In the corner so the natural light doesn't shine on the screen

Hello, I have searched for some inspirational images. Of these three I would like to make one. The storage in the first image it has hidden doors, built in under the stairs, also accessible from the side. This could work for you, you could place the TV at the front. like you can see it on the second image. The third image shows a beautiful finish with seamless doors. Alternatively you can check out our Blog as we also specialise in custom furniture making! http://blog.stjamesdesign.com/category/bespoke-furniture/ StJames Design Interiors

Hi Angela, I think I would look at a modern grey and white look. Maybe with a darker green used in a few accessories and plants which will soften the design look (important with hard floors). If you don't have furniture then maybe consider a single room redesign interior design service. Everything is then taken into account to ensure lighting, colours, furniture and space planning as well as styling. I hope that helps. Thanks, Gina

Hi Tony. I think having the tv at an angle and building the cupboard out a little is probably the best option if you didn’t want to downsize the tv. Regarding speakers, ceiling speakers are a good idea if you’re in the construction phase, they usually come in pairs (left and right) and four would be more than adequate for a large room. You would need the ceiling speaker hoods as well for fire and sound protection. Also the necessary wiring would need to be hidden and all speaker wires go to an AV receiver which then connects to tv ( I think...not really an expert on this). Have a look at Richer sounds website, they should have lots of info: https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/in-wall-ceiling-speakers.html @ Jonathan, I can feel my hubby’s horrified look if he heard you say that TVs alone have adequate speakers ;-) (he is a perfectionist when it comes to tech stuff mind). We prefer freestanding speakers so we can upgrade as and when. And finally is the fireplace already existing? If not (at the risk of offending other Houzzers:)) maybe consider tv set into chimney breast above a low ribbon style fire, perhaps bio ethanol fuel as these wouldn’t need a flue. Tv above fire is usually a big no no as the tv is too high up and would cause neck strain but the modern styles could work well. Some photos for inspiration (click to enlarge)
