@Barbara Hi Barbara! Hope you're well! I"d never spend long enough in the bath to need a TV, lol. A book if necessary, but I don't really spend that long either - I get prune-y too fast! I have one in the kitchen on a buffet that gets covered in an artwork when not in use - I just lean it up against it I have one in the bedroom because of different things wanting to be watched by hubby and myself, and also for my health condition, which gets me often, and I have to essentially live in the bedroom - Tv, Playstation, multi region player, all present and correct, lol. We bought an old wooden book lectern with a 'through' shelf space under the flat top, which is on wheels, that houses all that. It's nice to be able to change the angle if I need to be on one side or the other when in bed. People live in so many different ways now - There really aren't any rules, per se as to how you arrange things. Mind you, I'd never put it where it could fall INTO the bath in an earthquake or roof damage scenario... just as i'd never put a light over the bath for the same reason.

@ dorothyoliphant..wish you luck! I commiserate with your wanting the tangled cables out of sight. Cables are my nightmare, really! I am an amateur publishing buff with several printers, scanner, other devices. Needed a corner table for all the stuff...and all with cables tied together in a haphazard manner running down the back of the desk to a power board on the floor....all hidden behind a ply screen across the corner underneath the desk. Seems tidy, keeps the cat out of it, but difficulr to access and to keep clean. How do other people solve the office desk cable problem? I've seen busy publishing offices using many devices, all the cables hanging down the backs of desks...but nobody seems to be bothered, (suppose because its somebody else's problem, not in the employees own homes.) For the TV cables. an "out of sight" decorative solution works because the cables are accessible if needs be,, but the electrical cable tangle problem hidden under my desk collecting dust on the floor is an issue for me..... ..what if I spill a drink.... or something? The TV and the cat I bred siamese cats time ago. The magnificent stud was very posessive, jealouse of my attentions being anywhere else than on him. I'd purchased a really dinky little table top TV, company for the times spent tending to my prize felines in their courtyard/ outdoor enclosure. Suddenly the TV succumbed to vertical collapse. What had caused the problem? The technician grinned saying : " Its a wonder your fancy cat still has his equipment!" No jealous stud cat these days but one never knows what could happen to cables on the floor even if neatly hidden. @ wuff.. Re the 'adhesive cord tidy' with the click-on front from Bunnings that you mention... Will it stick to any surface? My walls are timber. Does it come in wider-deeper sizes...my cables are many. I'm in the country, Bunnings is 65k away. I'd need to phone them so need to know how to explain what I need. Would appreciate any further detail you could give. Thanks.. Does anyone else know of a safe, easily accessible solution for a multi cable problem? Something up off the floor, secured behind a fixture on the wall? I'm all out of original ideas on this. Thanks in advance for any solutions! Thanks dorothyoliphant for your original post about TV cables...led me toaddressing my own cable problem that I'd been trying to dismiss.

Lisa, you could have flat front cupboard doors or drawers at bottom of unit, and either full width shelves w/o middle divider (for TV etc) and some with middle divider for ornaments. I wouldn't off-set or stagger the shelves so you have a uniform look on both sides (with exception of where TV will sit). Having said that, you could also have shelves mirror each other exactly, then if you ever want to change position of TV (or the person who might live there in future), it is easily done. I would go for a simple design without embellishment except perhaps in the door hardware.

The simple whites are what I like, the lounge welcomes you to get comfortable and spend time and lose all the distractions, giving you a chance to refresh and refocus. The TV art on the wall is the highlight and draws your attention, and hides its personalities. Is it a TV at all?, Overall I chose number 9 for its simplicity and comforting feel with no clutter and with one piece to comfort the body and one piece to stimulate the mind.
