Undercover Entertainment: the Hidden TV

As much as we all love to kick back on the couch with our favorite show (binge-watchers, no judging!), figuring out proper placement for your TV can be complicated. It has to be visible from your comfiest perch, close to an outlet and other related necessities, and… it often looks so awful, a black rectangle messing with your decor.

Luckily, camouflaging a TV is easier than ever! There’s sure to be a way to stop yours from being an eyesore. Here’s how to master the hidden TV:

Cabinetry or discreet panels – the easiest solution, but not always the most subtle.

In the ceiling: no wall space? No problem. Let your TV drop down from overhead. (Just remember to close it before you bump your head on it!)

Incognito: if you really want your TV to disappear, try one of these awesome TV mirrors. They have TVs built right into the unit – and when the TV is off, it’s a totally standard mirror! It’s available in all shapes and sizes – 88″ screens, round mirrors, medicine cabinets. How’s that for futuristic?
