"Really, more and more young people are starting to stop having tvs in the living room!"
A few years ago, I took advantage of my social nb syndrome to launch a small survey on the "TV-free living room" in the "Live Fan Round Table", the circle of friends, and the friend group, and perhaps you were also involved in reading this article.
The total number of people surveyed was 237, mostly in the 80-95 section.
The results show that more than 50% of people say that the "TV-free living room" is really fragrant! 30% said that if given another chance, I would consider doing a "TV-free living room" design;
20% don't think about a TV-free living room at all, mainly considering living with their parents or needing a high-definition big screen to play games.
This result may be biased from everyone's understanding, but to tell the truth, this trend is becoming more and more obvious for young people, and today I will talk to you about this article according to my own survey:
· Why are more and more people choosing a TV-free living room?
· Where is the TV-free living room incense?
· How to do a tv-free living room?
Why
More and more people are choosing a TV-free living room?
Don't get me wrong, the TV-free living room is not really no TV, but "more than TV".
In traditional Chinese families, the living room area is definitely the largest in the home, although it undertakes many functions such as "family reunion, reception of relatives and friends, and children playing here".
The traditional living room centered on "TV", the standard "TV background wall + coffee table + large sofa", the layout is dull, but also wasted wall space, the back of the time found that there is no place to put a lot of things, storage is seriously insufficient!
Take my family, an eighteen-tier city with a total area of 120 square meters and a living room area of about 35 square meters, but the bulky sofa and the coffee table that requires two people to push occupy one-third of the living room area.
Stuff is stuffed under the coffee table when there is no place to put it, and the legs are kissed on the four corners of the coffee table, leaving bruises is the norm.
Tv is more like a decoration, open no more than 3 times a year, at most during the New Year to set off the atmosphere (there are elderly people in the family who ignore this sentence).

In contrast, today's young people, there are 100 reasons not to install a TV!
Projectors, enjoying solitude, playing games and reading are all reasons, but for families who rely on TV, let the TV change places, go to the restaurant to the bedroom, or move, when you want to watch, it is also a good solution!
Isn't it more fragrant to let the living room get rid of the rigid routine and be more in line with the lifestyle of young people?
Where is the TV-free living room incense?
Whether it is a real case of thousands of households living in a fan, or a blogger with a high praise rate on a book, "no TV living room design" can not escape these three characteristics, anti-traditional layout, the flexibility of the space becomes higher, and the utilization rate increases in a large area.

Here's a reminder to everyone, don't copy the case of no TV background wall on the Internet.
This label sometimes allows you to pay for new materials such as curtain wall panels, marble, and large tiles, and then it is only the pursuit of good looks and does not pay attention to storage, for us ordinary people, the practical effect is not good.
If you want to get a practical and good-looking "TV-free living room" strategy, you can directly pull down to the third part of the "liberation wall for storage".
Anti-traditional layout
Compared with the traditional living room of the "sofa coffee table TV" old three, the TV-free living room layout is more free in the combination of these three things, TV, sofa is dispensable, but the probability is not a coffee table.
For example, in the real case of the owner of the house, Yingzi, after passing through the corridor, it is a typical horizontal hall.
Pictured by Fan Er
The owner used only a dark green double sofa to separate the living room from the dining room without leaning against the wall, while adding at least half a meter of the straight-line distance from the wall to the TV cabinet, plus there was no coffee table and a rotatable TV.
The living room looks directly larger and can accommodate at least 6 people to chat at the same time.
Even if you want to have a baby in the future, this living room is enough for the baby to crawl around, and with the growth of the baby, you can also directly do subtraction, remove the sofa carpet, and the activity space is larger.
The flexibility of the space has become higher, and there are more scenes that can be accommodated
The second is the biggest feature of "TV-free living room design", which is obvious from everyone's message, basically the starting point for consideration is to make room for children to move more activities, or to sing fitness and sing, and the whole family reads books together.
Although it is not a broad appeal that every family can copy homework, everyone can use every 1㎡ in the home to the extreme.
Families with babies, the living room can become a play area for children, and the baby is not noisy;
People living alone or couples, can make a projection as a private audio-visual area, fitness to watch movies at home to treat social phobia;
If you have the appeal of reading or learning, swing the big table and make progress together.
How to do a tv-free living room?
According to the common needs, we summarize some rules for you in the order of → the top of the wall →.
Use projection instead of or hidden TV, and watch movies more coolly
This is also the most direct feedback in everyone's message, as long as there is a big white wall, the whole wall is your screen, this cool feeling really who uses who knows!
However, there is a saying that when the curtains are not pulled in broad daylight, the effect of the projector really cannot be compared with the TV.
If you want to store, play, and watch movies, you can refer to the practice of the owner kiko, reserve the curtain box in advance at the position of 35cm against the wall on the roof, or make a ceiling hidden curtain, and the curtain behind the curtain is the same as the normal TV background wall.

Liberate the wall for storage
Whether it is with latex paint or various materials on the wall, the decorative effect is greater than the practical effect.
For small apartments with a small area, having a complete wall for storage is the best solution to solve the problem of having more things in the home and not having a place, which everyone tacitly acknowledges.
But how to make the custom cabinet of the whole wall practical and good-looking?
In the case of unified door panel material, the book introduces three schemes, the first "eight methods of collection, two dew" law, this principle is mainly for storage, considering practicality, in the change of seasonal clothes, kitchen tableware, the layout of the book are very applicable.
If you have a lot of stuff at home, you can choose a half-open and half-exposed top cabinet.
The second is "the combination of virtual and real, less is more."
If you want others to see something at first glance (commonly known as the visual center), make that part of the key display, the area of the display does not exceed one-third of the total area, but remember to show fewer items, fine, disorderly, chaotic as far as possible to cover up.
The practical use of this depends on each homeowner's own preferences.
For example, our Shanghai fan Lulu has referred to this, the suspended hanging cabinet to the top, in one-third of the lower middle hollowed out half for the display of items, the bottom of the cabinet to the ground, leaving no sanitary dead ends.
The following photo is her family just moved in to release formaldehyde temporarily put green plants ~ ~

Find a few more real people's cases that we have sent before, the first one is very similar to Lulu's house, and the second one is reversed, putting the key books on display to the top, and the area is basically one-third.

The third point is to display it in an all-bright and orderly manner, which is more common in bookstores, and it is also suitable for people who have a lot of collections at home and love to read books, but the aroma of books at home is directly full.
The height between the grids, usually there are two kinds, one is 25-30cm, and the other is 35-40cm, depending on whether you want to enlarge the book or the small book, the width is determined according to your preferences.

However, this all-revealing way is a test of the owner's aesthetic and patience.
If the naked display is more than 3 things, it is very full, it is easier to appear chaotic, and it will fall into ashes and be difficult to take care of, which I really understand.
The following is Yoyo's own home in Beijing, 16 years ago that did the whole wall of the full Ming display bookshelf, books put dissatisfied began to pile up handmade, cosmetics, as well as cups received from all over the place, more and more things, it is more and more chaotic, everyone must not learn from me.

In contrast, in the real case, miss Han's book wall is very practical, the bottom layer is made into a closed floor-to-ceiling drawer, there is no sanitary dead end, and the above is uniformly made into a 60x35x35cm open grid, which is good-looking and practical!

If you don't have much at home and like the fully exposed cabinet, you can refer to the designer Wang Fan's home to make an open grid of half a wall, and the height is about one-third of the overall wall.

The above practice requires custom plates, costing between about 8000-10000, if you want to save money, go directly to the official website of IKEA to search for Bo Axel, which can be moved on the wall to assemble the shelf.
Cheap and easy to use, but also can do full minglu.

Hanging pictures increases the sense of spatial layering
Hanging painting is the simplest wall solution, but the truth is the most test of the aesthetic ability of the owner, the style of the painting, the size of the frame, the material of the frame determine the value of the first glance in your living room!
Fan Er house owner Quan Lin sister is very good, her home is only 35 square meters, the master bedroom hard concave a small living room, the wall hanging painting is worth learning.
Take the height of the person standing parallel to the human eye as the visual center, determine the position of the sofa, draw the junction line, and combine it in an orderly manner according to the proportion of the picture frame and the size of the painting, but the whole is still a square.
Note that this 1.6m is determined by height, and is normal between 1.5-1.7m to be precise.
These details have actually been written specifically, the hanging method of the painting, the choice, and even the minimalist, extremely complicated style are involved, if you have not read it, take a look at the following two articles:
Hanging a picture low to burst? Please, you didn't get to these points!
Even a high-level home can't stand the waste of earthy hanging paintings!
Painting plus picture frame is still very heavy, it is also important to choose the appropriate hanging method, although the traceless nails are good-looking, but the load-bearing force is limited, combined with the wall or to be used cautiously!
Furniture placement is more casual
The three major pieces of the living room can be moved, can be combined at will, and can also find lighter furniture instead, the TV is said alone.
There are many things that need to be stored and miscellaneous, you can choose a side table instead of a coffee table against the wall, and the new home that the lion is installing is like this.

There are not many things, only a few keys, toilet paper boxes or a small number of books, choose small furniture that can be moved, and it is better to put it against the sofa and against the wall, such as:
The figure originated from a treasure
A movable piece of furniture covers an area of less than 1 square meter, and the wall does not occupy the center space of the living room, which is more likely to appear large.
The sofa should choose a single or double sofa that is easy to move, which looks lighter and thinner, and if the home is a horizontal hall, it can also be used as a functional area division.

If there are children at home, the sofa can also be unwanted, laying wooden floors, with a large area of carpet to run more refreshing, will not bump.

In order to clean up well, easy to clean, no matter which alternative method, either land without leaving the ground foot, or hang to the ground at least 25cm height, convenient for robot cleaning.
The TV is removable and hidden
To do it hidden and invisible, the first way is to cover, set the SIZE of the TV in advance, and the TV background wall is integrated in the custom cabinet, and covered with a sliding door or swing door.
However, no matter how to hide, you need to increase the door panel and movable hardware, the price will be at least 1,000 yuan more expensive than the normal custom cabinet.
The second method is open clothing, choosing a slim TV disguised as a decorative painting fixed in a custom cabinet, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

There are also two ways to move, the first is like the above-mentioned Yingzi home, directly choose the mobile bracket that can be fixed on the wall.
It should be noted that this practice needs to be determined before the installation of the custom cabinet, the wall is a load-bearing wall, which can be conveniently implanted in advance with steel wire screw reinforcement, the larger the TV, the yingzi home TV is 65 inches, plus 3 screws.
The way to save trouble and spend less money is to buy this kind of floor-to-ceiling mobile bracket that can be moved away at any time on a treasure, and the bracket is not ugly, and it looks good at home.
The only thing that can't be avoided is that the TV line will be exposed outside, which is ugly.
The figure on the left is from a treasure
However, the bracket has load-bearing requirements for the TV, basically the weight bearing of more than 40kg is no problem, and some can also adjust the height.
Below I picked 3 models according to the appearance and price of a treasure, and the cheapest one is only 168 yuan.

From left to right, the prices are 899 yuan, 689 yuan and 168 yuan, respectively
Magnetic track light + floor lamp for movable lighting
The final icing on the cake is to complete the lighting layout of the TV-free living room through a movable light source, and according to the overall length of the living room, the embedded track is embedded at the top in advance, and the embedded track is 80cm-1m away from the wall to do the magnetic track.
Even if the light is directly hit against the wall, the reflected light is very soft; for the display area on the hanging painting or the custom cabinet, it will be moved to the corresponding position through the track to be more focused.

Magnetic track lights solve the problem of wall lighting, but if you still like to read at a large desk, lie on the sofa to brush the drama, with a floor lamp will be more fragrant, the big lion home is like this, "the lights are scattered, there are light and dark."

What we want is not bright, it is the feeling that is exclusive to their own small space, you say right~
Finally finished talking about the "TV-free living room layout", let's summarize:
· First consider storage and then say whether to TV or not, storage will do a custom cabinet through the top, follow the law of two eight;
· There can also be a TV in the living room without a TV, and the TV is hidden through a projector or cabinet door, or choose to support it with a mobile bracket;
· Do not like the big white wall to do by hanging paintings to increase the sense of layering, can be symmetrical, or radial, do not exceed 5 spokes;
· The purchase of furniture should choose thin feet, easy to move, and can be combined at will;
· Finally, the movable lighting is arranged by a combination of magnetic track lights and floor lamps.
