Your Living Room, Reimagined: Surround Sound & TV Setup Options
Upgrading your living room entertainment system can feel like stepping into a world of overwhelming options. You browse online, but all you see are products—no clear answers to your real questions. How do these systems come together? What does your space actually need? And how do you make sure it all works, looks good, and sounds amazing?
Whether you’re starting from scratch or finally upgrading the mismatched setup you’ve had for years, this guide will walk you through some of the best living room surround sound and TV options available today. From invisible speakers to framed TVs and 5.2 surround sound, we’ll help you visualize what’s possible—and even help you figure out what’s right for your space.
Invisible Speakers for Living Rooms: Clean Look, Amazing Sound
If you want high-quality sound without sacrificing the design of your space, invisible speakers are a great choice. These are built into your walls or ceilings and are installed flush with your drywall and have a thin skim coat of spackle over the speaker surface for speakers that are 100% invisible, even up close. They can be painted to match the adjacent walls and completely disappear into your décor.
Why Invisible Speakers Work So Well:
- Seamless: No visible boxes, cords, or clutter. Just clean walls.
- Consistent Audio Coverage: Spread across your room, they create an immersive listening experience.
- Aesthetic Advantage: Perfect for modern or minimalist interiors where design matters as much as performance.
Now, let’s address the sound. Installing speakers behind a surface can reduce treble, but that’s easily solved in the audio configuration phase. We boost midrange and bass frequencies to balance the output, creating a warm and full sound that surprises everyone—especially since the speakers are “hidden.”
Invisible speakers give you the best of both worlds: impressive performance and a distraction-free design.
Framed TVs for Living Rooms: Style and Substance
A framed TV isn’t just a piece of tech—it’s a work of art. These displays mimic the look of a picture frame and double as digital art when not in use.The screen itself has a low-glare appearance, and the selected art can be dimmed to be subtle, just like the real thing.
With just a tap, you can showcase:
- High-resolution artwork
- Your favorite family photos
- Scenic or seasonal visuals
Then, when it’s time to watch a movie or stream your favorite show, your framed TV becomes a vibrant, high-definition screen. It’s a great solution for rooms where you want the TV to blend in, not take over.
Framed TVs work especially well above fireplaces or in rooms with a strong design aesthetic. They’re sleek, modern, and surprisingly customizable, letting you maintain a beautiful room without compromising on entertainment.
Surround Sound for Your Living Room: System Setup Options
If you're after theater-quality (or better) sound, a 5.2 surround sound system is the gold standard for most living rooms. The “5” stands for five speakers positioned around the room (front, center, and rear), while the “.2” refers to two subwoofers that deliver deep, rich bass. You can easily add more than the “5” speakers, but that is the basic starting point for a complete surround sound system.
Why Surround Sound Makes a Difference:
- Immersive Experience: Dialogue, sound effects, and music come from all directions.
- Custom Configuration: Whether you prefer visible speakers or in-ceiling options, we tailor the design to your space.
- Home Theater Feel: Even in a smaller room, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in the middle of the action. The sound quality can be even better than the theater, because we calibrate the best sound for your specific seating location, whereas your favorite theater needs to balance it for the entire seating space, reducing the sound signature for your specific location. You also get to control the sound and bass level, unlike the theater.
Depending on your space and aesthetic preferences, you can choose:
- Bookshelf speakers on shelves or entertainment centers
- In-ceiling speakers for a clean look
- Built-in cabinetry with concealed speakers that hides the tech but showcases the sound
If you’re unsure of where to start or what’s even possible in your space, we offer home surveys to walk through it all with you. From wiring to wall materials to seating positions, we’ll help you design a system that works—and stays within your budget.
