40 Stunning Ideas for TV Fireplace Wall

Here are interesting ideas for fireplace walls with TVs to cater to various needs;

1. Modern Fireplace TV Wall

A modern fireplace TV wall offers a clean and neat look. Typically, modern fireplace wall designs come in different variations, but usually share the basics. Their frameless gas or electric fireplace keeps you warm while giving the room relaxing ambient lighting.

You also don’t need the typically thick frames to hold the TV. A simple non-visible wall bracket does the trick. Finally, the fireplace’s frameless design and TV contours pair well with the clean wall for a sharp and trendy look.

2. Linear TV Fireplace Wall

If you are remodeling and want to give your home a modern transformation, you can’t go wrong with a Linear TV fireplace wall. Amongst the most popular and trending interior design styles, its clean, sharp, and minimalistic setup explains why it’s loved.

The design offers a neatly recessed TV mounting that is complemented with an equally clean and modern electric fireplace. The lighting from the fireplace creates a warm and luxurious ambiance as it reflects off the frameless and sharp-edged light-colored walls. No more chunky frames and thick wall details!

3. Contemporary Fireplace TV Wall

A wooden fireplace TV wall doesn’t have to include thick and chunky wooden frames.  Opting for a more contemporary design gives you the option of a wooden wall but, with a cleaner, smoother, and sleek setup. Pair it with a glass electric fireplace and you instantly have a contemporary modern living space. You can go for any wood, whether MDF, birch or other light-colored wood.

4. Or Get A Shiplap Wall?

A Shiplap fireplace wall is rustic and practical. The wall design securely holds your fireplace and TV while giving your living space a facelift.  You can install it yourself or get a contractor to help.

5. Cabin Style TV Fireplace

Reminiscent of a log cabin, the Cabin-style TV fireplace is complemented by piles of wooden logs on either side for a cozy and warm vibe. You can choose to go for the traditional wood stove or an electric/gas furnace, leaving the logs to be more ornamental.

On the other hand, the TV rests safely inches away from the furnace and is held comfortably in a recessed shelf partition. Additionally, you can opt for the central wall portion with the fireplace and TV alone. However, if your budget allows it, go for the complete look with bookshelves on either side for an even cozier look.

6. Farm House TV Fireplace Wall

If you are fond of farmhouse interior designs, this farmhouse TV fireplace wall is what you need. The design takes a more modern approach with a cleaner wooden detail but retains the traditional all-white finish.

7. Cabinet TV Fireplace Wall

While different fireplace walls for TVs can come with extra shelving, you can also opt for a design that is dedicated to showcasing your shelf design.  A cabinet TV fireplace wall really gives you the chance to get creative since you can take any direction you want. It also accentuates your living space as it doesn’t only outline the fireplace and TV. Instead, it makes good use of your space to add extra creative elements.

8. TV Stand Fireplace Wall

If you are on a budget and want to take a less costly route for your fireplace wall, a TV stand-style wall may be the way to go. This option is much smaller in design and uses fewer materials. Its smaller size makes it perfect for small homes and apartments too. In fact, it’s even an excellent potential DIY project you can put together on your own.

All you need is to purchase an electric or gas fireplace and get a professional to install it for you. However, you can do the entire actual frame/stand construction. If you are in the mood to splurge, you can replace regular wood with more expensive mahogany or antique wood to instantly achieve a regal vibe in your living space.

A simple sanding of the surface, a white paint job, and a downlight installation will do the trick. You will only spend a small portion on an electrician who will need to do the fireplace and lighting electrical connections.

17. Marble Fireplace Wall with TV

21. Stonewood TV Fireplace Wall

Give your home a cozy and natural look by installing stone on your fireplace wall. For an even better natural appeal, reminiscent of a cozy mountain resort in Aspen, pair the wall with a wood stove and rustic wooden log that doubles as the shelf for entertainment accessories, like a Blu-ray player or cable box.

22. Add Small Details to Your Natural Stone Wall

If you already have a natural stone fireplace TV wall, you can add tiny details that can make a significant impact. For example, you can spruce up light Stonewood by grouting it. The white-colored grout helps to give the stones a more pronounced and striking finish. Place your TV on the wall shelf or mount it to the wall to complete the look.

23. Or Go the Chic-Way?

FAQs

Do you have questions regarding styling a fireplace TV wall? Here are answers to some common questions;

How do you style a room with a TV and fireplace?

The best way to style a room with a TV and fireplace is to place them perpendicular to the walls, like in a shiplap wall design. On the other hand, the furniture works best opposite the TV and fireplace to give you a good non-strained view of the TV and a clear line of sight to the fireplace for adequate warmth.

Can you hang a TV on a fireplace wall?

You can certainly hang a TV on a fireplace wall. But, design this setup in a way that the heat is directed away from the TV to prevent damage or possible fires. One way to do so is to use a mantle or shelf to separate the TV and fireplace.

Is a TV over a fireplace a good idea?

It’s okay to mount a TV over a fireplace. However, it may not be a good idea if you don’t manage the excess heat produced by the fireplace. After all, areas above the fireplace are usually warmer than other wall surfaces.  When combined with electronics, it can be a recipe for a fire.

How do you build a built-in TV and fireplace wall?

There are several ways to build a TV and fireplace wall, depending on the design you want. The easiest way is to build a frame using wood panels, finish it with a paint job and then, securely attach the fireplace at the bottom and the TV at the center top part.

Where should a TV be placed with a fireplace?

With proper measures, you can place your TV atop the fireplace, at the meeting point of your fireplace, and on the perpendicular wall.  This creates a focal point giving you a direct view of the TV and direct exposure to the warm heat coming from the fireplace.

How can I make my TV look better over the fireplace?

The best way is to make the TV your focal point. To do so, add decorative details around the borders of the TV. This can be anything from a matte paint job to patterned tiles or natural stone.
