Yes, I’ve seen these, and the only one I like is the top one, where you can’t see the TV at all. I guess I’m still just not used to the idea that a TV should be in the living room, but whaddya gonna do?

the tv should be where you watch it

On second thought, I do like the last two walls as well. I think they work because the palette in each is so limited. Unfortunately, my own art collection is pretty diverse color-wise, though almost all the frames are black.

It’s kind of funny that the TV is most obvious in the room where the walls are almost completely covered with framed art. There’s just no way to hide that baby.

buy a chrome-cast and turn on the tv that will show pics

I think it's hard to do this in an attractive way. I don't mind the last pic posted by Lil, because I find the symmetry of the arrangement pleasing. I would find it distracting to have a jumble of art hung all around my TV though. I don't see the TV as an element that needs to be incorporated artistically into a grouping. Your mileage may vary. ;)

the art incorporate the tv and make it less imposing in the room. I make it in my living room and looks so beautiful but sorry I cannot show it because I don't put pics from my house online, it's too personal. I did not put art based on a "color palette" I use what I love

I think it will blend with the other art if it is a similar size to the other pieces. I took the tv from the black wall and put it on the white wall. I did reduce the size to fit in with the size of the other pieces of art. I don't find it imposing at all on the white wall, though I love the original spot also. For this spot, it could be on an arm that swings so that it can be seen from the sofa.

I think it also makes a difference that in the setup below, the tv is not where it would be expected, in the center of the wall.

I have a gallery wall around my tv. But I don't have a 43" screen and tv watching is not important to me. I understand that folks who enjoy watching tv might find art surrounding it distracting.

@IdaClaire — Yeah, I’m inclined to agree with you. I love a gallery wall, but I’ve never had to worry about incorporating a TV. Coming up with something I like is going to be a challenge.

Friday, good point about the TV in that setting not being the center of attention. That's actually kind of interesting, and seems to make the artwork the focus while appending the TV in the corner almost as an afterthought.

@User - Yes, I think that is the trick. If you don't want the tv to be the center of attention then don't put it in the spot that commands the most attention. Also, don't make it a size that commands the most attention relative to everything else on the wall. My TV is on my fireplace wall but you have to look for it to find it. That is partially due to its size and partially to its location.

Use other objects to give interest and dimension.

I love the "Where's Waldo" aspect of some of these groupings---great to have the TV blend in, instead of stand out!
