Central element of your style, the TV stand occupies a special place, whatever the deco style of your home. It is therefore important to choose it carefully in order to create an atmosphere that best meets your expectations. To help you choose, here are 5 tips that will guide you in your choice!
1. Choose your style
Whether you are fond of Scandinavian style or vintage decoration, the living room is generally the place where you spend a lot of your free time, and it is therefore very important that you feel comfortable in it and that you can satisfy your desires in furnishing it. Of all, it is important to reflect on what kind of environment you want to create: more welcoming or more contemporary? According to the style you choose, your choice may consequently be totally different.
For a contemporary living room, the modern design tv stands are a guarantee of quality: generally, relatively low and long, it will give a touch of design to your room. For example, a white and lacquered TV stand can be the perfect complement and bring a touch of light to a living room with a clean look and attention to every detail. If you prefer a more sober and more refined aesthetic, the black TV stand is a multipurpose model that adapts to all interiors types. Suppose you are looking for a more retro or vintage environment. In that case, the industrial design TV stand could be the best option for you: with its authentic style, wood, and patinated metal, it easily adapts to a low table of the same style and a sofa in leather.
2. Pay attention to the choice of materials
The materials used to create your design TV stand guarantee both in terms of unique style and excellent durability. With accurate finishes, solid wood will surely make it well adaptable to modern interiors as well as to the environments of a bohemian countryside. Very fashionable, the teak TV stand is a multi-purpose and long-lasting choice, as is solid oak wood. Another option can be the pine TV stand, generally better suited to more welcoming environments, as if to be placed next to a nice little fire, although teak may seem more industrial.
But in addition to wood, it is not difficult to find a metal TV stand in a loft: the association of these two materials is frequent in this type of decoration and the environment begins to have a retro look. But just as the eye wants its part, it is also important to consider that the materials of your furniture are a guarantee of durability and quality. In most cases, a TV stand is easy to keep, but the attention paid to the finishes can make the difference between a piece of furniture that will be damaged easily and another that will last over time while keeping its style intact.
3. Don’t forget the practical aspect!
The functional aspect is absolutely not to be forgotten when choosing your design furniture! Some design TV furniture can also be used to keep your objects in order, such as dish sets or linens (but also because of not CD or DVD, if you have any). With their drawers and compartments, all the spaces of your furniture can be used as if they were in a cupboard, depending on the height that will be most comfortable for you.
In smaller spaces, for example, you could have love at first sight for a larger TV stand, to avoid adding a large sideboard in the living room. Be careful in this case not to choose a model that is too low, which will offer you little space inside: surely a taller model will do more for you.
Still with regard to the practical aspect, some models are equipped with a space to pass the cables through, preventing some unfortunate wire from tripping one of your guests. These small accessories prove practical both for the versatile aesthetic appearance they can give to your cameras, as well as for protecting your cables from accidents.
4. Arrange your furniture wisely
If you spend a lot of time in front of your furniture and your TV, then the height of your furniture will also acquire a fundamental aspect and can have a significant impact on your comfort and your health. In general, the taller a TV stand is, the further it will have to be placed away from your sofa: if it is placed too close, it will certainly have a negative effect on your neck, and in the long term it will hurt you. Once you are comfortable on your sofa, your eyes should be about halfway up the screen so you don’t have any problems. Please note that if you have a plasma TV, you will need to place it at a greater distance than if it were a traditional TV to protect your eyes. The position of your furniture can also have an impact on the comfort of your vision: if the TV is placed too close to a window or at the wrong angle, reflections may prevent you from seeing a movie on your screen properly. Solve the underlying problem, trying to predict as much as possible what the final result will be. If you have any doubts about the best position to choose, you could also choose a TV stand with wheels for greater flexibility and the ability to always move it according to use!
5. Think carefully about your deco accessories
Very often, the TV stand is long enough to accommodate both the TV and some deco accessories. It is therefore the perfect case to embellish your living room with elements that emphasize the style of the room. If you love the Scandinavian style, for example, you could put a retro-style vase next to your TV, or in an open part of the cabinet. If, on the other hand, your style is closer to the loft-style, a patinated metal lamp will be the perfect complement to match your wooden and metal furniture! You could also create a game of symmetries by choosing your accessories matching the two sides of your television (if you have enough space) or instead opt for a less rigid aesthetic by putting all the accessories on one side.
Here is everything you need to know
Choosing the perfect furniture is certainly not the easiest choice: there are many parameters to take into consideration, including the exact position in the room as well as the height of your design TV stand. As often happens in the field of interior styles and decorations, it is very important to first visualize the effect you want to achieve, and then you can let yourself be seduced by the different models you might find. Trust your instincts!
