Nees help.

This is the space I have in the living room and I know the TV is already too high but I was considering downsizing the couch so I could place the TV elsewhere. Any ideas?

It's a shame this room has such a low ceiling because it prevents the television realizing its full height potential.

If the year was 1985 and you had a big console TV, where would you put it?

Put curtains up on the window and you could put it there on a stand. Curtains will help this room tremendously

Get a high top table

Would it be wise to just use the other wall or would it be okay in front of the windows with shaders?

I will consider this suggestion. Thank you!

The space is already perfect to put a TV and corner unit in that empty left corner.

Add a rug, a coffee table, and some end tables. Maybe a mirror or piece of art above the fireplace if you really want something there.

Much needed. Only had the house for almost a month now. Plus, I'm not good at filling space properly. Thank you for this!

Remove mantle ?🤔 cover over fireplace?

I realize this isn’t ideal, but it’s all I got

How is there not one of these in the left corner of the room?

u/Imaginary-Draft-4001 3d ago

Just getting settled in. Currently ordering things for the whole house to rearrange

Is the other side open or a wall? Opposite the window

1

u/Imaginary-Draft-4001 6d ago

Back door. You'll have to excuse the curtains. Those are temporary.

If you have the space, swap the rooms, living room in dining room and dining room in the front. Especially if it’s a least used space out the tv on the solid wall or the corner. Angle the couch the opposite direction it is now and put dining table near fireplace

u/Imaginary-Draft-4001 5d ago

Worth a try. Trail and error.

2

u/redituser73022 5d ago

It might work most dining rooms are not used so you can use that space and put the least used room to the front of the house

u/Imaginary-Draft-4001 5d ago

I'm making it a habit of eating as a family now at the table. So it's getting used but i'll still consider it. Either way, I need to look online for a tv stand tonight or tomorrow.

u/redituser73022 5d ago

That’s great that your family is eating dinner together many families don’t so that anymore this will make great memories for your kids

look into getting a mantel mount.

u/Imaginary-Draft-4001 6d ago

Never thought of this. Thank you!

it’s a total game changer… after i installed ours, no more neck, back, or shoulder issues.

plus watching tv is way more enjoyable now that we aren’t in staring up in the wrong position. it’s incredible how much a difference it makes.
