The living room is where the fun and entertainment start inside your home. It is where you spend hours of relaxation watching TV, with your blankets wrapped around you, while feeling warmth from the fireplace. At some point during your stay in this cozy space, you look around and think of revamping and elevating the pieces of furniture you have. Aside from just thinking of how to position your furniture, why not achieve a luxury design in your living room by transforming your space layout and style, starting from your fireplace and TV stand? Here are some of the ideas you might want to consider:

Where are fireplaces usually placed at home?

A fireplace is where the warmth and heat come from, and it would be best to place it in a central space, like the living room, to ensure it serves its purpose in heating up the home. This is why fireplaces are mostly seen in the living room together with other pieces of furniture. Also, the fireplace is centrally located as a focal point for family members to gather around during the Holidays. Electric fireplaces provide that same ambiance but without any clean up necessary and it has the ability to be placed in any room you choose. 

How close can the TV be to a fireplace?

It is safe to put a TV near a traditional fireplace, but it must be 3-6 feet away, or when placed above, there must be a mantel to avoid damages caused by heat and fire. However, choosing an electric fireplace is a game changer since there is no venting required and you do not need to worry about anything being above and or in front of the electric fireplace. The front glass panel of the electric fireplace is safe to the touch and it does not require ventilation meaning you can place it anywhere in your home.

How to arrange a fireplace and TV in different living room layouts?

Considering space, layout, and wall designs, how can you arrange your fireplace and TV in your living room? It may be frustrating at first since you don’t know when and how to start, so we highlighted some tips and ideas for you:

  1. Put them Side-by-Side

If you have a wide enough living room, arranging your fireplace and TV side-by-side is a good idea, as the room will look longer and more spacious. This arrangement is good for living rooms in a rectangular layout. It will give a breathable ambiance, and you can add some more materials to better highlight your fireplace, like a coffee table and decorative accent chairs.

  1. Try the L-Shape Style

If the living room needs to be longer and you have a square layout, consider the L-shape. You can put the TV on a wall and place the fireplace perpendicular to it. Add your favorite sofa on opposite sides to showcase the L-shape layout further.

  1. The Opposite Sides

Do you have plenty of space in your living room? It’s time to optimize your home interior using your spacious, flexible living room. Consider placing your TV and fireplace on opposite sides, creating a strategic and beautiful layout. A cozy sofa near the fireplace and an entertainment spot facing the TV will ensure an organized and efficient use of space, providing both entertainment and warmth in your home.

  1. TV Above the Fireplace

This is a very popular style of living room arrangement—the TV sitting on or above the fireplace is a visual beauty to most. With the advanced technology and innovations in the furniture industry, putting a TV on top of a fireplace is now possible with our TV stand electric fireplaces.
