    Some kind of




    I do not know what ceiling height, so you can find out yourself how high/low will be book cases from ceiling. Bookcase height is 73 inches.

    Thank thank you! Can you do something with this? I’m worried that it looks too heavy?? This would be 73 inches High as well

    I think a better overall plan would be to put the small sofa there in front of that window and the TV on the wall opposite the front door. You can wall mount it on an articulated arm so you can adjust it for viewing. If you like and need those first cabinets for storage/display, they might be nice flanking the big front window. The more open ones could work flanking the smaller window, but putting TV there is not the best option.

    There is no space for the tv there :/

    I agree about heavy look. I think the other type of shelving would work better, depends on how much you load it with decor.

    I modernized your ceiling fan.:-))). Paint it black and get Edison bulbs instead existing ones.

    Get a second shelf for the other side and move one sofa between them. Put TV on this wall left of the sofa arm in your photo.

    I think decoenthusiaste means to mount the tv on the wall, maybe on an adjustable arm, WITHOUT the big cabinet....you ought to have room for that. I agree that blocking the window with a tv and cabinetry is less than ideal; at the very least you could get a much lower cabinet on which to put the tv (if you are dead set on keeping it in that location), and definitely do not add more shelving directly in front of that window. Another idea: move one of the sofas underneath the second window and have a nice cabinet made, nicely finished on all sides, that could take its place where the sofa by the entryway is currently.....this could sort of create a low, partial “wall”, giving you a sense of a foyer as well. (Obviously I don’t have your space’s dimensions, and I know nothing is 100% ideal, as in a perfect world, lol. We had an oddly shaped living room years ago that had us puzzled all the time, until we had some cabs custom built, placing the tv in the corner, which worked out well.) Again, I would keep the tv a bit lower than it is now, that way this new “partial wall” cabinet wouldn’t have to be too bulky....it could work; this cabinet would need to be custom, obviously.

    If you must keep the TV in front of the window as it is now I would not add anything else. Those shelves will just clutter the space. Have you looked into a corner TV console? A lift/rise console?

    IMO, if you intend to put the tv in front of the window, close those blinds and curtains so light is not coming through. If you want to add towers next to the tv, they need to match the tv cabinet and you need a tower on both sides.

    I would move the sofa that's in front of the window to the other side along the rug edge and put the tv in the corner. Would give you more light in the room and no glare on the tv

    Can you put shelves on the left wall to put decoration or books and you leave the tv as is?

  • 6 years ago

    Tried that!

    Hi Lindsay! Did you had the furniture through Houzz site on the picture? Or in Photoshop?

  • 6 years ago

    The last one I did... the other ones photoshop

    What about sliding the cabinet into the corner left of the window or mounting TV on wall to left. It's really not working in front of window.

  • 6 years ago

    We use to have it mounted......

    Absolutely beautiful before and after. You’re on the right track.

    How about on the other side of window on your entertainment center? Or a longer media cabinet that will go from left wall and under window. Ikea has some nice cabinets and wall mounted shelves etc. that you could arrange on wall around window opening.

    Can some try and put a longer tv stand underneath the tv?! Or mount the tv under the window?

    Check out Ikea Besta cabinet ideas online. Here is one example. You can design them to go across wall from one side to the other, with TV on cabinet or mounted above on left and smaller boxes or cabinets on right side of window.

    Do you like the tv more on the right side of the tv or in front of the window?
