Your TV room is likely an important entertainment hub in your home. It’s where you can go to unwind after a long day. It’s also where family and friends can gather to bond over a favorite television program.
While comfort is a high priority for a TV room, that doesn’t mean the room has to fall short on style. Here are 6 TV room design ideas that are surprisingly simple to implement, and can add value to your Fort Lauderdale luxury home.
1. Go Old School.
As TVs have grown in size over the past decade, folks have moved away from storing them in armoire-style cabinets. However, this remains a comparatively affordable option that can enhance the design of your TV room and hide the TV when its not in use.
Whether your design aesthetic is traditional, modern or contemporary, choose a cabinet style that will complement your room. It’s unlikely that you’ll find a cabinet that will accommodate a 70-inch screen. But, if you’re willing to sacrifice a few inches of screen, your search for the perfect cabinet will be that much easier.
2. Go New School.
If you just have to have a super-sized TV, no problem! When the TV is on, the screen can be pretty impressive. Unfortunately when the TV is off, it can look like a big black hole on your wall. Consider installing doors or a picture that slides to reveal the TV. You have endless choices when it comes to door or picture design styles.
3. Frame It.
A simple frame around the screen can be a fun and affordable way to incorporate a TV into any room. When you have company, you can either play a great movie, or stream family photos. It’s certain to be a great conversation starter!
4. Try A TV Lift Cabinet.
Our personal favorite is the TV lift cabinet, which is a modern twist on the old school media cabinet. Similarly, the TV lift cabinet allows you to take more control of your room design by integrating furniture, rather than technology. TV lift cabinets are available in many sizes and styles. You may even be able to convert a favorite piece of furniture.
5. Mirror, Mirror On The Wall.
An emerging trend in TV disguises is a framed two-way mirror. With the flip of a switch, electric current changes the mirror from reflective to opaque, allowing you to see the TV. Be sure to shop for a mirror that has the least effect on the brightness of your TV picture.
6. Hide It In Plain Sight.
Since a TV screen when off is black, surrounding it with similarly framed artwork will help it to fade into the background. Choose artwork that has similar basic tones and shapes.
There you have it, 6 of our favorite TV room design ideas. While most are easy to implement yourself, consider hiring a professional to help with things like mounting your TV or cord management.
