Where to place the TV?

Try to imagine a modern home without a TV? It is difficult, because television is firmly established in our homes, and dictates its own rules.

The basic rule is that the TV should be located where it is convenient to watch. It should be located at a certain distance from the eyes, the distance depends on the quality and size of the screen. Sunlight should not fall on the screen, since then it is hard to see what is being displayed at the moment, etc. Air must circulate freely through the ventilation openings of the TV, it must not be covered with cloth, and installed in tight wall or furniture niches.

In accordance with all these rules, I want the TV to fit beautifully into the surrounding space. Nowadays, this magic box has not been gathering the whole family around for a long time. Now in every room and every family member can have their own TV. It can even be placed in the bathroom and hallway. And it’s hard to call it a box now. Modern developments have made the minimum thickness of the TV, and our pets - cats are not at all happy about this. Cats like to lie on something warm, and old TVs were ideal and their favorite place. However, this is not about cats. Narrow sizes expand the possibilities and convenience of the location of the TV in any room. And they allow you to completely or partially hide it, which is beneficial for the style of the room, since the main emphasis is transferred from the TV to other interior items. And the interior itself becomes more expressive.

For this, contrasting wallpapers and panels, a baguette frame on the wall, rough brickwork, or even a parquet board are suitable. The main thing is that your chosen technique is well combined with the basic style of the room.

The TV looks great in a niche, the main thing is not to forget that the size of the niche should not interfere with the free circulation of air at the TV, otherwise it may burn out from overheating. By placing the TV on the ledge, you not only provide it with good ventilation, but you can also beautifully arrange shelves with shelves on the sides of the ledge,
Partition constructions can not only divide and zone a room, but also serve as a great place for a TV. If you place it in the rotary core - you can watch one TV in the desired area.
