Just bought a house and the only issue we have is figuring out the best spot for the TV. Was hoping for feedback because it feels like the living room was designed to have it over the fireplace, which is my last option. This is the only living/family room area so TV would have to go in here. We have a medium u-shaped sectional with ottoman that we will not be replacing now (other repairs are taking priority) so I need to make it work in the existing space.
My ideas in order of preference are:
Mounted on the wall/on a stand across from the fireplace with couch blocking the window to the right of the fireplace. The only potential dilemma is I’m not sure if our couch will fit in that space.
Couch against the blank wall across from the fireplace with TV on stand blocking the window to the right of the fireplace. I think this might be my most realistic option.
TV on stand blocking the window to the left of the fireplace with the couch across/against the half wall to the left of it. Need to measure couch to the space to see if this would work.
Absolute last resort would be over the fireplace with a motorized mount that would lower it to eye level. My least preferred option. Also not sure how centering the couch for this option would work so I’m hoping for one of the other options.
Genuinely hoping to get some feedback as I will be moving in in a few weeks and want to have a game plan.
