13. Integrated Gallery Wall Enclosing the Television
Instead of letting the black television screen sit as a massive, isolated dark rectangle on a blank wall, integrate it directly into a surrounding gallery wall setup. This technique camouflage the screen when it is turned off, transforming the entire entertainment zone into a cohesive, salon-style art installation.
Hang an eclectic yet color-coordinated mixture of framed art prints, black-and-white photography, and small dimensional wall sculptures around the TV screen. Extend the gallery display right down to the surface of the TV stand, letting the bottom edge of the frames almost touch the console top. On the stand itself, place small sculptural items that echo the colors in the artwork above, blurring the lines between media center and art gallery.
