How to Treat Your Flat-Screen TV Like a Work of Art

Gone are the days of ginormous entertainment centers. A flat-screen offers many more whimsical options.

Today’s fancy TVs almost look like another piece of wall art. Our advice? Treat yours as if it is. Rather than encasing it, or placing it on a stand, just hang it on the wall. Buy a large picture frame to put around it (yep, we meant the art thing literally). But don’t worry about finding a frame that fits perfectly. If there’s a gap between the TV and the frame, just paint the gap the same color as the TV. Viola! Now a screening of Real Housewives will seem like high art, right? Er…not quite.
