The television is really big to try and conceal but here are a couple of ideas.

1. Paint the wall a dark color so the tv blends in
2. Don't put the tv in the center of the wall put it to the left or the right.
3. Create a gallery wall around the tv, though this is not a popular solution on Houzz
4. Create interest on the wall that gives something else to focus on besides the tv. Maybe wallpaper.

This article offers some interesting solutions.

Have you thought about building cabinets and/or bookshelves around the TV and making it a feature wall with the TV surrounded by the bookshelves. I would put some decorative items ( LED lights for the shelves to highlight items and brighten the shelves or highlight the books on the shelves. From the photo shown, I would build them made to match the height of the windows. This would give you some storage and the shelves could be painted to match your trim work or in a dark color to help the TV blend into the builtins. I am not quite sure what you mean by double height ceilings, does the room have two story ceilings? Could you post a floor-plan or some additional photos of the room? Perhaps there is another location in the room for the TV that will work for you?

What I might do....much longer console, basically running from near the window to close by the door. Paint the wall dark. Float short, shallow ledges from above console to above the top of window, making a vertical art "ribbon" of strong graphic images. Replace lamp in the corner with a stronger sculpted silhouette. Pull chair forward. Make sure the rest of the room is intriguing ;-)

Thank you everyone for the recommendations. The room does have two story ceilings.

Look for a very wide piece (or two side by side) that extends across the entire wall to balance out the TV screen.

Not sure I would agree any of the examples here 'conceal' anything but I agree with the thought to try and make the TV just another element in the room vs THE FOCAL point. I struggled with this truth for quite sometime. The TV was such a PRESENCE in the room, especially as they grew. At some point one has to accept how one lives and the world we live in. TV is a major part of our daily entertainment...it is what it is.

I totally agree with Arcy. I don't think there's a need to disguise the electronic elements that are a part of almost everyone's lives. Today's TV is not unattractive in my opinion. It's sleek and certainly nothing like the ginormous boxes we used to have to decorate around.

As a child, I grew up with a huge TV console cabinet. It dominated the room. Every chair faced it. Mother tried to decorate the top of it. but it the TV put out a lot of heat, so the cats always wanted to nap on top. That was 50 years ago.

In the big scheme, TV's are far less imposing that they once were. If you don't want to build shelving and cabinetry around it, painting the wall dark and putting a long console beneath is minimizes the impact.

Cabinetry to hide it or paint and credenza to minimize.

Ah, memories! Compare this to the similarly sized screen on the shelf above it! ;)

OMG that does bring back memories!

Painting the wall behind it black so the TV blends like the one below works well coupled with art above

Or have sliding doors or sliding art over the TV so it disappears

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

We think the black or darker feature wall would work well doe us. Does anyone have any wallpaper suggestions for the wall? The style of the house is '90s traditional and we try to decorate - transitional. The photos show the TV wall and the opposite side of the room. Thanks!

An easy way to disguise a TV. The site is somewhat screwed up but you get the idea. http://tulipandturnip.blogspot.com/2011/03/hiding-tv-eyesore.html

Hiding it:

If you choose plantation shutters for the windows in your room, you could add narrow vertical shelving on each side of wherever you set the tv. Then add white horizontal shelving between those vertical shelving units -- installed at the same height as the top and the bottom of your window trim -- and add plantation shutters that will hide the tv as if you're covering another window. Horizontal between the two vertical shelving units that is below the tv and also hidden behind the plantation shutters could be used for storing media related items.

Your current tv cabinet -- if you add a "hutch" ( shelving built to set atop it ) -- could become your dining area sideboard.

Certain walls in a room can become a focal point of design and function. Your wall in this location does not lend itself to that to me. Just my opinion. A bigger console is where I’d start.

If you choose wallpaper, choose geometric design ... not floral.

Consider adding a box shelf on the wall beneath the tv (use the cabinet elsewhere).

With shelving boards and black paint you can make these with the shelf as deep/tall/wide as you want and with or without a top hinged door to hide media related items within it. (You can also create a single or a pair of faux (hollow) "legs" against the wall beneath it to it to hide wires as needed.)

Like that you have a plant ... ?living?; if so, it might need light from the windows.

A plain wood bar stool with its wood finish or painted any color you want can make a plant stand that could sit in a corner behind or beside furniture. You might check local thrift stores for a bargain on one.

you could always do a dark wall and then something like this

you need some artwork over your sofa

Get a long low console and then do a gallery wall including The Frame TV made by Samsung and other art of your choice.

I saw several displays at a Samsung Showroom and it is a very nice, slim, sleek looking TV that hangs just like a piece of framed art.

and get rid of the ladder

Thanks everyone!
