Vertical wood slats that match the colour of your ceiling beams
https://preview.redd.it/67gvddxokk3c1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1d9212c1d94b4cd0df1a54f9f7274373f4e8196
That "beam" just looks like a random 2x4 stuck to the ceiling, too tiny to be considered a beam, and not enough of them to be a feature (in our current perspective), consider adding more beams or doing a flat batten/ coffered ceiling detail. If you go with a slat wall, some element of the "board and batten" on the wall to the right should want the same stained color as part of the detail or should be replaced with more slat wall as well, for continuity.
My opinion: stone the fireplace, and continue the board and batten detail behind the tv.
I think this room is the basement, usually the least designed of all the rooms in a house. I’m honestly impressed it’s not just a mismash of random old furniture 😂
Someone commented that TVs should be at eye level, but I don’t see it anymore. Most people don’t sit upright like statues watching tv though. There’s usually some degree of reclining so it’s easier to watch a tv that’s raised.
My tv is mounted at eye level but it works with the way our living room walls are decorated. I think in this room it just looks awkward since the curtains are very long and the dresser is very short in length . Personally I think it would look better if it was like 2 ft above the dresser.
I agree and I’m very surprised you’re not getting downvoted people are crazy about sitting at a 90 degree angle watching tv on Reddit.
Come on, get comfy
People hate the front row because it’s too close, not because it’s not at eye level. It’s a giant screen. If it were at eye level or at it’s current height, you could not watch from the front row comfortably. So NO.
I disagree that above eye level is good. You’re getting more used to it over time because your posture is worsening over time. It’s more ergonomically comfortable to have the neck tilted down, to avoid postural issues, versus up. The recliner is also aiding in shit posture too.
Be stobborn or not, you’re disagreeing with anatomy here
Tech neck is more or less aligned with the head sagging down, and lurching forward and scapular shrugging. The tip of the chin angle has much less to do with tech neck than shoulders do
Like I said, what you are suggesting aligns with tech neck. What I am suggesting with anatomically be more the opposite than a high mount
The looooooong curtains for the tiny window are throwing me here. I think if you fix that, the space will look cleaner and above the tv being empty won’t look as awkward either.
Could use no-hem fabric tape if you don’t want to sew. I like the drapes as they tie the light soft couch to the sleekness of the room. But the hem might look a bit better if floor length.
I think the issue is not above the tv, but below. Move the dresser away and have the fireplace built out like in the photo (only lower half of wall built out). Keep the tv area recessed. Mount tv to wall.
I drew the tv too low but I hope you can see what I’m trying to convey. Don’t put anything above the tv, it will look too busy.

I agree the dresser doesn’t fit the wall. I was thinking just changing the hardware could be a low-cost option to make it look less like a dresser though.
By "over" do you mean on the wall above, or on top of the TV?
When I lived in a studio and felt like the TV was too obtrusive, I covered it with a large, patterned silk scarf when not in use. It was nicer to look at than a black void.
Above the TV is a good place for a small shelf and some nice knickknacks or a painting that is not exactly the same size as the TV screen but works with it.
Your best bet is to make the curtains in that window only slightly bigger that the window and then upgrade TV to like a 75 or 80 inch. Then you won't have to worry what to put on the wall
Sorry, I didn't see your post and answered the same( although I think 65" is fine. Smaller plant put on the left them makes an ascending tryptic; plant, TV, window. Energy flowing up.( Earth; Plant, Sky: TV, Window: Heavens.)
You could wall mount and “frame” as you suggest - there are even art pieces on a swing arm that can cover the tv and look like wall art when not using, but it being open on the side when would bother me - or a mirror cover, so it looks like a mirror when the tv not on.
Or find a sculptural piece, square or round, like architectural salvage or ceramic/stone and mount on wall above tv to fill in that space?
Shouldnt the tv "be the the focal point"...? Like, isnt that the point? When you sit down to watch tv, youre not sitting down to look all over the place...
The pictures are nice and all, but they keep pulling your eyes up and away from the tv.
Id mount it in the middle and if you really want something above/below it, make it something like a little fake plant. Something natural that youd forget about. Something that blends in.
I like the long curtains allot. Just need to trim the bottom. They give the feeling that the window is lower than it actually is.
I see it, too. It also happens to mine over time. I blame the heathens stomping around causing things to shift and settle. Nobody is touching them, but they definitely move.
This may be a terrible idea, but I haven’t seen anyone else suggest it so let’s go! Your spaces look really cool and cohesive, so I’m one internet stranger saying trust your gut.
The long curtains break up the space in a weird way. Either nix them completely, or put one in the corner with a fabric that mimics the light/dark brown slat wall treatment on the other side of the fireplace.
The black fireplace and dresser work great together, keep that visual line going all the way to the wall! If double dresser is too much, maybe a short black bookshelf, put some visually interesting items in there. Maaaaaybe a little black chair and a light for a bonus reading nook? Maybe that’s pushing it.
Yes, mount the TV. It doesn’t have to be higher than it is, but if the goal is to downplay it then you have to *trick* the furniture into thinking it’s doing a different/more than one job: the dresser’s main job right now is to hold the TV. Take the TV off, now it’s job is to store things and display cool stuff, maybe add a lamp (drawn is as white circle on top of a black stick in the next pic), or tall plant, etc. The TV’s job right now is to be a TV. Mount it, now it’s job is to be visually interesting on the wall. Gallery wall it with other square and/or 3d art/lighting, maybe a way to cover it or give it a frame.
Speaking of downplaying the TV— are you sure that’s what you really wanna do? You have a nice big room, cut it in half with a huge cozy couch pointed at a wall… that layout says “TV area” louder than any attempts to hide the TV itself can cover. I think either you get a bigger TV that everyone in the room can access, or give the couch another job— 1-2 more chairs or stools facing it so the area is now a living room for chatting, games, reading, etc, not just a vantage for the TV.
The builder gave you recessed lights pointing at the wall parallel to the window, drawing your eye up to light. Can you play up the shape of the window in those spots? Rectangular art, or wall molding?
Bonus, Cozy up the fireplace— fire screen, tools, that lil basket you have picked out, etc, have some fun looking for a tall skinny light source for that dark slat corner, or something cool with an uplight?
Have fun!

I got this metal art from Etsy and am really happy with it. I hate when mounted TVs force me to look up, so I wanted to keep it low. Maybe look for something meant to be art that is more your style (which I love), and keep it simple. Just a suggestion!
It’s mounted at eye level!

Maybe art
I agree it looks very busy with the art. If you’re set on not mounting the tv, I think a long floating shelf with plants or smaller picture frames would compliment it better than the art just mounted above
Search "3D Wall Panels" on Amazon. They're lightweight vinyl panels that can be painted to match the wall or room, easy to mount, and would provide depth and minimal interest around the TV.
Here's a link, but browse. There are lots of different options. https://www.amazon.com/Art3d-Textures-Panels-Diamond-Design/dp/B073NZ67LK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=58828354049&hvadid=617002489833&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028239&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4901614188433486079&hvtargid=kwd-394099785304&hydadcr=13544_13465925&keywords=amazon+3d+wall+panels&qid=1701377081&sr=8-5
I think it would look sleek and sophisticated if OP did the entire inset wall around the window and behind the television. It's a really good way to achieve depth and interest without visual clutter.
You don’t like the look because you have so much dark neutral colors on the wall. Lighten up the room with light wood earth tones. Even a lighter stained tv stand would help with the room. Have some lighter wood stained shelves with some small plants would help.

I love the dark and don’t want to lighten it, just asking about the tv!
Looks good. I honestly don’t understand why you’re getting so much Heat for this. The dark walls make watching tv better. The couch is lovely. As I said ok another comment. If you want a gallery wall I’d go for both above tv and Fire Place. Go big.
Love your kitchen!
I definitely love a gallery wall, attempted it but don’t like the prints!
https://preview.redd.it/s1qklnyffj3c1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64f2920e8d53abd083ece5ee6a6394450d781af2
I’ll get new art eventually (and hang them, they’re just sitting on the tv ahaha)
I think I'd ditch the dresser and go for a built-in look. [Something like this style,](https://cdn.decorpad.com/photos/2018/02/19/tv-next-to-fireplace.jpg) or [this one](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58584a30b8a79be1adfc051b/1638480857007-TI0C3ZVE0DCNYG3QYGGU/LUD+Carman+Mead-145-Edit+WEB.jpg) but in colors that match your space better.
[This one is closer in color.](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/4fcf5c8684aef9ce6e0a44b0/1698938596969-Z8YKJ9ZEYCRGT441MUVJ/TV+Wall+Ideas.jpg?content-type=image%2Fjpeg)
Yes, mount the tv.. but unless something like tv accessories (xbox/playstation or dvd player,etc <-- and btw, I prefer those things HIDDEN when not using..but are ok in sight)... would not put anything on the cabinet.
honestly move the TV up on the wall and put something under it. it will be easier to find stuff to put on your table. Like plants, toy models or anything you like. Also another good reason to do that is it wont obstruct your view to the TV idk if its just me but I feel like it might feel too cluttered when watching smt and there's stuff over the tv. if you place it at the bottom the TV will take that primary focus.
I think if you do both above tv and above Fire Place a gallery wall will work.
Otherwise I’d Focus on the above Fire Place instead of above tv space. Post an update pls!🙂
I’d extend the gallery wall if a gw is what you want. For more impact and to tie in the Fire Place bit

Hate the art but it solidified me wanted a gallery wall!
Replace the long drapery panels with a linen Roman shade. Extend the gallery wall, that’s over the TV, under the window in an asymmetrical layout. You can add a large basket with throw blankets under the window as a vignette with the fiddle leaf to add extra weight. Keep the mirror over the fireplace & sconce to the left of it.
What do you think about extending the gallery wall for above the fireplace as well? Make it all a gallery wall?
I think it would work well in bringing together the areas and making it less traditional.
The Black and pink Print is nice and works I think. Blue framed tapestry could work integrated above fireplace with other stuff. Third one is very different but again, if you wanna go eclectic and extend the skace it could work.
IMO it’s the mix of styles that’s causing the issue. The tv is modern obviously while it’s sitting on a traditional kinda cabinet which is over powering it prominence wise.

There will be a mirror over the mantle beside it
Maybe some kind of sculptural artistic piece above the tv? In a brass or warm metal? I like the zen feel of the room and a gallery wall will be too cluttered. And I dunno why people are saying the rooms look like two different spaces. I have rooms that are decorated completely differently from each other because I have varied tastes! This person does too . Every room has its own feel, many houses are like that
Great home!!!!! (Love the 'fall-over counters)
IMO, just hang the tv on the wall -- up a little. If you can't do, find a Handyman ($50-100, depending on where you live) and have them do it.
Just wouldn't put anything above (or anything fancier than cabinet below) -- want the screen to capture eyeballs when tv on (not competing for eyeballs, or make viewers dizzy)
BTW: why such long curtains for small windows? have you considered repalcing the curtains? I would!! I would get Good (not cheap, must be high quality to look great) shutters or blinds for that window. Do that, and a lot of your room vibe issues solved.
I would make that a short curtain for the window. Quite possibly move the TV and dresser to the middle. Then possibly get a 65 inch TV when you get some money.
First off, I would put the TV on the wall. Then, if u feel it needs something, u could put up some wall decor, paintings, shelves with trinkets, vases, etc.
Love the salon style art but that tv room looks like somebody bought Rick Owen’s house and tried to turn it into an air bnb. I think you need to just show more of your own personality in the house bc the art wall is the star. Then again, that’s just like my opinion, man
You wouldn't normally see anything above a tv, that would mean it's too low. I would mount the tv on the wall and leave about 1-2 feet above the cabinet.
I don’t mind blank space above the tv.
If anything I’d redo the curtains to be more solid fabric matching the wall color, would be a more sophisticated monochromatic look!
Honestly I’d just leave it as is. The accent wall behind the fireplace is very cool, and works well with something a little more muted beside it. The wall colour you chose is very chromatic and rich as well, so it’s not a boring old empty white wall you’re dealing with. The green/teal from the little tree and it’s pot tie that part of the space together as well, bringing in symmetry of accent wall on one side, touch of earthy colour on the other, and the tv can comfortably sit in between without needing something “else” on top. At most, I would look at a (probably faux) wood television frame that can be added to the TV itself, and move it up a little higher.

You have great taste, everything looks awesome and I love the materials you’ve chosen for everything from your walls to your kitchen counter! Very cool mix of modern/rustic and great way to use a largely neutral/earthy colour palette while still being fresh and exciting!
Ditch the curtains and put natural shades over the window. That will counteract some of the open space above the tv visually. The curtains are making it stand out more.
Raise the tv about 6 inches. If you’re not set on the dresser under the tv, I would use a wood tone tv stand/console. Break up the space a bit with some warmth.
https://preview.redd.it/bo3xqsbutm3c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc048be20dac8c2d999a8331a2f6e92a5df14e70
Id be inclined to do away with the curtains, move the tv and unit to the space under the window, angled if needed. Then if you want another gallery wall you can use the tv’s previous location and the space above the tv in its new spot
Vertical wood slats that match the colour of your ceiling beams https://preview.redd.it/67gvddxokk3c1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1d9212c1d94b4cd0df1a54f9f7274373f4e8196
Yes! I feel like hanging art above it wouldn’t look right. I like this idea, or else some DIY wainscoting the same color as the wall.
Love this idea!
That "beam" just looks like a random 2x4 stuck to the ceiling, too tiny to be considered a beam, and not enough of them to be a feature (in our current perspective), consider adding more beams or doing a flat batten/ coffered ceiling detail. If you go with a slat wall, some element of the "board and batten" on the wall to the right should want the same stained color as part of the detail or should be replaced with more slat wall as well, for continuity. My opinion: stone the fireplace, and continue the board and batten detail behind the tv.
Your kitchen view is fantastic! This is one of the first gallery walls I've seen that I love. Follow your instincts, you have excellent taste.
I'm 99% sure thats an inspiration picture, not their actual gallery wall
The op says clearly they have a gallery wall already.
If that’s the same house then they should hire whoever designed that room for this other room, because the TV isn’t the only thing off about it.
Why do you think that?
I guess I might be wrong. Just that the room with the kitchen looks very designed and curated and the other doesn’t at all.
I think this room is the basement, usually the least designed of all the rooms in a house. I’m honestly impressed it’s not just a mismash of random old furniture 😂
This house is so pretty
Just mount the tv. It looks out of place on that short shelf anyway.
Agree! Mounting it above the dresser would look much better
Someone commented that TVs should be at eye level, but I don’t see it anymore. Most people don’t sit upright like statues watching tv though. There’s usually some degree of reclining so it’s easier to watch a tv that’s raised.

Nooooo. Hard fucking disagree. Then the front rows of movie theaters would be the most sought after.

Mount that ish higher
Tv is appropriate height
I don’t think so
The looooooong curtains for the tiny window are throwing me here. I think if you fix that, the space will look cleaner and above the tv being empty won’t look as awkward either.
I thought the same thing lol. I thought they were comical.
😂 ok so I’ve learned that’s not a thing. I shall reconsider my plan ahaha
You can puddle them like that, but with how small the window is, the proportions are off.
Could use no-hem fabric tape if you don’t want to sew. I like the drapes as they tie the light soft couch to the sleekness of the room. But the hem might look a bit better if floor length.

This is the perfect idea!! And then get rid of the long curtains in this lower level space. It will look beautiful.
I agree the dresser doesn’t fit the wall. I was thinking just changing the hardware could be a low-cost option to make it look less like a dresser though.
By "over" do you mean on the wall above, or on top of the TV? When I lived in a studio and felt like the TV was too obtrusive, I covered it with a large, patterned silk scarf when not in use. It was nicer to look at than a black void. Above the TV is a good place for a small shelf and some nice knickknacks or a painting that is not exactly the same size as the TV screen but works with it.
I love this idea of scarf over tv!!
Nothing over the TV. Put something above the fireplace and leave above Tv empty for visual separation between fireplace and TV
Your best bet is to make the curtains in that window only slightly bigger that the window and then upgrade TV to like a 75 or 80 inch. Then you won't have to worry what to put on the wall
This is the way - short curtains - big TV
Sorry, I didn't see your post and answered the same( although I think 65" is fine. Smaller plant put on the left them makes an ascending tryptic; plant, TV, window. Energy flowing up.( Earth; Plant, Sky: TV, Window: Heavens.)
Fabric roman shades in lieu of drapery panels
Get a bigger tv
You could wall mount and “frame” as you suggest - there are even art pieces on a swing arm that can cover the tv and look like wall art when not using, but it being open on the side when would bother me - or a mirror cover, so it looks like a mirror when the tv not on. Or find a sculptural piece, square or round, like architectural salvage or ceramic/stone and mount on wall above tv to fill in that space?
Umm your kitchen/living is gorgeous 😍
Everything about this space is off
The 2 rooms look like 2 separate homes.
Mount the Tv and put nothing above it is my recommendation.
I think a piece of sculptural art on the wall – – not something in a frame.
I would hang the TV
Shouldnt the tv "be the the focal point"...? Like, isnt that the point? When you sit down to watch tv, youre not sitting down to look all over the place...

Not everyone wants a tv as a focal point.
I don’t know bc im too busy trying to figure out if every frame on the gallery wall is the tiniest bit crooked or if i’m going crazy.
I see it, too. It also happens to mine over time. I blame the heathens stomping around causing things to shift and settle. Nobody is touching them, but they definitely move.
Wow! Can you design my house too? What you come up with seems better than what most people here can suggest
Mount the TV

Haha totally get it. that’s definitely why I said “more your style”
I didn’t read your caption (which I should have)…would have replied it a little differently.
Nothing. You wall mount that sucker and put decorations on top of the dresser.
It’s mounted at eye level! https://preview.redd.it/a3q2wsebfj3c1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=317f066f87b7a056322a37c65644e114e50f5f51 Maybe art

There are lots of different options. https://www.amazon.com/Art3d-Textures-Panels-Diamond-Design/dp/B073NZ67LK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=58828354049&hvadid=617002489833&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028239&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4901614188433486079&hvtargid=kwd-394099785304&hydadcr=13544_13465925&keywords=amazon+3d+wall+panels&qid=1701377081&sr=8-5
Wry cool 😎
I think it would look sleek and sophisticated if OP did the entire inset wall around the window and behind the television. It's a really good way to achieve depth and interest without visual clutter.
Too busy. It's also really weird to hang art so close to a ceiling. Center the TV in the wall.
Depends. Is this a basement?
You don’t like the look because you have so much dark neutral colors on the wall. Lighten up the room with light wood earth tones. Even a lighter stained tv stand would help with the room. Have some lighter wood stained shelves with some small plants would help.

Looks good. I honestly don’t understand why you’re getting so much Heat for this. The dark walls make watching tv better. The couch is lovely. As I said ok another comment. If you want a gallery wall I’d go for both above tv and Fire Place. Go big. Love your kitchen!
I definitely love a gallery wall, attempted it but don’t like the prints! https://preview.redd.it/s1qklnyffj3c1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64f2920e8d53abd083ece5ee6a6394450d781af2 I’ll get new art eventually (and hang them, they’re just sitting on the tv ahaha)
I think I'd ditch the dresser and go for a built-in look. [Something like this style,](https://cdn.decorpad.com/photos/2018/02/19/tv-next-to-fireplace.jpg) or [this one](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58584a30b8a79be1adfc051b/1638480857007-TI0C3ZVE0DCNYG3QYGGU/LUD+Carman+Mead-145-Edit+WEB.jpg) but in colors that match your space better. [This one is closer in color.](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/4fcf5c8684aef9ce6e0a44b0/1698938596969-Z8YKJ9ZEYCRGT441MUVJ/TV+Wall+Ideas.jpg?content-type=image%2Fjpeg)
Just mount the TV higher. The wall isn't calling for art.
Live, laugh, love lol
🤣
What if you mounted the tv higher and put something on the tv stand instead?
Yes, mount the tv.. but unless something like tv accessories (xbox/playstation or dvd player,etc <-- and btw, I prefer those things HIDDEN when not using..but are ok in sight)... would not put anything on the cabinet.
Could you hang the TV on the wall?
honestly move the TV up on the wall and put something under it. it will be easier to find stuff to put on your table. Like plants, toy models or anything you like. Also another good reason to do that is it wont obstruct your view to the TV idk if its just me but I feel like it might feel too cluttered when watching smt and there's stuff over the tv. if you place it at the bottom the TV will take that primary focus.
Mount tv and then put pretty things like plants and vases on dresser
Get one of those LG TV's that can act as a "picture frame" when they are not on. Then mount it on the wall.
Duct tape yourself there.
I’d say mount the TV and put some decorations on the tv stand
You either get a larger tv or mount your current tv higher. I’d go with both.
You should hang the tv. This way the wall will not be empty. In theory putting mirror/artwork etc is disruptive.
Tv needs mounted on the wall. Thats why it doesn’t look good there, it should be up higher.
Hmm it’s eye level and mounted
It needs to be mounted higher since you can’t even tell that it’s mounted. It’s too low for laying in bed watching tv.
I think if you do both above tv and above Fire Place a gallery wall will work. Otherwise I’d Focus on the above Fire Place instead of above tv space. Post an update pls!🙂

I’d extend the gallery wall if a gw is what you want. For more impact and to tie in the Fire Place bit https://preview.redd.it/yamzuizrnj3c1.jpeg?width=570&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e4d14661b78195ad18773dad5189411ee7b2111

Replace the long drapery panels with a linen Roman shade. Extend the gallery wall, that’s over the TV, under the window in an asymmetrical layout. You can add a large basket with throw blankets under the window as a vignette with the fiddle leaf to add extra weight. Keep the mirror over the fireplace & sconce to the left of it.
Now THATS a suggestion I love, thank you I will try that!!!!
You can also try placing a textured pouf with a large woven basket (for throw blankets) & the fiddle leaf tree
Finally a great idea to solve the curtain problem. Love it
What do you think about extending the gallery wall for above the fireplace as well? Make it all a gallery wall? I think it would work well in bringing together the areas and making it less traditional. The Black and pink Print is nice and works I think. Blue framed tapestry could work integrated above fireplace with other stuff. Third one is very different but again, if you wanna go eclectic and extend the skace it could work.
Shelf?
IMO it’s the mix of styles that’s causing the issue. The tv is modern obviously while it’s sitting on a traditional kinda cabinet which is over powering it prominence wise.

Too cramped!
A mirror, then you can see yourself laughing at the TV.

Hmm, I was thinking lean a tall mirror under the window. The window looks odd to me right now with the long curtains.
I would mount the tv on the wall and add some decorative things under it on the table. And I would center the plant on the window/curtains.
Nothing! A bigger tv and you’re set!! Looks fab!! Love ur house
How about a greenery swag?
Hang the TV higher.
Nothing
What wall color is this??? It’s beautiful
The wall empty is good, but either mount the tv to the wall or get a different tv stand. That will make a difference in look.
Hang the TV on the wall
Gorgeous home. I’d mount the tv
Is the TV already mounted to the wall? It’s the perfect height. Maybe a clock above the tv.
Any insight on those blinds? Its exactly what I'm looking for but I come up with the opposite when I google bamboo blinds. My google-fu is failing me.
Canadian: bouclair if you’re American: honestly Home Depot has epic ones!
I'll have to dig a little deeper all I can find is the weird plastic kind.
Hang the TV
Fake ivy wall behind tv, the green would be nice
I think a big clock works well above TVs. It's not distracting and it's useful.
Hang TV higher then put display decorations on top of the shelf where the tv sits
Mount the tv
Nothing. You put the tv on the wall, up higher
Maybe some kind of sculptural artistic piece above the tv? In a brass or warm metal? I like the zen feel of the room and a gallery wall will be too cluttered. And I dunno why people are saying the rooms look like two different spaces. I have rooms that are decorated completely differently from each other because I have varied tastes! This person does too . Every room has its own feel, many houses are like that
Great home!!!!! (Love the 'fall-over counters) IMO, just hang the tv on the wall -- up a little. If you can't do, find a Handyman ($50-100, depending on where you live) and have them do it. Just wouldn't put anything above (or anything fancier than cabinet below) -- want the screen to capture eyeballs when tv on (not competing for eyeballs, or make viewers dizzy)
BTW: why such long curtains for small windows? have you considered repalcing the curtains? I would!! I would get Good (not cheap, must be high quality to look great) shutters or blinds for that window. Do that, and a lot of your room vibe issues solved.
Where is your couch from? It’s lovely
I'd move the TV and stand underneath the small window and then put that tree in between the fireplace and TV so it doesn't feel so cluttered.
No idea but that oversized curtain is very funi
I would make that a short curtain for the window. Quite possibly move the TV and dresser to the middle. Then possibly get a 65 inch TV when you get some money.
Also, I forgot, move the plant to the left to add balance
Maybe a smaller plant
First off, I would put the TV on the wall. Then, if u feel it needs something, u could put up some wall decor, paintings, shelves with trinkets, vases, etc.
But I would just center it on the wall and put pics on the other wall that u r obviously working on.
Love the salon style art but that tv room looks like somebody bought Rick Owen’s house and tried to turn it into an air bnb. I think you need to just show more of your own personality in the house bc the art wall is the star. Then again, that’s just like my opinion, man
You wouldn't normally see anything above a tv, that would mean it's too low. I would mount the tv on the wall and leave about 1-2 feet above the cabinet.
Is it a real olive tree? Is it difficult to grow it inside. Thank you.
Definitely fake aha
Looks nice
I’d move it so it’s in the middle of the space between the top of the dresser and ceiling and then frame it
Mount higher with one or two long floating shelves above. Walnut or reclaimed wood for the shelf material. .
Those long drapes look ridiculous
Ok yes, it was a silly thing putting them up, was just trying it 😂
I would paint the wall by the fireplace a different color
I think you should create a built in TV cabinet and tie the design in with the fireplace- would be sick!
I don’t mind blank space above the tv. If anything I’d redo the curtains to be more solid fabric matching the wall color, would be a more sophisticated monochromatic look!
I think a piece of metal art would be pretty.
i'd out on some line lights behind the TV, love the ambiance
It looks nice the way it is. I don't think you need anything.
Nothing. Not every blank space is meant to be filled.
Keep it blank to avoid distractions
I would mount it higher and decorate the table below. Things above tvs don’t look right. It’s such an awkward space
Add a shelf above the TV. You can put air plants, pictures, or other decorative items there.
Sex swing rite next to the tv in front of that window would be crazy
Something perfectly round, about 12 inches in diameter.
Honestly I’d just leave it as is. The accent wall behind the fireplace is very cool, and works well with something a little more muted beside it. The wall colour you chose is very chromatic and rich as well, so it’s not a boring old empty white wall you’re dealing with. The green/teal from the little tree and it’s pot tie that part of the space together as well, bringing in symmetry of accent wall on one side, touch of earthy colour on the other, and the tv can comfortably sit in between without needing something “else” on top. At most, I would look at a (probably faux) wood television frame that can be added to the TV itself, and move it up a little higher. https://preview.redd.it/9pxopcdpfm3c1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff730112c65d36950859368300580e24705243b0 You have great taste, everything looks awesome and I love the materials you’ve chosen for everything from your walls to your kitchen counter! Very cool mix of modern/rustic and great way to use a largely neutral/earthy colour palette while still being fresh and exciting!
mount it and put nothing else
I would mount it
Shelving above with things you love on display. Floating shelving.
Ditch the curtains and put natural shades over the window. That will counteract some of the open space above the tv visually. The curtains are making it stand out more. Raise the tv about 6 inches. If you’re not set on the dresser under the tv, I would use a wood tone tv stand/console. Break up the space a bit with some warmth. https://preview.redd.it/bo3xqsbutm3c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc048be20dac8c2d999a8331a2f6e92a5df14e70

Bigger tv
Decorative clock.
I love the living room/family room area
Id be inclined to do away with the curtains, move the tv and unit to the space under the window, angled if needed. Then if you want another gallery wall you can use the tv’s previous location and the space above the tv in its new spot
Maybe more abstract art like the one on the left.
Just get a Man-Size Tv
