One of the first things you will need to do when designing your home theater is decide on the placement of your television. You can get a special mount to mount your flat careen TV on the wall. The problem for some is that most people do not really like looking up at the television. Instead you may want to consider a specially designed flat screen TV console. Modern Tv consoles are similar to the designs of old. You can buy a cabinet variety that has the television front and center with cubby holes for the DVD player and other accessories. If you do not have that much stuff then you may want to consider a simple TV stand instead. A TV stand can be very simple or it can also have some storage space, being like a small cabinet with a place for the TV on top. If you have a fire place another option is mounting the TV above the fire place. This can give the room a very nice feel to help relax in the evenings.
