There are many ways to creatively make your TV disappear.

Put up video stills of art! Laura Day brilliantly paused Marilyn Minter’s first video “Green Pink Caviar” and the TV totally disappears. Can you spot it? Image via Lonny.

Or, hide it with a mirror! Seura has some sleek products to hide the TV in a mirror.

Auton‘s apparatus chicly covers the TV with sliding art. Love this idea! Media Decor also offers art lifts.

VisionArt frames the TV and inserts canvas art inside the frame which then motors up and down.

Katie Leed cleverly places the TV on a minimalist column with a gorgeous beach scene on the screen. Great idea for an alternative to a wall mount TV installation.

Ooooohhh, heaven! The comfy yet contemporary sectional is a Flexform sofa. De Le Cuona pillow fabric and Stark area rug.

The flagstone flooring wrapping up the fireplace adds a continuity of materials and simplicity to the dining room. Vase, Jerry Pair. Custom andirons, Andrew T. Crawford Ironworks.

Shelton Mindel & Associates are one of my favorite architects of all time. They constantly produce crisp, clean and innovative interiors that exude modernity and yet feel cozy. Residence 5504 is just one example of their inspirational portfolio.

I love the juxtaposition of the clean smooth white wall anchoring the grey stone with white veining fireplace. The horizontal niche flanking the vertical fireplace is also a brilliant touch. The green Finn Juhl sofa adds burst of color and vibrancy yet is consistent in evoking a sense of calmness.

I LOVE these white leather bean bag chairs from Zanotta! They are inviting and look so comfortable. The chandelier is Jean Royere design.

I love the Hans Wegner Flag Halyard chair with the red pillow.

The wallcovering is Josef Frank and the chairs Hans Wegner wishbone chairs. The wallpaper adds a fun groovy vibe against the otherwise pale serene color palate.

What a fun painting idea!

The paneled bleached walnut wall behind the bed adds warmth.
I adore this burnt sienna throw from Susan Chalom designed by Karin Lilja-Makkonen, it echoes the warmth of the walnut wall. Poul Kjaerholm chairs along the sidewall with a 1959 work by Lars Englund above.

I absolutely love fashion designer Jill Stuart’s home from Elle Décor October 2009. It is contemporary, ethereal, homey and you can’t miss the fantastic views and art! This home really showcases the interconnection of design and fashion. Designed by Selldorf Architects.  Check out the eye candy below!
