| There’s no escaping from the fact that TVs are a major part of modern family life.� The amount of television watched varies from person to person, but many do not consider the amount of time they spend on games consoles as viewing time.� Including games, programmes and DVD videos, people often spend quite a large proportion of their day looking at the TV screen.� This means it is important to ensure that a television is placed in the ideal location.� There is a lot of debate as to whether children and teenagers should be allowed TVs in their bedrooms.� Some parents say as long as it is properly supervised it is not a problem, whereas others are extremely opposed.� Children themselves tend to want their very own screen!� But what about bedrooms in general?� Should a couple have a one in their shared room?� In general, people agree on the basic principles of bedroom decorating.� They are a place for relaxation and to unwind at the end of the day.� With this is mind, mild colours and simplicity are often ideal.� Bedrooms should not be cluttered or confusing, and working from bedrooms should be avoided.� These basic rules all help to move the mind towards sleep.� Having loads of washing to do on the floor and a busy work desk can lead to thinking about what needs still to be done etc, causing poor sleep or even insomnia.� Some feel that TVs have the same impact, keeping the mind active and alert rather than calming it.� This may be true in some cases, but it depends a lot on what is viewed and where a television is placed.� TV wall mounts allow for a screen to be fixed higher up for ease of viewing from bed.� This can take away the need to sit up in bed in order to view – and let’s face it - that can disturb sleep!� Mounting this way also prevents the TV taking up surface space and adding to clutter.� The focal point of any bedroom should be the bed itself.� It should look inviting and stand out; this can be achieved by adding splashes of colour in the form of cushions or throws.� A large amount of people watch the TV in bed, and there are many reasons given for this.� Parents often enjoy having space away from the children where they can view shows that they like in peace when possible.� Some find watching soothing programmes at night can keep their mind off their worries.� Many TVs can be programmed to turn off automatically after a certain amount of time, which means a viewer can fall asleep in the knowledge the electricity bill should not climb too high!� As TV wall mounts can allow for a more comfortable viewing position in bed, they make falling asleep easier.Sometimes couples disagree about whether they should have a television in their bedroom.� If this is the case, headphones can be used to prevent sound disturbing others, and TV wall mounts can allow for a TV to be placed out of the way and covered if necessary. |
