Help with off-centred TV wall
We're having a bit of trouble figuring out what to do with this off-centred TV wall. If we sit the TV on a media stand, it creates too much blank space above. (We'd get a longer media stand, though - current one was gifted so we'd at least have something in the meantime!) If we hang it on the wall, what do we fill the space below and beside it with? Need to be able to access the outlets below. Would like to incorporate a tall, potted plant, too. Looked at quite a few houzz photos for inspo, but wasn't convinced some ideas would work where our space is off-centred due to the window. Any ideas appreciated.
(Note: I find this photo shrinks the size of the chair and TV. For reference, it's a 50 inch TV.)

Off centre fireplace in double living room
Comments (26)Loving the alcove ideas. SOOO much better!! This is where chairs with a swivel come in handy. We found they can be added to many chair designs. To orientate your room to the fireplace may look best--is it really how the room is used MOST often? I gave up long ago pretending the TV wasn't the main use for our living room....See MoreWhat to do with an off centre wall bump-out
Comments (8)A tension rod like this one should fit between the 2 cabinets. Most home decorating fabric is 54" wide and to me it looks as if your bed is a double which is 54" wide. So one width of the fabric is perfect if it is something like a drapery fabric and you do it like the striped example I showed above. If you don't sew, you can buy iron-down tape to turn the edges under, and to make the pocket for the top. Or even just cut off the edges even with the pattern, and use pins or staples to make the pocket. Especially if you use a patterned fabric, the focus will be on the pattern and not the details. Easy peasy, inexpensive and no holes in the walls....See MoreHelp!! I need inspiration for an off centered TV
Comments (1)I like the shelves. Will you have a sectional too? I can't see the whole room, but could you do a couch and two small chairs instead of the sectional? And if your TV will be bigger you may not have to move it over much for it to be centered on the wall if that's what you wanted....See MoreHelp needed for off centred window in living room.
Comments (8)I guess the couch IS the recliner you mentioned? I don’t see what the window has to do with placement of the recliner. The recliner isn’t that tall so as to block the window. Just pull it toward the right (as I am looking at your picture, pull it right at least a foot) and maybe forward a bit towards the rug too. As is, the recliner looks as though it’s trying to squeeze itself into the corner....See Morehouseofjy

5 years ago- We are almost finished with our LR makeover and I painted our old brick fireplace. So my husband decided that's where we needed to move our tv to after purchasing a new (much bigger) one. We purchased a ceiling mount from Amazon to hang it from and it works great. My husband installed it at an odd angle I thought in the corner BUT it looks great and the tv doesn't cover up all my hard work painting. If you hang it from the ceiling, it frees up so much room to add things like plants, shelving etc. Good luck!

Here's a few more photos of that corner. The furthest to the left is our gas fireplace insert and the smaller alcove was used for wood storage at one time. Now we use it as a little space for pics etc. We have way too many photos and would love to put some away, but don't know how to pick which ones NOT to display. The stairway in the
photo is no longer in use so my DH decided we should put his grandfather's old whiskey and Guiness bottle on it that used to be on our fireplace mantle. Hope this helps!
