Decorating With Flat Screen TVs

Many people go to sleep after unwinding with great literature. I'm usually too mind weary to read and I generally hate most of today's TV programs. But still I like having a TV in my bedroom, and most certainly have one in my family room. But it's always been a dilemma as to how to hide the TV, especially now that they are so huge. In past years they looked like they had a huge growth on the back of them. Thankfully with the invention of flat screen TVs, that chore of hiding them is so much easier to achieve and only let them come out with in use. So here are a few easy tips to make decorating with flat screen TVs a cinch:

  • Treat them like art by hanging in a prominent place.
  • Hang over mantel or on wall mounted shelf.
  • Decorate around the screen just as you would a piece of art.
  • Attach decorative molding to the outer edges of the TV.
  • Don't use the traditional TV stand.
  • Place TV on a serving trolley and hang other pieces on the wall around where it sits so the TV blends into the decor.
  • Or cover it up completely inside a beautiful armoire or cabinet.
  • Select a style with doors.
  • Mount your TV on a wall and cover with a decorative cabinet mounted to the wall or artwork that is removable.
  • Set your TV on a bookshelf. They are so skinny now, most bookshelves will suffice.
  • Revisit the subject of TV stands and look for less obtrusive, more decorative styles that blend with your room's decor.
  • Have a specialist install a two-way framed mirror over your wall-mounted TV.
  • When the TV is on, the picture shows through, otherwise it looks like just a mirror on the wall.
  • Get a TV cover that looks like framed artwork. A push of the button will roll up the canvas and display the TV behind.
  • Or get a faux cabinet that hides the TV screen below when not in use. A remote brings up the TV when you want to see a program.

Have Fun With Your Decorating!

Decorating With Wallpaper

If you're looking for a unique way to express your individual taste and personality there is no better way to decorate than by using wallpaper. You can take a simple room and make it look stunning and completely different in just a few short hours. You can wallpaper an entire room, or just a portion of the room, in a way that alters the entire atmosphere of the room.

When you use wallpaper you can also hide the conditions of existing walls that have cracks or other flaws. Wallpaper can take a room from boring to spectacular in a way that paint and other decorating techniques can't do. Wallpaper can make a room look bigger or smaller, which is another way that you can change the functionality of the room.

After you've decided that you want to use wallpaper to decorate a room, there are several other things that you'll need to decide before you go out and purchase your wallpaper and start the project. You'll need to know what type of wallpaper to use to get the effect that you want for your room.

Wallpaper should be chosen depending on the image that you want your room to present. For example, to make a room appear larger than it actually is such as a bathroom, choose wallpaper that has a small pattern like small pansies. Colours also play an important role in this. Light colours make a room appear larger.

Conversely, if you pick patterns that are large, the room will appear smaller and more intimate. Dark colors will have the same effect. If you have a family room in your basement and you want a cozier look, choose wallpaper that is dark rather than light.

If you have a room that you'd like to appear to be high- ceilinged, then you would pick wallpaper with floor-to- ceiling prints, or vertical stripes. Using these techniques will help a long narrow room look like it's wider than it actually is.

Wallpaper colours also influence the mood of the room and bring about atmospheric changes. At times especially in cold climatic conditions you want that your rooms should look much warmer. In such a case you would be wise in picking out colours that are earthy, warm and reflect hot weather such as red, amber, gold, and brick colour.

Vice versa in warm climate your requirement is to make the room look cooler. This is also the requirement in rooms that are heated up by direct sunlight. Here you should pick up colours that are reflective of a cool atmosphere such as shades of green and blue.

Hanging wallpaper isn't difficult and isn't too costly either. It's a wonderful tool if you're renovating or changing a whole look. There are many choices in wallpaper types. Choosing patterns and colors will depend on your own preferences and the intended look and use of the room. Any room can be wallpapered. Just take into account that rooms such as bathrooms, that have a lot of moisture, will require a wallpaper made especially for those conditions.
