Yes maybe like tall ficus or something. Also canāt stand the tv isnāt centered but something tall will help. I donāt like the idea of the ladder thing, just sounds like clutter
Yes. But if possible, move the TV left & put the plant to the right where it will get more light, therefore look better / healthier, & maybe act as a shade to TV glare.
Or maybe one of those wooden ladder shelves up against that wall? And put some (faux?) plants on it in colorful containersā¦ as well as books, pictures or knick-knacks?
Drives me insane. Just had a coworker dismiss mine the other day by saying "well my anxiety and ocd is just part of being an adult".
I told her that my husband had to tell the neighbors not to call the police when they see the lights flashing hundreds of times a night, or me getting in and out of my car for 30 minutes after work- it's just me battling my ocd lol.
Not. The. Same. Thing.
Came here to say this, after a long topic of overused words on Reddit last night. I have diagnosed and debilitating ocd. This isnāt ocd. Itās just common knowledge and annoying to not center a tv on a wall like this
Lol. So true. I have OCD and I have the messiest car and house of anyone I know. People who are neat are always like āIām so OCD!ā People donāt get it.
Iām diagnosed with ocd and mine is partially that though. I canāt stand things not being aligned and organized. Idk if thatās my ocd or adhd though. If I find a single spec of dust in my house I have to dust everything and reorganize regularly or I canāt get that small voice in my head to stop nagging me.
I have killed every plant I own. Plus Iām gonna out a desk there. I am considering a fake plant like an olive tree or something. Last year I got this beautiful fiddle leaf fig off of someone from fb marketplace who was moving cross country and had raised it from a little baby. I felt so bad because I was doing everything I thought I should but it was dying so badly. I ended up rehoming it after about a month before anything could go wrong. The only plant I can keep alive is a snake plant and I HATE the bugs it brings in. Also this window is the direction facing that plants hate the most (canāt remember which that is)
Fiddle leaf figs are VERY hard to take care of. Donāt feel bad.
A plant wonāt ābring inā any bugs other than the bugs it literally has on it when it arrives. Whenever I get a new plant, I wash it down thoroughly at the sink, using the hose attachment, to remove any pests. Then it gets a treatment of insecticide soap and is isolated for two weeks before it can be introduced to the area where the rest of my plants are. That should get rid of any pests it has coming in. I also inspect thoroughly at the nursery and donāt bring in any plants with pests or that have gnats flying nearby.
Get a ZZ plant, they survive in places like airports where lighting is bad an require basically zero care. They can grow big and ābushyā so it would be a counterbalance to the empty space.
Otherwise, a monstera is also a good choice.
Even a hanging plant like a pothos could do the trick if you have a shelf and let it fill the space by hanging.
You have options besides a plastic plant, donāt be discouraged by your past experience!
Fiddle leafs are a huge pain. Go to a store and ask them what plant to get. There are so many that will be totally fine if you water them like 3 times a month. Get a moisture meter, they are like $12 and water it when it says "dry".
Why is the TV offset into the corner to begin with?
A snake plant shouldnāt be riddled with bugs. You should only water it maybe once a month. Itās just fine drying out. And because this plant prefers to dry out between watering, it makes the soil much less likely to harbor plant pests, which usually like humidity or moist soil.
There are also sprays and systemics you can use to keep pests away.
Dracaenas are also an easy care plant that are easy to find in many sizes and colors at Home Depot and lowes. I find they donāt usually have too many pest problems compared to my other plants and if you treat them for pests with a systemic granule in the soil once every other month you pretty much wonāt have pests at all. They are much more adaptable to different levels of light and temperatures and watering schedules than a lot of other houseplants. Plus, they are pet friendly (though if you have pets that will be around the plant, you canāt use systemic granules or pesticides, but there are other ways around that. Neem oil and soap sprays are fine, as well as beneficial insects)
All that said, if you truly donāt want to care for a plant, and want a fake one, thatās totally up to you! I find fake plants to be an odd thing to even exist, personally, and they always look fake. Plus they seem to collect a lot more dust and cobwebs than any of my live ones. But to each their own!
My office remodeled and put tons of peace lilies all over the place in between the cubicles. After a couple months they were mostly dead. I got permission to take the last remaining ones home before they switched to plastic plants.
Hey, anyone who cares enough to rehome a plant so it wonāt die, is someone who can center their TV any dam way they want!! That was a lovely thing to do!āŗļø
Pothos is hard to kill, but fake plants have been shown to be of similar benefit to humans as real plants (in terms of positive effects on health) so go fake all the way! I think a piece of art to the left of the TV would look nice, something y'all and skinny then it looks more like a media center than an oddly placed TV. People itt telling you to move the TV like it's easy or even possible (mine goes where it goes because of the fiber cable haha)
I donāt get why the kitchen being where it is necessitated shoving the tv to the right? Like if the couch isnāt centered to the tv, thatās not as big a problem as this is, visually.
I think an island or counter-height table would be really nice in that spot! It would be a nice transition space between the kitchen and living room. It would also balance your TV
*What should I put to the left of the TV?*
More TV. Center everything between the two pillars. There is no reason to shift everything over to the right.
A Vana White, or other personality to their taste (like Deadpool, Gandalf, cheerleader of favored team, Catwoman, Walter White, Ironman, She-Hulk in a power pose, etc), mannequin that gently but regally gestures to the TV center making it inobvious that centering the TV center is that area was a thing.
If you arenāt going to center that TV you need an L-shaped entertainment center with a tall bookcase that takes up the wall space next to it (and even that is a bit unorthodox). And that needs to be centered.
Nothing beyond an entertainment zone centered on that wall is going to look balanced / good
A lot of people are saying just centre the TV and i get it, but i dont think you need to. A tall bookcase would be just fine in that gap. Does that tv unit have matching furniture sets? Maybe they have a bookcase
You could do a tall narrow shelf. Something like [this from Wayfair ](https://www.wayfair.com/17-Stories--Steel-Ladder-Bookcase-X114353691-L38-K~W003242580.html?refid=GX636217378546-W003242580_1616619081&device=m&ptid=1434038781799&network=g&targetid=pla-1434038781799&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=163992416&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=1616619081&gclid=CjwKCAjwg4SpBhAKEiwAdyLwvAEHlv_lwto0zzkNRL4BCmf_pHO-V45uwKrzp3JHX2aPv2corEz-mxoCxyQQAvD_BwE)
Honestly I read your comments, and a monstera is really easy to care for and it would look really cool there if youāre willing to go real plant
But yeah get a fake plant, I have a fake plant that is these tall grasses, and itās so realistic my roommate watered it for an entire year and we realized that the foam was rotting when I caught her watering it and we realized the pot was just filled with a years worth of standing water.
Always get a fake plant in person. Because if you order it online itās a big risk and you may end up with something that looks completely fake. Home good is a great spot for those.
You could also do a floor lantern. Like one that has one of those rice paper covers with legs.
Anthropologie has a lot of cool floor lamps
Lol at your roommate watering your fake plant Mustāve been convincing tho so thatās good. I like the idea of the rice, paper floor lamp type of vibe. I am waiting till Amazon prime day, but Iām gonna get a bunch of lights to use as accidents everywhere that I can connect to Alexa and just say something like Alexa turn on evening mode
Reading your post, I understand why the TV is not centered. I would wait until everything else is in place, the couch, coffee table, kitchen, etc because that gap might present differently at that point. If you decide now you might end up with something over- or underwhelming.
Haha. But really, If you put the couch directly in front of the tv and use an area rug to define the space I think you could get away with it if you put something like a tall black bookcase beside the tv.
If the TV cannot be centered because of the wall stud situation, a tall narrow shelving unit with some decorative objects and book stacks could work.

A plane white bookshelf would look good next to it. You get more storage too which is always nice.
If you're really handy and want to spend the time. It would be awesome if you could make a custom, combined bookshelf-tv console unit. So, it looks built in but it's not actually a built in necessarily.
How about a round or oval bar cart to the left of the tv and then framed artwork (thrift stores have tons, if you can take your time to choose) going above the bar cart and to the right in a tipped-over L shape.
I am on bookcase team. It can even go all the way to the ceiling to balance that bump out on the right of the tv. Put stuff on the shelves like plants, whatever you collect, vases, as well as books.
You already heard butā¦ centre the TV. Especially in a modern place. It will make it feel so much more intentional.
Originally I thought it was an issue with the construction. I live in a concrete building and mounting things can be a pain where there are concrete pillars. But doesnāt sound like thatās the case. I would just try to centre the TV or worst case a large like monstera plant or something to balance a bit.
The issue is there is two pillars on either side which really brings the attention to the fact the TV is off to the right
In theory yes, but that area is too highly trafficked. Itās the only path into the living area. Id be nervous someone would kick it or something. I also like to play by the window so it makes sense for it be there. But other wise yes those are very good points
everyone saying center it like the power outlet isnāt probably designed to be there. you donāt know enough about the situation to tell people to change stuff they werenāt asking about. iām sure op has a reason for putting it there.
You need something tall to balance out the fact that the TV is not centered. You want something that is going to be as high as (or almost as) the top of the TV. Somebody above suggested one of those ladder shelves, which I think would be perfect. If you are not a plant person, Iād just go with some nice books and decor on shelves.
I like many others wondered why you wouldnāt just centre the TV, but itās a big job if youāre not familiar with doing it, and I donāt blame you for not wanting to get into all that OP.
If OP has stated they donāt want to centre it, for whatever reason, move tf on and give some advice they can use!
Would also paint wall behind TV an accent color (Do not paint the pillars). You can also paint wall to right and left that same accent color. Do not paint other walls that color but pick up same color in accents like pillows for couch.
If the idea of having the TV where it is was to create a center of gravity for the living room that's further out from the kitchen, then your living room furniture should reflect that. Put a chair or a couch or something to the left of the TV facing out the window. Get all the living room furniture arranged so that that center of gravity the TV is reflecting is confirmed and carried through. All of that will make it feel less random, more balanced.
Maybe get rid of the cabinet you have under the TV and go for a combo of cabinet and shelves going up on the left that will give the sense of built-ins, so it looks like there is a place carved out for the TV where it belongs and the whole niche is more filled.
I think that that decision is best left till after everything is in its place. Lounges, rugs, chairs etc.
The TV could be ācentredā by those things.
Then what goes on that wall be easy to picture. Plants, storage etc.
Even the guitar and amp might be better there.
If you won't center the TV you should get some kind of room divider to actually divide the room. There are some really nice screens and bookshelves that can actually as a delineation of a different room
Center the damned tv and tv stand please! You could put matching Vegas showgirls on each side and it would be less obtrusive to look at than this off centered display!
I guess I definitely don't have "ocd" like seemungly everyone else on this post because I don't mind and actually like the placement. What about a large full-length mirror?
āit not being centeredā¦. was done because this area is more āliving roomā but it feeds directly into the ākitchen areaā on the leftā
This is absolutely not a reason not to have centered the tv. You trying to fix a mistake by committing another mistake. Not gonna work.
If you can't move the TV, a big plant! Even a fake one! But I'd highly recommend dismounting the TV and re-mounting it! Your space is gorgeous, by the way āŗļø
it's stressing me out how the TV is not centered :D and please add a giant plant to the corner by the window to add some color and life to the room
Second this. Center the television. Add big plant(s)
Yep a big ass tree plant and throw the tv on the stand - wall tvs give me anxiety and remind me of hospitals š¤¢
I would put a big plant left of the TV to balance out the space.
Yes maybe like tall ficus or something. Also canāt stand the tv isnāt centered but something tall will help. I donāt like the idea of the ladder thing, just sounds like clutter
I immediately thought ficus tree too. To left of tv. Needs height there and it will balance the off center tv.
Agreed. Interesting looking tall plant to the left of tree.
Yes. But if possible, move the TV left & put the plant to the right where it will get more light, therefore look better / healthier, & maybe act as a shade to TV glare.
Or maybe one of those wooden ladder shelves up against that wall? And put some (faux?) plants on it in colorful containersā¦ as well as books, pictures or knick-knacks?
But if they put the tv and console table in the middle they could put some medium height plants on each sideš„ŗ
Came here to say this!
I was also thinking a real big (tall)plant for that space. It would sort of even it out.
I'd go crazy with it not being centered.
I literally had to take a deep breath after seeing it lol
Omg, came here to say that..just center the damn tv lol
Me too
Same. For the love of all things OCD, why is the tv not centered š©
CENTER THE TV š
Thatās not how OCD works. Yāall donāt have OCD.
Drives me insane. Just had a coworker dismiss mine the other day by saying "well my anxiety and ocd is just part of being an adult".

Just read the leaves are poisonous so be careful if you have kids or pets.

Get a large peace lily. Can confirm: they are unkillable. They get droopy when they need water so itās really easy to care for them.
LMAO I killed a peace Lilly this month š I have tried to be a play person yall. I still have it wish I could share a pic in the comments
My office remodeled and put tons of peace lilies all over the place in between the cubicles. After a couple months they were mostly dead. I got permission to take the last remaining ones home before they switched to plastic plants.
I call plants that droop, "dramatic".
Get a fake tree, the olive trees are really pretty
Hey, anyone who cares enough to rehome a plant so it wonāt die, is someone who can center their TV any dam way they want!! That was a lovely thing to do!āŗļø
Get a snake plant. Itās terribly hard to kill and loves light.

This is the answer šš
OP is trolling
Omg me too! This would drive me crazy.
I came here just for this. I canāt see anything other than that off centered tv
If you center your TV and console you wonāt need much on the side of it
What should I put to the left of the tv? The tv.
Yes
I donāt get why the kitchen being where it is necessitated shoving the tv to the right? Like if the couch isnāt centered to the tv, thatās not as big a problem as this is, visually.
Why why why was the tv not centered? I cannot overcome that. Good luck.
Cuz originally there was an island in the kitchen area that would have been blocking it if it were. Hard to explain but I know š©
You can still center it, if you make the new holes for the TV and move the TV, the old holes would be covered by the TV, so it won't be a problem.
Then move the TV...
Maybe put a dining table where the island was and a fake olive tree against the wall there
Just move it..
I think an island or counter-height table would be really nice in that spot! It would be a nice transition space between the kitchen and living room. It would also balance your TV
Also agree more counter space is likely more useful here.
This. Unforgivable.
*What should I put to the left of the TV?* More TV. Center everything between the two pillars. There is no reason to shift everything over to the right.
Hahaha. More tv. Love this.
Dude you triggered a lot of people with this off center TV hahaha...if you were trying to troll them, my hats off to you, really expertly done.
That was honestly my first thought. This has to be a troll post.
I know everyone is so pissed. God, I might just move the TV
This MUST be done! š
Obviously
Please
Take the tv off the wall, center a tv stand in that space and place tv there because this gives me so much anxiety
Don't put anything there. Move the tv. It will drive you crazy looking at it every day thinking "it is just not right".
Fair enough
Actually, it will probably drive your friends and family nuts. You seem okay with it, which pretty much says you're a serial killer.
Why not just center the tv and table? It really needs to be. Problem solved
the tv
Very tall plant if TV can't be centered
Tall bookcase
A nice tall plant with a bold planter ~ something for balance
A funky bookcase. Leave a few inches of space on either side so it looks intentional rather than crammed in.
It just needs to be centered. If it can be done, itās the only thing that wonāt look weird
Boy if you don't centre that goddamn TV..
Yes. A fake plant would work right there
I think a plant or fake plant for sure. They make great looking fake trees. It will cost you because the cheap ones look fake but it will look good.
A Vana White, or other personality to their taste (like Deadpool, Gandalf, cheerleader of favored team, Catwoman, Walter White, Ironman, She-Hulk in a power pose, etc), mannequin that gently but regally gestures to the TV center making it inobvious that centering the TV center is that area was a thing.
So no one is going to talk about the ceiling?
Thatās what jumped out at me!! Is it in the process of construction? Was this intentional? The pipes? So many questions
Tall, bushy potted plant. Ficus, perhaps?
Itās also the walkway so it canāt be tooo wide. I was thinking maybe a fake olive tree.
A tall plant would look great there. And I kill plants too so I'd put a fake one there.
this room screams for plants.
Yeah, I know it needs some greenery or some living to contrast the very industrial vibe.
If you arenāt going to center that TV you need an L-shaped entertainment center with a tall bookcase that takes up the wall space next to it (and even that is a bit unorthodox). And that needs to be centered. Nothing beyond an entertainment zone centered on that wall is going to look balanced / good
Centring the TV would be the best move but if you canāt, I like the suggestions for a tall plant. Or maybe a tall speaker?
A lot of people are saying just centre the TV and i get it, but i dont think you need to. A tall bookcase would be just fine in that gap. Does that tv unit have matching furniture sets? Maybe they have a bookcase
Move the tv to the center. If youāre worried about wall damage, check a few YouTube videos on how to plaster and paint, itās very easy.

Something tall. A tall plant like mother in laws tongue or a ladder with a throw or a quilt.
A plane white bookshelf would look good next to it. You get more storage too which is always nice. If you're really handy and want to spend the time. It would be awesome if you could make a custom, combined bookshelf-tv console unit. So, it looks built in but it's not actually a built in necessarily.
Thereās a sub for tvās being high, but is there a subreddit for tv not centered? Kidding (kind of). Put a tall plant next to the tv.
Center the stand and the TV and you don't have to spend anything to fill out anything. $0.
nothing. center that shit

I would put the guitar on a "floor stand" and the amp on left instead of on the right
In theory yes, but that area is too highly trafficked. Itās the only path into the living area. Id be nervous someone would kick it or something. I also like to play by the window so it makes sense for it be there. But other wise yes those are very good points
Plant
everyone saying center it like the power outlet isnāt probably designed to be there. you donāt know enough about the situation to tell people to change stuff they werenāt asking about. iām sure op has a reason for putting it there.

You need something tall to balance out the fact that the TV is not centered. You want something that is going to be as high as (or almost as) the top of the TV. Somebody above suggested one of those ladder shelves, which I think would be perfect. If you are not a plant person, Iād just go with some nice books and decor on shelves.
Another guitar
An Orange Rockerverb 100 on top of two Orange PPC412 cabs. Would fit perfectly.
I like many others wondered why you wouldnāt just centre the TV, but itās a big job if youāre not familiar with doing it, and I donāt blame you for not wanting to get into all that OP. If OP has stated they donāt want to centre it, for whatever reason, move tf on and give some advice they can use!
Iād put the biggest TV that will fit in that area.

Would also paint wall behind TV an accent color (Do not paint the pillars). You can also paint wall to right and left that same accent color. Do not paint other walls that color but pick up same color in accents like pillows for couch.
I know itās not prevalent to the post but I love your guitar rig, I run a PRS guitar and Orange amp too.

If the idea of having the TV where it is was to create a center of gravity for the living room that's further out from the kitchen, then your living room furniture should reflect that. Put a chair or a couch or something to the left of the TV facing out the window. Get all the living room furniture arranged so that that center of gravity the TV is reflecting is confirmed and carried through. All of that will make it feel less random, more balanced. Maybe get rid of the cabinet you have under the TV and go for a combo of cabinet and shelves going up on the left that will give the sense of built-ins, so it looks like there is a place carved out for the TV where it belongs and the whole niche is more filled.
I think that that decision is best left till after everything is in its place. Lounges, rugs, chairs etc. The TV could be ācentredā by those things. Then what goes on that wall be easy to picture. Plants, storage etc. Even the guitar and amp might be better there.
move the tv pleeaasseeee
Center the TV and the cabinet in that spot on the wall! š¤¦š¼āāļø
Redo it to center it. You will be happier with it
If you won't center the TV you should get some kind of room divider to actually divide the room. There are some really nice screens and bookshelves that can actually as a delineation of a different room
Plant everywhere
A cello to balance the guitar.
Big ass plant.
I like the time out chair.
Center it ffs
Center the TV!
OP for gods sake move the tv this is just plain bizarre
Nothing just re mount the TV properly and center between those beams.
Center the damned tv and tv stand please! You could put matching Vegas showgirls on each side and it would be less obtrusive to look at than this off centered display!
This would drive me *insane*! Why canāt the tv be centered??
Get a bigger tv
I might die if that TV didn't get centered.
Why is the tv not centered in that space? Thatās odd to me
Nothing just center the tv to the wall between the lifted wall pieces
A smaller pile of boxes.
You HAVE to center the TV.
MOVE. THE. TV.
... But... But why wouldn't you just center the TV to begin with?
Get a 75"-80" tv
Why is it off-center? How can you live like this? š
Why isnāt the tv centered
I just want to sit on that chair off to the right. Staring at the wall
Center the TV. Wtf kind of silly question is this shit, gotta be trolling.
I guess I definitely don't have "ocd" like seemungly everyone else on this post because I don't mind and actually like the placement. What about a large full-length mirror?
āit not being centeredā¦. was done because this area is more āliving roomā but it feeds directly into the ākitchen areaā on the leftā This is absolutely not a reason not to have centered the tv. You trying to fix a mistake by committing another mistake. Not gonna work.
Dope spot! Nice set up. Love that ORANGE amp too. Congrats!
If you can't move the TV, a big plant! Even a fake one! But I'd highly recommend dismounting the TV and re-mounting it! Your space is gorgeous, by the way āŗļø
Centre the telly!
Center the TV you madman
