My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tv over fireplace help!

4 years ago

Were planning on putting thr Samsung frame TV above our fireplace. Fireplace is as shown below in the photo - exactly as shown, itll be between two windows and the wall between the two windows where the fireplace will be is not raised (it will be flat).


Question is: 55” TV (47” wide) or 65” TV (57” wide)


fireplace with the mantle around it is 55” wide and from floor to top of mantle is 44” high. (fireplace itself is approx 35” wide x33” tall )


i think rule of thumb is TV/artpiece above fireplace should be narrower than the mantel itself (if not the fireplace itself) but this means we cannot get

a 65” tv? :(
