An excellent solution is to place the TV in the living room on the wall. This will save you space and time that would otherwise have to be spent searching for a location.
A TV on the wall will decorate and add some emphasis to the interior of the living room.
Wall decoration with TV
A TV in the interior of a living room is always stylish and practical, but simply placing a TV in the living room will not decorate the interior of the room. To decorate it, you still need to properly arrange the wall.
The wall with a TV in the living room can be decorated in the following ways: using furniture, additional structures, arches, finishing materials and decorations.
Some options will be discussed below.
Manufacturing materials
How the item will fit into the interior and the chosen style depends on this parameter. It also affects cost and functionality. Basically, furniture is made from 6 materials: chipboard, MDF, wood, metal, glass, plastic. They all have their own characteristics. To simplify the choice, as well as to understand which option is most suitable, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the materials in more detail.
Laminated chipboard is used in the production of a large number of products (from tables to flooring). The main advantages of this material are its low cost, as well as resistance to external factors due to lamination, which increases durability. The disadvantages include environmental damage due to the materials used. Also, laminated chipboard quickly becomes unusable when moisture gets inside.
Very similar to the previous material, MDF also has distinctive features. It is soft, so it lends itself to the finest processing, which allows you to implement interesting solutions. This option has completely adopted its low cost and vulnerability to water from chipboard.
Wood is used in the production of more expensive products. Such furniture turns out to be noticeably stronger, more resistant to any influences, lasts for several decades, and does not spoil the environment. But you have to put up with heavy weight and high cost.
Furniture for TVs in the living room is rarely made entirely of metal. Most of it is used to make frame parts. The exception is racks, less often tables. You can also find an increased number of metal elements in items made in the loft style. The advantages of options made from such material are strength, durability, resistance to any external influences, and unusual appearance. The disadvantages include bulkiness and high cost.
Glass, like metal, is almost never used as the only raw material for manufacturing. Tabletops, cabinets, shelves, components of cabinets, and walls are made from it. Advantages of glass furniture: attractive appearance, flexibility in choosing a style, low cost, invulnerability to corrosion. Cons: fragility, soiling.
Plastic is used less frequently and in smaller quantities than previous options. Tables, shelves, and parts of other interior elements are made from it. The choice of plastic is due to its low cost, durability, and strength. But you have to put up with the often simple appearance. Sometimes a product that is too cheap can smell unpleasant the first time after purchase.

Design using additional structures
Additional structures can highlight the location of the TV and also add zest to the interior of your living room. Some examples:
Wall panels. The panels do not merge with the wall, which ensures that they stand out against the background of the wall. Spotlights will add more beauty.

The height of the TV in the living room will be easily adjusted with a stand. If the counter has shelves, you can put something on them. The stand will add brightness and taste to the interior of the room.
Niche. It can simply follow the contours of the screen, and in addition it can have several compartments. Niches are often made of plasterboard.
Arch. It is often made from plasterboard.
Decoration with finishing materials
Finishing materials perfectly highlight the wall on which the TV is located. Some finishing methods:
Wallpaper. With them you can select either the entire wall or part of it. Contrasting wallpaper will perfectly decorate a wall with a TV. Photo wallpapers can also add brightness and uniqueness to the living room interior. This option can be used when the wall is not occupied by other decoration items.
Dye. Contrasting colors will perfectly highlight the TV wall. A drawing of an animal, plant, cloud or something similar can add uniqueness to your interior.
Plaster. A three-dimensional relief covered with paint will perfectly highlight the wall.
Scenery
Various decorations will help enrich the design and focus attention on the wall with the TV.
Stickers. They perfectly complement the interior of the TV wall in the living room. They come in the form of plants, insects, birds, etc.

Paintings and photographs. These decorations are perfect for a sophisticated, elegant or chic living room interior. Family photos will add coziness to your living room, and paintings will add sophistication.
Mirror. One large one or several small ones will decorate the living room interior. Small ones can be hung around the perimeter of the TV, and large ones behind it. Mirrors of various shapes, placed in a chaotic manner, will add zest to the interior.

Tips for placing a TV on the wall in the living room

The height of the TV in the living room should not be high, because this entails inconvenience.

Focus on design. It is important that the interior is complete and stylish.
Location of the TV in the living room interior
When it comes time to choose a place for the TV, it is important to consider how the room is arranged. According to the rules, plasmas are mounted on the surface of the wall, but for ordinary TVs you need to choose a stand.
They can be very different. To properly place the screen, use a long wall in the room.
It’s very good if there are niches in the room - this is the best place for the TV. Nearby you can place a sofa with armchairs and a table, creating a cozy home corner.
When a room is divided into separate functional areas, a new problem is created: how to decorate a TV in a living room, where the space serves more than one function.
In this case, it would be advisable to place the home screen in the center of the zone that is responsible for relaxation.
The rear visible part is hidden using a cabinet or partition.
The TV in the living room interior should be directly in front of your eyes or slightly lower, but not higher.
Do not install the screen opposite the window opening; if sunlight enters the room, you will not be able to watch your favorite movie, as this will be impossible.
The size and height of the TV in the living room should correspond to the dimensions of the room or separate area. Small matrices can dissolve in large rooms.
