So I've got a client just come to me, they're having their house extended with a new living room with lots of open glazing, problem is there are almost no walls as the architect has designed it and as the client said "where do I put the TV?" which is a fantastic question, I think theres too much glazing for the room to feel comfortable, but are there any ways to put a TV in there without changing all the windows?
I have wondered about dividing the long wall into two windows either side of a fireplace, maybe with the glazing going all the way round over the top so its kinda free floating? any other ideas or key words I can search for for inspiration would be very helpful please :)

EDIT: the extension isn't built yet, has yet to get planning permission, but this is what they are working on for now.

Where to put TV?
Comments (4)Hi. Is it a full height window? If so, you should be able to get away with a tv enclosed in a cabinet. If not, if the tv sits under the windowsill it will look fine. Have you thought about the tv above the fire? I would maybe think abouT a small chaise sofa to get furniture into the middle of the room and perhaps a cabinet of sorts where the armchair is to blend in the piers? Do you have something with measurements as I'm just roughly estimating based on the kitchen!...See MoreWhere to put Sofa and TV?
Comments (3)Option one for me as well, I see no problem seeing the back of the sofa from the kitchen and YES to your idea of adding a narrow console table behind that you can dress with lamps which will help at night. Two small tables at either end to pop drinks down would help you eliminate the need for a coffee table and when you have guests they could service people occupying the chairs. It's a lovely space :)...See MoreTV on wall - what can I put at the sides
Comments (2)Firstly,paint the wall in a deeper shade,muted plum or grey.A black tv on a white wall can look too stark.Remove the wall lights and put black shelving units each side with led lights for a subtle effect.Use a collection of coloured glass vases etc in jewel shades of amethyst,purple ,cerise to fill the shelves rather than pictures on the wall?Sometimes pictures on the same wall as the tv can distract from actual tv picture....See Morehelp me decide where to put my TV in this living room
Comments (6)Hello Maria, It's an interesting room actually and firstly my suggestion is to paint the orange white as a base. You can then gauge light levels more easily which would then inform you as to how to treat the room. Removing the balustrade completely opens the room as the steps and split level arrangement can still denote separation.. Which you can use accordingly either by situating sofa or perhaps a console and then sofa or even just a console or low cabinet here with something decorative on it.. ... Viewing the back of a sofa or low piece with something lovely like a vase and floral arrangement or something decorative is a rather nice way to introduce if you like, another area of a room and give it a sleeker form of separation if that is required.. I also rather like the idea of having a more open split level arrangement.... Perhaps consider a fire that you can use.. Look into flueless fires as an alternative.. OR possibly even a small black wood burning stove with a twin wall flue. There are options you can research and look into which I think could be nice.. Store a pile of logs underneath the space is ideal. If you want to lighten the floor consider rugs and other layers here that can really be used as a basis for your design.. Placing the sofa facing the fireplace is really an idea focal point.. with armchair opposite angled towards the sofa and fireplace.. It could be a 3 seater with a matching square foot stool which you can sit at one end to create a chaise longue arrangement for something less formal.. Another idea I like is to have again a sofa facing the fireplace and then possibly two chairs with a small table in between at the side with their backs to the sliding door, but in a way that means they don't block the view or flow of the room.. Try things out and see what works for you and the room... You want to keep flow through the space and decorate as 1 space even if the rooms are functioning separately.. Layering colour is an ideal way to decorate and add texture. Situating a flat screen in a cabinet is a nice way to hide the tv as it's not what you want people to focus on when they come to your home.. So perhaps take out the shelving entirely in favour of a cabinet that could house the screen when you want to watch a film etc. There are really some fantastic elements to your new home- the rads are fantastic and I do like the fireplace.. I think you could make this fabulous.. Add textural and warm coloured elements to the sofa arms etc.. I can see earthy and warm tones with rich luxuriant additions.. such as cushions, throws and large floral arrangements for coffee table or side tables to add interest and finish the space .... :))...See More
