I always read posts or magazines about the many ways to decorate around a TV or create some form of a gallery wall. Well, I am here to be a bit of a design rebel and share with you the way we use to decorate around a TV are a thing of the past. In other words, we are still creating a form of a gallery wall around the TV, but, adapting it to the fact that we have accepted that the TV is the focal point (not hiding it) and that simplicity is something many are craving. So, want to find out my main tips and how to do it right, head on over to A Blissful Nest and check it out. It’s a good one. 
Hint hint, Kris, from Driven by Decor, did it perfectly for her One Room Challenge last Spring.

Our tv is on a weird angled wall that goes up along the staircase. So we have a wall on one side, but not the other. It’s strange….
Cecilia Cannon says
hmm, sounds unique for sure.

I have a large show piece right above my TV and nothing else around it. Its pretty neat. I love it like that and your look nice too.
Jessica Joachim says
This is lovely! I always have a hard time decorating around our TV. My husband has these huge speakers and they are impossible to decorate around so I end up putting pictures on them to make them look somewhat better.
Cecilia Cannon says
oh, speakers. that does make it a little trickier
Karen Morse says
I love it, it doesn’t look like the paintings are trying to make you overlook the television. It’s clean, simple, and elegant.
Cecilia Cannon says
EXACTLY Karen!
Terri Steffes says
I like the way you used the same basic shape as the tv. My daughter has this set up and I am going to share the post with her.
Cecilia Cannon says
It was actually Kris from Driven by decor, she knew how to keep the TV the focal point while bringing in art
AnnMarie John says
That is such a lovely way to decorate around your TV. Most people would leave the walls blank. I love this idea though! It’s really beautiful.
Cecilia Cannon says
It is! Kris did a great job.
ANDREA says
I low the way you put the frames around the tv it adds so much depth and just a little funk to it. and it goes perfect with the wooden tv stand
Cecilia Cannon says
this was actually done by Kris but, yes, it is great.
Kimberly Croisant says
WOW – that’s gorgeous, but I don’t think i could line up picture frames so straight like that. I’m jealous. I really do like the black and white.
Cecilia Cannon says
trust me, it isn’t an easy task, measure twice, 🙂
Cassie says
I love these ideas because admittedly I have no dang idea how to decorate around a TV but I’d love to try some of these suggestions!
Cecilia Cannon says
oh great. glad some of these ideas might be useful for you.
Erica says
We are so bad at decorating. The TV just sits on a stand against the wall. Your decoration is so lovely. I should do better at making all the pieces of furniture in the room come together.
Cindy Ingalls says
I still try to hide the TV but they are so big these days it’s impossible. I have a 52″ with a window above it so my decorating is done!
Cecilia Cannon says
exactly! in our “man cave” room, the TV is so massive there is not wall left to decorate. lol.
Ana De- Jesus says
I don’t have a TV but I am loving how you have organized frames around the TV, your room is really classy looking. You clearly have a knack for demonstrating attention to detail! x
Cecilia Cannon says
This isn’t my space, but more importantly, you don’t have a TV? CONGRATS!!!

This just made me look at my wall where the living room TV is and realize I need some wall decor there. This calls for a shopping trip!
Stacey says
Our TV is on a cabinet, so in a way it is a focal point. It works well for our room.
Brittany says
I love this! We have an interesting situation at our new house. It’s a smaller living room with a HUGE cobblestone fireplace. We need to put our TV over it but no clue how. HA
Brandi Puga says
I love how chic and light your wall looks! I hope we can do this to our living room someday, it’s very inviting!

Amber Nelson says
Our television is at an angle in the corner. I am wondering how that would work??
Kaity | With Kids and Coffee says
This flows so nicely! Sometimes I see a gallery wall around a television and it looks super cluttered, but this really works!
Heather says
Great ideas! We have a very large entertainment unit that I would really like to take out of our living room. It’s a beautiful furniture piece but the room would feel so much more open without it!
Rachel says
That’s pretty but I feel like I would never really look at the art much in those locations or appreciate it. That said I love those frames and I love all the shots you made.
Katherine says
Every beautiful room I see in magazines never has a tv in it. But this is a great solution.
katriza says
