Rock Your TV Wall: Break Free From That Boring Paint
Do you play the guitar? Well, here you have one more reason to try it out:
A guitar as a decor item? This is a win-win solution for us.
Over the quarantine, my kids started playing the guitar. The guitars were always on the sofa, or worse, on the floor, about to be kicked around.
Why not hang them? They will be conveniently at hand to play and will become for an amazing decor item.
You need to see this wall before the design (yes, this is only a design idea, although I have already hung the guitars).
How to decorate a TV wall?
#1 Decide on the wall color
You can use either a dark paint color, which will help blend the TV on the background, or a neutral wall shade (such as white or taupe) for a modern look.

#2 TV Height
If you choose to mount the TV, “you want the center of the TV to be about eye level, or even slightly lower,” as CNet recommends.
Placing the TV over a fireplace will be usually too high, but sometimes -depending on the layout of the room- it might be the only option.
At least this simplifies the furniture arrangement: the sofa can be easily placed in front of these two focal points (the TV and fireplace).
If you’re interested in how to lay out furniture in your space, check out my related article on furniture layout.
Also, consider mounting the TV 4 to 8 inches above the piece of furniture below it.
#3 Gallery Wall

Any other dark color suggestions?
That looks exactly like my TV room wall which I want to remodel.
Hi Barbara,
There are many good colors. Here are some of my favorites:
Benjamin Moore “Amherst Gray” (dark gray)
Sherwin Williams “In The Navy” (dark blue)
Sherwin Williams “Night Owl” (dark green)
Benjamin Moore “Black” (black)
Benjamin Moore “Sundried Tomato” (dark burgundy)
All of these are amazing dark colors and would make great accent walls.
