Great design. What is the angle of the tv/corner bookshelf?

13 years ago
We'll be building a brand new house soon and will be faced with the dilemma of where to mount the tv. We do not want to mount it above the fireplace (dislike looking up), nor do we want to mount it on the wall directly across from the windows (where the loveseat is in this picture) as we'd lose valuable seating space. Your bookshelf in the corner is an excellent solution to our problem! What is the angle of the bookshelf from the wall with the fireplace (45, 30, etc)? Are the cabinet doors in the corner the same width as the other side of the fireplace.

Thanks so much!

    Hello!!! Thank you for your question & nice comment. This is @ a 27 degree angle. I don't think the cabinet doors are exactly the same, but close. Just keep in mind that this angle was determined by this particular room size & arrangement, so yours may vary. Just make sure you have a very good finish carpenter on board for the best results. Best of luck & congrats on the new house!!!

    Thank you so much...that means a lot to us!!! And yes, it's always the dilemma. Personally, I don't mind the TV above the fireplace at all. They can be adjusted so as not to have an uncomfortable "looking up" position, & it sure saves floor space & centers the focal point of the room. And with a new build, you can design the fireplace height & details so that you don't have that issue, So I wouldn't count out that option completely.Thanks again.
