Home Improvement Blog Improving Your Home And Your Life

My boyfriend and I moved in together, we are 25 and 27 so obviously living with someone is a first for both of us and we are beginning to face the inevitable clash in ideal home decor.

That said, we are putting together our living room (mind you we have a one-bedroom apartment in downtown Chicago so this is also our living room, media center and entertaining room). We have a 47'' flat screen on top of our TV stand. We have surround sound speakers and have already mounted the rear speakers in corners on the opposite wall from the TV. He would like to hang the center speakers above and beside the TV and stand. Yes, visible wires. It was fine when we were living seperately but this just looks bachelor pad/tacky.

Does anyone have some suggestions?
