TVs in the Bedroom - Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

Whenever this topic has come up in the past, I have found people to be very divided on whether or not they would include a TV in the design of their bedroom. I'm currently in the middle of redesigning the master bedroom in our home, and yes, a TV will be present. In my opinion, having a TV in the bedroom is a luxury, particularly on cold winter nights. The bedroom becomes the room of choice to get cozy while catching up on a show or two.


This beautifully designed master bedroom by Candice Olson features a TV housed in custom made cabinetry. If I recall correctly, from watching the episode on this bedroom, doors pull out to hide the TV. This is the perfect design solution to conceal a TV's presence when not in use.

No concealing of the TV is happening in this bedroom, which features a modern aesthetic and a muted color palette of brown, green and yellow. In fact, most of the examples I found for this Ideabook make little effort to hide the TV screen. It is a trend that most certainly has to do with the prevalence of today's flat screen units. Prior to beginning the redo of my master bedroom, there was an ancient "old school" TV hidden behind the doors of an armoire, for obvious reasons!

No question what the feature of this room is. Have you seen a larger TV screen placed in a bedroom? It is surrounded by beautiful and simple cabinetry and shelving, I would just like to see the space softened by a few accessories.
















This ultra modern bedroom of white and black and sleek surfaces houses a TV which fades seamlessly into the design. This effect is a result of the graphic black line running the length of the cabinetry.


Another stunning view! I would most certainly have a hard time focusing on any show being played on the TV in this space.
