9+ beautiful TV wall models combined with altars, suitable for feng shui 2025

TV wall combined with altar is a multi-functional interior design solution that helps save 2-3m² of space, while maintaining the aesthetics and solemnity of the worship space. According to a study by the Vietnam Interior Design Institute (VIDIN) in 2024, 86,7% of families living in apartments under 65m² positively evaluated this solution.

There are two main designs: TV shelves combined with altars with partitions (creating a clear separation) and TV shelves combined with hanging altars (suitable for small spaces, saving 1,5-2m²). The colors should match the five elements and the owner's destiny, and prioritize solemn colors such as wood brown, deep red or gold. In terms of size, a 15-25m² room should have walls 1,8-2,2m wide and 2,0-2,4m high, with a minimum distance between the TV and the altar of 35cm.

Materials range from Kosmos bamboo charcoal panels (durable up to 15 years, meeting E0 emission standards), stone wall panels (chosen by 28% of luxury apartments), to natural or industrial wood. For proper maintenance, it is necessary to periodically clean with a soft damp cloth 1-2 times/week, check the joints every 6 months, avoid direct sunlight, and do not place heavy objects on the hanging altar (recommended maximum load 20-30kg/m²).

This solution is especially suitable for three types of spaces: small apartments, townhouses with limited space, and studio apartments. According to Kosmos, 78% of newly built mini apartments in the period 2025-2030 will have an area of ​​75-120m², not enough for a separate worship room, making the TV wall combined with the altar the optimal solution.

Should we use a TV wall combined with an altar?

Yes, combining the altar and TV wall is the optimal solution to save 2-3m² of usable area, increase aesthetics and maintain solemnity for the worship space in families with limited living space.

86,7% of families living in apartments under 65m² positively evaluate the solution of combining TV wall and altar models, according to research by the Vietnam Interior Design Institute (VIDIN) in 2024.

However, the design must follow strict feng shui principles regarding direction, distance and layout. “According to traditional Vietnamese feng shui, the altar - the place to worship ancestors - must be placed in a solemn, high position and not be disturbed by electronic devices such as televisions that interfere with spiritual energy. Therefore, the layout must follow the principle of separating space and energy.

“The physical and energetic separation between the worship area and the entertainment area must be ensured through a partition with a minimum horizontal width of 20cm or a minimum vertical distance of 35cm from the TV. Research on energy fields shows that this distance is enough to prevent conflicts between spiritual energy (spiritual energy) and electronic energy (magnetic field),” said Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hoai An, a leading feng shui expert at the Hanoi University of Architecture.

Which living space is suitable for a TV wall with an altar?

TV wall with altar is a multi-functional interior solution suitable for 3 types of spaces that need to optimize area such as small apartments, townhouses with limited area, studio apartments. Specifically:

• Small apartment, collective living area: Combining the altar with the TV wall in small apartments or collective living areas helps save space effectively, while not losing the overall aesthetic.

According to Kosmos' reference from many reputable sources, 78% of newly built mini apartments in the period of 2025-2030 will have a compact area of ​​5x15m (75m²) or 6x20m (120m²). Modern collective housing areas only arrange 1-2 rooms with an average area of ​​each room of 12m², not enough space for a separate worship room.

• Townhouse with limited area: With tube houses, common in urban areas (usually with a frontage of 3-4m, length of 10-15m), common living space is often limited. Therefore, integrating the altar into the TV wall not only helps save space but also creates a reasonable interior highlight.
• Studio apartment: For studio apartments, which usually have an area of ​​only about 30m² to 40m², making the most of the wall to mount furniture is essential. The TV wall integrated with a hanging altar is a flexible solution, easy to install, does not take up floor space and does not affect the structure of the apartment.

About material

• TV wall using bamboo charcoal panels: Bamboo Charcoal Panel Kosmos is highly durable, can be used for up to 15 years without warping or cracking. In particular, this product meets E15 emission standards with formaldehyde concentration not exceeding 0 mg/m³, ensuring safety for health and friendliness to the living environment.
• PVC plastic wall panel, fluted panel: According to statistics from 500 Kosmos Agents, about 28% of luxury apartments choose stone to highlight the TV wall area thanks to its luxurious, cool and durable feeling over time.
• Artificial stone or natural stone wall cladding: Stone materials, both natural and artificial, are gradually becoming a trend in high-end interiors.
• Walls made from natural wood or industrial wood: Wood is a familiar choice with a fairly low thermal conductivity coefficient (about 0.12–0.15 W/mK), helping to effectively insulate and create a warm feeling for the space.

For altar tables or cabinets, customers can choose wood materials such as natural wood or veneer-covered industrial wood:

• Natural wood: The altar should prioritize using natural wood such as rosewood, mahogany, jackfruit wood or oak because of its solemnity and high durability.
• Veneer coated industrial wood: If the budget is limited, altar models made from industrial wood covered with veneer still ensure the aesthetic factor. They look like real wood, are lighter and easier to construct, suitable for apartments or small houses.

What should be avoided when placing the altar near the TV wall?

To ensure the solemnity of the worship space and feng shui, there are 5 things to note when designing a TV wall combined with an altar as follows:

1. Prioritize airy, clean locations: The space where the altar is placed must ensure purity and good air circulation. If you choose a design integrated with the TV wall, you should avoid placing the altar in dark, stuffy areas such as under the stairs or hidden corners.
2. Do not place the altar opposite or near the main door: Placing the altar facing the entrance door is a taboo. According to Vietnamese feng shui, this direction disrupts the necessary quietness of the worship space, and the wind from the main door can move the incense bowl, affecting the prosperity of the house.
3. Avoid placing the altar lower than the TV: According to Vietnamese customs, placing the TV higher than the altar is considered disrespectful because according to the worship culture, the height between objects symbolizes the order of seniority. Therefore, it is important to note that the altar must always be at least 35cm higher than the TV to show respect to ancestors.
4. Do not integrate too many functions in the same system: Designing a TV wall, storage cabinet, wine cabinet, and altar in the same cluster can easily cause confusion and lack of solemnity. If you have to integrate, arrange a clear distance between each area.

Frequently asked questions about TV wall with altar

How to properly maintain the TV wall combined with the altar?

To properly maintain the TV wall that goes with the altar, customers need to follow the following 4 principles:

1. Clean periodically with a soft damp cloth: According to recommendations from the Vietnam Institute of Building Materials Science (IBST), cleaning with a soft damp cloth 1-2 times per week helps reduce the risk of dust and mold accumulation on wooden, PVC or artificial stone surfaces by up to 87%.
2. Periodically check and maintain joints, corner brackets, screws: With a combined structure design (hanging – wall-mounted – installation), the strength of the joints should be checked every 6 months.
3. Ensure good ventilation, avoid direct sunlight and high humidity: Direct sunlight can cause warping or fading of materials after about 12–18 months of use, according to data from the Vietnam Materials Association. Additionally, humidity above 70% for a long time will cause materials such as MDF or veneer to swell and become moldy.
4. Do not place heavy objects on hanging altar shelves or thin partition areas: Walls made from MDF or PVC have a maximum recommended load of 20–30kg/m². Placing items that are too heavy will result in sagging, warping or cracking over time.
