TV in open plan living space or in separate room?

Pavan123
hace 5 años
we are about to start are extension and I need to finalise the electrical plan. We have a separate lounge, playroom and kitchen/diner/living space. the TV is currently in the lounge. I hadn't planned on putting a TV in the open plan kitchen/diner/living space, but I'm wondering whether I'll regret it later. Just wondering what people's thoughts and experiences were. Thanks!

    Put in the CAT cabling if you are building. You don't have to put a telly in if you don't want to but at least you have the option.

    Also what is going on on Houzz...I keep typing stuff and it is disappearing as I am correcting or repeating!

      I agree with above comment. Include in both rooms and it will prove you with the flexibility in the future.

      This totally depends on your lifestyle and how you see to run your house. For example, I do not like TVs in bedrooms- the builder, electrician everyone tried really hard and found it unusual why I wouldn't even provide a connection. I just thought there is NO chance that can happen- hence did not give a provision.


      You can give a provision and close it off, but if you don't see yourself using it in 5-10 yrs time. Then I wouldn't bother.

      I have had a largish kitchen dining living area for quite a few years and would say that if you have a family the Space gets used differently depending on the age of your kids - for example when little they hang around with you and get involved with cooking, drawing at breakfast bar, then when older they always do homework there and tv is a distraction....then when teenagers you are so glad they can watch tv with their friends in the kitchen area and you can retreat to the living room! So I guess put the cable in and have the option

      It all depends on your lifestyle - we have a separate TV room and it means we go there to watch specific programs rather than having a TV on in the background whilst we are doing other things.We have so much screen time these days with our phones that i feel we don't need a TV in a room where we are doing other activities and particularly not where we are eating as mealtimes are often the only moments families get to sit down and talk together. It means you have another room to entertain, read or chat without TV noise & distraction.

      We've just done an installation where the TV was in an open plan area and is only on view when needed. There are lot of options (for all price points) around this subject that can allow you to have a TV in the open plan area but not look like a TV.

      Thanks for all your comments, the opinions seem to be split evenly. I think my worry is that if we have a tv in the open plan area we might jus end up having it on all the time, but I suppose I can put the to point in and it's there if we need it, but won't install a to straight away and see if it's missed!
