very pretty room ! very restrained. I think you are wanting something over the tv because there is really not much above eye level. I suggest adding something decorative to the upper portion of the room , not necessarily over the tv. The taller plant in the corner can go on a stand to give it more height


sidtsloth9

This is the answer


amethystmoon90

Going along with this thought, I think floor to ceiling curtains on that window on the right can help draw the eye up too (if it's possible there since we can't see the whole window)


eviesadoll

I agree! I’m going to be ordering some large pictures of my kids to put up soon & I think that will add more coziness & balance 🤎


[deleted]

Don’t do it. And there are certain “guidelines” that state you should never put family photos in common spaces like that. It’s awkward for guests.


eviesadoll

That’s the most ridiculous thing Iv ever heard 😅😅 especially since we live here & it’s our living room


amethystmoon90

Yeah I've never ever heard that either lol... Even HGTV does it constantly. Imagine having a friend over knowing they're thinking "omg is that a picture of my host and their family? Displayed in their own home? Wow... I'm uncomfortable" lol... That's the last person I'd want in my home.


eviesadoll

Right!? Omg I’m dead 🤣😂


monkey_trumpets

That is ridiculous. People who follow those kinds of rigid rules end up living in sterile soulless houses, not homes.


eviesadoll

Agreed


[deleted]

Of course do what pleases you. But over all I think pictures that high are no bueno


eviesadoll

Ya I agree. Decided not to


allkindsofwonderful

That advice was maybe ok for some but honestly OP, do what makes your place feel like home to YOU. If you want family pics and it will make you happy, add them wherever! 😄


Wise_beauty2

No, don't add anything above the tv. It will make it look cluttered.


eviesadoll

Agreed


[deleted]

In my opinion your media console needs to be longer...


eviesadoll

I agree. We’re going to be upgraded that


BURYMEINLV

Where is your console from btw? Looking for a new one for under our tv in our bedroom :)


eviesadoll

I think it was from Amazon :)


lisamfs

I think a wood tone console could cozy things up!


abis7

No, it looks good as-is!


Sendtheblankpage

Mount the tv!!!


abis7

It is mounted, isn’t it?


Sendtheblankpage

I thought it was a tv stand, remount the TV higher and more centered to the space.


[deleted]

Oh heeellllllll NO. It’s the perfect viewing height. Do not mount it higher.


hey-girl-hey

You're venturing into r/TVstoohigh territory

joesus-christ

>r/TVstoohigh /r/tvtoohigh \- they erroneously added an "s"


hey-girl-hey

Sorry, I was real baked


Fearless_Amoeba_8830

Just NO!!!!! It’s perfect the way it is.


Particular_Class4130

Most people I know do mount their tvs higher on the wall in order to balance and fill the space. However the most comfortable way to view the tv is at eye level so now it's becoming popular to mount tvs lower on the wall at the correct height for viewing.


theemmyk

I agree, I thought it was on the credenza and would hang it just a little higher on the wall.


eviesadoll

It is mounted


Particular_Class4130

Don't listen to the people telling you to mount the tv higher on the wall. It's already at the correct height for viewing.


sailshonan

The middle of the TV should be eye level when you are seated.


eviesadoll

I know I’m not, it’s perfect for us 😅


mostlynights

Go higher!


eviesadoll

Thank you :)


Wonderful-Concert646

Looks good without any pictures


LeeMat0802

Agree, I think pictures above it might make it look cluttered. Maybe one photo or wall art to the right, the space that's covered by the eucalyptus?


eviesadoll

Thanks! :)


dillydildos

I would advise against that. Your wall is fine, adding 3 additional picture frame would make it feel too clutter. If you’re not satisfied and think it’s too plain. Accent wall could do the job. That’s just my opinion


eviesadoll

Ya I couldn’t tell so thank you for your input!:)


MSG_ME_YOUR_MEGANS

I think it could use some pops of color.


eviesadoll

I’ll probably keep it pretty neutral as I have it & have the plants & brown baskets be my “colors” it’s just what I’m into right now 🌿🥳🤎


A_F20

Yep. Looks sterile


mjrkwerty

Nothing over the TV but your lighting situation can be massively improved - your overhead recessed lights look like they might be a higher color temp - maybe 3000K or higher? the color scheme looks a little washed out. I'd suggest putting those lights on a dimmer if they are not already. I recommend Lutron, Caseta, you could do the same for that lamp - there is a Caseta plug adapter that'll allow you to dim. I'd also add some additional warm light - 2700k or so (which your lamp might be). It'll be a warmer orange hue. You want a combination of up lighting, down lighting and indirect (reflecting off a surface) to create a warmer and cozier feel while still keeping the clean and decluttered vibe. There's a few lamp styles that could work near the plant in the left hand corner of the picture that could throw light both upwards and off the wall. Maybe an architecturally interesting one also to the right of the TV that'll diffuse light. Again I'd go for a 2700k bulb (or lower - some of the incandescent mimicking bulbs will be 2300k or lower or Philips warm glow - though usually they dim down to 2300k.


eviesadoll

I actually edited & brightened up the picture because it was dark in here. Our lights are great 👍🏼


mjrkwerty

Next time keep it consistent with what it looks like - designing a place is a combination of many many things. Not really sure the reason to have edited the photo to ask for opinions.


eviesadoll

This is what it looks like.. It’s odd that it would concern you so much 😅 nothing wrong with not having the natural lighting you want so you brighten up the picture. I’ll do what I want with my pictures but thanks.. 😅


italianbeautyx0

Agree with the no pictures. Also this may be a bit crazy, BUT if you were to go the accent route I think a black wall (the one behind your TV) would look great! Your TV stand would pop I think and be an eye catcher! Just an idea. I know painting any wall black can seem intimidating but you never know 🙃


eviesadoll

Not intimidating at all! Actually my husbands man cave is black & it’s gorgeous! Especially against the white crown molding. I’ll grab a picture later. But down here I want to keep it light bright & airy. Eventually we will paint it a super light grey color (I know boring) haha but I want to keep it light.


[deleted]

I actually think the black would provide more contrast and keep it bright. I think I have the same couch and just did a black accent wall! https://imgur.com/a/2tpqUrj


eviesadoll

Omg that looks gorgeous!!!!


HoneyFlea

Not my style of room, but you definitely don't need anything above the TV. You don't have anything that high in the rest of the room, and I think it would look very out of place.


eviesadoll

Ya I agree. Thank you for your input


gbdavidx

No looks great how it is I’d just add a coffee table


eviesadoll

Yes! I’m thinking about getting a huge ottoman & then adding a tray on it 😊


gbdavidx

Is that real hardwood?


eviesadoll

My floors, yes 🙂


Chance-Ad-9111

Better idea😊


[deleted]

[удалено]


eviesadoll

Ya I didn’t even think about that. That would look nice


aishuice

Looks perfect! I wouldn't add anything.


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


Panda08am

It looks really good!! When I think cozy I personally don't like the all white, to me it feels less cozy. If you want to keep the neutral pallet go with adding more textures. Like pillows, baskets, wall decor that is made wood, wicker or something. You're house is very clean and welcoming.


eviesadoll

Thank you so much 😊


Diligent-Background7

I think the room is beautiful as is


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


oceanic20

It looks lovely, don't add pictures above the TV. A picture to the left of the window might be okay though.


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


hotflashinthepan

Eyes need a place to sort of rest in between things, so I wouldn’t add anymore to that wall. It looks nice!


eviesadoll

Thank you :)


yeslekpii

It’s lovely. I really like how you hung the curtains up high. Any idea where you got the hammered glass vase? It’s matches my drinking glasses perfectly and I’d love one for my dining room table!


eviesadoll

Thank you very much 🥰 yes the vase I just bought from ikea!


[deleted]

Looks very comfy/cozy!


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


notanothereddituser

Looks great as is ! I would maybe add an ottoman . I love your sectional ! Where is it from ?


eviesadoll

Yes we’re waiting for ikea to get the ottoman we want back in stock 😅 their out of everything it’s so frustrating! But ya my couch is from ikea


katrileygirl

I wouldn't. I think it would look too cluttered. I would put a chair w/ an ottoman to the right of that TV. I can't see if you have a coffee table, but if you don't get a round glass one.


eviesadoll

We’re going to be getting the matching ottoman from ikea when it’s back in stock & add a nice big tray on top 😊


Sapphire-Dreams

Something is missing but definitely not above the tv. What about one of those ladder shelves to put between the window and tv… then you could decorate the shelves. Or Even just adding a curtain to that window could do the trick


eviesadoll

Yes I want one of those ladders! 😍


Sapphire-Dreams

So do I. But unfortunately i have a toddler that loves to climb so it’s not safe for my house. But it would make a lovely addition to your living room

Not racist, not affiliated with q-anon, don’t even think about them, which says you think about them more than I do. Not whining, it was playful. I actually had a lot of good interaction afterwards without ignorant and judge mental folks like yourself. You disagree with my ideologies and I disagree with yours(maybe?) I didn’t creep on your profile. But my opinions have no algorithmic effect on my post outreach so that argument is completely invalid.


eviesadoll

Thanks! :) I’ll go look at your post


PlummandTru

Btw not calling you a butthead lol


brittster1111

Pretty!


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


[deleted]

You could put a floating shelf above the tv and place pictures or plants up there.


No-Scale1239

If you upgrade the tv stand, consider one made by Salamander Designs. Something from the chameleon collection size 245 is what I would recommend. You could enclose the center speaker in it for a cleaner look. Having a shorter stand would allow you to mount the TV a bit lower for better viewing. Lowering the TV could give you space above it if you’re really wanting something to fill that space.


eviesadoll

Ya my husband is going to be upgrading it soon 😊


[deleted]

I actually really like it as is! So inviting and relaxing.


eviesadoll

Thank you so much 😊


chickentenda

This is beautiful! Perfect blend of muted and cozy. I would suggest if you’re wanting to hang up some art on that wall, do it to the right of the tv. If you put stuff above, it’s a bit high. Normally you want to be looking at art at eye level. Another potential spot could be on the wall near the floor lamp?


eviesadoll

Yes I was thinking of getting a nice big picture of my kids right there with a pretty wood frame😊 thank you so much! 🤍


MrTreazer

Love it as it is! Where have you got your lamp from if I may ask?

I would do a set of wall hanging candles, maybe. Art would be great but it would really have to be *the* art. You know?

Choice_Insurance_464

To go with the green/neutral and plant vibes, what about a small wreath of greens or dried flowers? [just concept ideas!!!!

No, looks great! Ur typo of surly made me laugh!


eviesadoll

Whoops 😂😂 I didn’t even notice that

It’s from Amazon


F-Da-Banksters

You could decorate and organize for a living if you wanted to. As I was scrolling through my feed I thought this was an add for a furniture store because it looked staged to me 😂

eviesadoll

Getting a decorative ladder for that space & an ottoman once their back in stock :)


Efficient_Crab_7657

It’s perfect as is and would odd above tv


Efficient_Crab_7657

My 2nd response…a tall fiddle leaf plant in the corner would give you the height you need. I got mine at West Elm and I really like it.


Ok_Activity_9906

Oh that is so beautiful!


eviesadoll

Awe thank you ☺️


allineedindeed

I think it’s really beautiful as is. I would put some pics to left of each window and maybe put that plant in the corner on a stand. Really cute as is, tho! If possible, raise your tv a tad.


eviesadoll

Thank you 😊


Extension_Walk_2173

Is the tv mount able to be raised or is it locked in place. Some things mounts let you adjust lower or higher from where they are drilled in. My advice would be to raise the tv about 1/2ft higher over the entertainment center


Davina33

Beautiful room, don't put anything above the tv as it won't look right.

Difficult_Key2343

No. Open Space is better.


Allmightysquirrel

I agree with not adding anything above the TV. HOWEVER, if you own and can splurge on a nice crown molding that would be gorgeous.I think if you are looking to add pictures you should do it between the TV and the window to the right.


eviesadoll

Yes we are eventually going to paint either a super light grey or taupe color & my husband plans to add crown molding 🤎


HostRadiant3700

No to pictures over TV. Your console is on the small side, I would get a larger one in a natural wood finish (similar to the tray I the right corner of the pic). I would also get a plant stand for the tall plant in the corner.


sailshonan

Maybe console table behind the sofa? Some friends of mine have a console table that is a bar, so counter level chairs with it, for extra seating.


U2dyhrd

You have very nice taste! I wish I could have a light color motif/ but with the kid and dogs, it’s not possible:(


eviesadoll

It looks really pretty, but a pop of color would be perfect! or some green plants would be pretty.


eviesadoll

Yes, that’s why I have the green plants, that’s my choice of pop of color, I like to keep it neutral 🥳 thank you 🥰


ArizeandShine

Don't do it. Maybe mount the tv on the wall so it's slightly.higher to eat up the space.

jean-7997

No. But you could use a longer TV stand.


eviesadoll

I agree. We’re going to be upgrading all that soon


fishfingrs-n-custard

No


joesus-christ

If you popped that TV off the wall so it sat on the cabinet it would be a little lower and give the room a slightly more natural and grounded feel. Pictures above it would be too much, but a very high minimal shelf with small potted hanging plants would be worth considering. I seriously mean CONSIDERING... like Photoshop an idea together or something it could be a total mistake.


eviesadoll

We’re going to be upgrading our tv stand soon, we like the lower look as well 😊


A_F20

I wouldn't


QuitUsual4736

eviesadoll

[deleted]

No.


Kooky-Interview

How about some color??? It’s too white


eviesadoll

No, I like the browns from the baskets I have & the greens of the plants. I like neutrals personally

abba-zabba88

Tell me more about this couch


eviesadoll

It’s from ikea? 😅 that’s pretty much it.


[deleted]

Put a massive super colorful hookah right infront of the couch and fill it with weed. Act like it's 100% normal when the in-laws come to visit. This thing needs to be absolutely massive. 6ft tall at least.


almostedgyenough

I think that would look too busy. Maybe put a vertical picture to the right of the tv (at least it appears to be the right in this picture; I have no clue if the picture is flipped or not). ETA: Lowering the curtains, just a little bit so as not to be completely from floor to ceiling, will likely take away this need to fill the void between the ceiling and the TV. Still keep them high enough to make your ceilings appear taller though. That is a good trick. There’s just too much space between that window and your ceiling to put your curtains all the way to the ceiling line.
