5 genius bedroom TV ideas
Sleep experts have long advised against the use of screens, in any format, in the bedroom, but according to recent studies, over 50% of UK households have a TV in the bedroom. Regardless of what the experts say, though, there's no denying how good it feels to relax at the end of a stressful day with your favourite film or sitcom. And it makes all the difference when it fits in nicely with the rest of your room's decor. If you're investing in a new TV for your bedroom, or you want to optimise your existing layout, our experts at TV Bed have compiled five genius bedroom TV ideas to help you make the most of your space. 1. TV beds If you want to experience the magic of cinema from the comfort of your own bedroom, but don't want all the clutter that comes with it, a TV bed could be the ideal solution. The screen rises from the foot of the frame at the touch of a button, and tucks neatly away when you're done watching. No wall drilling, no unsightly wires, no clunky units hogging all the floor space... What more could you want? Our range of TV beds comes in several sizes – from single to super king – and a selection of fabrics to suit your style. Complete your setup with one of our Nest mattresses, handcrafted in the UK to pair perfectly with every frame we stock. 2. Bespoke media cabinets Media cabinets are an increasingly popular addition to modern homes, and if you don't have enough wall space to mount a TV, they're another great solution. Custom-built to fit any room, media cabinets maximise space by offering tailored storage, like shelves, cabinets, drawers, and (of course!) a dedicated space for your TV. They're also great if you don’t want wires, games consoles, and satellite boxes on show, as all cables will be neatly hidden inside. 3. Wall-mounted systems The quickest, simplest, and most affordable way to integrate a TV into your bedroom is by mounting it on the wall. Not only does this help you save money by eliminating the need to buy additional furniture, but it's also an excellent way to keep your room looking neat and tidy, as it frees up surface space. 4. Projector setups If you're looking for a portable, more affordable alternative to a traditional TV, why not invest in a projector setup? A projector can turn a blank wall into a huge screen; perfect for movie lovers who crave a cinematic atmosphere from the comfort of their own bedroom. Modern mini projectors can be moved around easily, and are simple to stow away when not in use. 5. Hidden screens Another great choice for those who prefer a more minimalist aesthetic, hidden TVs can be incorporated into your bedroom in many ways. Whether they're concealed behind wardrobe doors or made to look like a mirror or part of a gallery wall, hiding your TV will help keep your bedroom feeling calm and stylish, while giving you easy access to entertainment whenever you need it.

What is the best-sized TV for your bedroom?
Choosing the right TV for your bedroom makes all the difference to how comfortable and enjoyable your viewing experience is. Unlike living rooms, bedrooms often have limited space, different viewing angles, and a more relaxed environment, so picking the right screen size isn't just about going bigger. From the size of your bedroom itself to how far your bed is from the screen, several factors can influence which TV will work best in your space. In this guide, our TV Bed experts walk you through the key things to consider when shopping around for your new bedroom TV, helping you find the ideal balance between size, comfort, and style! Why is TV size so important? Choosing the right TV size for your bedroom is critical, as it affects your overall comfort and immersive experience, given the limited, often horizontal, viewing position (lying down vs sitting up). A screen that's too small leads to squinting, while one that's too large can cause neck strain and disrupt your room's relaxing ambience. Things to consider when choosing a TV for your bedroom Bedroom size The size of your bedroom itself plays a huge role when determining the perfect TV size. For small bedrooms where space is at a premium, TVs ranging from 32 to 43 inches are ideal. For medium bedrooms, TVs between 43 and 55 inches strike the perfect balance between screen size and space If you're fortunate enough to have a large bedroom, opting for a screen that's 65 inches or larger can provide the ultimate cinematic experience. If you don't have the wall space or don't want your TV permanently on show, our TV beds are the ideal solution. With the screen hidden away in the foot of the frame when not in use, we have several sizes available that support screens up to 43 inches! Viewing distance Viewing distance is another crucial factor in selecting the perfect TV for your bedroom. To calculate the optimal viewing distance for your space, measure the diagonal screen size in inches, and multiply the result by 1.5 to 2.5 to find the best TV viewing distance, then convert to feet/cm. Screen size As we mentioned earlier, choosing the right size TV helps ensure a comfortable viewing experience. As a general rule, your TV size should complement both your room layout and how far the TV will be from your bed. 32-43 inches - Compact and well-suited to smaller setups or integrated solutions, like our TV beds. 43-55 inches - A versatile option that works well in many standard bedroom layouts. 65 inches and above - Ideal if you have the space and want a more immersive, cinematic experience. How to set up your TV for maximum comfort When setting up your new bedroom TV, choosing the right height and positioning is crucial for the best TV viewing experience. The ideal height for your bedroom TV is at eye level from your usual viewing position, typically lying down in bed. Mounting the TV too high can cause neck strain, whilst mounting it too low can impact your ability to view the screen comfortably. Adjust the height so the centre of the TV screen is aligned with your line of sight, enhancing angles and comfort. To reduce glare and reflections, position the TV away from direct light sources, such as windows and lamps. You should also consider a setup that allows for easy adjustment for different viewing positions, ensuring a flexible and enjoyable experience, whether you're lying down or sitting up.

New year, new bedroom: The ultimate guide to your fresh start in 2026
The Christmas tree is back up in the loft, chocolates have long since been eaten, and presents are put away in their places. It can all only mean one thing... 2025 is behind us, and it's time to welcome the new year with open arms. For many of us, there's no better time to reinvent ourselves than the start of a new year, and if you’ve been scouring Pinterest for the latest bedroom ideas, 2026 should be the year you bring your visions to life. Our TV Bed experts share their top tips and favourite bedroom trends to help you create your dream sleep sanctuary, and how one of our TV beds can help you achieve the ultimate cosy vibe. Have a good declutter and deep clean The first steps to creating a relaxing sleep space are having a good declutter and deep clean of your bedroom. It’s not just general advice, but scientifically backed: a study from the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that higher levels of clutter in homes meant higher levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, compared to those with clearer spaces. Starting with a clear space sets you up for success, so get rid of anything – from clothes and accessories, to trinkets, books, and other items – that no longer serves you. Create keep, sell, donate, and toss piles to make this process easier. Once you've sorted through everything and found a place for items you're keeping, you can get to work cleaning. Leave no inch untouched – scrub from ceiling to skirting and make sure to give your floor a good hoover or sweep and mop to ensure everywhere is fresh for the months ahead. The end result? A space that helps with healthy sleeping habits thanks to the restful energy post-cleaning brings. Upgrade bedding and lighting Investing in new bedding and upgrading your lighting are two of the quickest, yet most effective, ways to achieve a fresh look in 2026. One of the biggest trends last year, which looks set to stay this year, was mismatched bedding. It may sound unorthodox, especially in a world full of ultra-modern, minimalist design choices, but it presents the perfect opportunity to add depth, character, and a sense of comfort to your bedroom without the need for major, expensive renovations. Complete the change with soft furnishings, like throw blankets and cushions, and you’ll find yourself all the more comfy! Rechargeable lighting is another thing that's gained immense popularity this year, for its portability, flexibility, and energy efficiency – offering cordless convenience not just in the bedroom, but everywhere around the home. Create a feature wall There are many different things you can do to create a feature wall, and by far the easiest – but by no means least impactful – is to go for a fresh coat of paint, in a contrasting colour. If the entirety of your space is painted a basic, neutral colour, like white or beige, opting for an earthy colour, like olive green, taupe, or an earthy brown shade behind your bed will instantly create the cosy vibe your space needs. You can also incorporate mirrors to reflect natural light and make your space feel larger, or create a gallery wall of your favourite photos of family, friends, and pets for more of a sentimental touch. Invest in a new bed If you're looking for a way to treat yourself in the new year, what better way to do it than with a brand new bed? One option that combines comfort and technology is a TV bed that houses a television in the foot of the frame. This can be raised at the press of a button when you want to watch your favourite shows, play video games, or listen to music videos, and lowered just as easily when it's time to hit the hay! A TV Bed, we stock a selection of sizes, colours, and styles – including surround sound TV beds and gaming TV beds – that are the perfect addition to any bedroom! Not only do TV beds help modernise your bedroom, though, but they're also the ideal choice for multi-functional spaces, too. The perfect blend of entertainment, storage, and space efficiency, a TV bed is sure to transform your room into a versatile haven for relaxation, work, and leisure, without adding clutter. If you're starting completely fresh, don't forget the mattress. Our range of Nest mattresses are handcrafted in the UK and designed specifically to work with our TV bed frames — so comfort and fit are guaranteed from day one. Upcycle outdated furniture If you've got old furniture lying around that's still in good condition and too good to part with, you can get creative with a little upcycling project. Whether it's a chest of drawers, bedside tables, a wardrobe, or a dressing table, don't underestimate the power of adding a fresh lick of paint or varnish and replacing the knobs/handles. It’s the perfect way to achieve a whole new look on a budget, and is guaranteed to make your space feel fresh for 2026! Need more bedroom ideas for 2026? Refreshing your bedroom doesn't have to be a mammoth, bank-breaking task. Whether you go all out on new bedding, breathe new life into your old furniture, or decide to treat yourself to one of our stunning TV beds, a fresh bedroom will set you up nicely for the rest of the year.
