Every sleep expert in the world will tell you "NO! Absolutely not!". Bedrooms are (from a health stand point) to be used for two things (as an adult...and only 1 as a minor) - sleep and procreation. TVs cause the body to "alert" when they see it. Even if the TV is never turned on, the brain has a conditioned response to "wake up" when it sees a TV. The TV says, "Hey! I entertain you! Stay awake to see what I can do next!". And if the TV is turned on, the wave length is EXACTLY the right type to destroy your sleep - blue wave length. Blue is the colour associated with "mid morning sky" = the most awake time of the day.

As a design/oppulance type of statement, TVs in bedrooms are considered "good", "wealthy", "sophisticated". But to the health of the human being and the science of sleep (and there are more than 120 sleep disorders out there...no need to add another one) the TV in a sleep area is one of the biggest hazards to be avoided!

Love sleep. It is the thing that allows you to think, feel, enjoy life. Without sleep, we die. With POOR sleep we slowly go crazy. And before that happens, we simply get cranky, moody, have a hard time making decisions and are all around difficult to live with.

to gmilburn, ; ) no offense intended, however, in my opinion I would say that depends on the people in the bedroom, not the t.v. per se.
There is a remote control and an off button, it's easy to turn off the t.v. if you want to sleep or do something else ; )

I like having the TV on in the morning to one of the morning "news" shoes when getting dressed. I don't watch TV in the bedroom at night.

Me hace gracia la condena a muerte que hace ARKITECTURAS - "holístico", como yo- a las sillas, por "demasiada personalidad". Yo soy partidario de no tirar jamás nada, mínimamente customizable o reciclable. Os puedo hacer lo que dice el compañero, pero seguro que lo hace perfecto. Se necesita plano del salón y detalles dimensionales de lo que ya hay. Lo que falta, puede ser de infinitas maneras. Por eso recomiendo a ITZIAR que no lo guarde, ni asuma todo. De momento dejaría a un lado, a los que no quieren otro color, que no sea blanco. Sin color, el interiorismo se queda en nada y se puede uno divertir lo necesario y recomendable, siendo ciego. Para mi el blanco es a la vista, lo que el silencio es al oido. Por suerte viene la luz y hace sombras, con lo cual aparece una maravillosa gama de grises, interesantísima... Solo hay una cosa peor: Ser vegetariano, vegano, higienista o macrobiótico. Tienes un caso de premio, para para fotos de un ANTES y un DESPUES. El tema televisión no es grave y me sé muchas maneras de solventarlo. Desde comprarse otra, hasta ver la única, gracias a un espejo bien situado. Leer del revés, previene el Alzheimer. La clave está en una sabía elección de COLORES textiles, alfombras incluidas y en la forma de iluminar. Lo que tienes, merece el derecho a vivir, aunque sea rehabilitado. Si tiras tus sillas, me avisas con tiempo, a donde las vas a tirar. Lo que tienes que buscar, para completar un salón de revista, te lo diria una vez condicionadas sus medidas. Lo único merecedor de la máxima pena, es la "información parásita", por inconcreta, utópica o desajustada y claramente emitida, por desconocedores, que se autoconsideran suficientemente ilustrados y creen saberlo todo. Einstein dijo que "lo que hay que saber es un óceano y lo que sabemos, es sólo una gota". No es literal. Si vas a poner MI INFORMACION en una gran sopa, veo y callo. Para distender el ambiente, que pudiera enrrarecerse, pongo un modelo de mesita meona y una niña amiga de un semanario triste, por faltarle dos cAjones.

Redecorar reciclando muebles existentes

Te dejo un enlace a más ideas para dormitorios... https://es.pinterest.com/estudioarl/bedrooms/ Respecto a la pérdida de paredes al abrir la cocina al salón, mantendría la puerta a la cocina desde la entrada, con lo que tendrías un frente ciego de hasta 1m de alto para apoyar muebles bajos o la mesa de comedor. La pared de la entrada al salón, entre pilares, sería perfecta para crear un enorme armario empotrado sin tiradores, que simule una pared. Aun tendrías la otra pared frente a la cocina para muebles altos. Respecto a pintar los muebles de Ikea, me parecen desproporcionados los precios que te han dado...sólo merece la pena pintar por profesionales cuando el mueble es una antigüedad, es de madera maciza o de gran calidad. Te recomiendo dos opciones: vender los muebles e ir de nuevo a Ikea a comprar otros que encajen mejor en tu nueva casa, o atreverte a pintar tu. Te aseguro que no es tan complicado, y la pintura especial para muebles es muy económica, no huele y es muy sencilla de aplicar. El toque "manual" de la brocha le dará un encanto de mueble reciclado. Si tienes dudas, en internet existen muchos tutoriales de cómo hacerlo e incluso en las marcas de pintura más reconocidas te asesoran en lo que necesites. Si tienes un presupuesto ajustado, no lo dudes...haz lo que puedas tu y paga a un profesional por lo que realmente no puedas acometer. Saludos

DORMITORIO A JUICIO: Qué te encanta y qué cambiarías

Hola,no soy profesional de decoración interiores,pero creo que tengo mucho estilo y apetito de la decoración de interiores. En principio personalmente no me gusta el dormitorio.... el estilo decorativo no es malo del todo,pero le falta encantó y saber emplear mejor los detalles y estética del dormitorio. Como se ve en la imagen el suelo sigue con el mismo estilo y material el altillo dónde se encuentra la cama..no está mal un altillo en la habitación si está es amplia y dispone de espacio,pero ese altillo debería de destacar en otro color y materia para que haya un contraste en la decoración y se vea que hay un altillo. Las dos lámparas que caen sobre las mesitas de noche,no es mala idea, pero no con dos apliques de pared sobre cabezal. Visualiza esa imagen y quita los focos la repisa con cuadros y plantas,las mesitas de noche y las cajas de mimbre a pie de cama. Dejaando las mismas lampara colgando en diferentes alturas y bajo las lámparas puedes poner alguna banqueta media alta dónde su utilidad sea sencilla o cualquier otro tipo de mesita de noche más decorativa y no tanto para guardar. Simplemente teniendo ese vestidor en la habitación,las mesitas que aparece en la imagen y el resto mencionado antes, sobran. El textil no dice nada ,no tiene armonia, la lámpara de pies y butaca la pondría justo donde está la plata y ventana,quitando la planta de la habitación.De está forma quedaría libre de obstáculos frente a la cama, y espacioso El armario vestidor es lo único que me puede gusta algo.

Si quieres la solución genial 7 ******* pon el mural del Salón, panelando todo el frente de madera y en el lado derecho, colocas el televisor y un escritorio o superficie de trabajo, puesto de ordenador, de manera que ocupen 1,20 m. Luego un manitas que te haga girar todo esto con un eje central "pivotante", que te permita tener televisor y escritorio en el dormitorio, además de pasar por 60 cm que son suficientes. Si no lo entiendes, para a pensarlo. Sería una puerta de 120 cm que giraria 180º en su centro y te ahorras un televisor, además de hacer una "entrada secreta" al dormitorio y de muy fácil manejo. No hace falta que llegue al techo. Te queda una especie de "zulo" con gracia. Si además empleas mi comedor mágico, que ocupa ¡¡un décimo de metro cuadrado!! tienes aprovechada la casa al máximo y de firma. Si estás en Madrid o cerca, puedes ser mejor ayudada.Delante de esto puede ir la parte de mueble de salón, o sea, librería, todo ello corredero con riel al techo. Mejor que la mesa de trabajo, sea entonces una tapa abatible y sigues viendo TV a la hora de comer, con solo girarla 90º, o girando únicamente el televisor, con el soporte adecuado. Confío en que se entienda todo, dicho sólo en prosa.

I used to love watching the TV on a time before bed, but when I married my husband he was adamant it had to go. Instead, I now listen to the radio (COMPROMISE!) There are such great, chic radio options out there. I have a Tangent Quattro now, but am eyeing the Roberts.

I love my tv in the bedroom. My husband watches sports in his man cave and I can watch my favorites in the bedroom (Downton Abbey) or watch the news in the morning as I get ready for work.
If that makes me a "bad person", so be it!

I do not want a TV in my bedroom. Never have and likely never will. When my children were growing up I would never allow a TV in their bedroom either. I monitored their screen time to one hour a day to encourage them to play outside, play board games, ride their bikes, play basketball. I believe that children need fresh air, sunshine and exercise, esp. after sitting in a schoolroom all day.

Nope, no TV in the bedroom. My husband was actually the one to insist. We only have 1 TV in the house that's hooked up to cable, and that's in the living room. The other tv is in the garage, and it's there more as a computer monitor so we can stream workout DVDs.

Before I would have said no, not at all but have changed my opinion on that for several reasons. Hubby and the boys like to watch live football matches and sometimes that can go on for days so having a TV in the room means I can watch my programmes. It isn't on otherwise. The Main TV is where everyone gathers when there is no football or special programmes on.

Where else am I gonna go late in the evening when hubby starts "flicking" through the channels to find something funny that I dont want to see, before he goes to bed. When we move into our new home in July, there wil be a little sitting room with a small TV off the kitchen where our bedroom TV will go.

I think one of the most uncomfortable evenings of my life was spent at a friend's home. They'd invited another couple and my husband and I over for dinner and a movie. We didn't realize until we arrived that the only tv in the house was an enormous 54 inch TV set up at the foot of their bed in the master bedroom. We had a nice meal, but then all 6 of us plus two mini pinchers had to either climb onto their bed or sit on the floor to watch the movie, and the screen was far too large and close up to watch comfortably even if you are comfortable being in someone else's bed with another couple!

Not swingers - Medical students, the group was three couples from the same residency program. The hosting family was a rather uptight Southern Baptist couple which was one of the reasons we were all rather suprised by the situation.

I love having a TV in our bedroom. There are plenty of times my Hubby watches something I'm so not interested in. This way I can watch it in the bedroom, read & use my iPad. Though well aware of what the experts say it's never caused any sleep problems having a TV in our bedroom in almost 43 years of marriage.

I don't like the idea of having TV in the bedroom because I find watching TV as a group activity. If I ever find myself with free time and alone, I'd read or take a nap.
Jennifer Hogan

I think it is a very personal decision. I work exceptionally long hours and I work from home (one job) and run a home based business (job 2). I don't own a kitchen or dining room table as I found that flat surfaces breed paper and become a storage space for stuff. We have a breakfast counter for eating. I have 2 places in my home for solace. One is my bathroom and the other is my bedroom. I don't watch much tv, but if I want to relax and watch a movie and not be distracted I am going to hole up in my bedroom, turn off the cell phones, silence the ringer on the house phone, close the door and watch a movie.

I also find that when the pressure is mounting and my eyes are tired from hours of computer work and my brain won't turn off it helps to watch something just interesting enough to distract me from work, but not interesting enough to keep me awake.
cluedin

What i find to be the most distracting in the bedroom is my ipad. Tv is a distant second choice, but we enjoy it in the bedroom - listening to the news or the end of a game with the sleep timer on.
What i don't like is when a tv is placed on a beautiful dresser and then there is no artwork in the room to enjoy from the bed. I have a very small br with builtin clothes storage, so here is my solution.
First picture is "before", second "after".

Recently I finally got my dining room table cleared off and she does it there, too! You have me thinking.....what else could I put in my dining room, the edges house computers and desks. 8-)

katerlyn, I don't wish to make your life devoid of hope, however, my German Shorthair Pointer was often found sitting or standing on my kitchen counter. Once she got stuck on top of my refrigerator. . . I had taken her ball and put it on top of the fridge when I got tired of playing. I forgot about it, but as soon as I left the room she decided to retrieve her beloved ball. I heard her barking and found her standing on top of the fridge, ball in mouth, without a clue how to get down.

Another solution are Ad Notam Mirrored Televisions. When the television is off you have a mirror, switch the television on and - as if by magic - the image appears with no loss of image quality. Simple, clean and elegant.

I sleep like the dead! I watch tv ( mostly any old Everybody Loves Raymond show) every night when I go to bed. It's not the type of tv program one has to concentrate on, and before the show is over, I use my tv remote to shut off the set and them I'm out!

I tend to agree with Cancork Floors comment, and others suggesting no tv in bedroom, BUT .... I have a hard time sleeping without it. Also, without it, I'm afraid I'd stay up too late watching tv in the main living area trying to get tired, or fall asleep on the couch, or go to bed and lie awake for hours. I also love having TV in bedroom for myself or my husband is not feeling well. Takes your mind off of feeling ill a bit.

I just wanted to add that when we lived in the USA for a while, there was no TV in the bedroom ( rented home) but I heard this storm outside our home and wasn't aware of how strong tornadoes were in the area. I remembered a friend telling me that they always had alerts about weather conditions on TV, so I went to check the TV and indeed, there was a tornado alert! I was in and out of both rooms after that.

I remember reading a handbook of what to do in case of emergency, but hubby wouldn't budge from his bed. Next morning, looked out of the window and found several large trees, uprooted and garden shed was gone, when I looked for it, it landed at the opposite end of garden still in one piece!! At that time, I would have preferred TV in bedroom lol

But then again the TV is like a mobile phone, it is like a magazine, you can switch it off or put it down.
