How do I create balance between the fireplace and TV in a living room?

Create balance between the fireplace and TV by placing the TV in a shallow nook and reserving the fireplace wall for art or a mirror. Design a media wall with base cabinets and flanking shelves in the nook for symmetry and storage. Keep the TV panel neutral in tone to blend with existing decor. This arrangement avoids visual competition, preserves sightlines, and maintains comfortable viewing angles. Providing a clear traffic path around these elements enhances room flow and harmony.
