Over thefireplace we displayed the clients photograhy by custom making 4 panels that would fold back to reveal the TV. Great focal point for this Great Room!

Specifics - Such a clever idea! Did you use custom or standard size frames, and if the latter, what size? What were the dimensions of the overall opening you covered? »

Gina Fitzsimmons ASID Hi, I used one inch thick frames so that when we screwed them together we had some substantial wood to get a good hold for the hinges. I have not seen any ready made frames that have this dimension. The opening was approx. 48x27. Good Luck with your project! Gina

Dee Ducati Love your idea for the TV cabinet.......we have an existing cabinet that can use your idea to hide the TV.

TVCoverups Another solution you may want to consider is using TVCoverUps. Framed artwork or panel provides the focal point, until it swings upward to reveal the hidden TV. It comes in automatic and manual lifts and also allows for TV tilting hardware. Each unit is custom to the viewer and room, so it is always best to give us a call.

Picture frames. For those who love displaying pictures of their loved ones, here's a novel concept: Mat and frame some of your favorite photos, hinge them together and create a wall of art as your fireplace focal point. Fold the panels back when you need to watch some television — easy!Design tip: This option involves some careful measuring and installation, but it could even be a DIY project.
