Small hills upon which you are willing to die

I have wall mounted TVs in the kitchen and bedroom, but not in the lounge as it sits nicely in the corner. I think a wall mount would look silly.

Me too. Seems a lot of risk for a crap incompetent idiot to try and do

Edit, in reply to Charlie

How does it create more space in the room?

Mine is wall mounted in lounge but there's a shelf unit underneath for Sky box, games consoles, sound bar and dvd player (though don't remember the last time that was used). The TV could easily stand on that unit and take up no more space.

Oh no this is going to be the scooters all over again

None of those things need to be on a shelf unit underneath the TV, or even in the same room. You have them there because your adjunct appliances have always sat in the same unit as the TV, but with cables run through the wall (which is way easier in most houses than perhaps some might think) they can be anywhere. Best of all, they're wireless these days - you can control your Sky box from your phone, your games controllers are wireless and you don't need to put physical media into the console any more, and by your own admission you don't need a DVD player any more. You could put your Sky box and games console in a cupboard or out of the way somewhere, wall mount the soundbar beneath the TV, and give the DVD player to Oxfam.

I have just immeasurably improved your feng shui. You're welcome.

No one wall mounts a scooter you halfwit.

They can't go fast enough for openers. Were you not paying attention?.

Looking over the fire to watch TV just seems weird.

Common error. TVs should be mounted at eye height, so mounting over the fireplace is fine if you plan to sit on stools to watch it.

We don't have a fireplace, but we do have stools in the kitchen.

So maybe my answer is to build a fireplace.

Or you don't want your living space to look like the bedroom in a Premier Inn.
