how to decorate the wall around mounted tv?

How would you decorate the wall around our 70 inch mount a TV? The wall is quite large and we have considered picture frames but are unsure how to place them. We would like to keep the space looking clean and modern. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

    all you're showing us is a white wall w/a tv! how in the world can we comment on what to do?? We aren't clairvoyant here.

    come on, show us the entire space and what's in it.

    (and your tv is hung too high Should be about 42-50 inches from the ground to the center of tv)

    however, w/o seeing what you have, the Ikea Besta hacks are cheap, and look good


    besta above, and this one is one of the others. they added their own wood plank top to it.







    get yourself some sort of console, then decorate around it




    and if you really want minimal, do a DIY Slat wood wall accent and get a floating console.








    There. have no idea what your room looks like or if any of these will work, but you should be able to figure what to do based on these pictures.

    Console, tv height, then accessories. mkay?

    ok great. much better.

    so right now the tv is just floating on the wall. you ned more than just adding more 'stuff' to the wall.

    you seriously need a console to go under the tv,

    (please, please, lower the tv! for that size tv it should be about 46-50" from the floor to the CENTER of the tv. )


    This Besta hack (ikea) would actually work out great. can you do this?


    this one is BEsta, and i'm not sure what the ikea model they used below. you can find it online under "Ikea hacks for TV consoles"

    look at the tv height, this is how you want yours.


    Here are identical room layouts to give you ideas on what to use and how to arrange things.


    if you have the room, you might be able to do an entire wall unit. this would take care of putting something on the walls.


    Logan, 5 piece entertainment center. these cost a bit more, but they do give you storage and decor options for that blank wall.


    you could even build one yourself if you can DIY


    the depth on this cabinet isn't that large. you could absolutely do something like this, and top it with a butcher block cut to fit the top.

    just lower your tv bracket. These are probably simple base cabinets linked together to form a type of floating media unit.

    this is another Ikea hack. they made it into a floating media cabinet and either painted the wood on top, or you could use a remnant from a quartz or stone piece.




    here's another one, but in a smaller length. they've built some bookcases to go on the sides


    So, another option is to get a dresser or vintage storage piece, paint it, and use it for your console.






    this one you can buy off of wayfair or other places, and do the pictures around it.


    lots of ideas...like any of them?

    Thank you Beth H. For your photo postings with ideas on how to decorate a TV wall. For years my TV wall has been blank with the exception of the credenza the big screen sits on. Your posting has given me so much inspiration…just what I was searching for today!
