Today on desire to inspire<\/a> Kim did a post on what to do with a television. It got me thinking about all the interior images I’ve saved and if any of them might help in figuring out the best place for that necessary beast. <\/p>\n

And what did I find after looking through all of our tumblr<\/a> and my personal desktop file? Only a sad few to add to desire to inspire’s picks<\/a>. It seems that the way to go is to either hide it completely away or choose a designated spot and just deal with the fact it’s out in the open. Personally, that’s what I’ve done in my own home, and trust me, every once in a while I cringe when I notice what a big black hole of machinery it is… alas, one of life’s many compromises. <\/p>\n

I’ve included a few photo picks from Kim’s post and a few that I found searching through my own stack of saved images. If you’ve got some to add, let me know<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"\/vogue-living\"
\nOut and proud… from our tumblr pages, via yellowtrace.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n

\"dagens-loftdrom\"
\nAlso out and in full view… from our tumblr pages, via The Things<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Style
\nWhile this is out in the open, the art above and cabinets below frame the television so it’s not as much of a sore thumb. via desire to inspire<\/a>, source: Style At Home<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hus
\nCustom cabinets with doors would do the trick of hiding when not in use… via desire to inspire<\/a>, source: Hus & Hem<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SemelSnow\"
\nOr, just a custom built-in with a special spot for the tv… via desire to inspire<\/a>, source: SemelSnow <\/a><\/p>\n

\"lonny-mag\"
\nTreat it like art? from our tumblr pages, via Design Evolution<\/a><\/p>\n

Main photo image at top of page via desire to inspire<\/a>, source: William Abranowicz<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, Scott from ideationdesigns.com<\/a> wrote in to suggest\/add that two other options are to hide a TV behind a one way mirror or put it behind some sheer or opaque drapery. He’s provided a couple of links:<\/p>\n

one way mirror: designlinesltd.com<\/a>
\ndrapes: elledecor.com<\/a><\/p>\n
