Pick a look

Item Why it works
Gallery wall Personal and flexible
Floating shelves Style and storage
Statement art Simple and bold
Wood slats Warm, textured backdrop
Plants Soft and fresh

Art and frames

  1. Create a gallery wall around and above the TV.
  2. Hang one wide statement artwork centred above the screen.
  3. Add a pair of matching prints either side.

Shelves and texture

  1. Mount floating shelves with books and vases.
  2. Install wood slat panels behind the TV.
  3. Add a woven or textile hanging for softness.

Light and life

  1. Use trailing plants on high shelves.
  2. Add picture lights or LED strips for evening glow.
  3. Hang a mirror to bounce light, avoiding screen glare.
  4. Use a frame-style TV that shows art when off.

Tip: Mount TVs and shelves with fixings suited to the wall type and weight, and keep heavy objects off shelves directly above the screen. Hide cables in approved conduit or raceways, and do not run mains cables inside walls without a qualified electrician.
