8 Ways To Hide Or Camouflage A TV In Your Home For A Clutter-Free Look
Mobile phones and laptops get the job done but let's be real, nothing beats watching movies, Netflix shows and K-dramas on a large-screen TV!
If you've ever wished that your TV would disappear right after you turn it off, that's understandable. A large black screen can be an eyesore and you may not want it to be the focal point of your living room or bedroom. Fortunately, there are some creative ways that you can hide and camouflage it.
Keep reading to find out eight ways to hide or camouflage your TV!
#1 Hidden TV in cabinet
This is one of the simpler ways to hide a TV. You can place the TV in a ready-made or in built-in cabinet. Once you don't need it anymore, you can simply close the cabinet doors and the TV is out of sight.

If you have a bigger budget, you can opt to have it automated to raise from the top of the cabinet. This design is especially suitable if your cabinet is placed by a window as the view and natural light isn't obstructed.
#2 Hidden TV behind "books"
Can you spot where the hidden TV is?
The answer is behind the "books" which are actually cabinet doors with a book-print wallpaper. It blends in seamlessly with the shelves and actual items displayed on it. At a glance, it looks like any other bookcase.
#3 Hidden TV behind framed art
This TV is hidden behind two framed art pieces that slide open. Style it with a dresser and decorative items to make it seem even more like a display area. You can also add more framed art to create a gallery wall and help camouflage the framed TV even further.
#4 Hidden TV behind sliding doors
The wooden panelling looks like a design accent but slides open to reveal a TV. This gives the living room a sleek look when the TV is covered while making it easy to access the TV.
#5 Hidden TV in wardrobe
For late night TV screenings in your bedroom without an unsightly black screen staring at you in the morning, hide it in your wardrobe!

If you're short on space, you could also opt to camouflage your TV rather than hide it completely. One clever way to do this is to prop your TV up on an easel. When switched off, it'll look like a black painting!
#7 Camouflaged TV as framed art
If you have a smart TV, you can program it to display works of art when not in use. With a frame around the TV, it'll look just like a piece of art! On the downside, this will use up more energy than just powering it off. ?

This another way to hide your TV in plain sight. For this design, I had custom floor-to-ceiling cabinets built in the living room with a hole to insert the TV. The glossy black cabinet panels align with the height of the TV perfectly so the black screen blends in seamlessly. I've had a number of guests who were puzzled when asked to switch on the TV! ?
Another alternative is to ditch the TV altogether and use a home projector instead! Check out our top six picks of home projectors for every budget that you can buy in Singapore.
