9 Stylish TV Accent Wall Ideas For Wall Mounted TVs
Decorating around a TV isn't always easy. You gotta figure out a way to blend a (boring) black rectangle screen with the rest of your living room decor and have it all look cohesive and stylish.
Let's face it, watching TV is most likely the main function of the space so not only is the TV not going anywhere, it's often the focal point of the room whether you want it to be or not... but that doesn't mean it needs to stick out like a sore thumb.
Stay with me today because I've got a ton of TV accent wall ideas to show you that will not only inspire you but help make your home the place you love to be in.
You might even end up using more than one of these TV accent wall ideas throughout the house.

1. Accent Wall With Fireplace and TV
Mounting a TV above a fireplace is a popular choice because the fireplace is already a room focal point so that big flat square on the wall won't dominate.
Be careful to consider a few things:
- Place your sofa far enough away that you're not craning your neck to look up at the TV. A long and low fireplace also helps with this issue. Your neck will thank you.
- Keep heat and soot from the fireplace deflected away from the TV. A mantel serves this purpose, or get an electric fireplace which is less likely to damage your TV.
Yes, this really is a TV above the fireplace; frame TVs hide your screen in plain sight by turning it into a work of art when you're not watching it.
How cool is that?
The resulting display of this TV accent wall looks fresh and clean, with photo frames to the right picking up the straight lines of the TV/artwork and fireplace.

5. Living Room Stone Accent Wall With TV
Stunning is this word for this accent TV wall with stone in this moody media lounge designed by Forbes + Masters.

6. TV Accent Wall With Moulding
This traditional style living room was "boring" until the homeowner created this TV feature wall with picture frame moulding and chair railing.
With the addition of the sconces and a DIY frame for the screen, the whole wall looks attractive and cozy.

7. Black TV Accent Wall
If you'd like to just pretend your TV isn't on the wall, hide it in plain sight with a dramatic black TV accent wall.
A black accent wall behind the TV takes the focus off the screen and expands your view to the entire wall. The contrasting pop of hot pink on the low level coffee table offers yet another focal point away from the screen.
In addition frequent use of rectangle shapes (picture frames, rug, window, fireplace, coffee table and table decor) make that rectangle screen on the wall seem like just part of the decor.
8. Painted Accent TV Walls
Nothing transforms a room faster and easier than a can of paint; I've got two ideas coming right up for a painted accent wall behind the TV.
Bold accent wall with TV
This first idea is kinda unique but no one said an accent wall color had to be safe, right?
This purple wall says "bold" in spades and definitely grabs the attention away from the screen.
