Help! Placement of TV in living room
Danepak
Posts: 1,642
Having a house built.
Can't decide if I want the TV placed centrally in the living room (as the attached original plan), or if it should be centered just on the wall.
By centering it on the wall, I guess we would be able to move all the furniture down and therefore create more space.

Pretty important, as cabling is being done shortly, before walls go up.paulie8290 said:First World Problems1 -
Are the white rectangles seating?
if so surely put as per top plan?1 -
Top view would worry if someone cutting the corner would hit the tele.0
-
Depends on if the opening at the bottom are windows or a full height opening that allows access to the outside. If the former, then move it. If the latter, stick with the original plan.0

Good point. It would be wall mounted though, so they should be very clumsy.CharltonKerry said:Top view would worry if someone cutting the corner would hit the tele.0 -
Is it normal to sit on a heat pump?2

is that plan out of proportion? You’ve got what I assume to be bi-fold patio doors at the top which implies the room is a decent size but a sofa, coffee table and two chairs that imply the room is a tad on the cosy side. Either way, you’re probably going to get pissed off watching tv in the summer if the set is on one wall and the sofa is against the opposite one because you are going to have daylight in the periphery of your sight line from both sides with the patio doors on the left and the window on the right. You probably also wouldn’t want to be the persons sitting in either chair watching tv. How big is the man cave tv, is it planned to be a small one like that as well ?

Top one0

Turn chairs to face that big window and jog the tv on1

Top one definitely.Symmetry is far more important for the room as a whole, rather than the wall.3

Size of living room is 4m x 5m, so definitely not big.letthegoodtimesroll said:is that plan out of proportion?

Man cave? In my dreams. It’s a super compact double storey house with 5 bedrooms on 146m2. No space for a man cave.
In regards to sunlight and TV issues, we’ll have blinds to sort out the issue. Not that often we would be watching TV during the daytime in the summer anyway, but I hear what you say.0 -
put i on the wall with an extending bracket so that you can reposition when you need to0

I would go with what gives you the most space.0

Option B

I hear you, but I don’t like the look of those kind of brackets.lancashire lad said:put i on the wall with an extending bracket so that you can reposition when you need to0 -
Generally speaking, where possible a TV should not face towards a window/windows......thus avoiding the glare of sunlight/daylight.0

Not sure why you’re worried mate, the boss will make the final decision anyway 😉0

What is this... A house for ants? It needs to be at least three times bigger than this3

We've got one that holds a 65 incher and it's great.Danepak said:

Unless you literally mean the look of it, as you can't get them flush to the wall.0 -
Isn’t it pushing the TV quite far away from the wall, when when it’s not turned in an angle?Talal said:

Option B for me. I think you'll prefer the cosier feel of being tucked further into the space.0
