In home decoration planning, the TV background wall is the "focus" of home decoration design. Most owners have also invested a lot of financial resources and energy in this space in order to create a more personalized and tasteful home space. After all, the TV background wall is a "background" and must not steal the limelight from the main characters such as the TV cabinet, TV and audio. Therefore, when designing the TV background wall, experienced designers will choose the appropriate shape according to the overall style of the living room, highlighting the style, taste and personality while not making it too visually impactful.

1. Key points of TV background wall decoration design and construction

When making it, if it is a wall-mounted TV, there should be space on the wall (for pre-buried hangers or a solid base) and enough sockets. It is best to conceal a thicker PVC pipe. All wires pass through this pipe to the TV cabinet below, and install the DVD cable, closed-circuit cable, audio cable, etc. inside.

The width of the living room must be considered when designing. Generally speaking, the best distance between a person's eyes and the TV is 3.5 times the size of the TV. Therefore, do not make the TV wall too thick, which will make the living room small.

First measure the position of the sofa. After the position of the sofa is determined, determine the position of the TV. Then, determine the shape of the background wall based on the size of the TV.

Consider the lighting above the TV. The TV wall usually echoes the partial ceiling, which usually has lights, so you need to consider the wall shape and the lighting, and also consider not to shine strong light on the TV to avoid eye fatigue when watching programs.

When constructing the background wall, the thickness of the floor tiles and the height of the skirting board should be taken into consideration to coordinate the various shapes. If the skirting board is not designed, the installation of the panels and gypsum boards should be done after the floor tiles are constructed to prevent moisture.

Painting is a relatively new background wall technique

Ordinary families can directly use it to paint on the wall. If you ask a professional decoration company to paint your background wall, it is generally charged by square meter, and the price is mostly 30-200 yuan/square meter. There are also cases where the final price is determined according to the pattern of the painting.

2. The TV background wall should be coordinated with the living room decoration style

The TV background wall is one of the key points of home decoration and occupies a very important position in the decoration. The TV background wall is usually used to make up for the empty space of the TV background wall in the living room and also serves as a decoration of the living room.

Usually, the TV background wall is the embodiment of the living room style, so when the designer first designs, the first thing he considers is how the style of the background wall matches the overall decoration style of the living room, especially the furniture. It is best to highlight the owner's personalized pursuit while improving the overall style.

If you prefer traditional culture, you can design and match the background wall with calligraphy, seals, painting "elements", etc. Ancient cultural stones and wall tiles, marble with natural patterns, walnut, ash and other woods are all good materials. Stainless steel and glass are generally used to express fashionable and avant-garde styles, and geometric patterns and irregular lines are often used to interpret this style. Some modern minimalist style homes like to use hand-painted, liquid wallpaper or even artistic pigments, and draw some flowers and vines to express an elegant mood.

However, for the TV background wall, the material used is not very important, because the same material can also be used to make background walls of different styles, so the most important thing is to consider the beauty of this part of the shape and the impact on the entire space. Now, after plasma TVs and LCD TVs have become the protagonists of the living room, some designs have begun to achieve "invisibility" of home appliances. Designers use home appliances as elements in the design, place the home appliances in the background painting, and embellish them with appropriate pictures, making them completely part of the background painting.

The use of cultural stone as TV background wall has a history of many years, but until today, its simple and natural style is still favored by owners. In particular, the solid low cabinet design is the first choice for HIFI.

3. The TV background wall should be consistent in color and avoid abrupt shapes

As part of the living room decoration, the background wall must be consistent with the color of the entire space. If the color of the TV background wall is not coordinated with the color of the living room, it will not only affect the senses, but also affect the mood. But generally speaking, elegant white, light blue, light green, bright yellow, red decorated with light gold are all good colors. Too dark and glaring colors can easily make people feel heavy and nervous.

In addition, the shape of the TV background wall should also be carefully considered. Avoid designs with sharp corners and protruding edges, such as triangles, to prevent the formation of "evil" signs. Try not to make meaningless and messy divisions on the background wall, otherwise it will cause mental tension and restlessness to the family. It is best to use a circular, arc-shaped or straight line without edges as the main shape, which implies the meaning of roundness and happiness, making the family harmonious, happy and safe.

If the living room is not well lit, it is recommended to use bright-colored painted panels or glass as the background wall material, which not only enhances the lighting but also looks very modern. The lighting arrangement of the TV background wall is mostly handled by local lighting of the main surface, and should also be coordinated with the ceiling lighting of the area. The lamp housing, especially the bulb, should be as hidden as possible. The lighting of the background wall does not require bright light like the restaurant, and the illumination requirement is not high, and the light should avoid direct exposure to the TV, speakers and people's faces. When watching TV, soft reflected light should be used as the basic lighting.

In the trend of light decoration and heavy decoration, the TV background wall not only plays a decorative role, but also plays a role in sound absorption and noise reduction, especially if the owner likes to listen to audio in the living room. First of all, it is not advisable to choose materials that are too hard or too heavy. If the material is too heavy, it will leave hidden dangers if it is not installed firmly, while the hard material will refract the sound waves too strongly, which is easy to cause resonance and noise.

Secondly, the TV background wall should not be too flat. Three-dimensional or embossed materials should be selected to minimize echoes and noise and more perfectly display the sound quality of the home theater. At present, some designers try to use mineral wool sound-absorbing panels as materials to make TV sound-absorbing walls. The mineral wool sound-absorbing panels are glued to the flat wall or joinery board, and they are combined into certain patterns through careful design. The sound-absorbing panels can also be sprayed with paint into their favorite colors. It is both decorative and practical, and plays a role in indoor sound absorption and noise reduction. Pasting wallpaper is the safest way to make a background wall. Just choose a suitable style.

4. Mix and match the wall to avoid monotony

Whether it is a large or small apartment, as long as the design is appropriate, the background wall can create a grand effect. Please remember that the TV background wall is also a specific form of reflecting the owner's temperament and mind. If the background wall is large, it can be fully utilized both horizontally and vertically. In order to avoid monotony, two or three different materials can be used for cutting and shaping, or a three-dimensional composition can be used to reflect the sense of hierarchy.

It is easiest to use colorful wallpapers and wall cloths as background walls. Just make sure the colors and patterns are suitable for the style of the living room. Liquid wallpaper and art spray are also good choices. They are cheap, come in a variety of colors, and are relatively easy to install. Especially for people who are easily "dislike the old and love the new", TV background walls made of these materials are the most convenient to replace.

It is also a good idea to use unique wall materials to break the monotony of four white walls, such as natural stone, wood, etc., but the material texture must be beautiful and the color must be coordinated with the furniture. Whether it is harmonious unity or strong contrast, it can bring a good artistic feeling. Nowadays, there are also people who use fabrics as background walls. You can choose your favorite colors and patterns according to the season and mood to change the whole room. But please note that if there are curtains in the room, the color must be close to the wall.

There are many decorative paintings on the market, which are made of paper, very light and inexpensive. Just choose the right combination and hang it on the background wall. There are also some resin module combinations with a strong three-dimensional sense and many colors and patterns. Just hang them on the wall after positioning. These two solutions are suitable for owners who like to tinker with things and can change them at will if they feel uncomfortable. If you can't find a satisfactory TV background wall material after picking and choosing, there is another very flexible solution, which is to set up some space in the TV wall area and use shelves to create some geometric shapes. You can use it to place your favorite decorations and make the wall more flexible. The decorations can be replaced at any time to have different expressions. It is simple but tasteful.

This type of live installation is the most popular method at present, which is convenient for furniture matching and reasonable layout. The biggest advantage of live installation is that it can easily change the unreasonable wiring at the beginning. For example, if you want to mount the LCD TV on the wall, you can design a live TV background wall and hide the exposed wires under the live background wall.
