4 tips for installing a TV in the bedroom

Of course, a large number of people enjoy watching TV in their bedroomswithout getting up comfortable the beds or couch. And for many, this is a really nice way to spend free time or relax after a hard day's work. However, sometimes, if you are just thinking about installing a TV in the bedroom, certain, albeit minor difficulties may arise. Despite the fact that in general the whole process does not look difficult, there are still a few details that you should definitely consider and keep in mind. Yes, there are pros and cons in all of this, but solving the problem before it occurs will allow you to save energy and time, as well as avoid undesirable situations. So, in this article we have collected some useful tips on installing a TV in the bedroom, which we recommend that you familiarize yourself.

Why do you need this?

And before giving any advice, you need to answer the question: “Why do I need in the bedroom TV?". And, as you might guess, the answer will be very convincing. Instead of sitting in the living room until late at night, tossing and turning in an armchair, you can watch your favorite movies and shows sitting comfortably on the bed. You do not have to worry about falling asleep at some point, and then waking up and going to the bedroom, because you are already in it. And if this alone is enough for you, then rather put yourself a TV. Of course, besides this, there are more practical reasons. With this solution, you can always find out the morning news, weather or traffic data, just trying to wake up or being in the process of preparing for work.

In addition, you may have another passing question. Namely: "What if your children want a TV in their room?". And many parents are really pestering this dilemma. On the one hand, children can watch some kind of cartoon for the 19th time, while adults watch everything they want in living room or another room. Or they can watch Saturday cartoons with enthusiasm while you are in peace and quiet. And on the other hand, a similar process can get out of control, creating additional difficulties. Firstly, doctors recommend that children watch TV no more than two hours a day, and warn that watching just before bedtime can harm the sleep process itself. But secondly, you may have difficulty controlling what they will watch. If you nevertheless agree to this, then be sure to securely fix the TV. But more on that later.

TV size

In order to determine the optimal size of the TV for the bedroom, you have to figure out the distance from the bed to the place where you plan to place it, as well as what you will watch. Models with a small diagonal may be ideal for watching (or rather even listening to) the morning news, but you will need larger screen for comfortable watching movies. Of course, a small TV can always be made to seem bigger just by bringing it closer to the bed, using, for example, a retractable mount. Yes, this will not greatly change the situation, but if you do not have a budget or simply a place to install a large TV, then such a solution may be the way out.

Since the TV may be at a greater distance from you than in the same living room, you may notice a lack of sound quality or volume level. A good, maybe even portable, speaker, if not a whole speaker system, will help solve this problem. If you do not want to disturb other inhabitants of the house or your soulmate, then wireless headphones will definitely come in handy.

TV location

Most people, quite logically, think that you need to install a TV directly in front of the bed or at its foot. But besides this, there are several solutions that can also turn out to be quite good. Bedrooms are completely different, therefore, the best place to install a TV in it depends on the size and shape of your space, as well as furniture layout. Installing the TV in the corner may be a reasonable idea, since angles are not often used. And this is a kind of saving space. If the foot of the bed is already taken, you can install the TV on a pedestal, a special stand or come up with any other solution that turns out to be the most optimal and suitable for you.

There are also quite a number of stylish ways to hide your TV from view when you do not need it. For example, you can place it in a certain place in the closet, which will work the same way, even if your TV is an older “chubby” model. Well, if you suddenly have in your bedroom fireplacethen be sure to set the TV over it. Just make sure you have the ability to adjust the tilt position.

If you are looking for a unique way to install a TV in your bedroom, look at ceiling. Hanging a flat-screen TV to the ceiling is ideal for a bedroom with lots of windows and of doors. One of the main advantages of this arrangement is that they can be hidden when not in use, and do not take up space that can be actively used for other purposes. Security - One of the most important aspects to consider. Make sure your ceiling can support the weight of the TV and get strong, special mounts. Well, keep in mind that in this matter it is better to rely on professional help.

Placement height

After you decide on the location of the TV in the bedroom, you will probably want to take into account the possible height options for each potential location. Remember that the ideal height for placing the TV in the bedroom may not be the same as for the living room. Most likely, you will be lying in bed watching TV, so the ideal height is usually slightly above your line of sight. Also, you may need help to determine the correct placement. One person can lie down while another will mark the most suitable place. Type of mountwhich you choose will also determine which height will be optimal for the most comfortable and enjoyable viewing. If you have a movable mount, then you definitely can more flexibly adjust the position of the TV to your needs.

Lighting

When watching TV, most people prefer to be in total darkness. This may work in movie theaters, but in the bedroom such a solution can cause eye strain. In addition, this, as we already understood, will have a negative impact on the future dream itself. When it is dark around, the body automatically prepares for sleep, but when you watch TV, you force yourself not to fall asleep. Then, when the TV is turned off, you risk driving away sleepiness and tossing and turning in bed for a long time before falling asleep. Therefore, even a small amount of additional light when watching TV can correct this situation.

A good option is to create a small amount of light in the room, can become a table lamp.It will be ideal if you install one on each side of the bed, if you sleep in it more than one, as this light will not interfere with your soulmate. Also, a good alternative would be having over the head of your bed reading lamps, which can also be lit to avoid eye strain, while, of course, not only when watching TV. Well, or install a night lamp on the bedside table to control the level of illumination, which will also help create some romantic atmosphere, if necessary. One way or another, this point is also worth considering if you do not want to feel discomfort.
