We're in the process of moving into a new home, and I've got the opportunity to design a build a 'centre stage' for the TV.
The room is fairly symmetrical, and the TV will be placed nicely in the middle of the back wall.
I wanted to explain my suggested drawing and see if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.
For reference, I have a 65" LG OLED TV, but think it's quite possible I may eventually go up to a 77" or bigger, so have shown both for now.
Would really welcome any advice, ideas or suggestions. TIA

- I'd really like the TV to be sunk back slightly (100-200 mm), but it makes me nervous that in x years time I may have a larger TV and don't really want to be renovating this section, so I'm thinking of keeping the TV mounting area flush.
- I think the LG has a fixed power cable, i.e non-removable, so I'm thinking of adding a power socket and Ethernet power flush behind the TV. In hindsight, I think this could be a single power socket and single Ethernet port.
- The AV receiver, consoles, media players etc at the bottom will sit in a section that goes right to the back. They'll sit on a wooden sill similar to a section of window sill that's painted gloss.
- At the rear of the wooden sill will be a number of 75mm holes for cables to drop into the cavity below.
- Im unsure how to manage the power and Ethernet access to the remainder of the AV equipment. I think it'll be too messy to have the power outlets and Ethernet patch boxes at the rear of the recess, so might be better to have a removable cavity either side of the centre stage, which gives access into the dropped cables from #4 above.
- I've added a similar recessed cavity at the top for the centre speaker. Not necessarily the most ideal location, however I really prefer having the TV at eye-level, so I think this is the preferred arrangement.
