This is a design rule I break all the time for my clients.
Before you panic, here are a few ways I've helped clients make it work.
A TV above the fireplace isn't always the design disaster the internet makes it out to be. In fact, for many homes, it's the most practical and sometimes the only option.

It's the architectural presence around it that makes the entire wall feel intentional.
From proportion and scale to built-ins, mantel selection, and placement, there are plenty of ways to make a fireplace and television coexist beautifully.
