Hanging The TV Over Bedroom Dresser

We love to watch the evening news as we fall asleep and let the timer turn the TV off. However, if the TV sits on top of your dresser at the foot of the bed, it may not be high enough to view comfortably.

With the TV sitting on the cable box it just was way too low to view without multiple pillows.

Then we got rid of the cable box and upgraded to the wifi system, but still the TV was a problem. I tried to make it better by adding decorative boxes for it to sit on. That still made it way too low.

So we decided the best thing was to hang it on the wall. We used several large books and boxes to find out just how high it needed to be so it was at a comfortable viewing height when we were lying down in bed. Then hubby got busy and attached all the brackets. Now what to do with those wires. He found a white coil system that encased the wires that worked really well. We bought it at Fry’s Electronics but I am sure it is available online too. It is JT&T Flex Guard Convoluted Tubing – 3/8″split seam – 10 ft. I think it comes in different sizes and black too. Ours was only $3.99.

Our wires pulled together were a little off center, but I think that makes it easier to create a vignette on top of the dresser. My decor can be on the side rather than having to have something right in the middle to hide wires.

Now to figure out a couple of vignettes that might work with my current decor. I always like flowers, so this works.

Something a little more masculine is what I think I like best. Something tall that hides the wire and then arrange everything else around it. I love these two grass spheres and they always look pretty next to something green. Books are a favorite accessory too.

Having the TV at the right height above the dresser for easy viewing from the bed makes it so much nicer. We are enjoying watching the TV now and wonder why we didn’t hang it sooner.

How about you, do you have a TV in the bedroom?
