TVs in Living Rooms Are Always an Eyesore, Designers Say
24.09.2023 - 11:03 / thespruce.com / Ashley Chalmers
Plenty of things stand out in every beautiful interior design photo: a well-styled room, gorgeous furniture, and cohesive color palettes. But if you scroll through the living room, sitting room, and even bedroom photos, you might notice one common thing that is missing: a television.
This isn’t because no one has TVs these days—though Monika Nessbach, the founder and chief interior designer of Designbar, says that’s part of it.
“Many of our clients do not want to see this big black rectangle on their walls anymore,” she says. “Even our multifamily clients opt to leave the TVs entirely out of model units and use art instead.”
If abandoning your TV in the name of art sounds impossible, we get it. Instead, we asked a few of our favorite experts to share their tips for better blending our televisions into a room to avoid a total eyesore.
Known in the design world as that 'ugly black box,' TVs just aren’t very photogenic.
If you’re wondering if the lack of TVs in designer photos is a figment of your imagination, Katharine Rhudy of Reed & Acanthus tells us it's not. They really are considered an eyesore.
“Known in the design world as that 'ugly black box,' TVs just aren’t very photogenic,” she says. “Designers either crop or hide TV in photographs because they distract from the overall design of the room.”
If you don’t want to ditch the television, then Lauren Sullivan of Well x Design gave us some excellent words of warning. As you search for a solution, be sure to prioritize the function—otherwise, you might as well not have a TV at all.
“When disguising any TV, functionality is key,” she says. “Don't do such a good job hiding your TV that it becomes cumbersome just to watch it.”

Glass-Front Fridges Are a Major Trend Right Now—but Are They a Terrible Idea?
Meet the glass-front fridge. This trending style is popping up in high-end kitchens across the internet, showcasing perfectly organized rows of drinks, deli meat and cheese, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Similar to the open-shelving kitchen trend, glass-front fridges can help a space feel more open while providing a unique opportunity for shelf-styling and organization. Unlike the large display fridges you see at grocery stores and convenience stores, residential glass-front fridges usually have a smaller glass window that reveals only a portion of what’s inside.

The wild-ish garden of margaret renkl, and her new book
MY, HOW TIMES have changed. That’s what I keep thinking, looking around my own garden in recent years. I’ve been struck by the same thought over and over as I read “The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year,” the latest book by Margaret Renkl (illustrated with gorgeous collages by her brother, Billy Renkl, like the one above), which takes us through a year in her garden 1,000 miles to the south of mine in Nashville.
