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

Every house I've ever lived in has rooms with at least four walls, and no more than one fire.
Also, I'd remove any and all fireplaces (I've literally just done that in my basement), they're a stupid waste of wall space in modern homes with central heating and they're perfect ingress points for water and critters.
-
I avoid that by not having a bed in my living room, or a TV in my bedroom.
-
We don't have any modern homes in new dark ages Britain. House are built out of perforated cardboard, to the aesthetic criteria of our hereditary retard in chief, who thinks that everything should look like it was built by the Tudors. The Georgians at the latest. Houses are required to hold no heat, and require constant combustion to be applied from the newly opened north sea gas fields, in order to keep fossil fuel in pole position.

Call me reckless, but I am prepared to risk the huge safety implications of a TV at ground level.
-
Woah there, I've just spent the last half hour with the sledgehammer making a fireplace sized hole.
-
Good work, I respect a man of action.

I have a lovely tile-topped table I got from the excellent ‘Daphne’s Handbag’ on Mansfield road. It’s the only piece of furniture I bothered to bring to Straya with me. It’s a perfect TV stand, and a very nice thing, and sturdy enough that it’ll still do the job after I’ve taken it up a small hill and beaten a moderately-sized man to death with it.

Russ has never spoken so much truth as he has in this thread.
-
He’ll be building a bloody media wall next.

You punk you.

Occasionally I see people who wall mount televisions above fire places, and I always think surely that's going to end in trouble.
-
There is an entire subreddit devoted to shaming people who do this (along with other inappropriately high mounting positions).
-
"i'm shaming you, because your television is sub-optimally mounted", "Fuck off, you are just shaming yourself, dickhead".
The television in my lounge is mounted 'high', so it's not obscured by the coffee table. It's angled downwards so it's visually aligned with the seating. I am aware of no substantial problem.
Meanwhile, the arse is falling out of the world.

There are a few subs for that too, tbf.
