The best way to display your TV in an apartment

Your TV display can really make or break at room. No pressure or anything, but an big ugly unit can make even the chicest space fall down— this is especially true for apartments, where space is at a premium and every piece of furniture counts.

So what's the solution? Over the years, home renovators have tried everything from incorporating TV/mirrors into walls, hiding units in walls behind sliding doors (even artworks), and even attempting to assemble them on movable painter's easels (naff!). 

Finally, one man has emerged victorious with a brilliant idea that looks so good you'll actually want to try it at home. Drum roll please...

Making the most of his apartment's limited room, Frenchman Frank Gombault, has installed a bracket system into the sliding doors between his sitting room and dining room to house his TV— which means it takes up zero extra space and hides away when not in use. 

As the video above shows, the TV can be swiveled around to face either side of the door, which means it's like having two TVs! It can also create a closed off movie room feel with the two doors shut. When not in use, the unit slides back into the door and it disappears back into the wall. Genius.
