Where to hang an air conditioner: a designer's opinion

When it comes to installing split systems, most people are guided by the recommendations given to them by the installation technicians.

BelNovosti online publication expert designer Yulia Tychino disagrees with this, because installers often take, frankly speaking, the path of least resistance and prefer to install in a place where it will be easier and faster.

For example, if we are talking about a bedroom, including a child's bedroom, the air conditioner can often be seen above or to the side of the headboard.

Why is this a bad option? The air conditioner will blow directly on you, making noise. Also, being located above the long-term stay area, it spoils the focal point.

The same applies to the option of placement opposite the bed.

What to do? Hang the air conditioner where you spend the least time – above the door to the room.

Now let's talk about the living room or other common family spaces. In this case, try not to install a split system above the sofa and above the table.

In such a situation, it is worth choosing one of two solutions: hang the air conditioner, again, above the door, or take it out into the hallway
