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.

Could the TV have been mounted over the fireplace?

12 years ago
Is there a structural reason why the TV wasn't mounted over the fireplace or was this just the preference of the homeowner? Thanks!

    This was both aesthetic and functional. This fireplace is set in the wall quite high and to avoid damage from heat rising from the fire, the TV would have had to have been hung far to high to be comfortable. It is also hidden in the corner, allowing the fireplace to be the feature, without the TV distracting from it.
