A big flat black sleek TV usually stands out as a statement piece in your home interior. After placing all the entertainment equipments adjacent to TV, you have rest of the wall to fill in with appropriate design to make your entertainment wall to look like a part of your decor instead of sticking out like a sore thumb of the space. However, you can also design the wall like the focal point of your living room. Consider the following aspects to make your TV wall functional and luxurious to look at.
Complement the TV with Back Wall
Back wall coverage of your TV unit is a significant element because it must have to complement your TV. Pick the right type of the material very carefully so that the entire wall suits the room and still stands out. Wall coverage material may include wooden panel, 3D wall panels, wall paper, painted boards, formica sheets and rustic tile, etc.
Surround with Art Works
One of the most exciting ways of designing the TV wall is creating a gallery wall around it. You can put some smaller framed artworks or photographs around the TV. But when your TV is the statement piece, play around with similar size frames to complement your TV.

Storages and Display
Ensure plenty of space to accommodate speakers, satellite box and other entertainment units on the TV cabinet to make it functional. Incorporate some open shelves along with some closed cabinets to display accessories or entertainment units. There are varieties of materials that you can use for the TV cabinet such as wood, glass, metal, textured boards, textured sheets, formica pasted boards or you can also paint it with your desired color.
Dramatic touch of Lighting
Use spot lights and LED strip lights as defused lights to illuminate the TV back wall. You can also use color changing LED lights to create dramatic effect to your black sleek master piece TV. But make sure not to use too much of colorful lights. Also keep in mind that it’s necessary to avoid such heat-generating lights.
Hide the Cables

It’s really important to hide the cables and wirings as much as possible because visible cables meddle with aesthetic beauty of the entire TV unit. Cables may remain hidden behind the wall panels.
Accessories
Proper accessories would definitely add a spicy dimension to the TV unite when it is the focal point of your room. This is a great scope to reflect your own taste through the accessories that you want to put. Also keep in mind that too many accessories may look messy. Use moderate number of accessories such as vase, potteries, collected aesthetic objects and show pieces, etc. to keep it classy and elegant. Apart from that add some fresh plants to give a touch of greenery to make the look visually and psychologically agreeable.
