Any ideas on how to cover/hide a television in a bed room?

Question

I just found a bed room set at Ashley's furniture store and it is amazing. The problem is it doesn't have the matching armior. I was thinking about putting a flat screen tv on the chest that goes with the bedroom set, but I don't want it to be visible. Any ideas on how I can hide the tv when it is not in use?

Answer 1

Find a carpenter who can make a small cabinet that would match. It would be similar to a dart-board game style...

Or check with the manufacturer, see if they have a website, and perhaps you can special order the armoir. If you're willing to pay, there is always someone willing to sell.

Maybe, you'll just chance upon a matching article on ebay or Tuesday Morning that can be modified?

Answer 2

Please forgive my lack of rhetoric concerning the proper names for the following techniques, but I will try to describe them as best I can.


Essentially similar to a free-standing shower curtain where a drape or curtain (matching the bedding or windowcoverings, perhaps) can be pulled in front of the set when not in use. Possibly even doing so by mounting a shelf to the wall above the TV to hold various knick-knacks and trimmed with a pseudo-valance.

Another variation might be to do something similar to what some people do over their beds with sheer gauzy fabrics which don't merely 'hang' from the walls, but extend outward as a bit of a canopy over the bed.

Just some ideas...

Answer 3

Hang an even larger canvas over the flat tv? And you mean plasma screen, right? Cus those darn circuit city guys will try to sell you a tv with a tube that has a flat monitor screen if you don't.

Answer 4

Under the bed

Answer 5

Cut a hole in the wall, install a shelf, and make the screen flush with the wall. Then hang a picture over it
