In today's world, interior design doesn't really work without placing the TV in the most appropriate place. It's probably even true to say that for many people, the television is the main element in their living room furnishings. However, this can be a challenge if you have to find a place for it or position the TV in front of a window. Here are some tips for decorating the living space with the coveted TVs without compromising its integrity.
If you choose to place your TV in front of a window, you generally shouldn't have any issues with longevity or use. In winter, the cool air will probably be good for the device, especially when it comes to a plasma TV. The processors and circuitry that reside within are designed to withstand temperatures up to 70°C. Assuming you haven't hung your flat screen in direct sunlight with the heater on warming everything up at the same time.
Find a power connection for the television
We sometimes have to place TVs in front of windows in corners to save space or favor the layout. We'll analyze these situations to see how a TV can influence the rest of the decor in the room. Whether it's a wall-mounted TV or a projector, there's always an option to make it look good.
First, it's best to find the nearest energy source to which you want to connect your flat screen TV. Also make sure that there is enough power to handle extras such as TV home cinema, Blue Ray players, sound systems or projectors for TV. Also think carefully about whether you want to decorate your windows, leave them without curtains or cover them. When decorating a large living room, it is also important to estimate how much glare you will get on the screen.
Allow distance
Above all, it is important to place the television at eye level in front of the window or elsewhere in the room. This works better if you don't have to strain your neck or eyes to see the screen while sitting. As a rule, the optimal distance is from the couch, carpet ora shelfbehind sofa approx. 120 cm. Then multiply the diagonal width of the screen by three to allow for the best viewing distance.
If your TV is in front of a window or in the center of attention, place it in the middle of the seating area. For another focal point like a fireplace, consider hanging the TV on the wall so you can view it comfortably. If you don't want your device to be the center of attention or want to hide it, you can hide it in a suitable cabinet with doors. Also, make sure its casing can open and close to keep the technology away from children.
Integrate a television in front of the window
Incorporate your TV into the decor by placing it on a unit such as a bookshelf and surrounding it with books, objects or photos. To make the flat screen TV fit even better into the interior, you can mask it with images like in a gallery. A TV stand with wheels that you can move as needed is also suitable for placing the television in front of a window.
A wall mount is also a good option if you want to rotate the device in the desired direction. Most decorators would say that you should never place your television on or above the mantel. Not only is it too high, but by doing so you are placing a large, black flat screen above the highlight of the room. For this reason, try to find another suitable location for it or integrate the device unobtrusively into the wall.
Possible variants for placement
Style really isn't important in this case. What counts is actually the configuration of the room and the design options. A television in front of a window can be placed in different ways. Another option would also be to integrate this into a corner storage unit that has some shelves and storage in general. Corner furniture can be freestanding or a part of larger structures that extend onto the adjacent walls. In this case, the entire focus shifts to that particular area of the room, forcing the layout to use the opposite corners. Corner TV placements are also a practical option for open floor plans that include more than one function. You can align the seating area or living room to a corner and create a cozy enclosure.
Use space-saving corners
A television in front of the window is also a possible option if there is simply no more space on the walls. For example, this living room has one wall full of windows and another that is mostly taken up by furniture. Since it's generally not a good idea to position the screen directly against daylight, you can find a corner spot for it.
Instead of standing on a large TV wall, you can also position your TV on a small console table. It's a casual way to do this and the table doesn't take up the entire corner, keeping the room airy and feeling more spacious overall.
If you use your device in small spaces, likein a bedroom as a second devicea suitable corner would be the better option, so that the sleeping space is not cramped by unnecessary pieces of furniture. Imagine placing the TV in the corner when you want the sofa to face the large windows but you have no choice but to move the TV. The corner is a practical option, but of course it all depends on the size of the room and the device.
Not all rooms have a television. However, those who have one often have difficulty finding a suitable place for it. Certainly putting the device on the dresser can be a viable solution. But you can save more space by hanging it in the corner of the room under the ceiling. This would be a comfortable option considering you are lying in bed while watching TV.
