Media Wall Hides the Television in Plain Sight

One of the great dilemmas of today's interior design is what to do with the television. These pieces of electronics and all of their associated equipment are necessary to our way of life and ubiquitous in their often-haphazard placement throughout our homes. The most common solution has been for designers and homeowners to hide the television in cabinetry in an attempt to get it out of view, a hit-or-miss solution as most times the cabinet doors are left open and the television rears itself.

So it's refreshing to see this media wall. Here, the television is hidden in plain sight. Integrated into the overall design aesthetic and color palette, the television, when on, is like any other television. But when turned off, the screen blends into the surrounding frame of black squares. There are no doors to close nor any equipment to hide away, this television simply disappears when the "off" button is pushed.

Designed by Kelly Reese of Richlin Interiors in Naples, Florida, this media wall is the recipent of a American Society of Interior Design South Florida Chapter (ASID FSC) Design Excellence Award (DEA). Congratulations Kelly for a job well done!
