Help with TV wall decor ideas

2 years ago

Hi ya'll!

Now that my wife and I have been settled into our first home, and all the more major updates/projects are completed, it's time to focus on the nitty gritty. We are really struggling trying to figure out what to do with this wall our TV sits on. Everytime I mock up our ideas in Photoshop, nothing seems to really speak to us. So, any suggestions are welcomed!

One thing to note: the black "entertainment stand" below the TV will soon be a darkish blue (Denim blue being the official color), and will have a natural oak wood top, with gold hardware.

Hi. Would be happy to help.

Design doesn't happen in isolation, so I would need photos of all 4 walls of the room. Thanks!

In general though, without seeing the rest,

-The chair is too large for that area and the style doesnt work with the sectional

-TV should be 2/3-3/4 the width of the console, so this future console should be longer than the existing one.

-remove the angled chest. might be able to use it in another place.

-there are too many small items around the tv. Keep it simple.....a couple of large baskets. (of course doesn/t apply as you will be buying a new console.

-rug is too small for the space

-tv is too high for comfortable viewing.

This can all be corrected, but no sense in working on it till you get the furniture arrangement correct.

Thanks.

^All helpful suggestions.. Lowering the TV will also provide more connection to the console vs floating above it.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions so far! Here are some other photos to show the entire space i'm working with.

We agree the chair is too large for the space and plan to replace it with a smaller arm chair

The green arrow is the entrance to the home.

IMO the room would appear more spacious this way

Have you tried switching the chair and bar? How about adding a natural fiber wallpaper on that wall and some wall decor...

Hi.

Could you please take a straight on photo of the dining room wall (standing back by the tv and include all the way to the refrigerator). Thanks.

Here is what I recommend:

In either case

-larger rug

-colors are not working together. There are too many woods (front door, dining set, coffee table, floor, wine bar competing with each other. Colors: blue, grey But, maybe you are just getting started.

-move wine bar to another area where it can be highlighted as a wine bar. (never angle a squared off piece of furniture in a corner. Never looks good.)

-simple drapes for dining a living windows.

-lower tv

-decor should be simple, especially around the tv.

Option 1

1) Move tv to the dining room wall (if space allows). Likely, there would be no console in this scenario.

2) Move sectional to tv wall

3) Move wine bar to another room (dining room?)

Option 2

1) Leave sectional where it is, but move it slightly closer to the window wall.

2) Place a chair on right side of tv

3) Console needs to be 1 1/3- 1 1/2 longer than tv. Your current console is too short. Think about whether you want to buy a console that ties you into a certain color. Rather, buy pillows and accessories to decorate. In a couple of years, easy to change out the color.

4) Move coats to dining wall.

Thanks!

You can use some wall painting or wall artwork to decorate the TV wall over the TV stand like the following pic:
