1. Two floating shelves flanking the TV with a wood-and-cream rule
This setup works because the shelves "hold" the wall visually without competing with the TV. I like warm oak shelves paired with cream ceramics and off-white frames because the contrast reads soft from across the room. The effect is especially flattering if your living room has light flooring or beige upholstery, since the wood pulls everything together. It also suits people who get tired of re-styling - each side has the same rhythm, so you can swap one object without losing the balance. Keep the tallest item on each shelf about 6-8 inches above the TV's midline so the wall feels framed, not top-heavy.
Start by mounting the left and right shelves at the same height, with the TV centered between them. Use a 9-10 inch shelf depth and keep the shelf edge about 2-3 inches away from the TV casing so it doesn't visually touch. Style each shelf in this order: put a low tray or book stack first, place one medium ceramic piece next, then finish with a slim frame standing upright. Leave the back third of each shelf empty so dust and glare don't show through and the arrangement stays readable.
Good to knowChoose ceramic pieces with matte glaze. They hide smudges better than glossy white vases.
AvoidAvoid mixing three wood tones - it makes the wall look like it was assembled over time.
2. One long floating shelf under the TV with a cable-hiding trough
When you put one long shelf under the TV, you get an instant "finished wall" look without needing multiple decor items. I use this for living rooms that feel busy already because the shelf line gives structure, and the decor stays low so it doesn't block viewing angles. The cable-hiding trough behind the shelf is a low maintenance win - you stop seeing tangles and you don't keep nudging cords back into place. This style looks great if your furniture is neutral and your TV area needs order. It also works well for smaller rooms because the shelf adds storage without making the wall feel tall.
Mount the shelf so there's about 2-3 inches of vertical breathing room between the TV bottom and the shelf top. Use a single continuous shelf length that covers the TV width plus 4-6 inches on each side. Install a slim raceway or cable channel behind the shelf so the cords drop straight down. Style by placing the woven tray first, then two book stacks or one book stack plus a frame, and finally a small object at each end to create symmetry.
Good to knowUse black cable ties and a short Velcro strap to bunch cords once. You'll thank yourself later.
AvoidDon't place tall items on the under-TV shelf. They make the TV look lower than it is.
3. Matte black shelves with a gallery rail look
Thin matte black shelves give you that gallery rail vibe, and it's the easiest way to make a TV wall feel styled without heavy decor. Because black is visually "quiet," it pairs well with almost any couch or rug color, especially if you have cool grays or dark wood. I've used this in rooms with busy patterns where you need a calmer wall. The frames and plant add texture without adding visual clutter. It flatters people who like a clean look and don't want to dust complicated figurines.
Pick shelves with a slim profile (around 1.25-1.5 inches thick) so they don't look bulky next to the TV. Mount them level and keep the spacing consistent - I aim for 10-14 inches between the top and bottom shelf run. Style with a row of small frames first (same size if you can), then add a single low plant pot on one end. Finish with one small sculpture at the opposite end to balance the weight.
Good to knowWipe shelves with a microfiber cloth before you move items. It keeps the whole wall looking sharp for longer.
AvoidAvoid mixing gold frames with matte black shelves unless you repeat gold elsewhere in the room.
4. Floating shelves with backer panels for a "shadow" TV wall
A backer panel behind the shelf zone makes your floating shelves look intentional and expensive because you get a defined shadow line. I did this in a living room with white walls and it instantly stopped the TV area from looking flat. The darker background makes warm decor pop - brass and wood look richer, and ceramics look cleaner. This setup flatters rooms that feel too bright or echo-y because the panel adds visual depth. It also helps with low maintenance because you don't need to fill the shelves; the background does the work.
Install a backer panel that's the same width as the shelf span, centered behind the TV. Mount shelves so there's a consistent gap (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) between shelf and panel to create the shadow effect. Keep decor in a simple stack: tall vase in the center on the top shelf, books on the bottom shelf, then one small lamp base or candle on the side. Use warm finishes - walnut, oak, brass, and cream - and keep everything matte to avoid glare.
Good to knowChoose a backer panel with a matte finish. Glossy panels show light reflections from the room.
AvoidDon't use a bright white backer panel behind black shelves - it can look like a temporary TV stand.
5. Staggered shelf heights for a casual, lived-in look
Staggering shelf heights looks relaxed, and it hides small placement mistakes because the eye accepts variation. I use this in rooms where the wall is a little asymmetrical - maybe the sofa is off-center or the window is on one side. It flatters people who want the shelves to feel like part of daily life, not a staged magazine wall. Low maintenance is built in because you can rotate objects without having to keep everything perfectly aligned. The key is keeping one element tall on each side and keeping the rest low.
Mount the left shelf about 4-6 inches higher than the right shelf. Keep the TV centered and make sure the lowest shelf edge stays above your line of sight when seated. Style the highest shelf with one tall item (a plant or vase), the middle shelf with a clock or framed art plus a book stack, and the lowest shelf with a bowl and a small tray. Leave one corner of each shelf empty so the stagger doesn't feel crowded.
Good to knowPick a single color for your "anchor" items (for example, all cream ceramics). It ties the stagger together.
AvoidAvoid staggering every shelf on both sides - it turns into visual noise fast.
6. Floating shelves with a built-in picture ledge for family photos
If you want a TV wall that still feels personal after months, a picture ledge shelf is the move. I like it because frames don't need rearranging every week like loose decor - they stay put and look good even when you're tired. This style flatters warm-toned interiors and families because photos add meaning without adding clutter. It's also low maintenance since the shelf surface is visually "occupied" by frames, so you don't feel the urge to keep adding objects. Keep the frames in the same thickness so the wall looks clean.
Mount the top picture ledge shelf so it sits just above the TV, with about 4-6 inches of vertical space. Choose a shelf depth around 7-9 inches so frames sit securely but don't look oversized. Place the largest frame in the center, then work outward with matching-size frames. Add a small tray on the lower shelf with one candle and one small object, keeping the rest empty for breathing room.
Good to knowUse picture ledge frames with a lip so they don't slide when you dust.
AvoidAvoid mixing frame sizes that vary wildly in thickness - it looks DIY instead of intentional.
7. Walnut shelves with a woven basket for instant clutter control
A woven basket on a shelf is my favorite low maintenance trick because it hides the stuff that would otherwise accumulate. I've done this with remotes, coasters, and cable accessories - you can keep a tidy look without clearing the whole wall every weekend. Walnut shelves add warmth against gray walls, and the woven texture keeps the wall from feeling too smooth. This setup flatters rooms with neutral textiles since the basket texture adds contrast. It also works for anyone who has kids or guests who touch everything - the basket takes the visual hit.
Use a walnut shelf with 9-10 inches depth so the basket sits stable and doesn't hang off the edge. Mount the shelf about 6-10 inches above the TV bottom so the basket reads like part of the wall design. Place the basket first, centered. Then add a book stack on one side and a small vase on the other, keeping items tucked close to the basket so dusting stays easy. Leave the far back corners empty so the shelf doesn't look crowded.
Good to knowPick a basket with a flat base and stiff weave. Soft baskets wobble and look messy after a bump.
AvoidAvoid baskets that shed fibers onto the shelf - it turns into a constant clean-up job.
8. Floating shelves with a slim bar cart vibe for barware storage
This idea looks like a bar cart, but it stays fixed and calm. I use it when the living room is also where we host, because glasses and decanters look intentional up on shelves. The floating shelf format keeps the wall from looking cluttered compared to open cabinets. It flatters homes with warm lighting because glass catches light and makes the wall feel alive without lots of objects. For low maintenance, keep the barware limited - a few glasses and one bottle - so you're not constantly polishing a dozen items.
Mount two shelves level, with the top shelf about 12-16 inches above the TV center line. Choose 7-9 inch depth for barware so glasses don't tip forward. Style by placing a tray first on the lower shelf, then set mugs or a decanter on the tray. On the upper shelf, arrange glasses in a straight line and keep the bottle centered. Wipe glass edges once a week with a dry microfiber to prevent water spots.
Good to knowUse a small felt pad under the tray so it doesn't slide when you move the bottle.
AvoidAvoid stacking glasses too close together - it makes the shelf look cramped and hard to clean.
9. Books stacked spine-out with a single ceramic at the center
Spine-out books are the easiest way to make shelves look styled without buying extra decor. I've done this in three apartments now because it looks neat even when you swap books seasonally. The TV wall benefits because book spines give vertical texture that matches the screen's rectangle shape. This works especially well if your books have neutral covers or muted colors. It flatters people who like minimal styling but still want visual interest. Low maintenance is built in because books don't shift unless someone bumps them.
Mount a shelf about 10-14 inches above the TV, then pick books that are close in height so the stack looks intentional. Start by placing the book stack first with spines facing out. Put the ceramic jug in the center of the shelf front edge, leaving at least a hand width between the jug and the book stack. Add one small frame or candle only if there's space; otherwise leave it empty. Keep everything matte and avoid glossy book covers that show reflections.
Good to knowChoose book stacks that vary height by no more than 2 inches. Bigger gaps make it look accidental.
AvoidAvoid mixing too many bright spines. Two loud colors are fine; five loud spines looks messy.
10. Tall plant on the top shelf, low tray on the bottom shelf
A tall plant plus a low tray is the formula that looks styled from the couch. I like faux plants with realistic leaves because they look good without watering schedules, and they hold their shape. The matte pot stops glare, and the low tray keeps small items grouped so they don't scatter. This setup flatters living rooms with natural light or warm lamps because the plant adds softness. It's also a strong choice for low maintenance because you don't have to water, prune, or re-balance a real plant weekly.
Mount the top shelf so the plant pot sits about at eye level when you're seated. Use a 9-10 inch depth so the plant doesn't feel like it's hanging off the edge. Style in layers: place the tray on the bottom shelf first, then add a candle and one small object inside the tray borders. Finally, set the plant pot centered on the top shelf. Keep the rest of the top shelf empty so leaf shadows don't look cluttered.
Good to knowDust faux leaves with a pillowcase pulled over your hand. It collects dust without bending the stems.
AvoidAvoid shiny ceramic pots under warm lamps - fingerprints show instantly.
11. Floating shelves with a slim light strip behind the TV
Backlighting changes everything because it makes the shelf edges look crisp even with minimal decor. I'm not talking about bright LED strips that scream - I use a warm white or dim amber setting so the wall looks cozy, not techy. This style flatters rooms where you want atmosphere and you don't want to add more furniture. It's low maintenance because the glow hides minor dust and makes the arrangement feel "done" even when you rotate small items. Keep decor neutral so the light doesn't compete with bright colors.
Install the LED strip behind the TV or behind a thin back panel so the light hits the wall, not your eyes. Mount shelves so their underside has a consistent gap from the wall (about 1/4 inch). Place one centered vase on the top shelf, then keep side shelves symmetrical with a frame on one side and a small sculpture on the other. Leave at least one shelf section empty so the light doesn't turn the wall into a clutter gradient.
Good to knowSet the LED brightness low and pick warm white around 2700K. Higher brightness makes fingerprints and dust look obvious.
AvoidAvoid placing reflective decor directly in the light path - it creates hot spots.
12. Two-tier shelves with a floating media console look
Two-tier shelves can replace a bulky media console, and they look clean because the lines stay horizontal. I like this when your room layout needs open floor space, like when you have a narrow walkway behind the sofa. It flatters modern interiors and also works with traditional furniture if you use wood shelves and warm decor. Low maintenance comes from keeping the media items in one zone and limiting decor to one upper shelf. When you want to switch decor, you only swap what's on the upper shelf.
Mount the lower shelf so it's high enough to keep media components visible but not blocking the TV's bottom edge. Use a shelf depth around 10 inches for the lower tier so media boxes sit flat. Style the lower shelf first: place media components centered, then add a thin cable cover if needed. On the upper shelf, place framed art centered and a small vase at one end. Keep the rest of the upper shelf mostly empty for a clean read.
Good to knowUse a label on the back of media boxes so you can re-route cables quickly when you move furniture.
AvoidAvoid overcrowding the lower shelf with decor. It makes the media area look messy.
13. Corner shelf pairing for awkward TV wall layouts
Corner TV walls are hard because one side always looks empty. This shelf pairing fixes that by pulling decor into the corner angle where it's visually balanced. I've used it in rentals where the TV couldn't be centered because of a doorway. The effect is neat and low maintenance because corner decor can be taller without blocking sightlines. It flatters people who like a cozy, asymmetrical look without chaos. Keep the items vertical and simple so the corner doesn't become a pile.
Mount one shelf along the main wall and angle the other toward the corner so both shelves align visually with the TV center. Use 7-9 inch depth so the corner shelf doesn't stick out too far. Style the shelf nearest the corner with a tall candle holder or plant, then add a book stack behind it. On the other shelf, place a framed print upright and one small ceramic piece next to it. Leave the front edge mostly clear so the shelf stays easy to dust.
Good to knowUse corner-friendly decor like narrow vases and tall frames. They look intentional in tight angles.
AvoidAvoid wide, boxy decor in corners. It blocks the line of the room and looks cramped.
14. Floating shelves with a neutral tray set and matching candle shapes
Trays are how you get low maintenance without sacrificing looks. When everything sits inside a tray border, nothing slides around during routine cleaning, and the shelf stays organized even if you add one extra object. I like this approach when your living room gets used daily and you don't want to keep "resetting" the shelf. The matching candle shapes make the wall feel cohesive, even if you swap candle scents. This is flattering in rooms with neutral walls and light wood furniture because the trays add a subtle layer of texture.
Mount shelves at a height where the tray top lands around mid-torso when seated. Choose trays in the same material family (matte wood, linen-wrapped, or ceramic). Place the tray first on each shelf, centered. Add one candle at the back of the tray, then a small ceramic dish near the front edge. Finish with coasters or a tiny stack of books inside the tray so everything stays contained.
Good to knowUse felt pads under candle holders. It prevents tiny scratches and keeps the candle from shifting.
AvoidAvoid mixing tray colors that are too different. Two warm neutrals look good; five random tones look messy.
15. Texture-forward shelves with linen-covered books and a ceramic bowl
Texture beats clutter. Linen-covered books and a ceramic bowl create a tactile look that reads expensive without needing lots of small objects. I like this for low maintenance because linen-texture covers don't show dust as quickly as glossy finishes, and they look styled even when they're slightly imperfect. This setup flatters warm skin tones and cozy interiors because taupe and cream soften the whole wall. It's a good choice if you get tired of shiny decor or if your lighting shows glare on glossy surfaces. Keep it simple: one bowl, one book stack, one small frame.
Mount a shelf about 12 inches above the TV bottom. Choose books with similar thickness so the stack sits flat, then angle the top book slightly for a natural look. Place the ceramic bowl centered and slightly forward - about 1 inch off the back edge. Add the small framed piece at one end with the frame facing outward. Leave empty space on the other end so the shelf still feels breathable.
Good to knowUse bookends only if the stack tilts. Otherwise, skip them - it keeps the look light.
AvoidAvoid using thin, flimsy book stacks. They slump and make the shelf look unfinished.
16. Floating shelves with a monochrome color block (black, white, gray)
Monochrome styling makes a TV wall look polished even when you rotate decor. I've used this when the room has strong color elsewhere, like a bold rug or curtains, because the shelves stay calm. The black and white contrast shows up clearly from the couch, and gray books add depth without shouting. This flatters modern, Scandinavian, and transitional rooms alike. Low maintenance happens because you can swap one object and keep the overall palette consistent.
Choose one shelf color (I like pale oak) and keep decor limited to black, white, and gray. Mount two shelves level and spaced about 14-18 inches apart. Put gray books in the center on both shelves, then add a black frame on one end and a white vase on the other. Keep the vase height consistent across shelves so the wall doesn't look lopsided. Leave a strip of empty space across the back to keep dust and glare from looking harsh.
Good to knowUse frames with the same mat color. It keeps the monochrome look clean.
AvoidAvoid adding tan or colorful accents. Even one bright item can break the monochrome rhythm.
17. Floating shelves with a ceramic "stack" at the endcaps
Endcap styling makes shelves look finished without filling the whole surface. I like ceramic stacks because they're stable, matte, and they read as intentional design objects instead of random knickknacks. This is a great choice if you want the shelf to look good from both directions - like when your seating faces the wall at an angle. It flatters small living rooms where you don't want big decor pieces. Low maintenance is real here because ceramic stacks don't shift and they don't require frequent dusting attention like delicate figurines.
Mount a single long shelf above the TV so it spans the TV width plus a few inches. Place a shallow tray in the center first, then set a framed photo standing upright behind the tray or next to it. Add matching ceramic stacks at both ends - aim for similar height on each side. Keep the ceramics matte and warm-toned (cream, sand, or light terracotta). Leave the middle front edge clear so the shelf looks airy rather than crowded.
Good to knowUse stackable ceramics with flat bases. Unstable pieces ruin the "endcap" symmetry.
AvoidAvoid using too many small objects on the ends. Two stacks look designed; five minis look chaotic.
18. Floating shelves with a slim vase and faux pampas for height without fuss
If you want height but don't want to deal with real flowers, faux pampas in a slim vase is the cleanest cheat. The airy stems create movement, so the wall doesn't look flat behind the TV. I use this when the room is mostly straight lines and you need softness. It looks best with a slim vase because wide vases can look bulky on narrow shelves. This setup flatters people who like modern farmhouse or neutral boho without the clutter of lots of small decor. Low maintenance is the point - no water, no wilting, no rearranging every couple days.
Mount the shelf so the vase top lands just below the TV's top edge by about 2-4 inches. Use a 9-inch deep shelf so the vase sits securely and doesn't feel precarious. Place the slim vase slightly off-center, then balance with a small framed print on the opposite side of the same shelf. On the lower shelf, place a candle jar and one small object like a stone or mini bowl. Keep the rest of the shelf empty so the pampas stays the hero.
Good to knowUse a hair dryer on cool air to fluff pampas stems once after dusting season.
AvoidAvoid clear glass vases in bright rooms - they show fingerprints and smudges instantly.
19. Floating shelves with a built-in bar-height counter tray look
A shelf with a raised lip reads like a counter, so everything looks organized even when you're not. I use this idea when I want a "designed" look but I don't want to buy a full cabinet. Espresso dark shelves make metals look better - brass, black, and brushed steel all pop. This flatters rooms with darker furniture or warm lighting because the shelf anchors the wall. Low maintenance comes from the tray-like surface - items stay put and you can wipe one area instead of cleaning around scattered decor.
Mount the shelf so the top surface sits around 4-6 inches above the TV's center line for a balanced look. Use a 10-inch depth and keep the raised lip facing forward. Place a coasters tray in the center and put two decanters at the back corners. Add small framed prints at each end only if there's space; otherwise keep it to the tray and decanters. Keep everything matte or satin so the raised surface doesn't show shine streaks.
Good to knowUse coasters that match the metals in your decanters. It makes the whole shelf look intentional.
AvoidAvoid placing tall items right at the shelf lip. They can look like they're about to tip.
20. Floating shelves with stacked picture books and a small clock
Picture books plus a small clock looks crisp and calm, and it's one of the easiest ways to make shelves look "finished" without buying separate art. I like this style because the books give you color control - you can pick neutral covers and keep the shelf palette stable. The clock adds a functional element, so the shelf feels lived-in instead of decorative-only. It flatters living rooms with modern furniture or clean lines because the objects are simple and geometric. Low maintenance is real because the clock and books don't require constant adjustments once they're placed.
Mount a shelf about 8-12 inches above the TV bottom. Choose picture books with similar heights and place them spine-out so the covers face outward. Set the clock in the front center of the shelf, then place a small dish or candle at one end. Keep the other end empty or use a single frame. Leave at least 2-3 inches between the clock and the books so the shelf doesn't look crowded from across the room.
Good to knowUse clock hands that are quiet-sweep style if you hate ticking sounds. It makes the living room feel calmer.
AvoidAvoid mixing glossy clock faces with matte shelves. The glare draws attention to fingerprints.
21. Floating shelves with layered trays under a TV for a spa-calm look
Layered trays give you a spa-calm look because everything is contained and aligned. I love this when the living room gets used for evenings and you want the TV wall to feel relaxing, not cluttered. The layered approach flatters almost any interior because trays come in simple shapes and neutral tones. Low maintenance is built in: you clean one tray stack instead of wiping around scattered decor. It also works well for people who like candles but don't want to show a dozen mismatched holders.
Mount the shelf directly under the TV with enough space for the tray stack (usually 2-3 inches below the TV bottom). Choose a larger flat tray in wood or matte ceramic, then add a smaller tray on top. Place the candle in the center of the smaller tray and add one incense holder or small dish near the edge. Keep the larger tray empty except for the stack, so the shelf looks intentional. Wipe the trays weekly with a damp microfiber and dry immediately to prevent water marks.
Good to knowUse tray sizes that leave at least 1 inch of tray edge visible around the smaller tray.
AvoidAvoid using trays with heavy patterns on both layers - it looks busy on a TV wall.
22. Floating shelves with a single oversized sculptural vase
One oversized sculptural vase is how you make the shelf look high-end without adding lots of items. I like this for darker walls because the off-white vase pops and creates a focal point that feels intentional next to the TV. This setup flatters minimal interiors and also works if your furniture is patterned, since the shelf decor stays simple. Low maintenance happens because you're not constantly adjusting multiple pieces. The vase also hides minor shelf imperfections - you see the shape, not tiny gaps.
Mount a wide shelf (about 10-12 inches deep) so the vase has full support. Center the vase on the shelf and keep the vase base at least 1 inch away from the front edge so it feels secure. Add one book stack on each side of the vase, making sure both stacks are the same height. Keep the color palette tight: off-white vase, black or gray book spines, and maybe one small frame if you have space. Leave the rest of the shelf empty so the vase remains the hero.
Good to knowDust the vase with a soft brush attachment on your vacuum. It removes dust from curves without smearing.
AvoidAvoid placing more than two small objects next to the vase. It starts to look like you ran out of space.
23. Floating shelves with a symmetrical candle-and-frame pairing
Symmetry makes the TV wall look calm even when you have a busy room. I do this when the living room has a lot going on visually - patterned rug, bold pillows, or lots of furniture shapes. Mirrored candles and frames keep the eye from darting around. This style flatters traditional and modern homes because the objects are simple and repeated. Low maintenance is strong because you can swap candles or frames one at a time and the mirror effect still holds. It also hides small dust issues because the shelf reads as a matched set.
Mount both shelves level and keep the distance between shelves consistent (around 12-16 inches). Use oak shelves with a matte finish and a depth of 9-10 inches for balance. Style the left side with a candle jar near the front, then place the right side frame upright. Mirror that on the other shelf so each shelf has the same left-right rhythm. Keep the center area around the TV mostly empty so the TV stays the main focus.
Good to knowUse the same candle jar size on both sides. Mismatched jar heights break the symmetry faster than you think.
AvoidAvoid using different frame sizes on mirrored sides - it looks lopsided even if you think it's close.
24. Floating shelves with a seasonal swap slot using a neutral base
This is the low maintenance approach I use when I don't want to redecorate the whole wall every season. You keep a neutral base that looks good year-round, then you swap one small decor piece on top when you feel like it. It flatters anyone who likes seasonal color but hates the clutter that comes with storing extra decor. The neutral base holds the look steady, so the wall doesn't go through awkward transitions. It's also practical for real life - you can change the vibe in 10 minutes.
Mount one long shelf centered above the TV and keep it at a consistent height so the swap area is visible from the couch. Style the permanent base first: a book stack spine-out plus a small neutral tray. Put the tray slightly forward and keep the books behind it so the swap piece sits on the tray. When you change seasons, replace only that top item - one candle, one ceramic, or one small seasonal figure. Keep the swap items within the same color family so they don't clash with your room lighting.
Good to knowUse one basket or drawer for seasonal swap pieces so you never hunt for them.
AvoidAvoid changing multiple items at once. It turns into a full redecorating session.
25. Floating shelves with a slim soundbar cover and display shelf above
When you hide the soundbar mess, the whole TV wall looks cleaner immediately. This idea works because the lower shelf keeps the media area tidy while the upper shelf gets the personality. I've used this in living rooms where the TV sits high and the bottom area is visible - hiding cables and the soundbar face makes it look intentional. It flatters people who prefer a clean, modern look but still want decor. Low maintenance is the payoff: once the media cover is in place, you stop fiddling with cords. The upper shelf stays simple with a centered frame and minimal objects.
Mount the lower shelf so the soundbar cover sits flush and you have about 1-2 inches of space above the cover for ventilation. Use a shelf depth around 10 inches for the lower tier so the media cover isn't cramped. Mount the upper shelf 12-16 inches above, with the shelf depth 7-9 inches. Style the upper shelf by centering one framed print, then placing one small decor object on each side at matching heights. Leave the back edge mostly empty so dust doesn't gather in a cluttered band.
Good to knowUse a removable cover panel so you can access the soundbar inputs without taking the whole shelf down.
AvoidAvoid placing loose decor right in front of the soundbar cover. It makes the media area look cluttered.
