I just can’t thank you enough for addressing the tv like it’s a real thing, instead of pretending it’s just a maybe for real homes. We like our tv! Everybody we know does! We can’t make it disappear, so how about we do the RIGHT thing with it?!? And you don’t pretend it’s possible in every situation to put it somewhere other than over the fireplace. Sometimes, it’s just the best place! Love it. Love your channel!

[@lonefox]

Thank you so much Rebecca for the sweet words & constant support over on my channel!! 🤎 I’ve been watching your videos for years so it was pretty exciting seeing myself in the video 🥹🤩

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Hey Drew, fun to hear from you. I have enjoyed watching your journey here on KZbin as well. I’m so impressed with your design skills and love how your home is coming together. Every video has an element of surprise and the finished product is always so beautiful. You remind me of myself at your age… not afraid to try something new, determined to find treasures… even on the street 😂 and able to pull off magic (as it were) in everything you touch. Wishing you continued success in your life and in the homes you touch. I’ll bet your mom is really proud of you Drew. I know I am 👍🏻 RR

Rebecca, please consider doing a "Part II" for us Maximalists. I'd love to know the rules above/beside the tv. Thanks! 😊

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Good idea Sarah 👍🏻 RR

[@okashi10]

I think you treat the TV like it's one of your many pieces of art surrounding it, but also need to make sure it is at an appropriate height and location for viewing.

[@obsessedwith_christmas]

What a good idea!

[@paula6446]

These videos showing actual “real people’s” homes & mistakes are soooo good! TY Rebecca.

[@brendagraybeal2543]

I think this is the only time I have ever seen anyone address the tv. Thank you.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Me too Brenda. Trust me, this topic was not originally on my list... but after viewing over 300 fan photo submisions I felt like it need to be addressed. Hopefully you found a few ideas and design principals you can consider in your own home. :-) Rr

[@brendagraybeal2543]

yes I did,@@rebeccarobeson1

[@babyjinspire]

Thank you for this!!! I agree with everything you shared. My hubby and I had a debate about the size of our living room TV. I wanted a 65"maximum as it was going to fit nicely between 2 windows. My hubby wanted 85" (which leaves no wall space between the TV and the windows 😂). Neither of us was going to back down... but eventually, we met in the middle and landed on a 75" Samsung Frame TV. It still allows for wall space, while also allowing for a larger furniture piece to fit underneath. I still think 65" would've been perfect aesthetically... but hey! At least we're still married 😂

[@ednajewell491]

Rebecca, I've admired you & Drew for years. It was so nice to witness you & Drew acknowledge one another! Class!

[@dscox8568]

Big Tv the spouse’s choice 🙂loved the furniture suggestions to pair with the tvs. Hiding wiring for tv should include hiding your router/modem. Great advice as always!

[@ritakrzyminski6407]

So glad to hear you mention Drew at Lone Fox. From the first time I saw him I thought “Drew and Rebecca need to meet!”. Two designers with different styles, but both very gifted.

[@missypin7520]

Of course it’s the man wanting the bigger tv! 😂 Thank you for your content!

[@michellewinkler3985]

I'm really happy to see this important topic! My son is legally blind and has to sit about 6' from the TV. That being said, we have FOR YEARS had out TV mounted so when he is sitting on his favorite bar chair stool right next to the TV it's at his height (he's about 5'5") I was so happy so see that I passed your test! I have a large mossy green TV cabinet with 4 glass doors, and a just slightly smaller TV mounted above the wall above it. My husband has wanted a larger TV and I have always said no! it would be too big for the cabinet underneath! LOL (I cannot believe people cram their necks to look up for hours! Chiropractor time!!!!!)

[@michellewinkler3985]

six inches from the tv not six feet !

[@julianielsen1885]

Rebecca I’ve been following you and Drew. I love both of you r channels! I think I am such a fan because you both provide suggestions that are not always at high designer prices.

[@cindicarter483]

I love that one of my favorite designers shouted out another of my favs. It’s like your mother vibing with your mother-in-law! All the feels! 🥰❤️

[@sonyamilamrollins6698]

Who is Drew?

[@angieteng2664]

I like problem solving sessions. I feel like these situations are similar to mine and I definitely learned from some mistakes. I definitely love your high ends make over houses, but I feel like I don’t have that huge space nor the money to purchase the items in the house. So it’s nothing personal. I appreciate your efforts to make your channel more practical! Love it❤❤❤

[@megweiss1736]

This is a very helpful video. You always address the design problems we all are dealing with. Thank goodness televisions are flat now instead of the big horrible boxes they used to be. 😊

[@lynneross319]

Back in the 90s the cabinet housing the TV was a godsend. I could shut away the ugly black box. The Samsung frame TVs are a modern approach, but sadly my husband wanted the bigger and technologically better TV. Personally I hate it, but what can you do? It’s all about compromise and I get my way with all the decorating decisions. So thanks for addressing this issue.

[@joedevitto6113]

I wanted a 55" TV, my husband wanted a 65". We got the 65" and I'm glad we did! The livingroom is big and the 65" is almost too small! I did pick out the console, serveral inches wider that the TV! (Thanks Rebecca!)

[@julieeichner8322]

I’m a girl and I have one TV. It’s a 77 inch Sony Bravia! It’s large but I love it!!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Good for you Julie... I knew when I made this video I'd have a bunch of feedback. Just let me say... I love your perspective. Embrace your large TV. You love it and that's all that matters :-) RR

[@samanthacardimon4600]

One of the greatest design tragedies was the advent of the wall-mounted television. Particularly the extended arm thing. If you must have a TV the size of a Mini Cooper, please follow Rebecca’s suggestions.

[@KO-D00M]

I personally agree… I find it to be quite the eye sore! I opted for a projector because it can be “huge” without all the extra doohickeys. But to each their own.

[@ceethomas7316]

I’m so glad you mentioned Drew and his TV solution. It’s one of my favorites. I left him a message about you. Thank you for this video! I’m going to order a clock mount outlet asap. Also need to find a way to mount the TV so it doesn’t stick out so much. We couldn’t center it because the available studs weren’t in the right place so had to put it on a board that was solidly mounted to the studs. Maybe there’s some kind of metal piece that could be used instead? 🎉

[@kusumlakshmipathy9069]

This video was very educational. Many thanks. 💐

[@valeriehowden471]

My husband checked online for a buyer's guide to find a tv for our current family room. It gave him the maximal dimensions based on viewing distance. It's a normal sized tv which was easy to center with floating shelves on either side. I want a pair of deeper floating shelves underneath for tech gadgets and a DVD collection (yes, we still have those things). He's a keeper for the modest tv selection and his electrical handyman capabilities to hide the cables!

[@selasmama4499]

Thank you sooo much for the very real, practical and clear advice! I subscribed.

[@praisingirl]

This has been very encouraging. You put words to my gut feeling that my tv is out of place! I was told to not put a tv over my wood burning fireplace in our new dining/family room. We are avid football fans & our large family comes for lunch & the game on Sundays. My only wall wide enough is awkward! Between kitchen doorway & window. Placed it high to see over island with tilt stand which can turn toward either rm as needed..works great but need to do something asthetic to frame it in. I should just enter a pic & face the embarrassment. 😉

Love your channel as well as @lonefox . Great content on both channels 😊

My husband definitely prefers a larger TV than I do!!! No question about it. haha.

[@laurab8450]

Fabulous advice, Rebecca! Yep, hubby loves the big tv.

[@hotelvillascoral]

Love your Top 10 series! As a single gal, I´m a big fan of large TVs when the space allows it especially in the bedroom and kudos on your TV, it looks sooo much larger than a 65 " sitting above your crendenza. I read that the recommend height is about 42-45 inches from floor to the center of TV so its eye-level but I will see if its true.

[@angellovethatisme]

Actually, Rebecca, my husband wanted the 86" TVs at first; however, now I'm so glad we have them. I especially enjoy them while watching football games, Christmas movies and your videos on KZbin! 😅

Thank you for another informative video, Rebecca. I just got furniture moved in, but haven't found all of my artwork for my living room so I'm not ready to do a photograph. I have never had a fireplace before and am excited that I have one now. HOWEVER, it is a corner fireplace. A while ago you asked if we would be interested in having an instructive video on furniture placement around the corner fireplace. I sincerely hope that you are planning to share ideas with us on that subject sometime in the future. TIA

I have a small space that we are calling the "den" I was the one who wanted a larger TV, however it is currently sitting on 2 saw horses with a board. A small refrigerator to one side and my quilting design board on the other side and to top it all off a heating duct above it all. This was a wonderful episode because the areas that can be impacted by some of your suggestions will definitely be implemented. I will make a point of getting some before and after photos.

That you recommend him impresses me even more with you. So generous. You have veryifferent styles but are so similar in what inspires you and family, etc. ❤

[@bradwatson7324]

I think the reason some people mount their television really high is because they've seen it done at sports bars. But, of course, there's a difference between a sports bar and a home.

[@dianacarr5515]

Lol ... my husband and I fuss over TV size and placement. As you said, his motto is the GRANDER the better and he loves having the TV as the focal point. I prefer a much smaller TV and hidden so something more decorative is the focal point. Our compromise is TV hung over a large hutch and are planning to frame the TV so it looks like a piece of art. I run music with beautiful lanscape/wildlife scenes (Tim Janis has a great collection!). Even when I turn the music down the imagery is beautiful, refreshing and seasonal! 😊

You are so right! Hubby wanted the big television 😬😬

[@debs1717]

Love that you took time to make this video. This is the first like this I’ve seen.
