Advice for empty space below television in LR.
We just started to move in and decorate our space and below the television I have an empty space which I would like to use for either a TV stand or some sort of floating shelf, my problem though is the sound bar pictured on the floor I would like the soundbar to rest on top of the TV stand or on top of the floating shelf, However if I have it a TV stand I wouldn't want one with doors and shelves and additional empty space I may not use, but it would cover up the plug since I would use the outlet at the bottom on the other hand if I used a floating shelf it would look sorta cool but then I would have to drill a hole and run the wire up behind the television because I have two outlets in the wall behind the TV that I put there when we had the house built specifically for the TV plug and the soundbar. (Also there will be a 5x7 rug eventually in the space also)
What you think would look good in that space below the television,
Thank you!

Can someone help with wall space above and below windows in LR?
Comments (1)I am not sure there is a real formula at this point with taller rooms being more prevalent. If the ceiling is 9' and the window is effectively 5', 2' from the top of the ceiling and 2.5' off of the floor sounds about right...See MoreSeeking help for furniture, layout, tv placement for empty living room
Comments (7)I suggest grouping whatever living room furniture you buy around the fireplace. It is what I did in my long living room (mine is wider than yours). Here are some layout suggestions: Before you buy any furniture, make sure you have the room to lay it out something similar to the above suggestions. Put tape on the floor, if you have to and make sure you have enough room to walk around the furniture. You can also try Basset Furniture and/or La-Z-Boy showrooms. They can help you with furniture arrangement and they do not charge you, like a designer does. For the TV, you could either get an entertainment center that will fit right or left of the fireplace or your could even mount your TV on the wall (I have 2 TV's that are wall mounted and I love it). When I was getting ready to move into my house 3 years ago, I needed brand new living room, dining room, and family room furniture. I shopped sales and I found my 2 sofas that are in my living room first at a furniture store selling La-Z-Boy furniture. I got lucky! The sofas were on sale for over 60% off and after choosing them, everything else fell into place. For the family room, I went to a La-Z-Boy showroom, found a reclining sofa I loved, and it was also on sale. I choose soft, neutral colors for it and two rocking recliners. We use this room to relax and watch movies on our big TV in the family room. I also suggest looking at rooms on Houzz and see what appeals to you, in style and color....See MoreWhat do I do with space above fireplace? And below tv?
Comments (25)Not a Pro. I agree with above about the tv. Above the fireplace I would put a painting over the top of that alcove. From the pictures it looks like there is a ledge, so the art can be place over the top and it will appear that it is on a wall. The other alcove I would add shelves, or a sculpture, lighted up as suggested above. Some inspiration:...See MoreNeed help with sectional and TV placement in LR
