A shared-view living room that keeps the window useful

How can a narrow open-plan living room keep one shared TV view without blocking the kitchen or fireplace?

Treat the window wall as the media wall. A low shallow console and a fixed tabletop TV stand keep the screen centered while the sofa faces it. The result is a deliberate sightline: the sofa, fireplace chair and kitchen can all participate without pushing furniture into the route.

Center the television at the window, face the sofa toward it, and use low-profile sound and light so the kitchen and fireplace still belong to the room.

Arrange the five pieces

Place the console directly in front of the window, keep the TV centered on its stand, and put the soundbar below the screen. Use the small rechargeable light bars under the console or around the media zone for evening glow. Let the large neutral rug anchor the sofa while stopping short of the fireplace and kitchen passage.

Measure before ordering

Measure the window wall, the TV width and the sofa-to-screen distance before moving anything. Confirm the console depth does not reduce the walkway, the stand supports the TV's VESA pattern, and the rug leaves a clear path to the kitchen and fireplace.
