Camoflauging TV with a Gallery Wall

June 20, 2017  Decorating | Uncategorized

I’ve been staring at this black hole of a TV for years and have always wanted to create a gallery wall so the TV would no longer be the focal point.

Indecision crippled me for a long time until I finally narrowed my choices down to these four types of gallery walls.

The decision has been made and I know the suspense is killing you. Drumroll please …

I LOVE IT!!

Sorry for shouting but I can’t stop staring at this wall now.

Before I hung the art, I painted the walls this warm shade of gray and I love the new color.

The black frames help the black TV blend into the wall instead of it sticking out like a sore thumb.

I teamed up with Minted to create this TV gallery wall grid of my dreams.

After

Love this black and white TV gallery wall to help camoflauge the television kellyelko.com

Pelican / Cobweb / Typewriter / Horse / Sand / Slinky

 Fence / Talk Bubble / Sailboat / Firewood

I love that you can buy unframed art on Minted or have it framed and/or matted for you. Each limited edition print comes in lots of sizes too.

Little by little, I’ve been updating my small family room.

First I replaced the clunky console table with this mid century beauty. Next came my comfy sectional sofa that fits my whole family (including our dog Sushi) comfortably and I recently added this petite blue chair I found at HomeGoods.

I love the big fluffy white pillows paired with a couple of red kilim pillows for color and pattern.

Now my quest is on to find the perfect rug.

But in the meantime, you’ll find me hear binge watching Netflix with a big bowl of buttery popcorn.

I love lounging on this Sectional Sofa! It’s so comfy and fits so many people.


And finally let’s check out the before and after – I love the new paint color that makes the room lighter and brighter.

I had so much fun creating this focal wall and the art selection at Minted is huge which means you can really customize your space to fit your taste.
