Where to put the TV?

7 years ago

We’ve just closed on this house (first pic) and we’re trying to decide where to put the TV. We don’t want it over the fireplace. So that leaves the huge wall to the right. Or to the right or left if the fireplace. The previous owner had it on the huge wall, though I don’t really like the thought of having our backs to the windows. But we’re not sure what would be best.

If we went on either side of the fireplace we’d have to get a smaller wooden TV stand (Our TV stand is the 2nd pic). Or maybe off the wall? If preferred on the big wall we’d use our wooden TV stand. Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be enough room on either side of the fireplace for a TV, unless it's very small. Also the room seems too narrow to have a sofa facing the fireplace. I'd do it on the big wall for sure. Sofa under the window.

How much space do you have on the side of the fireplace? Would you consider putting it in the corner?

Looks like you have it in the corner in your current house. I’d go corner by window with sofa on big wall.

I have a ceiling height fireplace too. My room is the opposite of yours in the windows are on the right and the large wall is on the left. My tv is on the right with my sofa on the big wall. My friend who has a similar room setup to me, found that she had to close the blinds a lot when she had her tv on the large wall because there was a lot of glare.

Sorry, the dimensions are: room is 13x 20. There is 4ft of space on either side of the fireplace. So i think there’s room for a couch on any side in the room.

We would put it on one side of the fireplace, just not sure if it would look good in the smaller space. Plus then decorating that huge open wall. Decorating isn’t my forte :) Oh and another note. We lost most of our furniture in the move as we had to put it in storage. The storage unit flooded. The couch didn’t make it, the TV stand did. But we can change things. Thanks!

I just measured my space and I have 42.5 inches on each side of my fireplace. I have a 60 inch tv on my stand (which is not a corner stand, it's just a more minimalist stand). The stand is on an angle but the tv covers the brick slightly.
