TV in the interior (50 photos): we arrange and arrange correctly
Content
A television in the interior of a modern living room or other room, as a rule, serves as the central element around which the design of the remaining furniture is built. The unusual design of the front panel or the diagonal that is too large, next to which a piece of furniture may look ridiculous, sometimes interferes with gracefully fitting it into the general interior of a room.
Options for placing a TV in the interior
To the TV was not just a means of watching movies, but also organically fit into the design of the living room or kitchen, it should not be alone on the wall or hanging around in the middle of the room. It is necessary to organize its "interaction" with furniture, fireplace and other interior items. Fortunately, in any situation there are solutions that allow you to harmoniously arrange the remaining elements around the TV.
There are four main ways to place the TV in the interior:
- In the niche provided by the furniture manufacturer. Such solutions are present in many modern cabinets and even sets of furniture for the kitchen, where the place for the TV can be in the center or side. Usually, in such a recess there is no back wall, and the TV is attached directly to the wall. This option is optimal when the closet fits well along the wall, and there will definitely be a rest area opposite it.
- Wall mount surrounded by shelves. It can be either a factory furniture composition or an implementation of one's own idea.
- Location in a drywall niche. Most often, such designs are used in the living room to visually divide the room, and the TV itself at the same time resembles a fireplace. Design is determined by the layout of the room and the imagination of the one who thinks through the design.
- TV on the counter. A lot of specialized racks are produced today, their design is also diverse. It can be rigid floor structures, swivel brackets that are attached to the wall or even to the ceiling. The main thing here is that the TV, along with the entire design, harmoniously fits into the overall design.
When the method of placing the TV is chosen, it is necessary to consider what elements of furniture and decor items it will be surrounded with, since it is at this stage that you can consider the most suitable options and avoid mistakes.
Furniture and other surroundings
The large wall-mounted TV is perfectly combined with shelves, murals, decorative elements made of plaster and other decorations. There are several basic ways to decorate a TV so that it does not look lonely on the wall:
- contrasting color, for example, painted matting or spectacular wallpaper;
- a decorative frame, the design of which can be made in an extraordinary style, and white polyurethane, wood or polystyrene will serve as the material;
- artificial stone, the coloring of which echoes the color scheme of the room (goes well with the fireplace, suitable for the bedroom);
- design with photo wallpaper, which, depending on the desired effect, can be glued symmetrically or asymmetrically around the TV;
- mirrors and white color combine well with the TV in the interior of a traditional style (also appropriate for the bedroom);
- an arch or a white molding from a stucco molding will fit perfectly into the classic design;
- you can decorate the TV well by lighting it from the back, so that it, like a fireplace, will create an atmosphere of unobtrusive comfort (any color can be, even white).
An interesting design decision is to frame a large TV in the living room with a wide gilded frame for a picture, but this option will look good only in a classic interior. Another interesting version of the frame around the TV is a white sticker with various images, icons or a power button in the corner (suitable even for a bedroom or kitchen).
Combination of TV with different interior styles
The easiest way is to find the best solution in a modern style like hi-tech, techno or minimalism. They even fit in a large TV organically without much effort. It can be safely emphasized and emphasized, create any composition and types of lighting around it - all this is already provided for by the styles themselves.
With historical styles like antique, Egyptian or Romanesque it’s a bit more complicated. It’s not a bad idea to foresee the possibility of hiding the TV; you can stylize it under the fireplace. If the interior of the room contains columns, then the TV can be placed between them. If there are no columns, you can consider the option of making decorative columns in the form of stucco moldings for the wall from drywall. Another interesting idea is the mural with the image of the corresponding historical period on the entire wall.
The TV in the interior of the Gothic style, Baroque, Rococo or the Renaissance can be placed on an easel and covered with a screen. These elements fit into the corresponding design without any problems, but you should adhere to the correct historical style. Decoration under the fireplace will look good too.
Ethnic styles require a great deal of creativity, since it is not easy to fit TV into Chinese or Indian classics. And in the African or Mexican style, modern technology does not look very organic. Therefore, for ethnic interiors, the best solution is to hide the TV. For a bedroom or living room, a screen or paper panels are suitable.
For example, in an African-style living room, you can put the TV on the floor or on a drum-shaped stand. For the bedroom or kitchen, you can also use cabinets or niches, decorated with the corresponding ornament. In strict English and Scandinavian styles it is better to hide the TV behind a screen or cabinet doors.
TV for the kitchen
Recommendations for placing a TV in the interior of the living room, bedroom and most other rooms are approximately the same, but the kitchen stands apart. The TV for the kitchen should be compact and convenient, it should not interfere, but at the same time, its screen should be large enough to be able to look into it with side vision.
For a small kitchen, a wall-mounted TV with a diagonal of 20 inches or even less is suitable. The interior of the middle kitchen with an area of about 15 square meters, organically fit a TV with a diagonal of 25 inches. The maximum diagonal, which is appropriate in the most spacious kitchens, is 36 inches, otherwise it will be extremely inconvenient to watch from a close distance.
Finding a place for a kitchen TV can be difficult. Usually they try to place it somewhere higher in the corner, especially if the kitchen is just preparing food, and another room serves for eating. In this case, you can mount it in a niche in the wall or make it part of the kitchen furniture, placing it next to the hood and, if possible, creating a stylistic unity in this series.
Wire placement
When thinking about how to place a TV in the interior of a room, one should not forget that several wires (three or more in a modern TV) must be connected to it, which must be hidden somehow. Usually a white plastic box and various hinged decorative structures are used for this. You can also hide the wires in a baguette.
For the same purpose, decorative panels or paintings, large indoor plants are often introduced into design. If there are creative abilities, you can think of a way to decorate the wires, for example, stick a small white “fence” on the bottom of the wall or arrange the wire in the form of a sakura branch. In the living room you can arrange your TV as a fireplace, stucco around which will hide the wires. The main thing is not to violate the stylistic unity of the interior with your design delights.
