    The Well Hidden TV: Clever Ideas for Hiding Your TV in Plain Sight!

    Most of us agree that there needs to be a spot for a TV in our family rooms but when you start talking about where to put the TV…. that’s when it can get tricky! Some people absolutely love their big flat screen TVs and proudly display them in the room while others can’t stand how they look and will go to great lengths to hide them. For those of you who prefer well hidden TVs, I’ve gathered some great ideas to disguise those big black boxes in beautiful, decorative ways.

    Hidden TV Using Bifold Doors

    For TVs that are mounted above a fireplace, creating a custom TV cabinet with bifold doors is a beautiful solution as seen in this gorgeous living room designed by Simply Home Decorating:

    You' never know there was a hidden TV behind those bifold doors! Such a beautiful solution for a TV mounted above a fireplace!

    You can see more of this beautiful urban cottage designed by Simply Home Decorating {here}. And if you’re going to be mounting your TV above a fireplace, check out {this post} for lots of ideas and inspiration.

    Hide TV Behind Painting or Art

    Another idea is to hide your TV behind art! Check out Maria’s simple DIY trick for attaching the canvas art to her TV on her blog John’s Journal,

    Or how about pull-down vintage map – so clever! You could DIY a similar solution by adhering a piece of canvas art to a roll-out projection screen:

    Furniture Piece with Hidden TV That Can Be Raised with Lift

    Hide a TV in a furniture piece that has a built-in lift so that you’d never know it was there until you want to raise it up for viewing:

    or you can buy a big expensive bed that has the TV lift built right into it!:

    “Hidden” TV by Camouflaging with Art or Painting

    One final solution is to “hide” your TV out in the open by camouflaging it in a wall of black and white silhouette artwork:

    Hiding Your TV in Plain Sight

    With the Samsung Frame TV, that big black box of a TV turns into customizable art that lays flush against the wall! We hung a Frame TV over our fireplace and are really happy with how it turned out! The newest frame TVs have a matte screen that makes then truly look like works of art:

    See my post on mounting a TV above your fireplace for all the details!

    What are your thoughts about hiding TVs – are you itching to make yours disappear from sight or do you like having your TV front and center in the room?

      One you did not mention is Hidden Vision. They have two styles to choose from, flip out TV mount, the flip around TV mounts, they are easy to install, and you can choose your own artwork

      This is the kind of inspiration I was looking for. We`re about to mount the Tv screen over the fire place… and the idea wasn’t so appealing to us. Thanks so much!
