TV wall/console help!

2 years ago

What do I do with this tv wall/ console table ? The current temporary one is 68 inches and it is too small (and too busy). What color / style would work in this room ? Any idea on how I can make the wall more interesting ?

    Can you post a few more pictures? Especially the full wall you are asking about?

    Personally, I don't know how much you have to do to the walls but how about some colored pillow or throws and decoration on the coffee table?

    I tried to post 4 . Let me try again.

    Too busy? Yes. Change out the mirrors on the doors somehow - either replace them or paint them the same color as the console.


    Too small? No - I think it is too big for the TV.

    That console is going elsewhere. I’m just using it to hold the tv until I find something for that space

    The pros can help with style. I’d look for a console that’s about 25% wider than the TV.

    Select a cabinet that hangs off the wall for a minimal appearance. Wayfair has quite a few to select from.

    @beverly- thank you ! I was thinking brown for this space. Thoughts ? Do you think black is a better fit ?

    Find the cabinet first and then see what finishes are offered. When you say brown, do you mean espresso? That finish would complement your fireplace stone and mantel.


    Center the TV on the ceiling design

    Place the TV lower then you currently have it

    If it were my home I would invest in a larger screen TV for this wall and a wall cabinet at least 96" in width.

    Thank you ! I was thinking of a brown more similar to the leather accent chair . I’m also fine with changing the color of that mantle piece

    walnut might be as close as you can get to that color.

    I like it ! Just nervous that wall is going to look bare with just a tv and a slim tv stand .. ?? I guess the tv will take up more space ?

    Your furnishings look fairly modern - take a look at BDI - they have some awesome consoles (they’re expensive, but gee, what isn’t these days that’s worth buying?) Nice ventilation for all your electronics underneath. This one is the short one, but they have ones that are a bit taller (depending on your TV - my hubby HAD to have the 85” one)

    Look at Ikea Besta they have great ideas for TV a bit of storage and even a bit of diplay IMO the TV needs to be a bit lower too. And boy do you need lighting and a coffee table that can't be reached from the sofa is useless . The lobe chaire needs a t table that tiny one could work then a bigger one between the 2 chairs and some lamps for sure

    The furniture just arrived so I’m in the beginning stages of putting the room together . Any suggestions on where I should put lamps /lighting ? Tall lamps block view and there is nowhere in the ceiling to put a chandelier.

    Outlets are a huge problem in this space

    A lighter console should help this space a lot. Please see the console we used in a recent design, included here:
