Let’s be real, your television area can feel a bit plain. But it doesn’t have to.
Here are 26 ideas to help you rethink that wall, from clever storage to interesting finishes.
Fluted Panels with a Warm Wood TV Niche
Behind the television, a fluted wall panel provides a textured backdrop, while a contrasting wood panel forms a warm niche around the screen.
Floating Shelves with Curated Decor Groupings
White floating shelves display framed art, potted plants, and decorative vases in simple groupings.
Floating Cabinet with Tall Wood Shelving
If you need a clean media base, a long, white floating cabinet provides just that. Complement it with a tall, open wood shelving unit to display vases and books on the wall.
Built-In White Shelving with Spotlighting
If you need display space for many decorative items and photos, an extensive white built-in unit can provide that. Integrated spotlights on each shelf highlight your selected objects.
Wooden Slat Wall with Integrated Sconce Lighting
Wooden slats line the wall, forming a textured backdrop for a modern wall sconce. Mounted directly onto the slats, the light fixture casts a warm glow across the surface.
Floating Wood Cabinet with a Statement Vase
Place a striking sculptural vase with dried branches on one end of your long, floating wood cabinet. The tall branches sit next to the television.
Wood Shelving with Backlighting for Ambiance
A tall, open wood shelving unit stands against the living room wall. Its individual shelves are illuminated from behind, casting a soft glow on any displayed items.
Wood Media Console with Woven Basket Storage
A long, low warm wood media console holds woven basket inserts for hidden storage.

For your television, a large marble slab sits above a long, low media console in a warm wood tone, which offers room for electronics and decor.
Textured Concrete Wall with Perimeter LED Lighting
A concrete wall section behind your television is softened by warm LED lighting that traces its perimeter, casting a subtle glow behind the screen and highlighting the rough texture of the surface.
Floating Shelves Displaying Sculptures and Books
Simple floating shelves display a black metal sculpture and a neat stack of books.
Slatted Wood Wall with Ambient Sconce Lighting
Two simple sconces with exposed bulbs flank the television, mounted directly onto wood slats.

A long, low media console features recessed drawer fronts, presenting a clean line beneath your television. The light wood top surface provides an area for decorative objects such as books and a small lamp, keeping the primary cabinet space clear.
Slatted Wood Wall with a Marble TV Mount
A vertical wood slat wall provides a textured backdrop that allows a sleek, integrated marble slab TV mount to stand out, with warm wood tones softening the cool marble.
Tall Bird of Paradise Plant Adds Life to Media Wall
Place a large Bird of Paradise plant in a white pot near your media wall. Its broad leaves stand tall against the flat screen and white console.
Live-Edge Wood Shelving with Natural Curves
Live-edge wood, used for both the media console and floating shelves, brings organic shapes and uneven, natural contours to the living room against a textured wall.
Wood Paneling Creates a Built-In TV Look
Extensive wood paneling surrounding the television creates a smooth, built-in appearance for your media setup. The light wood grain offers a warm counterpoint to the dark screen.

Dark wood floating shelves are mounted at varying heights on the wall. Integrated LED backlighting casts a soft light both upwards and downwards.
Mounting shelves at different heights can break up a large wall surface more effectively than a single linear row.
