10 Stylish TV Feature Wall Design Ideas For Your Living Room

A statement backdrop for your screentime.

Everyone wants a stunning home – and one of the easiest ways to make your home visually pop? A TV feature wall.

With the plethora of ideas out there, you’re bound to find something you’ll like – based on aesthetics, functionality or both! Here are a few that might just pique your interest:

1. Consider a textured wall surface for a wabi-sabi vibe

Earthy, nature-inspired interiors are the trend among homeowners these days. And while organic materials (like stone and wood) tend to be heavy and hard to maintain, faux materials are always there to give you the same look without the hassle.

WIth its uneven edges, this faux stone feature wall resembles the surface of a rocky cliff – but more than that, it elevates the overall visual texture of the space for extra appeal.

But if that’s too rugged for you, you can always opt for limewash paint to give your feature wall a slight textural finish without jutting out (or crevices that collect dust).

2. Create a faux fireplace with your TV as the centrepiece

Ever wished to own a cosy fireplace to curl up by, like the ones you see in Western homes?

While you can’t actually have a fireplace in an apartment, a TV feature wall dressed up as a faux fireplace can bring the same hygge vibes, minus the heat (which, really, we do not need any more of here in Singapore).

3. Build floor-to-ceiling cabinets for concealed storage...

You can never have too much storage in space-starved Singapore, and the floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in this next TV feature wall gives its homeowners the extra storage space they need.

Should you have a continuous stretch of wall that covers the entire length/breadth of your living room, you may also wish to install floor-to-ceiling cabinetry throughout. Aside from ample storage, this will give the illusion of a space that’s larger than it actually is!

And if you’re concerned about it looking too flat, consider going for shaker style or shiplap cabinets with detailing on the front.

4. ...or use fluted panels for visual interest

Disagree with the notion of “conceal, don’t feel” (that’s a Frozen reference, in case you’re wondering)? Well, your TV feature wall can also double up as a display area for any collectibles you’d like to show off.

In the case of this home, the owners have chosen to display their vast collection of books, with fluted panels and backlit shelves that create visual interest while keeping things neat.

Bonus: for anyone planning to keep appliances like a Nintendo Switch or Playstation in there, these panels also help prevent overheating!

5. Use carpentry for an accent wall in a contrasting colour...

One of the simplest ways to make your TV feature wall really stand out is to use a contrasting colour as a backdrop.

In this example, the homeowners used a warm wood-look feature wall that breaks up the monotony of the whitewashed walls behind it, while still fitting seamlessly into the overall white-and-wood theme.

But if that isn’t enough for you, try playing with shapes and patterns that add character – without going over the top, of course.

6. …or opt for wallpaper

Wallpaper can emulate different textures like concrete and rattan (sans the maintenance required), which are almost impossible to recreate with regular paint – so it’s no surprise that some homeowners use them to create a visually-striking area.

Case in point: this wallpaper-clad TV feature wall, boasting a subtle striped design that blends into the modern theme of the home.

7. Create a backdrop with tiles

Tiles aren’t just used for a kitchen backsplash or flooring – they can be used as the backdrop for your TV feature wall as well! While you’re at it, you can opt for something funky like this resale flat, where denim-print tiles are put together in an asymmetrical shape that falls in line with the home’s eclectic vibe.

Alternatively, go for something that’s more muted but no less aesthetic – like this BTO that combines the use of tiles and carpentry for its TV feature wall.

8. Draw attention to your TV feature wall with accent lighting

Lighting isn’t just meant to light up your home – when done right, it can add dimension and warmth to the space and draw attention to your favourite areas in your home, like your TV feature wall.

In this particular home, the warm recessed light illuminates the texture of the limewash paint and adds another degree of dimension to the area.

9. Have it double as a room divider…

Space planning is especially important in small homes like 2-room BTOs. To open up the space while still having distinct zones, a TV feature wall can double as a divider between your living room and bedroom.

Needless to say, you’re free to adopt a similar concept even in a larger unit.

Rather than building an enclosed study, the owners of this 5-room BTO used a half-wall to demarcate the study and living area. In turn, this also functions as a backdrop for the TV and conceals its cables for a clutter-free look. Simple, but clever!

Bonus: If you enjoy watching the TV from both the dining table (during meal times) and the sofa (at all other times), you don’t need two separate TVs. Instead, serve multiple areas with a swivel TV setup built into the room divider!

10. …or a privacy partition

Many of us like to shut our gate but leave the front door open for ventilation while we’re home. The only downside? This invites prying eyes.

To solve this, we’ve got just the idea for you – a TV feature wall that pulls double duty as a privacy partition! Plus, when done right (as with this resale flat), it will undoubtedly add to the aesthetic of your abode.

Should you wish to enjoy wind flow, there’s always an option of including ventilation blocks – particularly if you’re going for a retro or edgy aesthetic.

Do note, however, that they will require the light cleaning every week as dust tends to accumulate there.
