Blocking a window with a tv is not an optimal idea. Can you put it at an angle in the corner (opposite tree) and proceed with your bookcase idea?

Your inspiration photo pretty much shows you how it will look. If you are going that route, I'd get woven blinds instead of the current curtains (keep the blinds closed), and paint the walls/moldings behind the tv the color of the blinds.

Move it to the left, away from in front of the window. Even if you have to mount on wall or get smaller stand. You have some wall space there. I really don’t think blocking the window looks good or is practical.

IMO a big cluttered mes for no real purpose. Do you have a lot of really lovely things that need to be displayed ? IMO most open shelves have a bunch of clutter that does not need to be dsiplayed . As for the TV that is the worst possible place for it but I need to see the whole room .

Why did you start another post?
Is the TV too big for the wall on the left? Can’t really tell from the pic on your other post. Have you shifted it down to see how that feels? The inspiration pic looks odd to me but if you like it then do it exactly like that.

I couldn’t find the old post!

I would mount the tv on the wall in either corner, get rid of the tv stand completely, move the couch in and align the console table with the half wall so it doesn’t stick out in the entry. Put a nice display table under the window for balance. Or you could switch the couch and loveseat places. Then find some pretty artwork and throw pillows. See how that works. Awkward rooms are always the hardest to arrange and requires a lot of repositioning to find the best solution. You have a good neutral backdrop.

You have to mount the tv in a corner. For the moment just put tv in the right corner. Also move the couches in L shape toward the left (in front of the entrance) but leave a corridor space to circulate between the entrance and the back of the sofa.

I do video consultation if you want.

I moved everything

awkward room layout. there is no other place for the tv?

this look isn't as bad because there are two windows and the tv is small. but yours isn't

Here they've run long curtains to somewhat disguise it, used a long enough media cabinet, and put things on either side.

Corner tv placement

If you do it in front of the window, then balance out the sides like they've shown here

I might be tempted to completely cover the window and do something like this w/built ins on either side.

Or, what you could do, if possible, is move the window to the far right or left, and do something like this

You'd still have your window, but you'd have an entire wall for your tv.

In the long run, redoing the window would be the best option.

Your window looks like it’s high on the wall. I think if you just switched the stand to something a little lower (so the top of the tv is just under the window) it would look fine. As others said, just close the blinds and remove the curtains. Easy, inexpensive, and functional for the purpose of the room.

Lindsay, can you try rotating the couches to the left on the carpet?

Hi, Lindsay, your room could benefit from some more balance and fewer pieces of furniture. Try the TV on the media cabinet under the small window and remove the drapes, switch the sofa and love seat and pull the sofa away from the wall until the arm rest won’t overlap the media cabinet. The sofa console may be a better length to be behind the love seat. You won’t need the little table the TV is on now, and it looks so small that the TV could topple over. It looks like you need toy storage. Add tall bookshelves with bottom cabinets or drawers on both sides of the small window and about the same height as top of the window - this will give height to the room and make it feel bigger. If you need more seating, make the media cabinet a padded window seat and hang the TV in the corner, they have special reciprocating arm brackets for TVs in a corner. Another option is to move the sofa console under the big window with a pair of lamps, the sofa in front of it, and the love seat where the sofa is.

Before you start moving furniture again, measure everything and do a floor plan. If you post the floor plan, then Houzers can better help you with the furniture layout.

If you don’t own lots of books or collectibles you want to display, I think you want doors instead of bookshelves.
Two of either of these from Ikea would look good if they fit your small window wall.

Hi Lindsay you seem like your struggling with this room. Can you tell me what are the room measurements and I know this is included but how wide is the foyer wall that is connected to the family room?
