Hi all we have the big section cut out in our new house over the
fireplace for a television. Well this the only area we can place our
new 50 in plasma tv. We are at wits in on how we can do that with
limited space available for all of our other equipment? We could but
it on the other wall but then we'd have to move the couch, which would
close up the living room area.
Please help we need to get an idea as to how we can utilize that space
and have room for other equipment..ie...dvr, cd, speakers.
thanks
need help

Oh my! Heaven for bid, you might break a nail moving the couch.

How about installing glass shelves to the side of the TV, you can also have
the equipment on the opposite side of the room but you would have to hide
the cables which means sheetrock work. Besides this is more of design than
construction question.

The neat thing about a TV is that you can run wires to it from equipment
located elsewhere.
Notice how they do this in retail stores. They have a TV hanging from the
ceiling. The equipment feeding the video is located elsewhere.
An electrical or "handy" type of person can make custom wires which will
connect to equipment some distance away. Or check in yellow pages under
"video". Call around and you should be able to find someone who can do
whatever wiring is needed.
So far as where to place the CD/VCR/stereo, etc., many living rooms have the
floor space used up, but there is plenty of space available higher up. Like
on the walls above the couch for example. Or the ceiling. Look up! There is
all sorts of room up there...
Many possibilities.... You could have a carpenter build attractive shelves
or cabinets on any wall for this equipment. Or even have equipment hanging
down from the ceiling!
If you have empty attic space above your ceiling, you can have a motorized
entertainment center which is concealed in the ceiling.
Press a button and the entire works drops down from the ceiling!
Entertaining and having a houseful of guests over for that black-tie social
affair? Well just press a button and the entertainment center is moves
smoothly and neatly up into the ceiling - hidden from view.
Also there are remote extenders. So you could actually have the equipment
located in another room or in a cabinet anywhere in the house. (Just like at
your local retail store!)
For example I have a lot of satellite video equipment, stereo, etc. in my
living room. But I also like to watch TV or listen to music in my bedroom.
All I have in my bedroom are speakers, a TV, and a remote extender.
Everything in the bedroom is connected to the equipment in the living room.
I can operate anything in the living room to be seen/heard in the bedroom
via the remote extender. (I purchased duplicate remote controls for my
bedroom.)
