I will admit it, I am one of those people who can’t stand the look of a television in the living room. I don’t even have a TV, and consider myself to be a bit TV-phobic. It’s just the way everything is arranged around the TV that really bother me, like its an altar. For this reason, I decided to do a hide-your-TV series of posts, where we look at different ways to hide, disguise or even blend the TV into the interior. Only rule is that it has to look good!

First up is this incredibly gorgeous TV-in-the-fireplace solution in the home of Interior Designer Kelly Giesen:

Kelly built her TV into the fireplace in her living room.

How gorgeous is that?

She did the same thing in her bedroom too, and this is what it looks like before the TV is in place..

When not watching, Kelly covers her TV up with a regular fireplace screen that is fitted with plexi mirrors.

I think Kelly’s home is one of the prettiest I have ever come across. It’s so light, classic and tasteful. Photos borrowed from Apartment Therapy and Kelly’s own blog. Make sure to visit Kelly G Designs here!
