Wall in the living room without a niche for TV: pros and cons, choice and placement

For many years, television was considered one of the main elements of the living room. However, time does not stand still. Television is gradually being pushed into the background. Many modern people prefer to spend time on a laptop or tablet. Therefore, a logical question arises, how to equip a room without unnecessary equipment? A wall for a living room without a niche for a TV is an excellent solution.

Contrary to stereotypes, a living room without a TV will not seem empty. The role of the main emphasis in the interior can be performed by other elements. Coziness will add a fireplace or a raised fireplace. A huge wall mirror will visually expand the space. The room will give dynamism to the area for board games. The hall can be decorated with paintings, framed photos, murals, stained-glass windows. Even beautiful furniture alone will attract attention and ennoble the room. However, not only people who abandoned the TV in favor of the Internet can look for furniture that does not involve the installation of this equipment.

There may be other reasons.

• If the owners decided to withstand the interior in a simple classic style, modern technology may simply not fit into the atmosphere. In this case, the TV is hidden behind a screen or a fake cabinet.
• The device can be very large. Oversized plasma is simply impossible to squeeze into the space allotted by manufacturers for equipment in traditional walls.
• Sometimes the sofa can’t be put opposite the wall. In this case, the equipment is located elsewhere.
• The TV may be located in another room due to personal preferences (for example, in the bedroom).

In each of the listed cases, the acquisition of a wall with a niche for a television is impractical. If the wall already exists, you can exit the situation using the opening in an unexpected way. You can put vases with flowers, lamps, beautiful large decor in it. And you can equip a niche with a fluffy rug and decorative pillows, creating a relaxation corner in it. If the furniture has not yet been purchased, it is better to immediately pay attention to models without a special place for the TV zone.

Consider what options are offered by modern manufacturers, as well as what are the advantages of such solutions over traditional ones.

The advantages of a wall without a niche for a TV zone are obvious.

• The functionality and spaciousness of such furniture is much higher, because every centimeter is used to the maximum benefit, but there are no empty spaces.
• Such a wall allows you to move away from stereotypes and equip the space more original.

Only one minus. With the same size, cabinet furniture without a specially allocated space for a TV will cost more than a similar wall with a niche. The fact is that the place of the TV zone will be occupied by shelves and drawers, which will increase the number of materials used in the work.

Conventional case models without a niche for a TV zone are a rarity. However, they exist. It could be traditional large design, mini-wall slide or corner option. Oversized walls that do not require the installation of a TV are usually performed in a classic style. Manufacturers understand the importance of styling space, so they produce massive designs that are characteristic of the classics, without unnecessary elements.

The slide is a compact option. It is ideal for small rooms. Most often these are modern models, but furniture with classic features is also found. Typically, these are structures consisting of open shelves, a pair of glazed or blank cabinets. Sometimes the furniture has a low stand, on which you can put equipment if you wish. However, this is an unconventional niche. There is free space above the stand, so you can safely put decor items of any size on it. You can hang pictures, watches, photographs on the wall. The feeling of a missing TV will not be.

The corner structure occupies 2 adjacent walls. This option allows you to save space in the room. The lack of a niche for the TV zone here is a plus. You can use the corner as efficiently as possible to store various things, and hang the TV on a wall in another place, for example, in the center of the hall.

Modern furniture with a built-in computer table is a very practical option. If you spend a lot of time at the computer, the combination of cabinets, shelves and a workplace will allow you to rationally use the room space.

Modular walls are very popular today. In the classic version, it can be separate wardrobe cases or display cases with a capacious cabinet or chest of drawers. Typically, high elements are placed on the sides of the lower, creating a symmetrical composition. All components are made in a single design, but at the same time they are separate elements and can be placed in the room in any way at the request of the user. Often they put a TV on the stand. However, it can also be used as a stand for decor.

Minimalistic walls have a concise design. As a rule, these are open shelves and rectangular or square blocks of 1, 2 or 3 colors. They can be placed on the floor and hung on the wall in any order. This allows you to create interiors with a unique bright personality.

A classic, austere wall made in a noble brown hue helps to recreate the atmosphere of past years. Solid leather armchairs, carpet, floor lamp with fabric lampshade - all this is combined into a single harmonious atmosphere. There is no place for modern technology.

The space empty in the center of the furniture composition is perfectly filled with a vase of flowers, books and a picture. Lightness and grace are the other side of the classic in interior design. Here, the lack of a TV zone is also imperceptible.

Practical minimalism - the choice of modern business people. Shelves for books, a pair of laundry compartments and a computer desk - that's all you need for a comfortable pastime. At the same time, the interior remains airy and harmonious.

Symmetry in modern space is also sometimes used. Here, the central place is reserved for a large chest of drawers and a hinged open shelf.

And here is an option in which you can change the decision at any time. If you want, you can put the equipment on the modules standing on the floor, or hang on the wall in an empty place. As long as there is no need for a TV zone, any objects can occupy the space.
