I need help TV Placement

12 years ago
I would like to place the TV in the same area with a more appealing design solution. I am open to good ideas for placing it somewhere else in the space as well. I open to all ideas. The kitchen looks out to the windows and living room area.

    I believe the t.v. should be on the wall opposite from where it is now. Then play around with the sofa, etc. As it is, the t.v. is taking away from the fireplace and view. It's a lovely home.

    I too believe the t.v should be on the opposite wall. But, not sure that one of your sofa would fit in the place of your t.v. The sofa looks longer than the t.v. screen. . Another way, would be to put the sofas facing each other with the fireplace in between. The sofa in front on your living room window doesn't have to be against it . You could approach it toward your fireplace and in the back of this sofa but a long narrow table with lovely lamps . Also, I would take one side table out of the room. Your living room needs to be airy and in the picture it's look too full. You have a lovely home.

    Lovely room. Bright and airy.

    I too agree that the tv should be on the opposite wall.

    How about trying it for us, with just the furniture; don't bother moving the tv yet. Do some editing first by removing end tables. Move the 2 sofas opposite each other (the window sofa stays put.)

    Then post pics and let's see how that looks. :)

    Agree with others ... try on the opposite wall . This would give the room a more open feeling with a clearer view to opposite room. Removing the tall candles, plants would also free up the view.

    Is that a shelf where the tv is? I think I would get a smaller tv for the space. I like the furniture placement and I very rarely say that :)

    I agree with Dytecture about building a wall between the two areas. The open concepts look great, but you run into problems when you need a wall to place something against.

    You might get rid of one of your couches and replace it with a couple of chairs that wouldn't take up so much space. You have 3 large pieces that need to be against a wall, and you don't have enough wall space........

    HI -- I think having the TV where it is now is the best place -- keeping the two focal items together ( TV and fireplace ). You could install a thin wood wall panel ( wood ,an inch or so thick for stability ) in between and hang the TV on a swivel bracket mount and add some glass shelves on the dining room side . I don't think you need to have that open space there , but you could also not fill in the whole area with the panel , maybe leave some area open at the top. I like your display over the sofa - very artistic , but I do think the above kitchen cabinets needs some editing . Nice things but too many .

    Regardless of where you put he TV, wouldnt it be better at head height?

    For best viewing TV should be at eye level when you're sitting. You might just lower it to that height where it is now. Second option would be opposite the FP with the two sofas facing each other, the one under the window and the other one floating in the center of the space. Coffee table should be about 18" from each sofa for a convenient place to put drinks, reading material within reach of both. If 18" from each makes things too crowded, put the coffee table with the floating sofa and use the square one in the corner for the window sofa. Additional, warming touches would be stationary drapery panels each end of the windows and a lamp. One for the table would be good, or an arc floor lamp that stretches from the corner and hovers above the coffee table could be nice.
