I hate to start the day off with SUCH a controversial subject. Of course a fireplace should be the focal point of a room but can the TV share the spotlight? It sure is convenient because you can see the TV from every angle in the room. But, does it invite more TV watching and less personal interaction? Hmmm....
It should ABSOLUTELY NOT be a tangle of visible cords and components. Here's Jacki's keeping room off the kitchen, a beautiful example of getting it right:
TV's over fireplace done RIGHT:

Here's one of our client's family room. Where IS she going to put the tv? We're thinking over the fireplace is the frontrunner! We'll keep you posted!
Today we're Hookin' up with House of Hepworths, head over and check out all their goodies!
i think it's the perfect spot for it, we just did that in our basement reno. i find it too conflicting if they are separate, like, where are you supposed to look. also, when off, it's two dark black spaces taking up space instead of sharing it together. that's my opinion, anyway!
ReplyDeleteI like televisions over fireplaces, but when they are up very high it's like watching a movie at the movie theater from the front row. You have to tip your head back and it gets tiring. If the mantle is too high, the television should not go above it.
