11 Ways to Put a TV in the Kitchen
1. Put the TV with the other appliances.
When the TV is treated as one appliance among many on a wall, it almost becomes invisible. We love the idea of an appliance wall anyway. It just makes sense as compared to having them spread out all over the kitchen.
2. Hide it in a niche.
There's no reason you can't put a small TV on a shelf the same way one might deal with a microwave. Sometimes the simplest solution is best.
3. Hang it high.
One issue with finding a less conspicuous place for a TV in a kitchen, is that it may end up a little higher than is ideally suited to viewing. Still, a taller height can work for viewers who may be standing or watching from across the room.
4. Put it at chef's eye level.
When locating the perfect spot for your kitchen TV, think about who will be viewing it and from what location.
5. Make it viewable from the island.
Usually having the TV viewable from the island is an ideal location for the cook, the kids or guests.
6. If you have a lot of dishes to do...
Put the TV in the backsplash. We recommend a waterproof TV so it will be protected from splashing dish water.
7. The wall mounted pivoting arm option.
This looks better when it's flush up against the wall rather than at an angle on a mounting arm.
8. Tuck it into a corner.
Like we mentioned above sometimes the simplest solution is the best. A small TV in the corner can be the least noticeable option. The corner is often dead space anyway, so it's the perfect spot.
9. Drop it down.
There's always the airplane-style flip-down solution. If you can tuck these away behind a light valance it can be a great option, though the TV sizes are more limited.
10. Borrow a family room wall.
If you have the good fortune of a larger space with the kitchen and family room as one, you're dilemma may be solved with a larger TV in the family room which can be seen from the kitchen.
