Discover the Ottoman TV Lift — An Alternative to Mounting the TV Above Your Fireplace
As the colder weather sets in and fireplaces come back to life, a common home design debate returns:
Should you mount your TV above the fireplace?
While it may seem like a neat solution, there are a few solid reasons to think twice. Mounting your TV above a fireplace can expose it to heat, force you into an awkward viewing angle, and limit how you style your space.
If you’re searching for a smarter, more flexible alternative, the Ottoman TV Lift from Definition Automation could be exactly what your home needs.
Why Mounting Your TV Above the Fireplace Isn’t Ideal
Mounting a screen above a fireplace is often considered a space-saving choice—but it can come with hidden downsides:
-
Excess heat can shorten your TV’s lifespan
-
Poor ergonomics, as you’ll be constantly looking up
-
Design restrictions, as the fireplace and TV compete for attention
-
TVs are best viewed at eye level—not above it.
