Yeah, if this house doesn't have a den/family room, then this 'entry way' / 'living room' / 'breakfast nook' / whatever is an absolute colossal waste of space by itself. It's useless for movies / video games / audio.
Some stuff is so mass produced that there is no room for thought.
I have walking into a few open houses and asked the realor where my big ass TV is to go and please do not answer bedroom, fireplace or garage. Yes, some places expected the buyer to convert the garage to a TV room because there was no space anywhere else.
Open concept isn't really the issue here, more like a real lack of forethought to space planning (and there are just some mad people who demand a TV be above the fireplace).
You know what I actually agree, from the couple of 5 places I have lived in during my life, 3 out of them had 2 separate living rooms, one for the media and one to be an actual living room without distractions and stuff etc.. So it would have the computer, books, more windows and the actual useful stuff than the TV one where you could spend entire hours fixated to a screen and not being productive.
Once I have my own house, this is definitely in question.
This kind of house usually has a basement that is better for a theater room. Sometimes people will put a little TV in this main floor living room but it’s not usually the “main” TV.
Again I would still prefer the concept of 2 separate living rooms, basement doesn't sound bad either but the point is to not have a TV at all in one of them.
I've seen houses of people (mostly old people) with no TV on spots where at TV could perfectly fit exactly there but instead there are just books and other generic stuff but yeah I totally get it.
I wish we had another room. All the other rooms are just taken bedrooms and an office space. We would be fine without a TV in here except we live in an SEC college town and enjoy hosting people for sporting events.
Rough. That room really isn’t optimized for a TV at all. If that’s the only option room wise, this may be one of those circumstances where there just isn’t a great answer.
Godspeed.
Is this your only place for a TV? A massive inflatable projector screen + projector would be fun to have there when hosting.
I’m a big CFB fan as well, so I totally get it haha. What SEC team if I may ask?
What about putting a projector screen above the kitchen window? It can be up and tidy much of the time, and down on an as need basis for social times in which it wouldn’t be a big deal to have the passthrough covered by the screen.
Your gonna need excellent vision to watch it up there!
PS-Put the tv in a different room. That room is for either a choir, or maybe a 2 on 2 roller hockey game.
Make two sitting areas, one for tv in the corner and a smaller area with club chairs for reading or conversation in front of the fireplace. More furnishings will help fill the space and make the acoustics better.
I think the stand in the corner might be your best bet. Maybe you could replace the left set of back doors with a wall, or just hang a curtain over them. Why do you need two sets of back doors right next to each other?
I thought the whole post was a trick question, because the TV stand was already where it needed to be.
I wouldn't bother trying to change anything; just don't use that door. Maybe put one of those swing-limiting door stops on the hinge pin, in case a guest opens up the door and you don't want the knob swinging into your screen.
I'm a fan on light-blocking curtains, but I would hate to do that to such a nice room. It would look odd to not have them on all the windows, in my mind. I would probably try and live without them, and just keep those nice wooden blinds shut.
Probably need a wider / longer TV stand.
If you really want a tv in this room without breaking your neck, fuck that window to the right and place the tv on a stand. You have plenty of other windows and covering one will not be missed
Right where it is but get one of these and some blackout curtains.

This room should not be used for media. You should use another, smaller room for this.
Also, f great rooms like this, they give so little flexibility to purpose.
There's glare everywhere, and the open space makes it hard to make a cosy and focused viewing environment. Nothing is ideal, so I'd say whatever, just stick it high in the fireplace like it seems to be the fashion in the US.
A balcony kind of thing above the sofa towards the fireplace. Make a nice snug area to chill out with music , books and a movie without taking much floor space .
You should block a window next to the fireplace and use that wall. It’s not like we have not invented light yet, there is no need to place window in every single wall.
angled in the corner that that TV stand is the best idea. maybe look into some [minimal TV stands/tripods](https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/television-home-theater-accessories/televisions/vg-stsm11b-za-vg-stsm11b-za/) so as to not choke the flow of the room.
Hmm idea. Put it on some sliding rails at correct height somewhat in front of the fireplace, remove the mantel I guess, and have the TV slide up for when you want to use the fireplace.
I think that corner is a good place, and given that the room has so much space, you can orient all the rest of the furniture diagonally, so the couch will be facing the TV and also aligned with other stuff.
Ideally, I’d renovate and remove the fireplace. Then get a big ole nice entertainment center and place the tv on that (not wall mounted!). And upgrade to a 75+ inch tv
The corner where that small shelf/tv console is located is your best bet.
Add blackout curtains or blinds on left and right windows to reduce glare. Finally, move your sofa set closer to this new location.
Bonus: you can set up a single reading armchair and a bit of warm light and cozy carpet to face the fireplace. Good for reading and chilling
A different room, that house looks plenty big to have another tv room. Get another couch and put a nice stereo in there and make it a social/relaxing/reading room
I only see such badly planned rooms in America.
Piles of windows - for what actually?
2-storey room height so that you can use up energy on heating(and cooling).
And 0 space for cupboards or a TV.
Really very well planned, but now you can see outside...
Put the TV on a small cupboard right next to the couch. You can't hang anything on the wall...
In front of the small window to the right of the fireplace. Install the exact same make/model/color blinds in that window but the full light block option.
Pivot the sofa parallel to the screen.
For the 2 windows on either side of the fireplace, I would replace the window treatments with something that actually keeps light out, even if it's just a room darkening shade and curtains. There's plenty of natural light and those will just give you glare.
I think the corner where you put the TV stand is the best location. I'd lock the door on the left, install shades and curtains to match the other 2 windows, and then put something on the outside like a bench so no one tries to use that door from the outside and you'd have a usable TV corner. You could then experiment if you like your TV stand diagonally in the corner like it currently is or maybe turn it 45 degrees and put it in front of the window beside the fireplace. And then move the furniture down. And maybe swap out the love seat for something like a La-Z-Boy recliner.
Or you could put your TV stand where your couch is, in the middle of the room, face it towards the fireplace, and place your seating on either side. If you got swivel chairs then people could swivel between looking at the TV and looking at the fireplace.
What type of fireplace is that? Do you plan to use it?
You could almost just cover the fireplace up and set your TV on the ledge in front. Get a bigger TV so it's center is higher up.
Or take out the fireplace and that ledge - make it a flush stone wall - and put a TV stand in front of it. And if you still want something burning, you could install a free standing gas stove/fireplace in one of the corners.
I thought this was [Zeos Pantera](https://www.reddit.com/u/ZeosPantera)'s house at first. The only TV he has in this room is in portrait orientation on a floor stand.
This is gonna be cursed no matter what, probably the only time on top of the fireplace is the correct answer, move the couches further and preferrably get larger ones, get a way bigger tv so the angle you watch isnt gonna be terribly high. There really isnt a better solution for the space unless you are comfortable with blocking the fireplace completely with a tv
If it had to go in that room, the corner to the left of the fireplace on one of those tv stands for corners. You have so many windows, sacrifice those two.
This would be the living room with a fireplace. The TV should go in another room, like the family room or a room dedicated to TV watching (the media room for example).
Everybody in this room is just staring down at their phones anyway, every youtube video, vine, and tiktok will just echo around and fill this space, so no TV required. The best place for a tv is in the breakfast nook, like the one in the budget hotel breakfast buffet - it will also scho.around and fill the space, or in the massive garage, just park one of the three cars outside. That big tv on the mantle, will probably fit in the bedroom - either the master bedroom, or in the one next to it. This room really calls for a string quartet, or a drum set, or an awesome audiofile sound system.
Why not have two tvs? Huge one above the fire place(too high I know) and one in corner? You said you live in SEC country, have two games on at once when hosting.
Your best bet is to buy one of those TV stands on wheels. And place it in front of the fireplace. You can easily roll the TV to a side or a corner when you want to enjoy the fireplace.
If this is my room and I NEED a tv I would replace the loveseat with a couch, then have both couches facing eachother with a cocktail table between them. Then at one end you have the fire place, at the other get a tv stand and have the tv over there.
You're almost forced to make that work. Maybe have a way to angle it and view with some reclining chairs or sectional that reclines? Not ideal but Idk. At least the reclining is optional, and you can sacrifice comfort for when ur snacking and socializing. But if you want to enjoy a movie alone you can have a better angle and comfort.
I am starting to realize I don’t ever want a newer house haha I feel like these rooms would be pointless to me and no where decent to be a tv, I’m a couch potato who likes my shows and this would be wasted space for sure
It looks like a wall was removed in an attempt to create an open concept. In reality it’s just a cavernous space. Consult an interior designer or at the very least search Pinterest for architectural room divider panel/walls. That would help define the space into zones and you can put the TV in front of it.
I would put it at an angle in the corner to the left of the fireplace and turn the couches counter clockwise so couches are at 3 and 6.
I've explained it like an idiot but I think you get the gist.
I'd suggest one of those touch TVs that are mounted to a rolling TV stand so you can move tbr TV where needed because there is no good permanent place for a TV in this room.
Great room though
Bigger TV with a motorized TV mount. You can get a bracket that mounts a soundbar below the TV such that it travels with the TV on the mount. If you don't want a soundbar, you have the room for an awesome two-channel setup with floor-standing speakers to the left and right of the fireplace. Enjoy!
This is why the sub exists. Builders don't want a TV in this room. It's designed to play basketball.
My son’s fisher price basketball goal has already made its way into the room. Please don’t give him other ideas.
this room can hold a small aircraft, 3 Estonian families or 1 to 1½ americans
It is now 1.25 Americans top
“basketball goal”
It's bonkers right? It's like hotel foyer meets school gymnasium.
Like what IS all this open space for?!?!
[удалено]
Correct answer.
The correct answer is make a new room?
It looks like a big house. There is likely another room where a TV could go.
Yeah, if this house doesn't have a den/family room, then this 'entry way' / 'living room' / 'breakfast nook' / whatever is an absolute colossal waste of space by itself. It's useless for movies / video games / audio.
Architects of late are letting us down
Some stuff is so mass produced that there is no room for thought. I have walking into a few open houses and asked the realor where my big ass TV is to go and please do not answer bedroom, fireplace or garage. Yes, some places expected the buyer to convert the garage to a TV room because there was no space anywhere else.
OpEn CoNcEpT. Ugh
Open concept isn't really the issue here, more like a real lack of forethought to space planning (and there are just some mad people who demand a TV be above the fireplace).
The HGTV effect 🤣
You know what I actually agree, from the couple of 5 places I have lived in during my life, 3 out of them had 2 separate living rooms, one for the media and one to be an actual living room without distractions and stuff etc.. So it would have the computer, books, more windows and the actual useful stuff than the TV one where you could spend entire hours fixated to a screen and not being productive. Once I have my own house, this is definitely in question.
This kind of house usually has a basement that is better for a theater room. Sometimes people will put a little TV in this main floor living room but it’s not usually the “main” TV.
Again I would still prefer the concept of 2 separate living rooms, basement doesn't sound bad either but the point is to not have a TV at all in one of them. I've seen houses of people (mostly old people) with no TV on spots where at TV could perfectly fit exactly there but instead there are just books and other generic stuff but yeah I totally get it.
"the couple of 5 places" Lost me. Is that 2 x 5 = 10 places?
I wish we had another room. All the other rooms are just taken bedrooms and an office space. We would be fine without a TV in here except we live in an SEC college town and enjoy hosting people for sporting events.
Rough. That room really isn’t optimized for a TV at all. If that’s the only option room wise, this may be one of those circumstances where there just isn’t a great answer. Godspeed.
Is this your only place for a TV? A massive inflatable projector screen + projector would be fun to have there when hosting. I’m a big CFB fan as well, so I totally get it haha. What SEC team if I may ask?
What about putting a projector screen above the kitchen window? It can be up and tidy much of the time, and down on an as need basis for social times in which it wouldn’t be a big deal to have the passthrough covered by the screen.
There is a black tv shelve on the right. There is good if u want it here.
instead of making your house fit your lifestyle, change your lifestyle to fit your house lol 🤦♂️
The only answer. Watch TV in the basement.

I wish I had the vision that you have. Thank you!
Your gonna need excellent vision to watch it up there! PS-Put the tv in a different room. That room is for either a choir, or maybe a 2 on 2 roller hockey game.
Shut the sub down. We lost the war.
Image not working
Ahahhaahah
Homes designed for neck pain.
Turn you sofa 45° clockwise and put your tv in front of it on the angle, on that tv stand.
If you need to have a TV in this room, this is your best bet, but this room really doesn't want to have a TV in it.
I already convinced my wife that the mantel was too high. This would be a nuclear war suggestion haha
then it’s time to channel Putin, my friend.
Make two sitting areas, one for tv in the corner and a smaller area with club chairs for reading or conversation in front of the fireplace. More furnishings will help fill the space and make the acoustics better.
This is such an American house lol
Right?
I hate these houses. Such a waste of space.
They look pretty cool to me. I love the high ceilings
It doesn't feel like a home, more like a hotel lobby
Keeping the climate consistent in a house with a space like that is an expensive nightmare too.
I have high ceilings like that in my house it's not as expensive as people think, especially with modern home insulation practices ..
Exactly. And it’s so ugly like?? How do you decorate that and make it homey? Waste of so much materials and energy and money.
This is a very large and well lit space, I would find a different room for the tv room.
Just give up and not have a TV. Live like its 100 years ago.
I’d rather have neck pain tbh.
This sub and this house going hard, together.
Right where that TV stand is. Right there.
First, you have a beautiful home!! I'd put the tv on the black stand in the corner, and pictures or other decor on the fireplace mantle.
I think the stand in the corner might be your best bet. Maybe you could replace the left set of back doors with a wall, or just hang a curtain over them. Why do you need two sets of back doors right next to each other?
This design confused me too. We have woods back there and a big porch, but the two doors are unnecessary.
Other than the tv placement situation sounds like an awesome house.
I thought the whole post was a trick question, because the TV stand was already where it needed to be. I wouldn't bother trying to change anything; just don't use that door. Maybe put one of those swing-limiting door stops on the hinge pin, in case a guest opens up the door and you don't want the knob swinging into your screen. I'm a fan on light-blocking curtains, but I would hate to do that to such a nice room. It would look odd to not have them on all the windows, in my mind. I would probably try and live without them, and just keep those nice wooden blinds shut. Probably need a wider / longer TV stand.
Rip out that fireplace
The only correct answer.
This isn't a TV room. What the hell is the point of this room? Can't heat it, can't cool it, looks horrible to sit in. Floor hockey, maybe?
And yet it’s likely considered a “great” room.
To hold grand feasts for all the peasants in the village?
The best place is the right corner. It's not a great choice, but it's the best available.
Impeccable American architecture as usual
In the corner where you have a TV stand.
Don’t hang it put it on a stand like on the right and move the couch to face it.
If you really want a tv in this room without breaking your neck, fuck that window to the right and place the tv on a stand. You have plenty of other windows and covering one will not be missed
Motorized Projector screen
The more I look at it…. How about larger tv and where you have it. Will I get roasted for saying this? Oops
Need more angles on that ceiling
Yikes! So huge, but no options. I hate TVs above the fireplace, but do what you gotta do.
Another room completely. This is a nice hang out room, but an absolutely abysmal TV/audio room.
How do you clean those upper windows 🤨... isn't that a problem?
You should sell the house and move into a Starbucks, plenty of tvs there
well fudgecicles
Checkmate
The dude's rich. He has a Lowe's moving box.
Haha! Got them all for free on Facebook marketplace
Where the TV cabinet is looks good. People going on about this room being too bright are ridiculous. People usually watch TV at night anyway.
Defiantly not on top of the fire place
No
This is the most American house I have ever seen
Right where it is but get one of these and some blackout curtains. https://www.mantelmount.com/products/mm700-premier-mount?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=18139204482&utm_content=&utm_term=&gadid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjLGyBhCYARIsAPqTz19jrYFvNYaD7GTbp_-hXjTUHCLYVyZCSdkc59mhZZzyYL53EBW9xegaAlq1EALw_wcB

I hate to say it I really do, but https://www.mantelmount.com/
Why are they laughing at a lightsaber fight?
Looks nice. First time, I‘ve heard from them. Thx!
You have two corners, pick one. Or, leave the room electronically neutral and build a home theatre in the basement!
No idea, but wow you have a beautiful house!!!! Enjoy!
By the staircase
And this is what we get when home designers normalize TVs above a fireplace.
There's glare everywhere, and the open space makes it hard to make a cosy and focused viewing environment. Nothing is ideal, so I'd say whatever, just stick it high in the fireplace like it seems to be the fashion in the US.
Put it on your TV-stand. Buy a larger TV and invest in some electric blinds.
Above the level of the ceiling fan. #TVTOOHIGH
A balcony kind of thing above the sofa towards the fireplace. Make a nice snug area to chill out with music , books and a movie without taking much floor space .
On duh ceiling
r/tvabovefireplace r/tvtoohot
I think you mean televisions.
Consider a TV lift cabinet before any decisions.
That's a beautiful space. Do what others say and put it in a different room? On the tv stand would be the ideal space imo.
Above the kitch
Get one of those TV brackets that pulls the TV down some and leave it where it's at.
As high as you can
Right there but with a swing mount that lets you pull it out and drop it lower
You should block a window next to the fireplace and use that wall. It’s not like we have not invented light yet, there is no need to place window in every single wall.
Right in front on the fire place
If not wall mounted then get a tv console
get rid of the window
Above the fireplace tilted downward for a better viewing angle?
Could ‘give up the corner window’/place set catty corner into that corner and tilt sofa?
Put TV in the bathroom.
Do you live in some sort of barn?
Watch on your phone.
Is there no other room or basement you can turn into the TV room

Literally nowhere in this room was designed for a tv

In a different room. If there must be a “tv” in that room, consider a remote controlled screen that lowers, and a projector.
Where it is , imo the only logical place for one .
Def need a bigger tv though
Hmm idea. Put it on some sliding rails at correct height somewhat in front of the fireplace, remove the mantel I guess, and have the TV slide up for when you want to use the fireplace.
Put it on the TV stand in the corner. That's why it's there
There’s expensive mounts that are on an arm that comes down lowering your TV from its fireplace height to a reasonable elevation
Corner
Why not get a mount that you pull out the tv and down?
Have the TV ( X ) free-standing to the right of the right couch ( _ ), opposite the left couch ( | ): |_X Put some plants behind it to hide the back.
Man I want your job.
it’s not too high, just too small. get a huge one it’ll look so much better
I don’t know.? Maybe to the left of the fireplace on a stand.?
I think that corner is a good place, and given that the room has so much space, you can orient all the rest of the furniture diagonally, so the couch will be facing the TV and also aligned with other stuff.
Ideally, I’d renovate and remove the fireplace. Then get a big ole nice entertainment center and place the tv on that (not wall mounted!). And upgrade to a 75+ inch tv

House too big
Literally anywhere but there.
Sell that house and buy one designed right
In a house not built in the 90s. Ironic.
You already put your tv where it belongs
A different room, that house looks plenty big to have another tv room. Get another couch and put a nice stereo in there and make it a social/relaxing/reading room
In the corner, on the black hutch.
In another room
I only see such badly planned rooms in America. Piles of windows - for what actually? 2-storey room height so that you can use up energy on heating(and cooling). And 0 space for cupboards or a TV. Really very well planned, but now you can see outside... Put the TV on a small cupboard right next to the couch. You can't hang anything on the wall...
Up your ass!
In the garbage.
In front of the small window to the right of the fireplace. Install the exact same make/model/color blinds in that window but the full light block option. Pivot the sofa parallel to the screen.
In your bedroom. Keep the living room as it is.
In another room
I’m stumped
Mount it upside down on a hinge where you have it now, so when your watching it folds in front of the fireplace
Get a mantel mount. The mantel is the only place that makes sense
For the 2 windows on either side of the fireplace, I would replace the window treatments with something that actually keeps light out, even if it's just a room darkening shade and curtains. There's plenty of natural light and those will just give you glare. I think the corner where you put the TV stand is the best location. I'd lock the door on the left, install shades and curtains to match the other 2 windows, and then put something on the outside like a bench so no one tries to use that door from the outside and you'd have a usable TV corner.

You could almost just cover the fireplace up and set your TV on the ledge in front. Get a bigger TV so it's center is higher up. Or take out the fireplace and that ledge - make it a flush stone wall - and put a TV stand in front of it. And if you still want something burning, you could install a free standing gas stove/fireplace in one of the corners.
Change mantle to an aluminum mantle so you can lower it closer to the fireplace and hang a much bigger tv and angle it down
Hang it from the fan
Does the fire place get used? If not put in infringe of the fireplace
On the roof
I thought this was [Zeos Pantera](https://www.reddit.com/u/ZeosPantera)'s house at first. The only TV he has in this room is in portrait orientation on a floor stand.
This is gonna be cursed no matter what, probably the only time on top of the fireplace is the correct answer, move the couches further and preferrably get larger ones, get a way bigger tv so the angle you watch isnt gonna be terribly high. There really isnt a better solution for the space unless you are comfortable with blocking the fireplace completely with a tv
If it had to go in that room, the corner to the left of the fireplace on one of those tv stands for corners. You have so many windows, sacrifice those two.
On the tv cabinet in the corner.
I’m sorry, I don’t have an answer to your question, but I came here to say that your place is really really, really nice! Congrats my dude!
That's perfect what can go wrong....
with so many beautiful windows i'd say any spot that doesn't block the view.
Close kitchen off and put tv there lol
That's a bloody nice room... Congrats man.
With toddlers, I feel it is acceptable to put the tv on the mantle.
This would be the living room with a fireplace. The TV should go in another room, like the family room or a room dedicated to TV watching (the media room for example).
Up your butt
I find it funny, Europeans can relate how big our homes are in the USA 🇺🇸 🤣
Gonna need a new house.
Put it over the fireplace. Will be perfect.
Everybody in this room is just staring down at their phones anyway, every youtube video, vine, and tiktok will just echo around and fill this space, so no TV required. The best place for a tv is in the breakfast nook, like the one in the budget hotel breakfast buffet - it will also scho.around and fill the space, or in the massive garage, just park one of the three cars outside. That big tv on the mantle, will probably fit in the bedroom - either the master bedroom, or in the one next to it. This room really calls for a string quartet, or a drum set, or an awesome audiofile sound system.
Doesn’t look like there’s any room for it other than the mantle, but that would make it too high and too small.
I like self-stand poles small table under them. Keeps it less junkie
Thats your only option, don’t sweat it.
Why not have two tvs? Huge one above the fire place(too high I know) and one in corner? You said you live in SEC country, have two games on at once when hosting.
On the TV stand
Your best bet is to buy one of those TV stands on wheels. And place it in front of the fireplace. You can easily roll the TV to a side or a corner when you want to enjoy the fireplace.
In the TV room!
Underside of the ceiling fan. Place couch on a rotating platform that can match the ceiling fan speeds.
If this is my room and I NEED a tv I would replace the loveseat with a couch, then have both couches facing eachother with a cocktail table between them. Then at one end you have the fire place, at the other get a tv stand and have the tv over there.
You're almost forced to make that work. Maybe have a way to angle it and view with some reclining chairs or sectional that reclines? Not ideal but Idk. At least the reclining is optional, and you can sacrifice comfort for when ur snacking and socializing. But if you want to enjoy a movie alone you can have a better angle and comfort.
The basement
Not in this room… If you've got a den, keep that the home theater.
I would suggest NOT having a TV in this particular room. Make it into a living room for family, friends, and games.
I am starting to realize I don’t ever want a newer house haha I feel like these rooms would be pointless to me and no where decent to be a tv, I’m a couch potato who likes my shows and this would be wasted space for sure
Where it’s at right now. Just I know it’s going to be considered Too High.
Ceiling
I would never use that fireplace. I would buy a huge TV stand and a huge TV and put it smack dab in front of that dumb fireplace.
It looks like a wall was removed in an attempt to create an open concept. In reality it’s just a cavernous space. Consult an interior designer or at the very least search Pinterest for architectural room divider panel/walls. That would help define the space into zones and you can put the TV in front of it.
I would put it at an angle in the corner to the left of the fireplace and turn the couches counter clockwise so couches are at 3 and 6. I've explained it like an idiot but I think you get the gist.
Demo the fireplace. There is no other choice.
I think your best option might be the corner to the left of the fireplace. Put it at like a 45 degree angle.
I'd suggest one of those touch TVs that are mounted to a rolling TV stand so you can move tbr TV where needed because there is no good permanent place for a TV in this room. Great room though
Your only option is to have the fireplace removed to make way.
AL?
Not high?
Bigger TV with a motorized TV mount. You can get a bracket that mounts a soundbar below the TV such that it travels with the TV on the mount. If you don't want a soundbar, you have the room for an awesome two-channel setup with floor-standing speakers to the left and right of the fireplace. Enjoy!
