Preparing to sell your house can be stressful, especially when you have viewings booked and people are coming to visit your home. While it’s easy to clear away clutter and personal items, there are plenty of ways that you can stage your television for home viewings to maximise the chances of viewers taking a liking to your home.
For many, a television is the focal point of your living room, a place where the family gathers to watch their favourite shows and movies, so why not make the most out of this feature and display your TV set the best you can? In this blog, we’ll take a look at how you can set up and stage your TV when selling your home.
Should I Hide my TV during viewings?
While some people suggest hiding your television for home viewings, we believe it is an essential and functional part of the home, so why hide it when you can show it off? To avoid messy or dangerous electrical wires, you should ensure your TV is at eye level and close to a power source.
You can also choose to integrate your television on the wall not to appear bulky or in the way instead of a traditional TV stand. This way, you can make it a focal point and incorporate decor, like books, photographs or objects to create a homely feel. For those who prefer a minimalist look, you may want to consider concealing your television inside a unit or cabinet with closing doors — this is an excellent idea for families with younger children.
Using your TV as Artwork
You don’t always have to be watching something on the TV for it to be a focal point. You can add ambience to your home by displaying art on the screen through services such as YouTube or Google Photos. There are plenty of 4K videos on YouTube, such as ‘relaxing fireplace’, ‘drone film footage’ or ‘nature relaxation’ — generic and high-quality videos such as these can add real character and set the mood in your home while viewings are happening. View our range of cheap 4K TVs to benefit from these videos on your TV.

How to Turn the Eye Away from the TV in Bedrooms
To disguise the television in your bedroom, there are plenty of techniques you can use. Firstly, you can make it part of the decorating scheme, fixing it flush to a panelled surface or surrounding it with plants and foliage — this will not hide your set but make it feel seamless and part of the room.
To reduce the impact of a large TV in your bedroom, you can incorporate a bold media unit that will deflect the attention away from a wall-mounted flat screen. You should choose a unit that compliments the style of your bedroom and highlight the feature with bold decor and accessories. A sliding wardrobe or panel is also a practical solution if you want to hide your television for viewings. Not only is it a clever space-saving technique, but it will save your TV set from gathering dust when it is not in use.
Where Should I Position the TV?
Positioning your television is all about spacing — we would recommend approximately 4 feet from floor level. You should always fix, mount or sit your TV at eye level for the most comfortable viewing experience. This will save you straining your eyes or having to look up and down to see details on screen.
You should take extra care in setting up your TV away from direct sunlight as it can make it difficult to watch your favourite shows. Many people choose to tuck their TV in a corner, and by doing so, you can avoid the television dominating the room as it creates more of an open plan feel with multiple functions.
