The Real Estate Debate Over TV Placement<\/h1>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Watch your TV placement when staging a home. Real estate professionals faced with the issue are divided over where in the living room a TV should go\u2014or even whether it belongs there at all.<\/p>\n

Hayley Westoff, a Compass real estate professional, told Apartment Therapy that if the TV setup feels wrong, buyers could be turned off by the space. After all, buyers want to visualize themselves living inside a home, and watching TV is a big part of many people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Allison Chiaramonte, a Warburg Realty agent in New York, doesn\u2019t see the presence of a TV as a critical matter when staging a space. A TV shouldn\u2019t be the focus, she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile some think keeping a television in the living room at an open house is crucial, others say it takes away from the taste of the home,\u201d Antonia DeBianchi writes on Apartment Therapy. \u201cIt\u2019s a problem that sellers don\u2019t seem to talk about, and its solution\u00a0isn\u2019t the clearest, either.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a room is awkwardly laid out, it could add to the challenges. For example, above a fireplace is a common spot for TVs, but if a mantle is too high or the fireplace is on the diagonal, its placement could feel unrealistic or awkward.<\/p>\n

\u201cRearranging the furniture, and putting either a TV or mirror where the TV would go … really helps the buyer visualize what that setup would look like,\u201d Westoff told Apartment Therapy.<\/p>\n

Also, if the TV is outdated, many real estate pros suggest removing it. \u201cIf you have a really old, thick, crazy TV, it definitely makes people wonder why it\u2019s not upgraded and wonder what else in the house might not be upgraded,\u201d Chiaramonte told Apartment Therapy.<\/p>\n

The best compromise: Have the TV blend in. If it\u2019s mounted in a cabinet, close the cabinet if you can. If sellers have a giant TV, try to tone it down by tuning it to soundless images showing nature or peaceful scenery so it shows more as art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
