The TV room is a recreational facility as well as the simplest and most practical gathering space that you can create at your home. At first glance, the design of this room does have a similar arrangement to the design of a family room or living room. Many people think that the TV room design can be realized only by placing the TV in the living room or family room. This makes the standards and rules in managing the TV room design not optimal and makes the room uncomfortable. Want to know how to organize a good and efficient TV room? Observe the following standards and rules.
Sets the size of the TV
Many people not too detail into the size of the TV they have in a room. Try to imagine, how does it feel if you have a limited TV space but you have a large TV? This of course will make the room not proportional and will affect your activities in the TV room.
Visibility distance between TV and seat
Don’t want your eyes get tired while watching TV? For this reason, it is very important for you to observe the distance between the TV and the seat. Too far distance is of course uncomfortable, while too close distance will make your eyes tire quickly. So, you can measure the ideal distance from your TV size with standard calculations, TV size means 3x viewing distance.
TV laying height
An improper TV height can also make the TV room design uncomfortable. Ideally, the height the TV in the room is between 100-110 cm from the floor. But this is not absolute, you also need to adjust the height of the TV position according to the height of the family members, the height of your seat and the width of your TV. To make sure the TV is the right height, try to watch it at certain height and determine the height where you can watch it with straight gaze and in relaxed position.
Observe to the light direction
The light source in the TV room come from two sources, natural lighting from windows or doors, and artificial lighting from room lights. Now, what needs to be considered is the direction of light for natural lighting relative to the position of the TV. The best position for the light to come is from the right or left side of the TV. Placed the TV with its back to the light source will make the image from the TV not too bright. On the other hand, a light source that is directly in front of the TV will dazzle the screen.
For artificial lighting, you can choose a ceiling lamp over a chandelier. If you still want to use a chandelier, make sure the height is not too low so that it makes the TV screen glare.
Sofa arrangement
The size of the TV will greatly affect the width of the room or the length of the sofa arrangement. A too small TV compared to the area of the room or the sofa size will make you uncomfortable watching. For that, adjust the size of the TV with the sofa arrangement so that everyone can get the same comfort.
Currently, there is curved TV technology that you can choose from. This type of TV can be a solution for a wide room or too long sofa. Curved TV will help every viewing position get a good picture so that watching TV becomes more comfortable for everyone.
Electrical installation details
The next thing you should note is the electrical installation in the TV room design. Make sure you provide enough switches in the right position and don’t interfere. Placed the switch down on the wall behind the TV. And, prepare a cupboard or side table to protect and cover the switch so that the cables not scatter and disturb the tidiness of the TV room. Scattered cables can cause shorting and interfere the space.
Those are some important things that you should notice in TV room design. Even though it looks simple, in fact it takes precision so that the room more comfortable used by all family member or even visiting guests.
