Location methods of the fireplace and TV

Fireplace and TV - two strong self-sufficient accents. They compete in the process of attracting attention. If you wish, you can combine these two objects in the same room, but it is very serious to approach the issue of planning. There are several options for placing a fireplace and a TV in the interior of the living room, each of which is represented in the photo.

Tip! The TV and the fireplace must be the same size, otherwise a larger object will attract attention.

On one wall

One of the most common options is to place the TV directly above the fireplace. This can only be done if the fireplace is not real, but electric. A fire hearth requires mandatory placement of ventilation above it. High temperatures adversely affect the functionality of the equipment. In addition, the walls of the hearth and chimney can heat up to 50 degrees. To protect the TV from high temperatures, it is set higher, sometimes even under the ceiling. But it is comfortable to watch movies on the screen located so high you can only lie on the couch. The design of the living room with a fireplace and a TV on one wall can be seen in the photo.

According to experts, the location of the TV over the fireplace - not the best option. So when watching movies, the living flame will distract from the image on the screen. Ultimately, one of the items will become redundant.

A much more suitable way of arranging is on one wall horizontally or vertically.

Tip! It is necessary to decorate the living room with a TV and a fireplace. The presence of small details can distract from these two big accents.

On opposite walls

Placing a fireplace and a TV on opposite walls is considered one of the worst options for two reasons:

• Flames of natural or imitating fireplace will be reflected on the TV screen, making it difficult to view;
• Heat from the fireplace can harm the pixels, which is important for narrow spaces.

You can see the interior of the living room with a fireplace and a TV located on opposite walls in the photo below.

On adjacent walls

This method of location can be called the most successful. Opposite the couch set the TV, and to the side of the sofa - the hearth. So everyone sitting on the couch will feel warm from the living flame, and will not be distracted from watching movies and TV shows.

If the living room is large, then you can take one of its corners under the recreation area by placing a TV and a fireplace there. Both items will be located close to each other, but on different walls. Immediately installed chairs with a sofa. The rest of the room can be left for an active pastime, for example, dancing, or make it, for example, a dining room. The photo shows a living room with a fireplace and a TV set on adjacent walls.

Using fantasy, a fireplace and a TV you can harmoniously fit into the interior of the room, making the living room comfortable and cozy. The atmosphere in this room will have to spend long winter evenings in the company of family or friends.
