The beloved TV has become a must-have that many of us can’t live without in our homes. Over the years we have watched the humble TV evolve from small to large and more recently from bulky to ridiculously thin! In the same fashion we have witnessed the way that we incorporate televisions into the design of a room also change.
We are midway through a job involving re-designing a living room for some amazing clients. One of their biggest requests for the new design was the ability to conceal the TV when it wasn’t in use. The appeal of being able to camouflage TV’s so that they don’t take centre stage in a room is becoming more and more popular.
These days there are so many options available for disguising televisions. From clever custom cabinetry that integrates the television to make it less conspicuous, to making it disappear altogether – the degree of disguise is up to you.
If you’re not looking to conceal the TV completely, less emphasis can be placed on the television by avoiding making it the focal point of the room. A wall of picture frames strategically placed around the TV achieves this beautifully.
