Where to put the TV when you have a fireplace

If you are considering having a stunning fireplace installed in your living room, you will naturally want the fireplace to be the main feature of the room. However, many people are concerned that if they place a fireplace in the center of their living room, they won’t have room for a TV. Want to know where to put the TV when you have a fireplace? Below are four smart options along with some stylish fireplace ideas…
-
Hang your TV above your fireplace
Hanging your TV above your fireplace mantle will give your living room one clear focal point, making arranging furniture around your room simple. Having a wall-hung TV will also free up floor space in your living room, making it feel more spacious and open.
-
Place your TV next to your fireplace
If you opt for a large, statement fireplace like the Stickley Dining Room Eastwood Fireplace Mantel you may wish to place your TV next to the fireplace. As the fireplace is the clear dominant feature in the room, placing a TV next to it will not detract from its aesthetic appeal.
-
Stand your TV in the corner of the room
Placing your TV in the corner of the room is a great idea for smaller rooms. You can either mount your TV on a wall or find a stand that sits snugly against the corner. If you choose this placement option, you can place your sofa and chairs in a more natural and open way, giving people the option to either choose seating that faces the TV or the fireplace.

Put your TV on an adjacent or perpendicular wall
If you select a fireplace that is longer horizontally, such as the Signature Design by Ashley Home Office Entertainment Accessories Electric Fireplace Insert, placing your TV on a perpendicular wall is a great design tip to help elongate your walls and make a room appear larger.
