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.

Help! TV console design dilemia

2 years ago

Hi, I just bought this TV console for my apartment that I just moved into. The company won't let me move the console and this is the only Wall in the room for a TV. It looks ugly if I try to mount it to cove the tall outlet because the console is not taller than the lower outlet. Would it look bad if I added a shelf above the TV with my sound bar on it to block this ugly wall outlet? How can I cover that ugly upper outlet? Would Wall Art look good, if so what size?

    You can get Ikea floating shelves and put your soundbar up there without wires showing. Lucky you!
