If you have been following my blog you know that the first Wednesday of the month I host a DIY Challenge. I gathered a group of bloggers who loves creating budget friendly home décor like me. 🙂  For May’s challenge, I had one of my readers request to share some ideas on decorating around a TV.   I asked my friends if they would want to share some inspiration and of course they did!  We are going to share how we keep the big black rectangular box from sticking out like a sore thumb.   You can find links to each of their blogs at the end of my post.

Are you one who has trouble decorating around the large flat screen that sits in your home?  How can we make it look more attractive?  Number one decorating question ever!

Mr. Tip doesn’t have much say on the decorating that goes on around our home, but one thing he is very stern with and that would be the television.  He wants to watch it without any of my “stuff ” in his view.

For many years I did nothing to the big ugly monster, I added a vase to the console, but that’s about it.

Back in July I shared a blog post on how I decorated the corner where our television sits.  It was a hodge podge of items.  To view the blog post click on the title here ⇒ HOW TO DECORATE A WALL ABOVE A CORNER TV.

Many people have larger consoles or a smaller television to decorate their console with the size of our television it doesn’t leave me much room.

I do have a little bit of room to place two candle holders on one side and a succulent on the other.  We keep the front of the TV clear due to the remote sensor and sound bar.  I wish we could hide those ugly electronic boxes.  If we could I would, but they also have sensors that needs to be exposed.  We should remove the DVR/VCR because we hardly ever use it.

To decorate my television area the only available space would be the wall above the TV.  Here is how I have our area decorated now.

I picked up the large tobacco basket in Kirkland’s on the clearance shelf back in June of last year it was in the closet all this time.  I grabbed my other oblong basket and our nest sign to add on the wall.  I added a frame inside the larger basket, you know I love to layer!

It still needed something.  I added my DIY Lamb’s ear and lavender wreath to add to the oblong basket.  I placed my DIY tobacco basket with a wooden initial attaching it to the center and another little wording sign to fill in the small space.

To go view the tutorial of both DIY basket and wreath you can click ⇒ DIY FAUX TOBACCO BASKET and DIY LAMB’S EAR AND LAVENDAR WREATH.

As you can see I was able to decorate the area and I kept the viewing area clear for Mr. Tip. It’s a win-win! 🙂

Next up is Cindy over at Cloches and Lavender, she is going to share how she decorated her TV up on her mantel.

I hope you enjoy all the inspiration we shared today on decorating around your Television.
