A TV is just sort of one of those "things" that you have to work around when you're decorating most homes, but having a TV just sitting all by it's lonesome on a TV stand or console or hanging on the wall all by itself can get pretty boring.
A really great way to keep the TV where it is, and make a design statement at the same time is to build a gallery wall around the TV.
I originally posted about this in September 2009 using the above image from diyideas.com. Since a lot of you weren't following me at that time, I thought I would revisit the idea again today and include a few more gallery walls to inspire you.
This pretty gallery wall is in the home of Emily A. Clark and she talks about the process of putting it together in her post Building a Gallery Wall Around Your TV...
Tammy at In Stitches was so inspired by Emily's wall that she decided to do her own. She decided that she would only use artwork that had to do with their interests and hobbies. I love that idea!
This one shows you a version that's filling the wall a little more vertically than horizontally, which fits this space better. Just another example of how the idea can be adapted to fit your space...
A little different concept here since the TV actually has a spot built into the wall. It's an excellent idea if your home would accomodate it!

What do you think of TV gallery walls? Do you have one or would you/could you use the idea if you don't?
