Wall help

11 years ago

I need help with my living room

I have an open LR/DR/Kitchen with 12foot ceilings. I have a 65inch tv hanging on a wall and need something under it. I was thinking about having a shelf made (not sure what material) and putting ottomans under it for extra seating. I don't need storage so no wall unit. Anyone have any ideas for me. By the way, the house is in Florida and every room looks out to my pool and courtyard. Lots of sliding doors!

How about one (or two) of these console table for under the tv? Then and x-bench underneath for extra seating? Gray...or be brave and go bold. You have great style...go for bold. :)

I think console with ottomans under it is a good idea.

your tv is mounted much too high. it needs to be lowered to just above eye level when seated. pull the sofa off the wall, and onto the carpet. put a console behind it.

have you tried the couch where the chairs are and then flanked the couch with the chairs, all off the wall all on the carpet.

Since you have a lot of glass items...
How about a thick glass mounted on beautiful brackets for a console...

Hey there.. I agree the TV is a tad high. I think a nice console will visually connect the floor to tv.

I have a few blog posts that may help you out.

Some people over answer. I won't! A plexiglass sofa table with ottoman storage underneath would be beautiful.
