The easiest route is with a cabinet or armoire. You can get one specifically designed for a television, or you can take a risk and cut some holes for cords and cables in the back of one that wasn’t necessarily designed for that purpose. (This’ll open up your options tremendously.)
For flat-screens, it’s now possible to mount a piece of art over the television on arms that lift up when you’re watching, then bring the piece back down to cover the television when you’re finished.
If you’re tight on space and know how to sew, make a “pillowcase” in a fun, graphic pattern that will cover the television when not in use.
