thanks Houzz people

8 years ago
I just need to say thank you to everyone on houzz. My living room was a disaster before I found this app. It was crowded and busy and an eye sore. I get compliments on my space now! How cool! You guys are great!

Anyways, I’ve had people asking me about the low placement of my tv and wall art. Is this right or is it too low? I know I can trust y’all to give me good advice! Thank you!

    Kind of hard to say about placement because you're sitting while taking the photo. Are you planning on hiding those tv wires?

    How high are they on the wall? Should be ~58 inches from the floor to the center of the art/TV.

    Your art is too small for the wall and in a horizontal line going across the wall. I would either find some larger pieces or create a gallery. Can you take a photo of the entire wall?

    Entire wall. It’s a vaulted ceiling

    The wires will be hidden, once my husband decides if he wants a bigger tv or not. Haha.

    Agree with ilikefriday about the art being too small on the wall.

    Also your console is too small. It needs to be much longer, especially if hubby increases the size of the TV. The console should be at least 25% larger than the TV. Personally, I prefer even longer. But it depends on the room. You have plenty of room to handle a much longer console.

    I love that long console. And my hubby is a super handy man. We just don’t know what to do with this wall. I plan on repainting soon, I’m just doing a fresh coat of the color we already have on the wall.

    Oh! I have a large piece that I plan on putting above the tv. It’s a large fish net with sea shells and starfish on it. I kinda have a ocean theme going on

    I would think about adding the large piece to one side and not above the tv. That's really going to put things out of balance. You might try turning the aquarium the same direction as the TV on that wall and center the large piece of art above it, in the space between the tv and the corner. Then put the 4 smaller pieces together to the right of the tv. You could post here for feedback.

    Oh we are getting rid of the aquarium. It was holding a pet turtle but we let him go yesterday

    There are so many good ideas out there.

    No need for a bigger tv, just do a projector! The wall is big enough.

  • 8 years ago

    I would actually move the TV a bit lower. Its center should be eye level when you're sitting down, somewhere between 38 - 42" high. Art should be hung so it relates to the stuff around it. I would not hang a fishnet over the TV. It will be hokey. There are other ways to get a beachy vibe.

    I knew I'd seen this room before.

    You let the turtle GO?!?!?? Sorry, I know that's not the topic of this thread or this forum, but really! You have fed this turtle for how long and then released it to find its own food? I know I'm sounding harsh - I'm just aghast. Animals that have been cared for by humans, and who depend upon humans to provide food and shelter, Do. Not. Adapt. to being let out in the wild.

    Sorry for taking that ball she dropped and running with it. PLEASE try to find your turtle and take it someplace where it'll be taken care of.

    Now back to our regularly scheduled program ....

    He’s a wild one. My kids found him in the yard and we had him for a short time. We put him back in the yard, and I’m sure he will be fine. He had a large crack in his shell, so I kept an eye on him and tried to help him heal before releasing him.
  • 8 years ago

    Ok, phew. Thank you for clarifying. I apologize for jumping to an erroneous conclusion. I read "pet" and then "released" and reacted. Good for you for trying to help the little guy/girl.

  • 8 years ago
    His name was Pete the turtle. I’m glad he healed and was able to go back out and continue his ninja turtle ways.

    Anyways, my hubs wants us to have a accent wall in the living room, I think I’ll just do a fresh coat of the paint that’s already on it. Also, I showed the hubby all these pics, with the shelves and all. He doesn’t think they would stay up. Idk. Not really sure how these floating shelves work anyways
  • 8 years ago

    For the current pictures and wall items the problem is they are just out there on their own and not relating to anything. You could add a large floor plant in the aquarium corner closer to the wall pieces, and maybe a nice basket with a throw blanket below the pictures to the right of the console. Agree the fish net would not be a great design choice.
