How to Build a Gallery Wall Around Your TV with Posters
A popular interior design trend in Swedish homes is integrating the TV into a gallery wall. With today’s modern thin TVs and elegant frames, it’s easier than ever to let your screen blend in as part of the decor. Whether your TV looks like a painting or a simple black box, the key to making it discreet is to build a gallery wall around it.
How to hide a TV with posters
The most effective way to make your TV blend in is to surround it with posters, prints, and frames in different sizes. Mixing small posters in 30x40 cm with larger ones like 50x70 cm creates a dynamic wall where the TV becomes part of the whole. This gives your living room a more curated and stylish expression.
Make the TV part of your decor
Think of the TV as another frame within your gallery wall. Instead of leaving it as a lonely black square, let the posters take center stage. By matching frames with the TV’s edge or alternating between wood, black, or oak finishes, you create harmony in the living room decor.
Tips for building a gallery wall around the TV
Start by placing your TV at the right height—eye level when seated is ideal. Then build your gallery wall outward with posters, art prints, and illustrations. Keep an even distance between frames, including the TV, to make the wall feel balanced. Don’t be afraid to mix styles: from classic artworks to Scandinavian nature motifs, or even colorful abstract posters that add vibrancy.
Combine posters and frames for balance
Large posters can be just as effective as smaller prints when decorating around the TV. Choosing posters with a white border often helps soften the transition between the TV and the rest of the gallery wall. Light oak frames can create a warm contrast, while black frames emphasize a sleek and modern look.
