Need opinions and advice on fireplace/TV/living room layout
Comments (8)i'd like some feedback on the two windows, as I am currently looking at the same thing without windows. Why r they there given the expanse of glass on other wall. My mum had two narrow vertical windows either side and as they were un curtained they look like black rectangles at night which I found spooky. They didn't let in much light because of trees outside, but I guess if u had a skyline view say they may be useful. They also compromised positioning of artwork....See MoreTV Placement Dilemma
Comments (14)@ann It would be very similar to the one in the picture, with an overall height of 150cm. Cladding is definitely something I considered, maybe white stacked stones or similar. Floors will be dark wood look tiles. @sirius In principle that would work well, but I think the furniture might not fit in that configuration and if they would fit, it would be at a push and block off the walkway to the alfresco....See MoreTV’s and Fireplaces, do they mix?
Comments (5)I'm not sure if that is your house , or just an example ? In that picture , I'd get a bigger TV ( because why not ) and mount it further along the wall , and spin the L shaped couch around so that it sits in that corner , the fire is near , the TV can still be seen from the couch . And depending what the climate is like where you are , and if you have other heating , such as heat pumps etc , you might only use the fire 3 or 4 months a year , plus the occassional night when you have visitors and want to project a warmth haha -- rest of the time make your family go cold , or use a $20 fan heater haha ....See MoreCorner TV dilemma
Comments (6)The wall to the right looks like theres nothing along there -- would it be too much of an angle to have it flat ( or flattish -- have the left end of the TV maybe 150mm out from that wall ? As spmm and siriuskey say , a swivelling type mount would be reasonably professional too . A builder or handyman may even be able to cut a couple of wooden blocks to suit the angles and where the mounting points are on the back of your TV , but then you need to know where the studs are . Failing all that -- that TV looks around 50 inch -- have a measure , a 42inch or even 40 may be a better fit if it absolutely has to go flat on that wall ( when measuring , remember TVs are measured diagonally , but don't forget frames around the side too ) . Whatever you do , that current setup looks too much like it could get knocked off accidentally -- I personally wouldn't have a TV on a cabinet near a door or similar -- wall mounting is definitely my preference ....See MoreSara Graham
