Ideas for TV Wall Cutout?

you can use it as a drinks cupboard, with flash doors no handles. you just press to open

Book shelves maybe or display cabinet

Bookshelves or display or if you don't want to use it hang a mirror or picture over it

Drywall to enclose, it is outdated

Paint in a different color and add floating shelves.

Mirror the back wall. Add glass shelves and a piece of granite on the bottom to make a great wine bar.

You can add stereo system or wine storages . Hope this help

I would make thick faux floating shelves in black to match the fireplace surround and paint the back wall of the alcove an accent colour or the beige marble colour of the fireplace then use it as a display area or bar area. If you use it as a bar area I would make the shelves with slotted bottoms to slide stem ware into for them to hang and add back lighting. If you recess the shelves back a bit you could put glass magnetic doors on the front, the kind that are used on stereo cabinets, which would be good if you have young children.

I like the floating shelves idea a lot. But you also can use it to display a nice piece of art. You can also use those picture lights from Ikea to give it some umph!

I would also paint the inside to contrast the art. *you can use those stick on under lights at the top...for display purposes.

OR a Tall Vase with a Cascading _Flowering plant...would be nice.

It would make a great built-in bookshelf or a media center. Or if you like plants put a plant light on the top and glass shelves in there.

I have seen flower arrangements in these as well as artwork, statues etc. put in there.

I would put in a small silk tree and add some little led lights to the tree. I have a silk cherry tree and have done this and it really looks beautiful both during the day and the night. Then the area looks like it was made like that on purpose!

I would put a removable wallpaper with some type of underwater scene in the back and put a small fish aquarium there.

Put shelving in it and use it for books or nick nacks and pictures or leave it alone, paint the back a different color and put a huge potted plant or flowers in it. The room needs some contrasting color and warmth.

I agree it needs some warm colors. The shelves are a good idea with a colorful mosaic design on the wall using tile or paint...the plants would add some life to the room too!

Mirrored backing with shelves and light airy plants. Place hidden stick up lights up top and turn them on at night

Add glass shelves and take advantage of the fact that the niche is wired to add accent lighting. I also love Nancyfuller idea of a bar with mirrored back and granite (or maybe quartz) counter.

It looks like you're using it to house media equipment for the TV? If you need to be able to use a remote for the components (or not, I guess), you could cover it with some type of decorative grating, painted the same color as your walls. If you're super handy, turn the grating into a hinged door to easily access the equipment.

Start a new hobby, use it for a small aquarium. Display plants.

I like a beautiful scenic fish tank. With cascading ivy,on a thin shelf space above it. Lighting from behind. Sounds nice to me...

Outdated or not, I like it and you have quite a few of lovely suggestions listed above. I have a cut out in my kitchen which hold my microwave. Love it and get lots of compliments on it. I am currently updating mine by making the wall stainless steel.

Hi, What about getting one of those tv brackets to fit inside so the tv sits outside of it in the middle then a shelf for the underneath and over the top maybe then you could have a mirror over fireplace instead.
