We set up our computer in our front room when our kids were young to monitor what they viewed online. Our youngest is now in college and our oldest has a family of his own.
We decided to make an office out of our oldest sons’ former bedroom. See how we increased our visual space?
I don’t put pictures on the TV wall for the same reason…visual space.

I would die without art on the walls! I know what you mean about visual space but I love art and pictures and paintings and shelves and….well you get my drift;)

This is the only wall in my house that is blank! The rest have pictures, shelves, wall hangings, and in the kitchen, baskets, pots and pans! I do have a blank space above and around the TV in the other rooms. I think anything over the TV is distracting.
