How To Decorate Around A TV With Thrift Store Decor

Hey there and welcome to today’s Thrift Score Thursday aka How I decorated around my TV with thrifted finds. It’s basically the same story whenever I decorate anything. I see a challenge in the space, I shop at the thrift store until I find things that fit. I keep shopping until I find even more good stuff. And then I find an arrangement with decent texture, sort of symmetry, and complimentary colors for the space.

The formula I used for the spaces beside my TV is:

Larger picture/art + Oval Basket with cross detail + Smaller picture/art + Round Basket + Sconce

I definitely try to urge everyone to embrace the basket. It’s quite possibly the most useful thing in the entire world. Just kidding, it’s not really that serious. But they do look so good in every space.

I think I’ve managed to share everything except for the round baskets up until this point. In case you’ve missed it, here’s what’s on the wall from left to right.

Custom Frame Family Portrait (minted), Aztec turquoise wall clock (Etsy), Oval basket with diamond woven detail, Newish round basket, Sconce with cactus candle, TV, Sconce with cactus candle, Oval basket with cross woven detail, Bubba’s 1st Birthday picture (in frame that came with the hubby), Round basket and Kilim print.

Now let’s dive into some fun. Here are my picks from the #thriftscorethursday feed on Instagram:
