This babcock ranch client in Punta Gorda Florida wanted to install a t.v. in the master bathroom. The design was initially a t.v. on the wall. But we discussed resale value of an entertainment feature wall along with personal enjoyment while also adding function . We opened the wall to put the electrical in needed locations for this build and the thick blocking for attaching the t.v. bracket with lag bolts.
After the skeletal needs were in place, the new shiplap skin could be installed. Trim added around the window and the trim changed out on the doorway gave a more uniform appearance to this home upgrade.
The DVD player required a wider shelf , thus we put it above the t.v. where it would be out of the way for the limited walk space at the foot of the bed. The mantle kept tight to the wall with a 6 inch jut out allows enough space to have the soundbar and Alexa cube.
Design of a build is not just about what the build surface is to have in attributes. It's also about what the rest of the living space allows with the limitation factors surrounding the build space.
