My first recommendation for flat panel installation? Recess those puppies into your walls. This requires hiring a carpenter and ain't exactly cheap. But it totally saves a space from becoming "that TV room." What does this entail? Drywall needs to be cut, 2x4s are installed for framing — like creating a soffit. Electricity has to be pulled up into a new outlet installed just behind where the TV will sit. After that's done, drywall work needs to happen.

If you like the look of recessed shelves, go for it! And while you're at it, take advantage of the rest of that spare room inside the wall. Here, hidden cabinets on either side of the shelves can hold plenty, so you can keep the living room looking sleek.

This design takes advantage of an opportunity to display family photos in a modern setting. The dark color of the niche contrasts the wood paneling and coordinates with the television, creating a subtle play of rectangles and keeping the space uncluttered but warm.

For optimum viewing, where should you place the TV? Place the TV at eye-level. For the best viewing angle, place the TV low so that when you are seated, your head is even with the middle of the screen. You'll be most comfortable if you can sit looking straight ahead, rather than up or down at the screen.

The Kalwall ceiling continues into more than just the kitchen of this home. This sitting area is bathed in a luminous light from above.

7. Well-placed outlets and switches. Think ahead about where you want your wall outlets and switches. While we already saw a lot of clever spots in the kitchen suggestion ideabook and the bathroom suggestion ideabook, it's true all over the house. A media room requires extra thought; you need to figure out where you want your stereo and TV equipment and what kinds of outlets these will require. Furthermore, you want them well placed so that you don't have the eyesore of cords. Another similar consideration for the media room is placement of surround sound speakers. You'll also need to plan for your reading spots. If you want to float sofas and chairs away from walls, plan for outlets in the floor near the furniture.
