In most living rooms, the TV is located opposite the sofa.
It would seem that this is the correct option for placing things in a room.
After all, it’s convenient to watch your favorite movies and TV shows while sitting on furniture and looking forward.
However, Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, came to an unexpected conclusion: placing a TV opposite a sofa is a very serious mistake.
Why is this a mistake?
With this type of arrangement of furniture and appliances, the living room ceases to be a cozy space with stylish design.
In addition, it becomes not very convenient. If there is a large company in the room, then its representatives will find it very difficult to communicate with each other.
How to fix the error
Opposite the sofa you need to put another sofa. Or a couple of armchairs.
It is advisable to install the TV on the side. It is necessary to ensure that people sitting on the furniture turn their heads to see the screen.
At first glance, this arrangement of things makes people uncomfortable.
In fact, there are no downsides: on the contrary, comfort and coziness appear.
Nothing interferes with the communication between the host and the guests: you can simultaneously watch TV and periodically look into the face of your interlocutor.
Placing the unit on the side creates the perfect setting for watching movies together.
At the same time, if necessary, the TV simply remains “in the background,” without distracting people or interfering with their communication with each other.
