8 ways to hide a TV

A TV is often the focal point of the American living room but sometimes it’s nice to take the focus off that ugly black box. I’ve collected 8 ways that you can make a DIY (do-it-yourself) solution to hide a TV. There are lots of examples and many of the options have tutorials. Note the source below each photo.

 

1. Hang a track above the TV to slide artwork.
