Are you redecorating your lounge or entertainment room? Do you want to take the focus off your big-screen TV? Here are a few creative ways to hide your TV within your decor.

1. Hide it behind doors or panels. If you want to physically cover your TV, you could opt for a custom-made cabinet, a DIY textured sliding panel or stylish barn doors. This is also a great solution if you have other items you want to tidy up, like a collection of DVDs or gaming consoles.

2. Invest in a smart picture TV. Although a bit pricey, you can purchase a smart TV with a built-in frame that looks like a piece of art. When you aren’t watching the TV, you can switch to gallery mode to display beautiful photos and images.

3. Surround it with a gallery wall. Blend your TV into the rest of your decor by surrounding it with variously sized, unevenly spaced framed photos and prints. This will help distract the eye and make the TV less of a focus. Plus, the gallery wall will make a statement and add interest and personality to your space.

4. Buy a pop-up stand. You can purchase various styles of free-standing cabinets with a pop-up mechanism for your TV. The TV neatly tucks away to free up valuable wall space when you aren’t using it.
