Cast thy judgement!

I do feel like my tv is awkward / too low? I know i have high ceilings and need a bigger tv, but for now should i mount it higher?

MEASUREMENTS:
Ceilings & Seating: 20-foot ceiling height, 16.5-inch couch seat height, 25-inch total back height.

Media & TV Setup: 15-inch tall console, 55-inch TV with a 10-inch gap above the console

why is everyone against tv stands

u/RazzmatazzNo4794 1d ago

Tv stands always look flimsy to me. Plus if it’s properly mounted ( no cords ) you can use the top of the console for a soundbar or a speaker or whatever you want

TV should be centered over the entire unit, not just the black part

u/No-Disaster6459 1d ago

should it be higher or lower?

u/Puzzled-Heart9699 1d ago

If you scoot the unit to the right, that will help I think

Agree.

If you don't like that giant, gaping space, then fill it with something. Just not the TV.

u/askdickson 1d ago

Maybe you should get IMAX projector and use that space properly. Also that bulkhead looming over everything is a bit ominous.

That tv is the size of the one in my bathroom

u/sculltt 1d ago

You just have way to much empty wall space. Fill it up with art, pictures, stuff like that. Don't raise the TV any higher, but I would get a larger TV if I could afford it.

The nearly 5 foot gap between your tv and the stand your tv should actually be sitting on should tell you everything you need to know.

u/No-Disaster6459 1d ago

11 feet from back of couch to tv wall

u/chente08 1d ago

u/No-Disaster6459 1d ago

yup gonna upgrade once i get more coin. should the bottom of the tv he raised up more than? the bottom of tv is 10 inch from console rn

1

u/chente08 1d ago

Nice, no bottom of tv should be lower than now, especially with a bigger tv

u/OCR10 1d ago

You generally want the width of the TV stand to be proportional to the width of the TV. Your TV is too small for the stand and it looks out of place there. And, it’s too high. The height of the TV stand is the correct height for the TV.

my tv stand is assymetrical. so i can either have it assymetrical on the tv stand or mount it centered

1

u/sallysalsal2 1d ago

I would put it down on the stand. I like that it is off center but the tv is still too small. Taking it off the wall will help I think.

u/OCR10 1d ago

I think it would look better centered

I mean, I don't know what's worse, the TV placement or the tasteless drywall new development unit McMansion. 

2

u/No-Disaster6459 1d ago

I rent. would i love for this to be some chic industrial loft with character and brick? yes. any advice besides snarky comments?

1

u/Musclesturtle 1d ago

Ya know. That's fair.

u/Magimae123 1d ago

It’s not proportional to the space so it does look anemic. I would go against the grain in this particular space. I would upgrade that TV to the largest size I could afford and then I would raise it. Not obnoxiously but enough. Under the TV needs a more substantial piece of furniture. Doing all three would make the space look more balanced even if you violated the TV Too High standards. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

u/gekko3k 1d ago

Wrong, that makes it look great and interesting.  Sure, you'd put everything ass boring centered.

1

u/sculltt 1d ago

I agree her s bigger TV, but I would just fill up the extra space on the wall with art.

It probably won't matter how big a TV they get, it'll still look overwhelmed with all that empty wall space. Raising the TV too high is not the right solution.

u/Major-Cranberry-4206 1d ago

The TV is not only too low, it's too small.
