I laughed… and then actually made it happen. That’s when I realized: small or unconventional spaces, like bathrooms, can inspire the most creative designs. Today I’m sharing my favorite bathroom TV ideas drawn from real projects I’ve worked on, so you can relax and binge your favorite shows in style.1: Mirror TV MagicInstalling a TV that doubles as a mirror is like having a secret gadget from a spy movie. It keeps your bathroom looking sleek, but gives you entertainment when you want it. Just keep in mind the cost can be a bit higher than a regular TV.save pin2: Waterproof Built-in ScreenIf you’re going for a spa-like experience, a waterproof built-in TV directly in the shower wall can be amazing. It makes those long showers feel even more luxurious, though installation will require some careful waterproofing work.save pin3: Floating Shelf SetupA floating shelf for your TV looks light and minimal, freeing up counter space. I once paired this with a custom storage unit planned in a 3D layout design, and it completely transformed the feel of the bathroom.save pin4: Swivel Mount for FlexibilityWith a swivel mount, you can point the screen toward the bathtub or the vanity. It’s budget-friendly and gives you flexibility, but you need to ensure the mount is stainless and resistant to moisture.save pin5: Ceiling-mounted TVIf space is tight, mount your TV on the ceiling right above the tub. Watching from a reclined position feels like being in your own personal cinema – though hiding the cables neatly is key.save pin6: Tile-framed TV NicheBuilding a recessed niche framed in decorative tiles makes your bathroom TV look intentional and integrated. The tricky part is making sure the niche is well-sealed against water ingress.save pin7: Art Frame TVAn art frame around your TV lets it double as bathroom décor. I did this in a guest bathroom once – guests were surprised when their “painting” came to life with a click.save pin8: Under-cabinet ScreenPerfect for compact bathrooms, an under-cabinet screen frees up wall space and keeps the TV safely tucked away. Planning it early with a smart design tool can help ensure the fit is perfect.save pin9: Portable Waterproof TabletIf committing to a fixed TV feels too much, a waterproof tablet is a great alternative. You can move it around, though it might not have the same wow factor as a built-in screen.save pin10: Embedded Bathtub TVFor the ultimate indulgence, embed a small waterproof TV right into the side of the bathtub. It’s high on luxury and cost, but nothing beats the feeling of soaking while watching your favorite movie.save pinFAQQ: Is it safe to have a TV in the bathroom?A: Yes, as long as you use waterproof or moisture-resistant models and have them installed by a professional with proper electrical safety standards.Q: Do bathroom TVs need special ventilation?A: Often yes, to prevent overheating in a high-humidity environment.Q: Can I retrofit a bathroom TV into an existing bathroom?A: Absolutely, but you’ll need to work with a contractor to handle waterproofing and hidden wiring for safety and aesthetics.Start for FREEPlease check with customer service before testing new feature.Free Room PlannerDesign your dream room online for free with the powerful room designer toolStart for FREE
