Each room has its own requirements and without knowing them you may end up purchasing the wrong TV for your needs. In this article, we look at the best spots in the house for a TV, and what you should consider for each room. If you’re looking for multiple TVs to introduce to your home, we have a range of cheap LED TV deals to browse.
The Best Spots in the House for Your TV: Room by Room
With so many potential spots for a well-placed TV to go, here’s a quick breakdown of what to consider, broken down room by room.
Living Room
Let’s start with the most common place for a TV the living room. As you may expect, the best possible place for a TV is opposite the main seating area. By placing the TV here, you ensure that no-one strains their neck needlessly when catching up on your favourite shows. Moreover, the height at which the TV is placed is crucial, as if it’s too high or too low this could impact your overall viewing experience. Likewise, avoid positioning it near a window so that you don’t get unwanted glare on the screen.
It’s also important to consider the screen size of your TV depending on the room in which you place it. For instance, if you think that most of your viewing time will be spent in the living room, then it makes sense to purchase a TV that is on the larger side for this room. Ensure that your TV is visible from every seating area in the room, without dominating the space too much. You can shop by screen size on our website, as we have plenty of product offerings depending on your size requirements.
Bedroom
Another popular place for a TV is within the bedroom, which can be ideal for snuggling up on a drizzly night and watching a great movie from the comfort of your bed. For such a watching experience, your best bet is to place the TV at the foot of the bed or mounted on the wall across from the bed at a suitable height. Many prefer a wall-mounted TV in the bedroom, not only for optimal viewing, but also to save space in a room where storage is limited.
Since the TVs we stock are graded TVs, this means they often have excellent wall mounting capabilities. Just check that the wall you’re using is sturdy enough to withstand a TV before mounting.
Kitchen
The kitchen is another place that has become increasingly popular for TVs. Whether it’s to get up to speed with the daily news, or to help keep children entertained as part of the morning routine, a well-placed TV in the kitchen can be extremely beneficial.
Try to place the TV near where you cook, and ensure it is visible from the cooking area. Unlike other rooms, we would also suggest opting for a smaller screen size in the kitchen. That is because it likely is not the main TV in your home, and by opting for a smaller screen, you can keep your kitchen feeling spacious.
You must also be conscious of which areas of your kitchen get the most hot and humid, and avoid placing your TV there, as it could cause damage to it.
Home Office
A home office can be another excellent option for a TV to be placed, either acting as a second computer monitor, or to take a much needed break once in a while! You should place the TV just above desk level, potentially even on your desk if there is space, to ensure it is easy to see.
If you’re wanting to introduce a TV to your home working set up, then be sure to check whether the model you’re interested in has the necessary connectivity requirements to do so. Things like HDMI ports and Bluetooth are examples of things to look for to ensure your computer can connect. Some may decide to invest in a cheap smart TV for the home office, as it can display news, social media, and presentations, which may be helpful depending on your job.
Outdoor Patio
Lastly, having a TV placed within an outdoor patio can be an excellent way to host memorable parties and making lasting memories with your family. Given this type of TV will be outside, then you must consider one designed specifically for outdoor use. This means placing it in a space that is sheltered from rain and any other weather conditions that may alter the TV’s performance.
Additionally, having a TV outdoors can work as the perfect way to host guests for your favourite sports games. There are several factors to consider when choosing a TV for sports, including models that have a high sound quality, so you are able to capture the action in detail when you’re outdoors.
Bathroom
Is there anything more relaxing than a nice warm bath after a hard days work? Relaxing and unwinding can be made even better with a well-positioned television! Whether you’re catching up on your favourite shows in the bath, or getting the daily news rundown whilst brushing your teeth, there are many ways to enjoy a TV in the bathroom.
Consider ventilation in your bathroom, as well as the location of plug sockets. You will also need to ensure you opt for a bathroom-suitable TV, as not all models will be capable of managing the humidity.
Gym
Sometimes we can have all the motivation we need to get into the home gym and smash through a great workout. But some days, we need a little more motivation. Having a well-located home gym TV can make your workouts that little bit easier, as well as providing multi-faceted entertainment. With a smart TV, you can watch your favourite TV show, stream music or watch a workout class.
Try to place your TV in a location where it can be seen from several seated locations, or near machines you are likely going to spend a long amount of time on. For a home-gym TV, it’s worth opting for an option that has high-quality sound, as you will want to hear what is going on over the sound of your fitness equipment.
