There are pull-down TV mounts that you can use above the fireplace! It's called the Mantel Mount I believe. My husband and I had the same issue in our last place where the fireplace would push the TV too high up, but the pull-down mount totally solved the issue for us! Hope this helps :)

While also not watching Tv you can turn it a frame above the fireplace.

2:19 No one asked but I would suggest swapping the positions of the monstera and the shelving system in the dining room. You have a lot of counter space and storage in the kitchen already, with the shelves so close to the bar/counter it looks a little cluttered. I think the monstera could break up that space well, and the shelving system could be more useful closer to the dining table. Love your channel hope I’m not annoying!

update: i just tried it and since the shelving system sticks out it ends up blocking part of the sliding door/window sadly

Suggestions: Get a carpenter to look at the fireplace surround because it looks like it could be cut down and then the TV could be placed in top. The process should take less than one day and it should be relatively inexpensive. Also they sell wall mounts that swivel and tilt down. Personally, I think option one would make the fireplace match the low scale furniture.

There is so much change happening in a living space that it makes it hard to say one is fully done, as you live daily, you'll find what works best for you. I do love however the placement of the corner couch by the window where the leaf rug is at, it looks picturesque and cozy!

Not sure if i'd explain this the best but I would move the couch away from the wall and forward more creating a 2nd walkway, you're couch is closer to the fireplace, then I would mount the TV to the left of the fireplace but with a arm that comes out and then turns so the TV isn't the main object in the room.

loving the setup of everything so far, especially the reading nook, it all looks so cozy!! this home is truly beautiful and it’s nice to see it all coming together. it was also lovely to see you enjoy a homecooked meal with your family!!

IDEA: you could put the TV beside the fireplace on the side near the window. slightly angle it, so you can use it in the living area and dining area. btw, love the content you've been posting🤍

oooo i did try this but for some reason the TV looks really weird sitting next to the fireplace mantel... i think because the black box next to black box visually looks strange

wowww everything is coming together so nicely!!! the kitchen and dining space looks so cozy and warm

this is so special, thank you for such an intimate look into your life, the dinner with family

I absolutely cannot get over the view from your tree house! Looks absolutely incredible!

I haven't watched before but I LOVE the architecture of your new home and it looks like a serene and light-filled place to live. The great enamelled green and red details of the handrail and kitchen window could give you some ideas for a large art piece over the sofa, or a few pieces to collect over time (a standing lamp, tray, vase - whatever!) to add some small visual highlights of high gloss red, yellow, green or blue in metal, ceramic or glass, to accent those details and contrast the lovely soft neutrals of your woods and textile finishes. Those things can go away in cupboards until you decide you are craving a jolt of red, or orange, or whatever it may be, and then you can pull out a coloured vase and fill it with flowers, for example, to change the whole feel of what is otherwise a neutral room. Thanks, and I will enjoy the backlog of videos to catch up on.

Your new place is looking amazing!

space looks great. looking forward to seeing how it evolves and grows.

I love the cat hammock! The room has such a great view and natural light!

such a chill vibe! I'd love to see the bts on how you make these videos!

aahhhh what a beautiful space

It looks so good! I love your taste in interior design, I am getting inspired to switch up some of my furniture now. And I think the living area turned out well, I sort of like how the tv is somewhat "hidden". And that patio is like a dream! Will be fun to continue to follow your progression with your home. :)

Ugh interior design is amazing as always

my living room size is similar! i turned the second area into a “listening area” with bench seating and turn table setup. also have the couch in the same spot but angled the tv in the corner on same plane as fireplace. looking great!!!

miss the loft but already in love with the new space

Love the new place !

Me encanta tu nueva casa, las vistas, con luz natural y sol 👍. El rincon de lectura 💯un acierto. La mesa del comedor, no pondria nada encima,, pero se a ti te gusta mucho llenar los espacios con lamparas🙂. Es tu casa, espero la disfrutes mucho.🎉.

I really love your space. I want you to know that you've done well with your initial setup. Feels like home, cozy, warm and inviting. The rug in your dining room looks more like a rug for the bedroom than a dining room. You did mention that it was in your old bedroom and I think it fits that space more. That would be my only suggestion.

It's a dream! 😍 Mid Century modern home with japandi interior design! 🤍I adore that your cat can be part of the cozy dinner time🐈 I also love that you are trying out people's suggestions 🥳I think a bigger coffee table would be nice in the living room 🤩 btw, do the dining chairs get stuck in the rug holes? 🤔

Gorgeous place :) Every corner is instagramable

I absolutely love your dining area! You got such a beautiful home!!! I also love what you did with the living room. I guess that one thing that comes to my mind is steady energy versus moving energy. For example, the couches at the moment feel like you can’t relax in them because somebody can walk through that space. Ahhhh I don’t know if this makes sense. What if you move the couch away from the wall, and make the space next to the wall as the walking path while the couches get closer together and become the cozy area where you don’t walk through, but only relax… I’m no expert though obviously so please don’t take to heart this comment because I could be completely wrong. Also, in terms of the wall, there are always things that you can walk by, like frames and paintings, it doesn’t have to be shelves that you can run into (speaking from the perspective of a very clumsy person that constantly does it). Anyway, I’m so excited for your place and you and your girlfriend are so incredibly cute! I’m looking forward to all the wonderful things you’re going to share with us.

Love the new place.. Not sure if you’re taking suggestions but I love rearranging things. Maybe try the tv where the white chair is and make that corner the tv watching corner so can also appreciate the view at the same time. Not sure it’s a big enough area for the couch though 😢

Eric, it's looking so good. As a fan that's been following you, I know you'll be switching things around (on a regular basis 😊). Enjoy your new place with your girlfriend and looking forward to all your decorating ideas. Also...those dumplings look yummy 😋

its soo adorable

Love the house so cozy SUGGESTION; the tg on the white wall with the sofa facing it while the reading charge n mb an armchair facing the fire place

here's an idea-- do some research for tv mounts that extend outward as well as downward-- with one of those you can put the tv above the fireplace and when you'd like to watch, pull it out the of the wall and lower it to sit in front of the fireplace and then just put it back when you're done watching. it's both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable for viewing

You're right, there is no such thing as "how a place should be," - just different experience designs executed well or not so well. The ability to look at a space as a blank canvas is important part of interior design. It's very common for people to try and fit what they already have and then get comfortable with it, rather than think about what they would've done if they didn't have the pieces already. It's expensive and time consuming to buy new things and figure out what to do with the old ones, it's hard to let go of things in general, some more than others, but at the end of the day this ability is often what marks the difference between good looking interiors and truly inspiring interior designs.

@@imericwangwhere did you get it? 😍

7:26 what about putting the white couch with the back facing the fire place with a few feet between the two so the fireplace is still functional? Then the tv and mount can go along the big white wall. That would be a better surface for your projector too, and your view of the TV wouldn’t be obstructed by the projector in this configuration

Awesome vlog

Did you try putting the rug up near the fireplace, then floating the couch so you have a corridor behind the couch to use the kitchen door and walkway, hallway on your big white wall ...then put the tv in the corner to the right of the fireplace...diagonal...then everything falls into place from there... I am sure you have already tried this idea! I just love decorating, Eric!

Bro I love your house ❤❤❤❤😊

You’ve got a great eye for design

Maybe you could get a tv mount and put the tv in front of the fireplace edge, so it kinda howers in the perfect position height wise. Potentially putting some plants or something else behind it so it doesn't make it feel weird.

turn the sofa with its back to the fire place, keep some space between to walk through. and put the tv against the white wall. keep the toga sofa where it is. having a tv not against the wall actually makes the room look larger

Your space looks absolutely beautiful and clean but to my cats, you have so many nice rugs for them to cough out furballs on🥹🥹🥹

lets go new vid

Possibly a round rug in the Living Room.

where did you find the rug in the dinig room and in the living room i love them !

4:33 I'm just wondering if you used the cat bed as a camera stand for this angle hahaha. Love the new home videos! Such a nice place :)

A pendant light above the dinning table would solve the current "where to put the tiny table lamp when food is served" issue. 😅

Where did you get the rug under the dining table? Love It!!!

Here me out, love the squiggly rug BUTTT what if you layered it in the living room since its so big/to add texture and used a larger flatweave rug for under the dining table 👀

Broo what an awesome place. If you dont mind sharing a ballpark figure of the rent and area? Wanted to go out of the bay too.

How do you pull out the dining chairs without it being uneven with half on the rug and half on the hardwood? I think you will need a larger rug lol, crazy how that filled the space in the last apartment but now it looks so small

So funny how you opened the wine with a power drill 🤣

I adore the cat bed that's stuck to the window! Do you remember where you brought it and what was its name? Thank you for sharing your house, it looks lovely :)

Do you like your modular sofa? I am considering the same one. Is it comfy and durable?

Where did you get that cat window perch?!? It's awesome, and I need it.

I'm sure you get this question quite a bit, but what camera do you use? I just subscribed and may have missed it if it was in an earlier video. Love the content btw!

where did you get the mini togo!? so cute haha

I feel like one of those string wall shelves would be a better fit for the dining area than the muuto unit 🙊

I truly love the entire space, everything has a home and the functionality is there. For TV aspects do you watch alot of TV? is it only for night time watches? if so maybe sell your physical TV and just use your projector for nighttime watches? just a thought.

Your home is very homie.

Try bringing the sofa past the kitchen door.

If you plan on never using the big black fireplace, you could place the sofa against it. Then you can place your TV on the white wall opposite. Maybe not the greatest idea ever, but that would allow you to watch TV sitting up. And your girlfriend could sit beside you, as well. 😊

Rug is unpractical. If you move the chair the wrong way, it’ll be unleveled 💀. Food / liquid fallen on rug isn’t as easy to clean then going bare

I think the couches need to face each other in the direction the togo is now with the TV opposite the fireplace but maybe you tried and it didn't fit?

Honestly just flip the toga and TV and see how that looks. Put the toga just before the steps on the other side. Put the TV where the toga was.

put the tv on wheels, so that you can leave it in the corner and roll it out front of the couch when you want to watch something

Can you please share your reading nock plants? I really love them but I dont know their name. 😢

You should do an interior collaboration with benjiplant😍😍🪴💫
