TV Art Wall + More Ideas to Steal!

TV Photo Collage + More Ideas to Steal! | House of Valentina.jpg

I feel like the most frequent topics of conversation I have related to design is: #1 What color should I paint my walls (which the current answer is always WHITE) and #2 Should I hang my tv over the fireplace. It’s not that I am adamantly opposed to a tv over the fireplace, but many of my clients share my opinion that sometimes it is a pain in the neck… literally. So what other options DO we have?



TV Art Wall + More Ideas to Steal! | House of Valentina

One option that I have been toying with myself is the tv art wall. It is inconspicuous, subtle, and clever… I think. What about you? Do you love it? Or do you prefer it over the fireplace?

But this home tour is just too stinkin’ good to only show you the tv. Anyone else want to poke their head around and check out the rest of the place? It’s packed with ideas you can steal, even if you aren’t living in a posh flat in Sweden.

Here’s what I love:


Put a table behind the sofa for plants if you don't have window sills.

    Dear Valentina, I’ve been following you just for a few month now and I’d like to let you know that I get the most out of your posts! I hope my English hasn’t suffered so much over the years since I lived in the US which was about thirty years ago… Anyway, it is so great to "read you" pointing out the little things that make a difference in a room. Moreover you are a very kind warm person! Thank you and best wishes

    We recently moved into a new home and solved the TV issue with buying a Frame TV by Samsung. It doubles as art when the TV is turned off so it looks amazing no matter where it’s placed, we love it! No one can tell it’s a TV when it’s on art mode, they are shocked when we tell them that’s our TV! Great article & I love your YouTube channel! 🙂
