Flat TV placement in bedroom--seen any dresser/hutch combos?
Comments (5)Thanks. I do think we'll be hanging a LCD on the wall above the dresser(ours will only be 19-21"). I do find that other stores/furniture-makers mimic Pottery Barn pieces 6 months to a year after they come out with something--but I'm not waiting that long and there are no guarantees! Aside from a simple TV mounted on the wall, these are other ideas I've received: --Hanging the tv behind a mirror that is made for TV in the bedroom. These mirrors are less opaque than the ones used in bathroom/TV setups--but they are very expensive at this pt! --I think one TV manufacturer is making a tv that is already a mirror when off--Philips? Again, very expensive. --Put the TV up on the wall but put a frame around it like a picture. Someone suggested velcro to attach to the frame of TV(?) I guess you'd just have to be careful to be sure it doesn't hinder air circulation. --Place other pictures, plates, etc around the tv (if it's not a big one) and treat it like another picture. And searching Google images is a good idea....See MoreShould I get this media dresser for my bedroom?
Comments (10)Thanks everyone! Les917 - that is a beautiful beautiful beautiful piece!!! I think it is not wide enough though. Cindyloo123 - You are right, we need something on the tall side - we need approx. 3 feet high and want 4 feet wide to balance the width of the TV. Hubby had run all the wiring for the cable box and we really don't want to hang anything above the TV. We want some sort of cabinet/bookshelf/table/whatever for underneath the TV to hold the cable box but not show any of the icky wires. I am a sucker for painted/distressed furniture and I am glad to see many of you suggesting I go that route. Originally I did think that black might work, but with the kinds of fabrics that I am leaning towards with bedding/drapery, I think that vanilla or creamy colors might be best. I still am not even close to finalizing decision on the fabrics but I do know that I want lighter kinds of colors as opposed to dark. aktillery - that link did not work for me...See MoreBedroom Dressers
Comments (6)I have a very old french provinical dresser in yellow and dark top. A find from a yard sale that I just feel in love with. I found a mirror *large rectangular, to lean long ways on the dresser in the center. I keep items to a minimum. I have a small upholstered chair to the right and am looking for a very frenchy candle holder/sconce. I have a small yellow vase on the dresser, which I need to put a flower in! On the left I have an artists print/framed leaning against the wall - its very small. And a couple little jewelry boxes. Hope this helps!!...See MoreLiving with no bedroom dressers & what goes over the bed?
Comments (15)Oh goodness, if you don't need the dressers, get rid of them, because to you they're just useless clutter and very large clutter at that! It seems to be all the rage to have all your clothing storage in massive closets with built-in drawers and no freestanding dressers at all, especially where the other furniture you've chosen is very sleek and modern in feel it makes sense to continue to streamline the room further. If you were on the other end of the spectrum, with Victorian antiques and a higher "fuss factor", it might be more likely to look like something is missing if you didn't have a dresser. My thought for the wall is a scattering of small, unframed (but perhaps beveled), simple round mirrors, just for some sparkle but not big enough to actually reflect anything you don't want reflected - if ya know what I mean. ;-) You can get the mirrors inexpensively at a crafts store or through eBay. Say, a mixture of 2", 3", and 4" ones. Think stars in the night sky, or moonlight rippling on the water, not disco ball. ;-) A little sparkle, a little roundness, but still keeping that clean, modern feel. If I may make an unsolicited suggestion (my feelings will not be hurt one bit if you tell me to stuff it where the sun don't shine :-)) the countryish white chair in the corner is throwing me off a little bit - it's kind of like you have the "black modern side of the room" and the "white traditional side of the room". Is there any way that the white chair could be switched for a black one, maybe a little severer in style (to riff off that great bed), or that one painted black if it can't be changed out? Since you're an Ikea shopper, I think there are a couple of chairs on their website that would echo the lines of that pretty bed really well: Roger (recover the seat in blue - perfect! this one's my favorite), Stefan, maybe Norvald. The room is coming together into a really snazzy one, though!...See Moremulder2001
