Where to Place the TV in Your Bedroom
Discover the different ways to make space for the television in your bedroom
When placing the TV in the bedroom one should consider, among other things, the size of the device, its distance from the bed (which will probably be the primary viewing location) and also how high or low the television is. It can be wall-mounted or placed on a console in corner. Here are ideas, some straightforward and some innovative, to inspire and help you decide on the placement of the TV in your bedroom.
