Today we’ll be discussing some mistakes that many homeowners make when trying to integrate a television into their design scheme. The most common TV wall mistakes people make are usually related in some way to scale, distance or proportion. We’re going to look at all that and more!
The goal here is to blend your TV into the decor. For example, integrating your TV into a gorgeous built-in is great! There’s nothing wrong with drawing attention to a media center if it’s a really beautiful piece of design. But big, bulky entertainment centers are usually not beautiful pieces of design; they are meant to be practical, but often ju...
I think we’ve all seen this old chestnut enough to safely say: it’s time for us to never see this TV stand, or any derivative of it, ever again. It’s possibly one of the saddest looking TV stands I’ve ever seen. Sure, you can put it in a boardroom or something, but it has no place in anyone’s living room.
There is nothing more visually jarring than a TV jutting out from the sides of a wall. So, let’s say you move into your new home and there is only one logical spot to place the TV in the living room. And that spot happens to be a piece of wall (or section of your fireplace) that is only 40″ wide. This means that your 50″ TV is *not* going to look g...
Ahh, another classic. The general rule of thumb for TV height is that the center of your screen should be positioned at eye level or just below. You don’t want to be craning your neck upward to be watching TV for extended periods of time. That being said, if you have a very, very big room, you *can* afford to hang the TV higher up, because your sea...
Anyone can see that the image above is pretty silly. 😂 But is it always that obvious when your TV is too big for your console or TV stand? Nope! Otherwise it wouldn’t be such a common mistake. I recommend getting a console that is at least a few inches wider than the width of your TV (on both sides!). It’s important to remember that TVs are measur...
If you’re thinking of hanging a gallery wall around your TV, it’s a great idea! Just make sure you plan out how it’s going to look before taking to the hammer and nails. It’s easy to imagine something in your head, but when you go to execute, it doesn’t exactly turn out the way you’d imagined it. Happens to us all! If you’re going to place artwork ...
There is a lot of debate over what the “correct” distance should be between TV and the sofa. There are some guidelines certainly that one can follow, but it really boils down to personal preference. To read some of the different opinions on the matter, you can check out these articles, which present very reasonable, sound arguments. 1. PC MAG – How...
Over the past decade and a half or so, fear has been created around hanging a TV over the fireplace. This used to be true with plasma TVs, but plasma technology isn’t really used anymore. Generally, you can very safely hang your TV over the fireplace. The only thing you need to make sure of is that the temperature of the area below the TV stays und...
Ok I’ll admit that full motion and extendable tv arms can be super handy, but they are also super ugly. 🤣 Having your giant TV hanging midair is not a great look. Ideally, your television’s wall mount is as invisible as possible. But if you must resort to using one of those TV arms, at least try to use the least visually invasive one you can find....
Dec 19, 2019 · The more TV we watch the more we prefer thinner female bodies, according to a new study on body image. The researchers are calling on TV and advertising bosses to show people of all shapes and sizes in order to reduce the pressure on women and girls to aspire to a ‘thin ideal body’.
Sep 1, 2010 · The correlation between media image and body image has been proven; in one study, among European American and African American girls ages 7 - 12, greater overall television exposure predicted both a thinner ideal adult body shape and a higher level of disordered eating one year later.
Traditional media like film, print and music still have a significant impact on young people’s body image. Research has found that even news coverage can promote weight bias by how it portrays people in larger bodies, both in photographs and in how it frames weight and health.
Nov 28, 2014 · This study attempts to bring some clarity to the relationships among genre-related television (TV) exposure, body image perceptions and body dissatisfaction.

Oct 28, 2010 · October 28, 2010. Most of the time, when we are talking about television and other media influencing body image, we are talking about the pretty, skinny women. In this case, a controversy was started by a new television show on CBS called "Mike and Molly," about an overweight (I don't have their BMI stats, but they could very well be obese ...
