Tv in entryway needs help

This wall is the entryway but is also where the tv goes. What should I do with it?

Get something you can mount on the wall (it might be that TV) and put a cabinet under it for all the bits.

That said, we got a projecter and a drop-down screen. People occasionally notice the projector (I've thought about ways to hide it, but never notice the screen.

Yes, what @Sigrid said. I’d also try adding some art to the wall between TV & door. Won’t obstruct traffic but should make the wall look more a part of the room.

Can you hand the TV on the long wall without the window or door? Then turn the couch perpendicular to the window. You could even consider a sectional. I'd first think about painting the room a lighter shade with white trim, as it reads as a bit dark gloomy. Also- blinds on window if needed for privacy, floor length panel curtains on a rod that is extended beyond the window about 12" on either side- will make the window appear larger.

I would prefer to see actual pics of the space , a table and chairs there really make no sense at all why not a nice console table with a couple of stoold below it for seating when removing or putting on shoes or boots a piece of art on the wall to the left of the closet and a nice rug.

I don't mind the table and mirror and can't really think of anything besides art that would fit on that wall. Can't see the table details well but could it be painted? How about red to match your lovely door? What would say "fresh and cozy" to you for that space? Have you thought of a new light fixture? A runner and a larger rug in the entrance could look good. I don't find the clock visible from the door to be welcoming so I'd be tempted to remove it.

Why does the t v have to go on the entry wall?

Can you show us the rest of the room? Maybe rearranging your furniture would give you a different option for your tv placement.

I'm guessing from the vertical blinds that this a rental or do you own? Cheap to relocate TV connections if this is your property.

Rest of room. Open concept, one level condo that I own. Just a place to getaway in Orlando. My primary home is in Texas.

Ballard’s makes wall mounted TV cabinets in various colors … Cabinets. I’m sure other companies do, too.

Or I’d just get a more solid and substantial cabinet for the spot, something that will look more intentional rather than temporary…. West Elm example.

I like how you’ve decorated the place!

Thank you. Slow process. I still havr patio chairs in living room but plan to replace at some point!

Cute space - I feel like you have the furniture in the right spot. Just add a more substantial credenza under the tv, and either place the tv on the credenza or hang it on the wall.

I think it would be better to put TV on sofa wall, float the sofa facing the front window so it separates living/dining. Use chairs on the TV side of the rug, Art on the TV wall.

I’ve typed this three times so finally took a screen shot before I lost it again.

I would flip the entire room around so your sofa floats, creating an entryway of sorts with its back. Put the art on the current TV wall and the TV on the current art wall (and get a more substantial console).

I think you need a more substantial cabinet for the TV to go on, especially with the rest of your furniture. The one you have now seems like it's too flimsy to hold the TV.

Target has a cool console in two sizes. Would you recommend large or smaller? Wall is 78". Also natural, black or brown?

Personally I wouldn't put a large console right inside your front door. It will block the entry to your condo. Really think you need to flip the room.

Agree with anj_p. Although I also like Olychick's and decoenthusiate's suggestions. Basically, move the TV to the current sofa wall, and put the sofa anywhere else in the room (except right up against the current TV wall.

The room is 14x28. If I flip the room and allow for a walkway behind the sofa, the living area will be pretty long and narrow.

Janice, I just noticed your macrame hanging — I have a very similar one in my guest room (and I’m in Texas, too).

What size is the small console?

In that case I would float the sofa in front of the window. Console table behind the sofa with plant and/or lamp. TV on your current sofa wall, wall-mounted on brackets that let you pull it out and rotate for a better viewing angle from the sofa.

Sounds like it would work. It’s always hard to say from just static images.

I like the style of it. I’d try moving it a bit farther to the right on that wall.
