Where to place the tv is one of the biggest hurdles to jump over when decorating a room. Not only do you have to take cable hookups into consideration, you also have to be very aware of height. No one wants to pull a muscle in their neck trying to watch tv in your home.

Here are a few tv mounting options and tips from the Apartment Therapy House Tour archives:

&bull If seating is equal height to the media cabinet, a tv stand is a great option. Chris & Liz's Lodgey Loungey Living Quarters
&bull The height of the media cabinet should be in direct correlation with the height of the coffee table and couch. All should be about the same height and tv viewing will be at its best. Joe & Kara's Hidden Cottage
&bull A centrally wall mounted tv is the best option for a non traditional furniture setup. The couches are facing each other, so a high wall mounted tv is a great option for the weird angles viewers might have. They won't have to worry about heads or big hair getting in their way.
