Try and avoid through traffic past tv. But consider what you want to see from the seating positions, not just the tv

I’d have the tv unit and tv on the long wall and the couch sitting in front of the doors or the windows (not sure if you have one or two) big maybe two smaller couches would look roomier than one large one?

I like to be able to look out the window into the garden when I’m on my lounge (whether the TV is on or off) so I’d say stick the TV unit in the corner and the lounge against the wall.

If possible I would take the doors off the wardrobe so they match the shelving on the other side of the room. The television, entertainment unit (I am assuming a floor one, not a high one) in between them, and the lounge facing in that direction. I say this because it seems you get lots of sun into the room from both back and side windows. It would be nice to sit on a lounge at the sunny end of the room in winter, and the lounge could be brought forward in summer so you don't roast. You could place a lounge and two single armchairs in an U shape so that if you particularly wanted to look out into the garden you could use the single armchairs for that, and still be able to watch the television. Just a thought, but as mentioned it will depend on where your power points are. Hope this was helpful to you.

I agree with the others, that if you placed the TV on the long wall you would experience glare on the screen and would need thick curtains to block out the sun at certain times of the day/year. However if you placed the TV on the wall near the bookcase and cupboard there would not be a glare problem. It looks like you have all the power points necessary already on that wall. I believe the cheapest and easiest way to fix the problem would be if you were to simply remove the doors on the cupboard (as you suggested) have it matched up with the bookcase on the other side and paint the wall.

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments, seems removing the cupboard doors is the only option, the only issue is, the other door , the door on the cupboard left hand side , which will be open/block the bookcase once is completed.

I personally think that will be a small price to pay to have the room symetrical and functual. Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous comment is that you will always see when some-one enters the room if you choose the layout everyone suggested. My niece has her entrance door behind the lounge and everyone is forever turning around to see who is entering the room. In winter I imagine you would have it shut anyway, so it may only be a bug in your ear in summer time. :)

Thanks a lot , also we think to add a gas fireplace underneath of the tv, perhaps recess the tv on the wall, will cost more but I think it’s an add value to the house, as well as the fireplace function and looks

Why is everyone worried about the glare, no one watches Tv all day long and you can install sun screen blind that cuts out sun and heat and allows you to see outside.

Yes, that is true, unless you have small children or teenagers at home. We made the mistake of doing this in our unit which gets full sun in the afternoons. I put full block out blinds on those windows, but it shuts out the view, which is spectacular on that side of the unit. When we replace them I will replace them with vertical blinds, (a cheaper option for us) or the black ones that block out the heat but you can still see through them.

Regarding the installation of a gas fire under the TV on the end wall, I would suggest placing the gas fire on the long, blank wall so the heat will be more evenly distributed around the room, as well as being a focal point in the living room.

Thank you that exactly what we were thinking last night! still the other wall to install the tv and place for AV system and kids xbox..etc is a mind boggling

Get yourself a couple of comfy swivel chairs for playing the x-box and enjoying the fireplace while keeping that end of the room open/accessible. If budget is tight, I would make the installation of TV nook/gas fireplace/gas line top priority over converting the cupboard to recessed shelves to balance that end of the room (I've just done it myself and it's not a cheap exercise). Paint the back of the shelves a dark colour and keep shelving a light colour - it looks great - and paint the fence in Dulux Domino or similar while the paint brush is out. Enjoy!

Hi there Siavash, please let me know if you would like I to talk through the Design Process Outline I left with you. Having seen your space first hand I have some great ideas! All the best Sally

I would have a couch in front of the windows and another couch opposite with a nice big cosy rug and coffee table, put the tv and fire on the big wall between the couches (facing toward the doors), and do something else with the other end of the room, perhaps shelving at the end with a big comfy armchair as a library/reading space. I think if you put the tv at that end it looks like it would be too far away from the couches, plus you have the awkward door and walk through area.

If your making a tv room any room is good but you need to make sure it will be dark and not get a lot of light. A dark blue wall would be cute a movie time vibes

Maybe have a sliding Barn door to replace the other door opening into the space.

You also have to consider the placement of the speakers not just the screen.

Tele on a pivot shelf in corner between two sets of windows. When tele not in use seating would be used for looking out the windows.

HU-624382943's comment about speaker placement is important. As far as quality listening goes (whether you like listening to music seriously or want to enjoy fantastic sound when watching movies, you want the speakers on the narrow wall (pointing towards the set of paned windows), not on a long wall. The challenge, of course, will be to get them sufficiently spaced, since you have the bookcase on the right and the cupboard (with or without doors) on the left, as well as the door to the room itself. (That door looks uncomfortably close to the cupboard doors, incidentally.) Unless you choose to suspend your directional speakers from the ceiling – which could be an option – you'll probably be limited to the width of that central section of wall, i.e. immediately to each side of the TV.

Can I ask what you ended up doing?

We have had

It would all seem to depend on priorities, is the TV the most important focus in the room or is the view or the fireplace? Maybe being in the company of friends is the most important purpose for the room in which case it would be preferable not to have a blank TV screen intruding into the conversation. Above the fireplace if you must but have it as a framed picture when you're not watching.

So James, what did you do? Can we see some photos of your finished project? Thanks.

I'd have the TV in the corner between the 2 walls of windows/doors, the lounge against the wall opposite the black framed windows and 2 chairs to the left of the lounge (if looking out to the black framed windows) with space between, making like a walkway/entry from the door and along where the bookcase is behind the 2 chairs.

Hi,it would be great to see your final plan.

any hi fi freak will tell you that you should never place your speakers against a wall but move them out 4-500mm....for a better all room sound
