If you’re looking for an idea that will make sure the black off-TV screen blends well with the wall, then a black shiplap TV fireplace wall is an excellent option.

FYI: a shiplap wall is a type of interior or exterior wall where the boards are installed horizontally with a slight overlap between them, creating a distinctive pattern of gaps between the boards.

Although shiplap designs are mostly painted in white, painting a shiplap wall that holds the TV and electric fireplace in black will work wonders. When you switch off the TV, the black screen gets blended into the black color.

9. Long Electric Fireplace With TV Above

This design has to do with the electric fireplace. Instead of choosing a short electric fireplace, you go for a long narrow fireplace.

10. TV above Electric Fireplace Of The Same Length

If you don’t like the above idea, it’s okay. Try getting an electric fireplace of the same length as the Television screen.

This is better than having a large screen and a tiny fireplace. Having a TV of the exact length of the electric fireplace makes it look elegant and expensive.

Since the view is so pleasing to the eyes, you can paint the TV fireplace wall of this design in a white or grey color.

11. Recessed And Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace

A recessed and wall-mounted electric fireplace is another excellent choice if you want to place a TV screen above an electric fireplace. FYI: this electric fireplace is installed into a wall cavity, creating a streamlined and modern appearance.

This type of fireplace is insane. It doesn’t consume much electricity and never requires a chimney. And of course, you get the actual fireplace view and warmth in your room.

As discussed above, a stone or rock fireplace wall is not a new thing. In fact, most of the ancient fireplaces were made of rocks.

The main evolution that has happened here is the electric fireplace and of course. And nowadays people are using rocks and stones to build rustic designs and not out of necessity.

Unlike the above stone idea, a floor-to-ceiling stone wall anchors both the screen and the electric TV. Of course, since this wall has different textures and patterns, it attracts the eyes making it a good focal point.

16. Electric Fireplace under a fireplace Mantel

Most modern living consists of a TV and fireplace wall that is flat. However, this idea consists of an electric fireplace under a fireplace mantel.

This usually consists of two colors. You may try the gray and white color combination.

A fireplace mantel needs to be high enough from the floor. Roughly, you need to make sure that the fireplace mantel is at least 4.5 inches above the floor.

Nothing is more boring than having a black screen in the living room. Although you can paint the background wall black, it’s not as effective as not seeing it completely.

You can achieve this using an electric fireplace with a hidden TV screen. FYI: this is a type of electric fireplace that allows a flat TV screen to slide in and out of it.

I love this idea so much as it eliminates the black screen whenever you’re not using the TV. Similarly, if you want to start watching TV, you’ll just press a button and the TV screen will be revealed.

18.  Brick Electric Fireplace and TV wall

The other interesting idea is to have a fireplace and TV wall made of bricks. You can have the rest of the living in a different pattern like vinyl, boards and battens or shiplap and make a separate protruding wall made of bricks.
