Tucked Away

A common problem in today's households is where to put the television. It's 2017 and most homes are fortunate enough to have a television (if not many), but most families run into two contradictory specifications when it comes to placement: The television needs to be conveniently located where one can sit comfortable and watch, but shouldn't be the focal point when you walk into the room. Luckily, we are living in an age where t.v.'s are no longer huge three dimensional boxes, but instead they are ultra flat, which is more convenient, but the problem still exists: where is the most attractive place?

Lots of living rooms and dens have obvious places for your t.v., but some rooms are a bit trickier, like this Oakland family room in the photo above. The family wanted a t.v. somewhere, but the room was slightly small and the fireplace was super modern and inconspicuous. The natural place would be to put it above the fireplace if nowhere else, but since the fireplace was the shape that it was, the television would have looked to out of place. That is why we created a a recessed wall specifically for the size of their t.v.! Now the television is easy to see but tucked away enough so that it doesn't look out of place and too noticeable.
