Help me design this TV wall please!!!
Help me redesign this TV wall space! We bought this lovesac and I built a table for lamps behind which I love, but now I can’t stop hating the TV wall. I believe I need a taller TV stand and to mount the TV.
*Tv is 58”. Current stand is 21”H 57”w.
What do you think?
Color of furniture, textures, etc. How do I work around this wall that has the door to the basement, thermostat, and smoke detector? What am I missing? Do I paint, add some wall moulding? What ideas do you have?
**Please see the whole room. Although there are other things I’d like to change with artwork, all is staying for now as TV wall is the priority. Also, I don’t love the current stand enough to try and add legs because it is HEAVY and I’d love maybe a little more storage for kids junk.
Thank you!!!

TV Over Fireplace: Please Show Me How You Designed Yours, Thanks!
Comments (23)I would not do it. It puts unnecessary strain on your neck or forces people to lie back like the dead and it's hard enough to teach my kids to not slouch. You might not think the neck thing matters but we all get old .. if we're lucky. It also makes me feel like I'm in a bar, an airport, or a bad restaurant. Sorry, if that offends anyone, it's how I feel and so far all of my clients have agreed without needing any persuasion.But that doesn't mean it's wrong to do it. Only the owner's family needs to like it. To me it's just not that difficult to put the TV to one side with the great adjustable brackets now available. The proper height of a TV is easy to determine, just sit on a couch, look straight ahead, and have someone measure the point you feel comfortable looking at. Perhaps take an average of your family members. If I had to do it, I would at least put the fireplace box tight to the floor, the mantel low, and be able to enclose the TV when not in use. These things are not pretty. It would also help to recess it and tip it downward for better viewing and less reflected light. I was in an Italian restaurant in the 60's called Charlie's that had multiple gas fireplaces recessed into the wall above seated head height. Would that work?...See Moreat my wit's end - please help me pick a tv
Comments (15)I have an interesting take on this subject as my husband and I did alot of research and just bought an sony wega lcd (widescreen and HD ready) We DO NOT have cable or satalite. Now most people think that we would be crazy to get a HD tv without the cable and just use air however the Air channels come in BETTER! we are even using the same stupid bunny ears for reception that we used on our old tv. Not only that we were so surprised that we can get 18 channels now, compared to the five we had before. WXXI has about 3 HD air channels and we get a local weather channel!!! My husband loves it. The HD air broadcasts are much better looking on the tv than the non-hd. Our tv doesn't stretch the images though however I understand that not all tv's have the same scaling so it is important to research this first. Our DVD's look awesome too and the sound it much better than our old tv. Although it was expensive I am really enjoying it. We saved up for a while and did alot of research first and I feel we made a really good choice. I was really impressed with the new plasma and lcd technology. We chose lcd because it has a much lower power consumption than plasma and is not prone to burn in like plasma (although this isn't so much a problem anymore) The sony has a usb port (awesome!!!!) so I can hook my camara up to it and view videos and pics. Also you can hook a computer up to it and use it as a computer screen. This is great for my husband who likes to work on it. Our previous tv was 26 inches and now we have a 40 inch widescreen. It is a big jump however and although i was worried about the channels coming in poorly they come in much better and look better! We really only use our tv for DVD's (hence us deciding on this specific tv). We stopped going to the movies long ago because they play commercials (which make us SO mad). We decided we would save our money and then buy a nice tv so we can enjoy our movies at home commerical free! I think the most important thing to do is think about what your tv will be used for most often and then do research to figure out what kind of tv will be good for you. If you are playing video games alot then you really need a tv that is different than if you are watching dvd's only. -renee...See Moreneed help designing tv wall unit...

Comments (41)He gets six and 3/4 days and I get 1/4. I am watching Milk Street even as I type- I intensely dislike this Chris guy. Outside of his serial marrying, affair divorce thing he has going (what women?) he is snide and abrasive. Why are all his co-cooks so short? He tastes a dish somewhere-fabulous! Marvelous! takes it back and makes some sort of bizarre not the same dish. His thing. I neglected to say I am not a Hallmark channel fan but I don't have much opportunity to object to it. PBS, oh mercy. What has gone wrong there? All we get is athon-ing. They are telling us that we are going to get TWO Whole Weeks of no fundraising. Oh GEE. If I send money I get to watch them beg for money. Do they feed it to chickens? We get rerun shows when we get shows and the occasional spate of new stuff shown back to back as late as midnight(?) like glutting on it and don't tell me they don't have ads. They show many of the same ads as mainstream TV plus the special ones for kitchen equipment etc for the cooking shows. Hmmmm. Add a couple more and call it good. Seems like a death spiral as they compete with streaming. Sorry for the diversion. Back to Hallmark-it is the visual version of romance novels so popular with so many. soothing I suppose....See MoreRelated Professionals

how could i elevate this doorway space? bigger mirror? I do not want hooks to see visual clutter
I already have a bench next to staircase.

By not worrying about it: )
It's a lot "plop, you're in"
There's a heat run, a door swing, an electrical switch.!
About the ONLY thing you can add? An open tall back chair to remove winter boots, a bit bigger mirror. Ladder back adds height and interest under the switch. ..... looks and is useful.
You can ALSO measure the length and FULL width of the foyer passage, front door , past the stair, to the posts at the new dining room.A looooooonger rug.... a wider rug, and pulled forward of the heat run.
You 're defining the tiny with the entry mat: )
Think bigger, more important and LESS
HERE.......
lose the tiny tack on stuff over the bench. Hang ONE picture. Have ONE lumbar pillow and no! to white and wimpy!Start at the front door, and measure back to here. The FULL width, not the door width.

Big enough? It’s a 40x60. Still deciding if I love the print! This front door needs a super slim mat.

I think that rug position looks better. It is more what Jan was telling you, wider than the door. Maybe just a plant on a tall stool there

Do you think the wall above the blue bench looks empty? or am I just getting used to it?:)
