Most homeowners nowadays choose to hide their television screens when not in use, especially because they can sometimes affect the design of your home. However, there are ways in which you can use your TV as a complementary design to your room without the need to conceal it.
Your flat screen TV may be used as a decorative piece when no one is using it, Apartment Therapy reported. According to the publication, the television is not something that is embarrassing to leave out in areas where everyone can see.
However, if you feel like it is getting in the way of your room's theme and décor, then maybe it's time for you to get a little more creative than just hiding it. The publication showed an example of an ingenious way of keeping the television out in the open without affecting the room's décor.
In the example shown in the article, the TV was mounted to the back of a kitchen island, which was facing the sofa. It does not, in any way, affect the design of the room and it even provides a contrast of color because of its black color against the white paint of the entire room.
If you don't have the means to get another kitchen island at home, the publication advised on covering the TV with some decorative piece when it is not in use. According to the outlet, you may cover the TV with a map, a photograph, a piece of art when you want to hide it from the room.
DIY & Crafts also suggested some ways in which you can frame your TV in order to make it a decorative piece at home. By simply creating a frame out of used or old wood, you can immediately give your television that rustic look.
You may also use several art pieces, especially silhouettes, to keep the focus and attention away from the television. Simply get a couple of art pieces and put them together on the wall next to the TV set.
