subject: Sneaky Furniture To Hide The Telly [print this page] With so many folks investing in new systems to fall in step with the digital switch, TV aerial installers certainly enjoy packed schedules these days. The digital changeover has led to a huge number of folks giving their old TVs an overhauland maybe investing in new TV aerials...and speakers...and surround sound and multiroom viewing....etcetc! The point being, with all this wonderful technology flying around knocking their socks off with 3D nature shows and surround sound battle soundtracks, a thought should be spared for how all this new gear will fit into the domestic environment.
Modular Media Centres
Modern life is all about modular and bespoke options. Leading suppliers like IKEA, Habitat and Muji are fantastic places to source well-made, highly adaptable modular TV furniture options. Always make sure wires are adequately catered for; its not exactly stealthy, stylish or safe to leave a tangle of wires about the place. Make a plan before shopping take measurements, do some sketches or take photographs.
Wall mounting
By far one of the most popular space-saving options de-clutter, save money on TV stand furniture and free up floor space. Wall mounting a flatscreen TV can be a tough job. Many TV aerial installers are happy to wall-mount TVs when visiting to fit TV aerials.
Textiles
One for the thriftily minded curtains, fabric drapes or a handmade cover can be a great (cheap!) way to hide a TV set. Whether the intention is to protect the TV from dust build-up, screen it from view or protect it from missiles (kids finger painting and sibling rivalry can get WAY out of hand!), textile covers are perhaps the easiest option.
Remote Control Covers
These can be pretty pricey, but the fact remains that a remote control cover (usually with personalised or optional cover art) is a seriously stylish way to hide the TV!
