With several popular sporting events going on throughout the year, your husband may literally live in front of the television. Unless you are a big sports fan as I am (luckily for my husband), your living room is the viewing section of every basketball game, NASCAR event, football game, and every other popular sporting event. So, how do you get your beautiful living room from becoming the next sports section at your husband’s favorite game? There are several ways you can get your living room back and your husband can watch his games comfortably without making your living space section L (living room), seat 1(his favorite seat).
Television Placement
The television has taken over homes all over the country along with the advancing technology of cell-phones, video games, and the internet. By removing the television from you main living space, your family will receive several advantages:
- A room that can be used for meaningful and interesting conversations.
- A peaceful room that can be utilized as a reading or meditating room.
- A space that is neater and organized because it is used less for rowdy sporting events.
A Man Room
S o where do you place the television now? You may have heard of men having their own man room within their home. This room is designed for men to relax and enjoy what they love to do, engage in, or watch on television. These rooms can be designed with their favorite sports memorabilia, their favorite television, and other hobbies and interests that they may have. The question is, “Where can you setup these extra spaces in your home?” Here are great examples:
- In a designated area in the basement of your home
- In an extra secondary bedroom
- In the garage ( Garages are becoming popular spaces to expand into)
As always having a beautiful and functional home with your spouse involves compromise and work. In order for your husband to agree with the changes that are suggested above, create a space for him that is comfortable and suits his needs and personality. Removing the television from the main living space and placing it in his favorite designated man will create happiness for the both of you.
