while a TV against the wall is best, if you can't there are ways to make a corner TV look better!

    My household has the tv on a rolling tv stand, so it can be adjusted to who or where someone is on the couch, as well as what activity they are using it for. Whether we want it full view for a family movie, facing a specific seat on the rather large corner couch for solo viewing, or closer to the corner of the corner couch for playing video games with friend or family since that’s usually not as many people as a movie and some games necessitate the console being within a certain range for the controllers to work effectively, or farther away from the couch for when you need more space for activities like VR games, such as Beat Saber for instance with people taking turns and watching on as each player plays a song. And since it’s on wheels it can also be rolled back against the wall when we aren’t using it. We can even face it towards the dining room table should the need arise(most of us are multitaskers at heart and sometimes enjoy watching something while doing table related activities like puzzles or crafts or even just paperwork

    TV was invented after fang shui. The screen should always be head on, because keeping the head turned for long periods of time blocks the flow of chi in the neck. Also the screen should never be back lit by a bright source of light such as a window, as this causes headaches.

    I live in a smaller space so I actually can’t have my couch go against a wall bc then I’d either have my back to the front door or there would be no room for the tv.
    I did turn the couch around to the command position though, so I can now see the room/front door and it kinda creates a barrier wall between the living & dining room, but it’s not in the pathway of the front door to the dining room/kitchen. It looks so much better imo & makes my space feel a lot bigger.
    I can probably get a long rectangular bookshelf to put behind the couch as well to create even more of a barrier wall.
