The best TV placement for a shallow, wide living room nook is inside the nook itself. Installing the TV there maximizes the use of space while keeping the fireplace area available for art or a mirror. Adding a media wall with base cabinets and integrated wire management softens the look and keeps the area functional and visually balanced. This setup also improves viewing comfort by positioning the TV at eye level and avoids placing it above a tall mantel, which can be uncomfortable and risk heat exposure.
