We create a project for a future niche for TV
Creating a niche for a TV from plasterboard will require you to preliminary study the design of the future structure. Not only will it need to fit the size of your TV, but it will also need to provide enough space for ventilation. In addition, you need to plan a place for installing additional equipment and connecting cables.
To completely “hide” the TV in a plasterboard niche, you will have to make its frame in the form of a shelving unit. It will be like an additional wall pushed forward, on which you can place all kinds of shelves and cabinets around the niche.
This layout will provide additional opportunities for laying communications and installing original lighting.

How to make a plasterboard niche for a TV? Let's consider the sequence of actions when making the simplest rectangular niche for a TV.
- Get started with marking. Make marks on the wall, floor and ceiling.
- Cut the required size fragments of the guide profile and secure them with dowels to the floor and ceiling.
- Define Height vertical racks and cut them so that they are 0.5 cm smaller. This gap will allow them to be installed freely and without deformation in the guide profile. Attach to the upper and lower guides using small metal screws.
- Make headers between the main posts according to your design design.
- When the supporting frame is ready, proceed to cladding with plasterboard. Rationally cut the sheet into separate plates, trying to avoid unnecessary waste.
- Drill holes in the metal profile in the right places for tightening the screws, keeping a maximum pitch between them of about 25-30 cm.
- Press the prepared sheet of drywall firmly against the frame and secure it successively with self-tapping screws. When tightening, you should recess the heads of the screws a little so that they do not protrude above the surface.
- Simultaneously with the installation of drywall, install fittings for sockets, switches and lamps.
- Upon completion of the installation work, you can begin sanding and painting the surfaces.
To create more complex design from a bent profile, you will have to master special technologies that will require explanation in a separate article.

The construction of individual houses and apartments is increasing every year. Consequently, a person is faced with the problem of purchasing different furniture for each room (kitchen, bedroom, living room, etc.). The furniture industry is a rather conservative system. Having mastered the technology of making a sofa or wall and having invested certain funds, the owner therefore demands a return of the money with a profit in a timeframe that is favorable to him.
Design and design of a plaster wall for a TV Typically, the return on capital investment is two years. To have individual furniture you must apply. Interior designers have received a universal construction material.
The design of the furniture made of plasterboard on a metal frame will be functionally adapted to install a TV with the necessary equipment. If you set a goal. Create new interior rooms separated by this partition. Wood and glass with different textures can be used to decorate the TV wall.
To create a plasterboard wall for a TV, you need to complete a design project. Indicate the dimensions of the protruding parts and recesses.
Ready-to-cover TV wall frame Measure the radii and angles of the curved parts of the shelves. Prepare texture references for plasterboard surfaces. Places for attaching profiles to the main wall, if necessary. Having identified all the nodes in the project, they begin to lay out the future wall using measuring tools.
Necessary materials:
Required tools:
- construction hammer and special drills for concrete, brick and wood;
- or ;
- screwdriver or drill;
- and scissors or a hacksaw;
- sandpaper for various purposes, spatula and .
Design option for a plasterboard wall frame for a TV The assembly of the metal structure frame is carried out in several stages:
Frame covering
We begin work with gypsum board sheets by selecting the necessary fasteners:
The process of covering a plasterboard wall 
Having the required dimensions, onto the wall facade elements. To save money, cut lines are first drawn on a sheet of large elements and then small parts are placed between them. After making sure that the surface is used as much as possible, cut each part with a hacksaw or knife.
Plasterboard wall for TV 
Step by step process making a TV wall from plasterboard Ready-made elements The frame is sheathed from gypsum plasterboard. The sheets are attached to the frame with self-tapping screws and a washer, slightly recessed into the cardboard. Fastenings are made with a step between them of 20–25 cm. After completing the sheathing of the frame, they begin finishing the finished wall.
Finishing the finished wall
Wall finishing is carried out in several stages:
- Construction finishing.
- Interior design of a wall for a TV.
Construction finishing
At joints to strengthen the joint of sheets. External corner surfaces are reinforced with perforated corners. Finished and primed plasterboard surfaces are leveled with Uniflot putty. Irregularities from screws, joints and mechanical damage remove using a spatula.
The process of puttying a plasterboard wall After the putty has dried, the surfaces of the TV walls are treated with putty for the surface of Multifinish sheets. Having leveled and dried the putty, the walls begin decorative finishing.
Interior design of the TV wall
The TV wall cannot be the same in both the bedroom and the living room. Each room has an interior design. If you do not change the interior of the room, then the wall should be integral part premises.
An example of the design of a plasterboard wall for the interior of a room 
Considering that drywall is a universal material for use various types finishing, it is necessary to determine the style and color of the TV, since the wall is for the TV, and not vice versa. Next, you need to decide on lighting and local spot lighting for various decorative elements, photographs and indoor plants.
Wall decorations in the living room
Having decided on the place of the TV in the interior, it is necessary to prevent the presence of elements nearby that distract the viewer from watching programs. Shelves should have doors, the color of the coverings should be calm, not tacky, not saturated.
Design options for a plasterboard wall in the living room 
A TV niche in the living room should be interesting. Possibly application water-based paint, wallpaper, fabrics and various stucco moldings. The main thing is that the wall does not conflict, but complements the interior of the living room. 
Having finished finishing the wall, you need to develop a lighting design for the entire living room. Install accent plasterboard walls for the TV for better perception of beauty at night and in the evening.
Wall decorations in the bedroom
The interior design of a bedroom is, in principle, no different from the design of a living room. Additionally, the age of the inhabitants of this room is taken into account. Let's roughly break it down into the following categories:
If the decoration in the living room should be universal for all ages, then in the bedroom it is necessary to approach the occupant of the room individually.
As a rule, bedrooms are designed and built smaller than the living room. And one side is used for window openings, and the other with front door As a result, the smaller side of the bedroom is suitable for the wall.
Consequently, a plasterboard wall for a TV will be significantly smaller than in the living room and hall.
Option for decorating a wall for a TV attic floor 
Design a niche for a screen, at the bottom or on the sides of a stereo speaker and next to it for disks and a VCR or satellite dish receiver. For finishing color range, it is advisable to use soft, pastel shades and unobtrusive light. In the lighting design of the bedroom, use light in the format of spotlights or garlands.
Options for lighting in a TV niche 
The lighting shades are warm white. Cold White color gives sharp shadows. Use existing fixtures and lamps to illuminate the entire bedroom. The video shows the process of assembling a wall for a TV.
Modern televisions are no longer the same “boxes” that every family had 15-20 years ago. They have become more elegant, thinner and wider, with high-quality images and many TV channels. I just want to spend the whole day next to a caring friend who will tell you about all the news, take you to an exhibition, demonstrate a current film and help you become a participant in an emotional talk show.
Which option should you choose?
To make the time spent in the company of a caring assistant as comfortable as possible, experienced designers recommend not simply fixing the panel on one side of the room, but making a niche for it.
Despite the fact that a small part of the room's space will be occupied, this solution seems more profitable than hollowing out the surface and making a niche inside:
- if this side of the hall is load-bearing, then for any work with it it is necessary to obtain a special permit from the municipal housing and communal services service, and it is not a fact that it will be issued;
- if the house is brick, then no special problems are expected, but if you are dealing with concrete, then you will have to spend several times more effort;
- walls in houses come in different thicknesses, and if your design is supposed to have a thin surface, then you will have to act carefully so that instead of the desired design you do not end up with a through analogue.
There are plenty of different options for creating a cozy television alcove; they can be divided according to the following functional features:
- wall structure made exclusively for TV;
- an option in which part of the wall is involved, this can include shelves, a fireplace and other elements, the benefit is double, since all the shelves become part of a single complex, and they do not have to be attached to the surface separately;
- solution where the niche is an element of the complex beautiful design on the entire wall, there are also a lot of winning nuances.
In each of these cases, you can take advantage of ready-made opportunities that the Internet is replete with, try to fantasize on your own, or seek help from experienced designer. With any choice, your living room will be transformed into better side, adding aesthetics and functionality.
This is the most budget-friendly project that will allow you to use any of the three possibilities described above. Wherein:
- you should choose a design where the panel will be completely inside, without protruding outward, this way you will protect expensive household appliances from accidental contacts and keep them in working order;
- Acoustic speakers can also be located here; this advice is especially good for families with small children;
- another advantage of this type of arrangement of objects is that cables and wires can be removed inside the complex, adding aesthetics to the overall appearance of this side of the living room;
- The installed lighting in this alcove, which is comfortable for the eye, will decorate the room, illuminate the necessary area and create an additional effect.
Advice: If you approach the issue creatively, you can not only save money, but also create an interior that will create the feeling of expensive decoration.
Anyone, even a novice designer, will advise you to choose from three alternatives the one that is most suitable for harmoniously filling one side of your living room; a niche for a TV could be:
- rectangular horizontal;
- rectangular vertical;
- oval.
However, there are no strict design frameworks here, and different versions can be combined within one project.
Advantages of the rectangular horizontal option
As a rule, most of these designs are made in a rectangular horizontal format. This solution allows you to fully arrange the thin panel and plan several more shelves to place some necessary items on them. A good addition would be lighting. This project is welcome for both large rooms and small living rooms; in the latter case, it will become visually more spacious.
The uniqueness of the rectangular vertical project
If you want to try experimenting with a rectangular vertical format, then it is advisable to place the TV approximately in the middle. All the rest of the space is filled acoustic systems, books, paintings, CD stands and other items that logically complement the complex.
Rectangular niche - for wide walls
Drywall is an excellent building material for most interior details, be it a fireplace or an alcove. In our case, it is made in a curved form. This makes the whole room more impressive. In addition, the upper part of the room visually increases. Experts believe that this project is ideal for a living room with wide walls.
Oval alternative for large and small spaces
This is one of the least popular projects, because it requires more skilled craftsman due to the difficulties in technology. Of course, this does not detract from, but, on the contrary, favorably emphasizes the uniqueness of the structure. An oval is at least more interesting than any rectangle. If the room is small, then this choice allows you to further narrow the space visually. However, for large living rooms with high ceilings, such an alternative could not be more suitable.
Materials needed to build a niche with your own hands
What should be included in the list of materials for creating an alcove for a TV when going to a building supplies store:
- can't do without aluminum profiles– CW (for fastening parts to a wall or ceiling) and UW (are load-bearing elements, fixing plasterboard panels);
- wood beams, from which the basis of the future project is created;
- It is better to purchase plasterboard panels with a thickness of 12.5 mm; this is the most common building material;
- elements of metal connections fastening profiles;
- dowels and screws.
If you have to work with an oval solution that involves arched elements, you should purchase a profile in the form of an arch, and select drywall so that it can be bent.
Among the tools for work you should take:
- screwdriver and screwdriver;
- drill with speed change mode;
- hacksaw for metal;
- a powered tool that can be used to process profiles;
- a plane, it is useful for cutting and smoothing plasterboard panels;
- construction knife;
- roulette;
- serpyanka (this is glass tape for reinforcing plasterboard parts after its installation on profiles);
- plumb line and building level;
- lace.
Instead of the latter, you can use a regular rope.
Preparing for work
If you decide to work independently, without involving a specialist, it is important to sketch out a diagram of the future scope of work before starting work, and the more detailed it is, the easier the process will be.
This applies to both the designation of all materials used and dimensions, including the estimated dimensions of the TV:
- special requirements for matching the depth of the opening with the thickness of the panel; if a socket is supposed to be behind the TV, then these are additional sizing calculations (it is better if it is located at the bottom);
- it is best to make an opening that is 20 centimeters larger than the plasma panel; such additional distances are necessary to simply stick your hand through for settings and other functions;
- It will be better if the drawing starts from the center of the surface, and to avoid distortions, use the answer.
If the scheme does not include masking the wires, then before constructing the opening, hollow out a channel for them using a hammer drill, followed by masking with putty.
Stage-by-stage design
Installation and subsequent modification of the project is not difficult, the main thing here is to follow the sequence of actions:
- fixing UD profiles with self-tapping screws, this is done according to previously applied markings;
- vertical installation of CD profiles in UD profiles, it is better that the distance between the latter is 60 centimeters, U-shaped fastenings are welcome;
- horizontal fastening of CD profiles on the sides of the structure;
- when the frame is assembled, the TV cable and electrical wiring (backlight) are laid;
- drywall, pre-cut into pieces according to the drawing made, is attached to the metal frame profiles;
- the entire finished structure is processed using putty.
As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated in this process. It is very important to prepare a diagram, materials and tools in advance - and then building a niche will not take much time and will be enjoyable.
Things to remember when constructing an opening:
