Sometimes there’s no better space for the living room TV then right smack dab in the corner of the room. It’s not necessarily an ideal setup, but it’s often the only solution available. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing but it can present a tricky design dilemma. If you find yourself in this position then you’ll want to read all about the great ways to incorporate a corner TV into your room design!
One of the more elegant (and expensive) solutions is to create an entire built-in wall unit that makes the best use of the corner. The corner unit can be just big enough to fill in the angle of the corner and fit the TV or you can create an entire feature that has bookshelves and storage cabinets that extend along the walls. Having a large corner structure like this can help bring the entire focus of the room to the corner, which will help you create the perfect layout. If installing a new wall unit is outside of your budget, then a TV stand placed in the corner can work well, too.
Sometimes the best solution for a corner TV is to get rid of the structure entirely. Wall-mounted systems have vastly improved over the years and open up lots of design opportunities. The corner acts as the perfect area for you to hide your cables as they descend the wall (if you install a cable cover). Without having any sort of extra profile the TV doesn’t feel imposing or dominating. This is great for a room where you don’t necessarily want the TV to be the focus, but still want it to be easily-viewable. This is also great for keeping a TV out of the way of windows.
Putting your TV in the corner is often a necessary design solution. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing as long as you think through the best ways to make it work for your home!
