Love it or loathe it, the TV is usually part of the furniture – but so hard to place just right. Do you want it to be the focal point of your room? Perhaps you want it completely hidden?

For all those choices and more, we have compiled a list of 25 TV placement ideas for all spaces. Have a dekko and let us know which idea resonates with you the most.

2. Hung up on the end wall of a long room, the TV is easily accessible while keeping out of the way. The loose chairs can be moved around for viewing or to partake in conversation.

3. A TV wall unit doubles as a feature wall in this room.
4. This partition between the living area and the kitchen also serves as a place to install the TV. The long glass panel with woodwork embellishments gives an aesthetic look to the arrangement.
5. A retractable system like this, hidden inside a wooden cabinet, is a smart, fun solution.

6. This is a great idea to make the most of a partition wall – the swivelling unit allows for viewing in more than one room.
7. This TV unit for the living room gets a unique, earthy touch thanks to the storage finished in wood.
8. This placement manages to be discreet somehow. The illuminated open shelves draw the eye away from the screen; when the lights are off the TV will have no competition.
9. Tied for time? A TV in the bathroom could be a huge boon to catch up on your favourite shows.
10. For a subtle, non-dominating TV presence in your bedroom, consider this layout where the unit is installed in a corner.
11. In this sunroom, while the focus is on sunbathing, watching nature and the seasons go by, the presence of the TV on the side ensures that there’s another option for entertainment when the weather is gloomy.
12. How to create different zones in a large room? This bit of ‘wall’ that is a customised TV unit acts as a partition between the dining and living areas.
13. Placed high up in a corner, the charming TV unit adds a playful look to the room. Also, kept out of reach, it ensures that the little one has restricted access to the TV.
14. In small spaces, every inch counts. This is why the flat screen fits sideways into this unit – a useful idea.
15. See how the flat screen has been fitted into an architectural element of the room. A great way to minimise its presence and make it a part of the room’s aesthetics.
16. The low slanting ceiling creates an awkward nook for decoration, but a perfect spot for the television.
17. A recessed TV unit like this almost looks like wall art, doesn’t it? It can tilt up and down for convenience of viewing.
18. Here, the TV is tucked away inside a cabinet of the bar unit next to the kitchen for quick, easy viewing.

19. Wondering how to hide the TV in the living room? This smart, well-designed cabinet ensures the TV is completely out of sight when not in use. It’s positioned such that when needed, it can be opened, set at an angle and enjoyed from the sofa.
20. Seamlessly fitted within the wall as one of the panels, this television easily blends in.
21. What a wonderful spot during the winter – who wouldn’t like to host a Game of Thrones viewing here, with the TV home theatre installed in the garden?
22. This TV arrangement in the living room is a clever one. Though placed oddly in the room, the design of the unit is such that it gives an artistic bent to the whole scheme.
23. A smart way to make use of the under-stairs space.
24. The minimal aesthetics of the room are maintained with the TV seamlessly inset in the white cabinet.
25. A TV in the bathroom, placed right in front of the tub, ensures that soak time will never be a short affair.
