One of the essential furniture pieces in the living room décor is
the television, as it is the principal source of relaxation for most families. A few household, however, pay much attention
on choosing the ideal TV set but leaving the appropriate TV stand.
The materials and designs must be given importance
when choosing the right TV stand for your home.
Modern living rooms would look better with a stand made of glass or
metal. TV stands made of wood would
complement the traditional type of home but choose one that has the same tone
with your other furniture. With the
right size of TV stand, you have made the focal point in your living room.
How to choose
Select a stand that suits your room size and can
house the TV set. Put a small amount of
space, though, on the sides of the unit to avoid making it look tight.
Profundity must be taken into account. The new styles of television sets will not give
you any issue on this aspect but not if you have the old style that sticks out
at the back. Hence, measure its depth
and again allow 1 to 2 inches for the cords and cables.
The TV stand must appropriately support the
television’s weight. Not all the TV
stands that you see can give the proper support. They are made with various materials and
methods. Check on your TV’s manual to
get its weight as well as its size.
Small units would require small TV stands, of
course. These are not heavy and are
easier to transport or move. If you have
a TV in your bedroom, small stands would be ideal. Small stands provide spaces or shelves for your
DVD and other items and are available in various styles and designs.
Large TV stands have more shelves to house all of
your entertainment devices such as the DVD player, home stereo and other stuff;
thus, eliminating clutter in your living room.
They are, however, heavier and require more space.
Choosing the right size of television stand for your
home will rely on your room size, TV size as well as your other requirements. It must also blend well with your other pieces of furniture.
