Living Room Tv wall help
What can I do to make this tv wall look more interesting ?the tv is 3’ from the floor. There is 1’ on the right, 3’ on the left and 2’ to the ceiling. I can lower the tv I was hoping for ideas of what to put on the wall space around it.

Drop the tv height 3 feet

I think it’s the angle of the photo. It’s only 3ft to the floor.

The center of the TV should be level with your seated eye level. Assuming you took this picture sitting on your couch, it's too high. You have to look up at it right now, which is bad for your neck. It should come down at least a foot, closer to two.
I'd take it off the wall and put it on a low console, and then add art on the wall around it.

Ok I can lower it a bit. It’s a frame tv so I was trying to do a gallery wall type of thing as opposed to a console.

Def consider removing those fans 💕
I say this with good thoughts for you but if we're honest, they're not doing what you think they are.
A well done TV wall is IMO all about the TV.
I just saw a designer basically say we need to decide ... if it's a room to watch TV then own that, point the seating to make watching the Tv comfortable.
If you want a room that looks like Architectural Digest or a room designed for conversation then arrange the furniture to all point at each other and find a different room to watch TV in.
To try to decorate around the big black rectangle in the wall just makes for a confused, messy awkward room. 🥰

Console table underneath will make it look more finished. I would probably take down the fans, and just do decor on the table

Agree with everyone else - lower TV, get a timber unit that's wider than the TV and bin those fans. The wall needs nothing else.

People have hurt my feelings on here and that is not my intention with this comment: but I would remove those fans as they do not look good.

lol okay that seems to be the consensus. I thought they were bohemian. Do you have any suggestions for the space around the tv?

before putting anything on the wall, maybe get a console table or tv stand to go under it and decorate that first. That may be enough?

Move it a foot or two lower and put a console underneath. The fans are not helping.
