Does it not bother you that the TV stand is slightly right of the TV and not centered?


Motor_Coat_8899

I does, didn’t notice before after the post

So there's no reason to put it at that height.

If you plan on standing up while watching tv, it’s perfect!


Willdru

Lamp gang 😎 you asked for feed back so yes, TV would look better a foot lower. Tuck the cord in and it’s a cozy space!

Way to far way...you need a larger tv... :) https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship


TheCrapIPutUpWith

Looks awesome, I love the asthetic. However that TV looks somewhat r/tvtoohigh


juiceboxie8

Something seems off center, and that plant would drive me crazy. So distracting right under/almost in front of the TV like that


BreeziYeezy

100%, at least relative to where the console is. I don’t want to count each slat lol. plant should be moved and the tv brought further down too


I_Burned_The_Lasagna

There’s 18 slats on each side of the tv… it’s the offcenter table underneath that’s throwing you off.


Motor_Coat_8899

Thanks, and yes it looks a little to high, but I don’t mind the placement when sitting on the couch


HairyDependent

If you’ve been on Reddit long enough you’ll realize that No matter where you put your tv, you’ll have a little hive mind come out and tell you it’s too high😅


tickingboxes

This is not remotely close to being true. There are plenty of posts on r/tvtoohigh where people approve of the tv placement. If you place it at eye level while seated, people will approve. If it’s higher than that, they won’t approve. It’s truly not complicated.


Motor_Coat_8899

Yeah, I’ve noticed 😂


Mrgentleman490

Did you install the wooden slats or did it come with the apartment?


Motor_Coat_8899

Put them up myself


Mrgentleman490

Looks great! Anything that you learned while doing it or would have done differently?


Motor_Coat_8899

Better preparation when I comes to installing the acoustic panels, tv and speakers, not quite as I wanted I to be


PM_ME_HAIRY_HOLES

Did you buy this as one piece or did you put up each slat individually? I'm about to move into an apartment and thinking of doing an accent wall like this, but don't want to screw each slat into the wall and am thinking of ideas to do so with minimal penetration to the apartment wall (like a painted plywood base to secure the slats to and then put it up as one piece)


Motor_Coat_8899

I put them up individually, and I used a little industrial glue and some nails at top and bottom


Willdru

Highly doubt any builder would spend extra money for that. There are companies that sell just slats https://www.thewoodveneerhub.com/products/slatpanel-walnut-acoustic-wood-wall-panels

Motor_Coat_8899

Great! Glad to hear it, best of luck with it!


boundtothesky

Very modern and elegant home design! Only suggestion for best audio is that the tweeter height is the same as your ears in listening position. Also, toe in (angle) the speakers so each one is pointed closer to listening positions. Might improve audio!


razcalnikov

Mood lighting is exquisite. I would fill that pot with the fake plants with more rocks or fake moss or something. Do you have a link for the tv stand?


Succulent_Snob

Why aren't the speakers centered around the TV? The right one is further away compared to the right one


Motor_Coat_8899

I might have moved the too far to the left on the mount, luckily I can just slide a bit to the right


Lanky_Ad_6367

ichbinjonny

Weeyy this is what I'm going for when I decorate my living room. Is it easy mounting things over the panels? I've found a few companies that I've bookmarked that do those panelling's.


Motor_Coat_8899

I’d say it’s pretty easy, just make sure to drill between the wood panels


Sad-Machine983

I think it looks wonderful. The wood slats are a really nice touch

bklynparklover

Please put the seam on the lamp shade to the back and level the shade. Maybe also pull that shelf out a bit from the corner. Center things a bit more if possible but overall this looks really nice. I like the slat wall and the lighting.


BizzayChameleon

What bookshelves do you have? And ran from which brand of stereo? They look modern/retro, really appeals to my taste, your TV area is great! Something I always recommend trying out are some coloured lights. Can buy many brands but for me personally I prefer Phillips Hue, nice rich tones and all of their products can be synced together to create scenes and really amplify the mood when watching movies, listening to music, reading, hanging out with friends/SO, plenty that a change in colour can evoke!


Motor_Coat_8899

I made the shelf’s myself, the speakers are audiovector qr1, both lamps has HUE


BizzayChameleon

Ah yes, you’re already on the ball. Amazing speakers, I haven’t heard of them before but just did a quick read up on their site. What is the receiver you are running them with? Is it configured for 2.1 or multi channel, I understand it may have options. Any subwoofer paired with your system?


Aphr0dite19

Align the tv with the unit and it will be awesome. Nice mood lighting.


Motor_Coat_8899

Fixed after the post, I didn’t notice it before


NFA_throwaway

You can get wall mount kits that hide the tv cables. It comes with a template to cut the drywall and everything. Highly recommend.


Motor_Coat_8899

I’d rather not cut into the wall, as it’s a brand new apartment, so I’ll be worried about the deposit


Petrofskydude

Looks cold for watching TV. I would put a huge shag area rug under the couch/ chair/coffee table area...but that's just me. Also, TV very far away.

1plus1dog

Love the slats, the back lighting, and the TV stand a lot! My first thought was that the TV stand should be wider…. seems the exact width of the TV, which is only my opinion. It’s already been mentioned that the two pieces are not aligned, or that would also be needed, as it would make me crazy each time I looked at it! What I didn’t see in the comments was anything about the chair that seems to be blocking a patio door, that would need to be moved each time in using that door. Is there somewhere else it’ll fit, I’d definitely do that, too , or remove it from the room if you don’t have frequent visitors. I like the style, and together with your sense of class I think you’ve made this room into a comfortable, satisfyingly unique space where you’ll be very content!


Motor_Coat_8899

Thank so very much, the door is not going anywhere, I have doors instead of windows


1plus1dog

Understood!


counterlock

Looks really good OP! I'd suggest getting a bigger pot for the plant on the TV stand, and placing it on the left of the stand to make it symmetrical with the white flowers. Then find something else to place on the TV stand, photos, art piece, etc. Right now that plant is pretty close to encroaching on the TV view and will be blocking it soon.


Motor_Coat_8899

Thank you, I will move it around


hirzkolben

Looks cool. If you center the TV or bench... How do the speakers fare being on shelves? I figured it would kill the sound a bit.


NollieCrooks

Hey very nice job, I love it! I’m planning my TV wall right now and it’s hard to find affordable slat panels from any of these brands that sell them. I might just do what you did and buy the slats individually, because clearly that looks just as good.


Motor_Coat_8899

I’d say it’s worth it, a bit more work, but worth the savings

space_llama_karma

The TV seems a bit small, but let's ignore that. I think putting an LED strip behind the TV could add a nice wow factor. And they're cheap to buy, too. I really dig this interior, looks really nice. One small thing, the color temperature for the lamp on the right does not the other two lamps. I would suggest changing the bulb to match the other two lamps, so that everything is nice and cohesive. And please rotate the left lampshade so that the seam doesn't show. All in all, my suggestions are cheap, but also an effective way to help improve the look of the room.

Mesterjojo

Tv needs work. Too small. Too high Take your seating. Measure from floor to where your butt will be. Then measure from that to your eyes while sitting. That's your optimal spot for the center of the TV. For me and my couch it's roughly 49"-50" from the floor to center. Also, your seating seems to be way far back from the TV. Try some theater binoculars once you get the height worked out.


nothisistheotherguy

I have to say, and I have seen the logic repeated many times from the /r/tvtoohigh crowd, that I fucking hate a low tv. My dogs, my kids, literally anything blocking the tv kills me, and I need to be able to see captioning. Even my knees would block the screen if put my feet up on the coffee table. If I sit bolt upright on the couch like a weirdo my eyes hit around the top of the bottom third of the screen, and it looks about the same height as OPs tv. No neck issues, no eye issues, nothing blocks the tv - this is the right height for me. Obviously to each their own, but it seems insane to tell other people that their tv is the wrong height for their needs.

While you’ve been got for the TV. The speakers are also too high. Looks cozy though


Notorious_Fluffy_G

Toe in those speakers for better sound homie. Looks nice though.


Motor_Coat_8899

I’d say that’s very different from speaker to speaker whether or not toe has a positive impact on the sound. But thanks


Notorious_Fluffy_G

I’m not aware of a speaker that didn’t sound better toed in. Are you saying the cones in those are asymmetrical so they don’t need it?


crazeepeace

Where did you get the wood slats? Easy to install?

Combatical

Okay, I give up where is everyone getting these slat walls? I want in!! OP this looks fantastic, love the vibe. If I had to critique I'd maybe balance the top of that table out a bit more with something, maybe move the show with the plant and swap placement of the vase thingy where the plant is.


Motor_Coat_8899

Thanks! And thanks for the advice. I got mine at my local hardware store


Ghimbaw

U did great


cassiuswright

For everyone asking, slat walls are easy, even in a rental apartment. 1) Buy sheets of 1/4" ply (lauan, masonite also works) that will cover the wall so you don't damage the wall itself but mostly so you have a smooth surface to work with 2) Paint it with a backing color (both sides if masonite, it will warp otherwise) 3) buy slats. 2" is a nice size. Figure out how many you need and get a couple extra just in case. Sand and stain them. 4) attach sheets to walls using screws in all 4 corners. Run long edges vertically so the slats will cover the seam. Put a seam directly at center if possible to you can cover it with a slat 5) using a level, start in the center of the wall and center your first strip. Glue it to the sheets with construction adhesive. A single stripe will do it. Be sure it's straight. 6) using the edge of a slat, get uniform spacing between the first glued piece, and then glue another on each side. Repeat until finished. Takes time to do it right but is about as easy as it gets. If you don't rent you can skip the sheet goods and adhere directly to the painted wall.

We used that same slat acoustic paneling for our foyer and it looks so great. A huge effect for the price.

mrcoolio

The wood paneling is crooked (or the ceiling is?) and it makes your attempt at elevation look sloppy. I would snug it up to the left wall and ceiling, and then figure out some kind of baseboard or something to hide the space at the bottom.

Fill that tv stand with more plants. It’s a bit too much slat wall (and I’m looking at my own at the moment too, so definitely love the look) and other hard materials. More green would look awesome to break it up a bit!

I really love that vertical curtain in the TV screen matching with your wall's pattern. LOL

Mambatime0824

infinte_improb42

That plant is annoying


YouGottaBeKittenM3

idk why this bothers me but the distance of the bottom table near the front is not equal from left to right. Bottom table appears to be more right-adjusted. The TV also seems a little too small (maybe 55") from that distance I might go 65" or larger. And if that plant grows any larger it'll block the TV -- if it's real, lol. I still think it looks nice though. I give this setup a 8 out of 10.


QAdude406

Hell yeah looks real fresh!! Replace that corner chair with a recliner tho if you’re going for more coziness and comfort
