Can I put the TV here?
Comments (5)Actually the room is about 18.5 feet wide. The room dimensions are from in front of the fireplace. It protrudes because we are not allowed to box in the fireplace on the outside of the house. We are in a historical area which requires us to only use full stone or brick on the outside. We are having another full masonry fireplace elsewhere and can't afford two. So we have designed a beautiful craftsman fireplace copied from an inspiration picture I have which has drywall that tapers inward above the mantle. The fireplace will only protrude about 2.5 feet and the built ins will be about 20 inches deep to display our art glass collection. The couch is 82 inches long and the endtable is 20 inches wide. Originally I had designed a wrap around built-in contraption in that right corner that would encase the TV on the wall there. The built-in started to get way too complex (expensive!) and there wasn't a good way to put doors on it. I also had considered a pop up mechanism, but those seem to either be unreliable or run way too expensive for our means. A concern with the pop up was that it would be recessed too far "behind" the fireplace to be viewed by the seating on the other side of the fireplace. So if it wasn't going to be perfect I didn't want to spend an extra $10,000 on it in addition to the cost of the TV and mounting brackets....See MoreCan I put light colored laminate next to medium-dark hardwood?
Comments (7)I have hardwood. It can really take a beating and is rather low maintenance. Like lindac says, you have to take care, wipe up spills immediately, etc, and yes, it will show dings if you drop a hammer on it. Will you have an area rug in the room? At 6 and 2 your kids would never be untended, and they should be learning the procedures for taking care of problems. In my house, we use bathtowels for spills as they can go directly into the washer. We once had a full gallon of milk burst on the floor and once had a pitcher of red kool-aid spill without any sign of damage. It took a LOT of bath towels to clean up those messes!!! I would lay the same flooring you have in the rest of the house, along with a rug. You will never get a good match with laminate....See MoreWhat to put on same wall as TV
Comments (5)I would move the TV to the middle of the room and get a long, low console to go under it. A grouping of pictures around the TV would look great. A large beautiful rug would be the next thing I'd consider....See MoreWhat should I put on the right side of the TV console and floor lamp?
Comments (5)What I’d try (if room permits) is bringing the guitar out just a bit and angling it ... and leaving the other side empty. If that isn’t possible, I’d relocate the guitar completely, and move the towers away from the TV a few inches or so. Third option: another guitar. 😉...See Morelittlebug zone 5 Missouri
