How to hang art on a TV wall without competing with the screen?

Skip symmetrical arrangements around the television and hang an asymmetrical cluster of two or three artworks on one side of the screen instead. Exact symmetry emphasizes the dark rectangle of the TV, whereas an off-centre gallery wall balances the composition and helps the screen blend naturally into the living room decor.

Maintain a clear gap of at least 20 cm between the edge of the television and the nearest picture frames. The total height of your art arrangement should roughly match 80% to 100% of the screen height, with the visual midpoint kept at seated eye level, approximately 100 to 110 cm from the floor.

To minimize distracting light reflections, choose matte surfaces such as cotton canvas stretched over wooden bars or cotton fine art posters behind anti-reflective plexiglass. Slim ayous wood frames in black, white, or natural oak define the artwork cleanly without competing with the TV bezel.
