The answer to the question in the title is not as simple as it might initially seem. Let's think about what factors need to be considered in order to choose the right place for the TV …
In which part of the room should the TV be hung or placed?
Many of us put the TV in a special wall designed for the living room. Usually a sofa or a dining table is located opposite it, thus forming a kind of impromptu cinema for all family members. It is important that the TV is not in front of the window, because in this case it will be very problematic to see it on the screen during the day, with the blackout curtains not closed.
At what height should the TV be positioned?
In the kitchen and in the room, it is worth choosing different heights of the TV location, because in the kitchen the hostess will most often look at the TV while cooking, and in the living room, TV programs will be watched at the table or from the sofa. Stand by the stove in the kitchen, sit on the sofa in the living room, estimate the height at which you will be comfortable looking at the center of the TV screen.
How do I position the TV?
Today, there are two main options for installing a TV indoors - on the wall, using special brackets, and on a pedestal, in the wall. It is worth choosing between them depending on the area, the workload of the room, and the design. Also a good option is a TV in a niche specially built for it, but you need to think about the design of a niche already during the renovation.
It is important to consider the possibility of installing sockets for the TV (TV antennas, sockets for powering the device). It is better to immediately install several sockets (4-5 pieces) so that other equipment can be connected to the TV - cameras, tablets and laptops, smartphones. It is also convenient to connect a keyboard, mouse to a smart TV, so a shelf for such trifles (including a remote control that tends to get lost) does not hurt.
Helpful advice: do not forget to arrange additional lighting in the room, because watching TV in complete darkness, as some people like to do, is harmful to the eyes.
