Television is an imperative part, home interior dynamics changed, arrangements were made to accommodate the TV. From being boxed inside a showcase, the TV has now taken pride of place on the wall. Wall design behind the TV is now an essential part of living room décor in urban homes. Customised wall décor is also a practical way of introducing more floor space and making it childproof.
Incorporated in the wall design, big screen TV gives one a theatrical experience in the comfort of the home. Interior designers have taken the wall décor design several notches up by turning the concept of the TV mounted on walls into an art form by itself, giving families much-needed floor space.
For those who want to use the entertainment wall creatively, here are some clever design tips shared by our home interior experts.
Understand the wall
Before you embark upon the wall design exercise, make a note of where the wall is located, is it next to the window or near the entrance? As it will give you an idea of the light source, frequency of people moving around the area and how to utilise it best. The width and the height of the wall are also important so that you can visualise the wall décor around the TV. A modular shelf can accommodate a lot of things, but the size and the dimension of it can affect your viewing experience.
Wall décor exercise can be quite easy if you know what other things you’d like to put alongside the TV—for example, a collage of photos or a shelf for keeping mementoes and other such decorative items. Modular shelf for the entertainment wall can be incorporated based on these requirements.
The theme of the wall
Planning a home interior requires an interior architect to consider a lot of things, for example, the size of the family, their requirements, habits etc. Sometimes to make it a bit more exciting and creative, a theme is introduced based on the love and likes of the family. The idea of a theme can be incorporated into your wall design for the entertainment zone as well.
A TV wall décor reflects the personality of the household, a book-loving family can showcase their most loved books, or a wanderlust can showcase her travel mementoes through the modular wall shelf. One can even incorporate minimalist design by painting the wall white and keeping some succulents reflecting their Nordic design sensibilities. The wall behind the TV is your playground, and the wall décor is your play.
Balance it with nature
Therapists recommend spending some time looking at greenery when you’re stressed. Also, indoor plants are a good source of pure oxygen. It is quite a task to introduce greenery inside the house in urban homes, for sometimes balconies are non-existent. The smart way is to have some greenery in the wall of your home interior.
Your entertainment wall can solve the greenery issue very creatively. Wall design for TV can beautifully incorporate modular shelves to accommodate greenery without affecting the viewing experience. Plants that need minimal sunlight like sansevieria or money plants make a great addition to your entertainment wall. Indoor creeper plants kept on the top shelf enhances the wall décor whilst soothing your eyes. This way, you can always pick a book to read when you want to take a break from watching Flavourful Origins on Netflix.
Shelf it up
Modular shelves are one of the urban home interior’s space smart space-saving concepts. They help you not only to free up space on the floor, but they also double up as a showcase of your interests.
One can never have too many books, but modern homes generally have a limited space to store all the books you want. Bookshelf around the TV unit is a great way to utilise the entertainment wall. In addition to books, you can also use the shelves for keeping family photos or travel mementoes. Vintage action figures, cars etc., some of your childhood’s favourite toys can also take the place of pride on the shelf.
Pet-friendly wall shelf
Home interior design has moved on with the times and needs of the urban lifestyle. Homeowners now have options to do up their home décor to entertain their four-legged companions comfortably. Surprisingly, the entertainment wall can double up as a place to accommodate hyperactive feline companions.
