Living room tv advice- wall or stand?

Shelley Shell

Will fixing the tv on the wall above the Fire look ok or is the mantle too high?

Also colour..... was going to paint the whole room a gentle white - it's a south facing room but the conservatory takes the light off - suggestions welcome

    Personally I would keep the tv on the cabinet, i think above the fire would be too high for comfortable viewing. Really depends how much tv you watch but I think rule of thumb is when your sitting on the sofa the tv should be at eye level or lower so your not straining your neck.
    Rather like the colour of the feature wall but if you fancy a change then a warm white would look good. Adding some accessories and curtains to tone in with the rug and artwork will complete the room. Hope this helps.

      I think it's down to personal opinion as well. Some people love a tv above a fireplace, others hate them. Personally would rather not have tv on show at all but we have two so they are on low stands. Aside from neck strain, you need to consider where you're going to site wires from tv over the fireplace & where you'll store any extras - e.g. Sky box, etc.

      Thank you for your feedback.

      I've just taken down the matching curtains as it was all too green, I wanted something clean looking but not stark.

      I was concerned about the tv being too high if above the fire

      I would agree with all of the comments made here, Televisions work well with low fires or mantel pieces, I would suggest visually it would look better with the TV on the stand in your circumstance looking at the pictures. We do carry out a lot of installs where clients put the TV above the fires, the general rule of thumb we use is the further back you are sitting from the TV the higher it can go, so the room dimensions would be good to give you some more advice.

      I think the tv is even too high on the cabinet. It's not a proper tv cabinet therefore too high.

      Love all your comments - the tv is staying off the wall and now searching for a tv stand :)

      thanks all

      Plan B? TV too high - solving TV neck ache

      We have been installing TVs above fireplaces for the past 15 years. Our recommendation is that you should leave at 50-100cm clearance from the top of the fireplace to the bottom of the TV. I am assuming that the black cover above the fireplace does a good job of stopping the heat rising? However, a protruding mantelpiece to further deflect/minimise the effect of heat thermals would help.

      TV too high - solving TV neck ache

      This month, we will be importing a dynamic TV mount, that is specifically designed to easily lower TV's that are fitted above a fireplace or protruding mantelpiece for comfortable viewing. The target UK price for the slim mount unit will be £599 including the ability to swivel it left and right (see photos attached). This solution is also ideal for moving the TV away from toddlers when not in use!
