A flat-screen television may be on your holiday wish-list, but you may wonder where is the best location for a large TV. Well, the first thing you want to consider is to face the TV in a location that minimizes sun glare. The easiest way to fix this is to position the TV so it does not face a window. Here are more helpful tips to get the best viewing enjoyment and interior look from a large-screen TV.
Use the large-screen TV as a room focal point.
For apartment living, the best solution may be to bring the television to the forefront of the room's decor. This means making it the focal point—or the first thing people notice when they enter the room. A room's focal point is usually the center of a seating area or a wall with a mantle and/or fireplace. It doesn't matter if you place the TV high or low; if the TV is the focal point, then all seating in that room faces the TV in a central location.
Blend the TV into your decor.
For a not so obvious TV location, integrate your big-screen TV into the room's decor. This may be on a bookshelf or any location that seems like a natural fit. Keep in mind that blending a TV into your decor may not put it in the best location for viewing. Seating should be between 5 feet and 8 feet away from the TV screen, and if wall mounting is an option, make sure it is not mounted so high that it causes neck strain while watching.
Hide the flat-screen TV.
Finally, you can always conceal a flat-screen TV in a cabinet, armoire, or bookcase with closing doors. Another option is to place the TV on a portable cart to move the TV in or out of the room as you see fit. This is also a good option for making one TV transportable to more than one indoor location.
