Freshome readers tell us your experience with You decide and make your television a welcomed addition to your home. Placing a flat screen television above a fireplace or on an accent wall will give visual interest that may need additional décor. Often time’s people buy too large of a television for the space, and viewers can get headaches, and the picture will also appear pixilated if the viewing distance isn’t enough. Remember, the smaller the room, the smaller television that is needed.
Before you buy your television take these tips into consideration. Your flat screen television can be a welcomed addition if you can determine how to decorate around it.
For visual interest for wall mounted televisions add wainscoting or build decorative architectural niches into the wall. Whichever you design preference, try to let the television compliment the space, or be left on its own. For shorter ceilings, but longer walls, consider putting small collections of artwork, paintings, photographs etc… to the side(s) of your television. Artwork that has physical content will cause television viewers to concentrate on the artwork.
Consider making the artwork simple, and more abstract. Hanging artwork: If you have high ceilings, artwork placed above the line of television sight viewing is a good idea.
While smaller, narrower spaces will benefit from the lower console. For larger rooms that have a long viewing range, a wall application will work better. While if you decide to mount it on the wall, the television can compete with artwork – which can be distracting. For those that want it stand mounted on a low console, you will be able to optimize more of the wall behind it for artwork.
Viewing height: Depending on the height you choose to view your television will dictate how to add artwork or decorative items around it.
Read on to see how you can keep that television and make the rest of your room look beautiful around your new addition to the family. These are all common decorating dilemmas when you acquire a flat screen television. The furniture no longer faces the right direction, the wall art is being blocked, and the armoire you’ve placed the television in is too big.
Although, you seem to be having a small problem, everything around the television seems not to work. You and your living room are happier because you have just acquired a flat screen television.
You will easily see what is obstructing the view and space. Another trick is to stand at the television and look back at the room. Stand back in all angles of the room and assess what furniture is too tall and plan for space around it. The challenge is that you can’t have obstacles that are within the line of sight of the television.
This same advantage is its disadvantage when it comes to placing furniture in the room. Plan for space: One of the beautiful advantages to having a flat screen television is the ability to view it from many angles of the room.
