9.\u00a0Add decorative molding to cabinet doors to create the illusion that it’s\u00a0an extension\u00a0of the fireplace mantel.<\/h2>\n

11.\u00a0Purchase\u00a0an oversized macrame wall hanging to discreetly disguise that big black box when it’s not in use.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

12.\u00a0Put the TV in a closet where it can be easily hidden behind closed doors.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
