Stumped on what to do with our TV wall

6 years ago

I am looking for suggestions on how to decorate around a TV that’s on a long contiguous wall that extends past the living room and up the stairs and landing (see pic). We have a 75 inch TV and I like the look of a dark charcoal/navy wall to prevent the tv from looking like a black hole, but that would not work in this scenario. I would really appreciate some more suggestions.
FYI at the other end of the wall is a set of sliding doors that lead to the balcony with only a few inches between the wall and the frame.

    I would get a long console table to put the tv on and then create a gallery wall around the tv... inspiration pics...

    Media unit/TV stand, then decorate around it.

    IMO you start with a media cabinet at least 25% wider than the TV I would also suggest you look at Besta from Ikea in this situation it will give you a place for the V some storage and a bit of display IMo that large TV and a small amnt. of display is all you need Make sure whatever you get for a TV stand keeps the TV at the proper viewing height, The middle of the screen should bea at eye level when you are seated. Something like this would work well

    Which style do you like ? Is your house more modern or country looking ?

    Thank you for the suggestions!

    Our townhouse was built in the early 2000s so modernish, same for our taste in decor. A long media console is definitely on the cards. If I do a gallery wall around it, how large do the largest frames need to be? All the pictures I have found so far have smaller tvs and frames, so I am having a hard time visualizing how it would look with a 75 inch tv.

    I don't see why a dark wall wouldn't work.

    Personally I dislike the look of a TV with artwork around it like a gallery wall.

    I also really like the look of a wood slat tv wall (like in the picture, except a lighter wood). Would that work? I found some tutorials for how to diy and we have the tools.

    Oops forgot the picture

    I'd prob paint the wall a darker accent color (you said blue, so maybe Hale Navy?)

    this just gives you an idea of a console w/accent wall. more boho


    I'd wall mount the tv, making sure to drop the cords down in the wall and out the bottom.

    Get a cool looking media console. If you like vintage, look for a MCM walnut piece

    I did a Brasilia for mine (except I did art over it), but anything like this would look great on your wall






    all of these show diff ways to hang art

    (this one is too low, but it's an option. look at Ikea.)



    more modern, a floating console




    You could also do something like this w/floating shelves. (not inset tho)
