Best place for TV in bedroom
While the bedroom is not my first choice for a TV if I'd like to watch anything but football for the next 4 months I have zero options.
Bedroom is 13.5×13.5. I picked up a 50' this am. I wanted to mount in in the upper ledt corner where the cable and plug in are with one of those fancy articulating wall mounted holders. I just don't want the t.v. to be the focus of the room. We were looking at a 40" but thought maybe with the distance might be a bit on the small side.
What do you think regarding placement in the upper left corner?
Thank you!

Bedroom, turned TV room - does it work?
Comments (34)I think it's a very cozy, inviting room! The only things I would change would be balancing the artwork and scooching the chairs out just a bit further apart (but if you like the chairs close, then leave them as they are). Both sets of pictures look "off" to me. I would probably center the larger print alone over the red table, align the dog picture alone above the table (maybe centered between the plants? or centered above the table? I'd have to play with it), then move the two smaller pictures to the opposite wall from the dog picture (either stacked or directly side by side -- I can't tell how much room you have there). Enjoy your lovely room!!!...See Morepls show me tv in master bedroom
Comments (34)"Plus, sleep and marriage experts generally recommend to save the bedroom for sleep and sex, and since one statistic showed couples with TVs in the bedroom have half as much sex as couples without TVs in the bedroom" Really??? I don't know who these "experts" interviewed, but I can assure you that the tv has never presented a problem in the intimacy department in my own home. Also, I find it sad these so called "experts" deem the bedroom as the only suitable room for sex in one's home. IMO, lack of imagination, or perhaps some other undisclosed "issues" in the marriages of those who were interviewed by these "experts" seem to be the more likely intervening factor. Our bedroom tv sits on a bookcase on the wall across from our bed, since DH uses the armoire for storing some off season clothing....See Moremaster bedroom: closet storage, tv, bed location

Comments (90)Kswl that is the perfect size TV for me. That's one huge disagreement between hubs and me. He says tv's of a certain size aren't even worth watching. I had a tiny one when we first met. Never bothered me. Had a small one in the bedroom, good enough for me. Hubs claims he can't see the tv images well when they are small, but I have terrible vision and I can see the tv just fine. I guess I just don't put much stock in the images on the screen and their quality. I prefer real life for that kind of thing . . . Hubs is gone visiting family and I totally don't miss the big screen monster being on all the time. I have been aware that it is intrusive but now more than ever. It was wanting to get away from the monster that led me to the smaller set in the bedroom in the first place. Both hubs and I are boomers, so I know darn well that life went on for our parent's generation and grandparents without these huge TV images and they never complained about not being able to see . . . hear on the other hand . . . but that had a remedy. I can't stand the loud tv noise either . . ....See Moreakl_vdb
6 years agoLol! We've been married 12 years and we've only added a kid to the mix that also loves football! It's usually my laundry/work out/shopping day but would be nice to catch up on Grey's!
The bedroom is not large and we weren't planning on putting another piece of furniture there. We have a king sized bed and a bench at the end of the bed for the dog to jump.
But I do see what you are saying about it drawing attention to the corner.
We have a new duvet cover yet to be put on. We'll see how that goes.

6 years agoWhen furniture shopping, saw a room display with a wall like this and did not notice the TV right away. Very effective.
