1. Simple and classic fireplace TV setup
Here’s a simple take on a TV setup with a fireplace. Don’t overthink your decorating options. The first thought on how to decorate your fireplace and set up your TV can be simple. Go with a time-honored layout of placing your TV above the fireplace. If your fireplace doesn’t have a mantel like in this living room, make one! Use a floating shelf to fake a mantel, then decorate it with a small plant, some books, and your favorite trinkets. And a simple piece of decor that you can make is with a tall vase and some decorative mini tumbleweeds. It’s an easy touch to add some texture and visual interest to your space.
2. Farmhouse fireplace and TV decor
Dress up a fireplace mantel and your TV using some classic farmhouse charm. You can use the same idea here of making your own mantel if your fireplace doesn’t have one.
This one is especially beautiful. The dark wood shelf accents the white tile of the fireplace. And the mantel also looks great in the space and feels intentional thanks to the thickness of the shelf. Add some farmhouse style wall sconces with LED candles on either side of the TV to add a soft touch. Next, decorate the mantel with a plant garland and an adorable flower tray like in this living room. To recreate the look, grab an aluminum caddy. Next, decorate with flowers in mason jars for a real farmhouse feel.
3. Classic and modern fireplace decor
Keep it classy and simple with this fireplace and tv decor idea for your home! A monochromatic color scheme will help you achieve this classic and beautiful look.
Match the decor in your living room with some candle holders. Choose ones in a neutral brown color. Then get matching items like photo frames and a beautiful teardrop shaped vase to show off your favorite flowers! The mini succulents in this living room are especially cute! Plus succulents are a perfect choice for a fireplace mantel. Especially since these won’t need much watering. That means very little mess near your electronics! Or if you go the route of fake plants then there’s no mess at all to worry about! Don’t forget about decorating the front of your fireplace too! You can do this by leaving your throw pillows and blankets in a blanket and some stacked baskets on the side.
4. A modern, clean fireplace and TV setup
Blend your TV and fireplace into one beautiful area using this decor idea. Make your TV a part of your home decor by creating a gallery wall with your TV. This living room decor makes the space feel beautiful with the use of hanging wall art on a photo rail. Add some small sculptures of different heights just in front of the corner of your TV to frame it. Plus add some large and beautiful flowers in tall vases to further frame your TV. Doing this helps the TV placement feel purposeful. And you can achieve this by putting the decor up front and accenting your TV instead of trying to hide it.
5. Frame your TV over the fireplace
You don’t need a fancy wallpaper tv to get the same look. This dark fireplace is beautifully accented by a gold frame. It helps to create a very sleek, modern and high-end look.
Add some candles, real (or fake!) plants and books to spruce up the mantel. Decorating your fireplace mantel can be as simple as decorating your coffee table. Plus to get the same art frame look as certain tv brands you can get the same look for much less and way easier. What’s great about this is you don’t have to go through all the difficult work of creating a custom fit frame. Just get your favorite frame, paint it gold and hang it on your wall before putting up your TV. Complete the look with a deer head wall sculpture!
6. Woodland fireplace decor
Create a warm woodland fairytale picture right in the heart of your home. Decorate the top of the fireplace but also don’t forget the bottom of it too. Add some decorative pieces like a basket of logs or blankets. You can also add a magazine rack to hold books. Create layers of decor that help everything blend together seamlessly. You can do this by framing your fireplace in this way. One of the big concerns you may have in putting your TV by the fireplace is that it will stick out. By decorating in layers and adding pieces to the top and bottom, you can create a cohesive look.
7. A muted classic for fireplace decor
This is a decor idea that works whether you have a frame TV or not. The look is all the same. It’s all about framing your TV between two bookshelves. This sort of place helps the TV feel purposeful. You can achieve this whether you have built-in shelves or add cabinets on the sides. By having shelves with other decorative items it helps balance the space. The TV and fireplace can be the main point of focus. But by having the shelves, it helps fill up the space that would empty around the sides of the TV. Even with a regular TV, you can try getting specific wallpapers to achieve a similar look.
8. A monochromatic fireplace mantel
Here you can see a similar idea as before but in a way you can recreate if you don’t have built in shelves. Simply use two matching bookshelves and place them beside your fireplace and TV. Place your TV over the top of your fireplace to create one long visual column. By doing this and pairing it with two bookshelves on either side of the same height, you create a visual balance. And this visual balance is what makes the space look as good as it does. Creating a beautiful look is easy. Do this by keeping the decorative items simple and monochromatic. Just a few simple candles and pieces in similar colors can really streamline your decor.
9. Traditional fireplace decor with TV in the corner

Whatever the reason, know your living room can still be stylish. Even with a different arrangement. Add some decorative items like candles, books, and your favorite trinkets. Place these items around your fireplace mantel and TV for a cozy look. This living room has a great touch with the tall candle holders. Plus the way they’re each different heights and thickness make the decor unique. Adding some candles can tie in a traditional look for your living room.

Another way to frame your fireplace and TV is again with bookshelves. Whether you have built-in shelves or add furniture, this touch makes the space feel very cozy.
