of a bigger moment. Mix frames, prints, and photos for a curated look.
3. Mount It Over a Console Table
So simple but SO good. A pretty console adds storage and gives you space to decorate with trays, lamps, or baskets underneath.
4. Use the Samsung Frame TV
If you want to be fancy (but like…not too fancy), the Frame TV is a dream. It looks like real art when it’s off. Total game changer.
5. Frame Your TV
This is such a fun DIY project! You can literally build or buy a frame to go around your TV and it instantly makes it look 10x better.
6. Go Full Built-In
If you’re ready to commit, adding built-ins around the TV is so stunning. Bookshelves, cabinets, the whole deal. Major cozy vibes.
7. Match Decor Colors to the TV
Keep it clean by decorating with blacks, neutrals, or darker tones around the TV. It blends in way better and looks super intentional.
8. Use Matching Wall Sconces
Add a sconce on each side of the TV for balance and a designer touch.
9. Layer a Plant Next to it
Tall plants are always the answer. They fill awkward corers and add a little but of life to a tech-heavy wall.
10. Add Texture With Baskets
Woven baskets under the console or stacked on shelves? YES PLEASE. They warm the whole area and hide clutter like a champ.
11. Try a Picture Light
Ever seen a light above a piece of art in a museum? DO that, but above your TV.
12. Lean Art on the Console
Instead of hanging everything , lean a few big frames or canvases on your media console. It looks effortless (but styled).
13. Keep It Symmetrical
If your brain loves balance, try this: match the decor on both sides of the TV. Like identical shelves, vases, or even plants.
14. Use Wallpaper Behind the TV
Make a statement wall! Peel-and-stick wallpaper behind the TV makes it pop (in a good way).
15. Hide Wires for a Clean Look
This one’s not as fun, but it’s SO worth it. Hiding cords makes everything look neater and more high-end.
16. Add Books for Height
Stack a few hardcover books on the console to add levels. Pop a candle or vase on top and you’re golden.
17. Incorporate Wood Accents
Wood tones warm up the black TV and help the whole wall feel cozy and layered.
18. Add a Rug to Ground the Space
Your rug can help tie the whole area together and make the TV wall feel like part of the room..not just floating on its own.
19. Use Ledge Shelving
Install a thin ledge under to above the TV for displaying art or layering frames. It’s minimal but makes such a difference.
20. Keep It Simple
Sometimes less is more. A clean console, a couple of plants, and no clutter can look SO elevated. Don’t overthink it!
