Varieties
It is impossible to imagine a living room without a TV: sometimes it becomes a full member of the family, when the whole family gathers in the evenings to watch an interesting movie or TV show. For the elderly, television becomes a salvation from boredom and lack of communication. In order to watch programs in comfortable conditions, you need to purchase special furniture for TV.
For a wise choice, several factors should be considered: the number of equipment and all kinds of cords that come with the screen, as well as the installation method. There are two options for mounting a TV: mounted and stationary. Today, several types of TV furniture are distinguished: cabinets, chests of drawers, racks, elevators and cabinets. To make the right choice, it is proposed to study the features of each species separately.
Stand
TV cabinets are very popular today. They are presented in several versions, which allows the buyer to make a choice at will. Depending on the type of mount, as well as the location and functionality, there are such types of pedestals:
- with bracket;
- hanging;
- angular;
- chest of drawers.
It is recommended to consider each version of the cabinet more specifically, with highlighting the features of the model.
With bracket
This product is characterized by a built-in type of bracket that adjusts the angle of inclination and rotates the TV to the desired position for the user. Such a function is considered convenient for people who prefer to look at the screen from anywhere in the living room. Today on sale you can find options for LCD screens or plasma panels.
The design of the product consists of such parts:
- the main part of the cabinet where it is convenient to place accessories: remotes, newspapers, magazines, disk boxes;
- back plate, due to which the bracket itself is attached to the pedestal;
- a bracket located on the top of the bar.
Due to the large angle of rotation, a person can watch TV even while lying on the floor. Such a function will become appropriate if the screen is additionally used for the operation of the console. Bedside tables are available in various colors and stylistic designs. The color of wenge in combination with a white contrasting shade is suitable for minimalism, and a white-brown combination will become appropriate for a classic interior.
Hanging
This type of bedside tables differs in that it is mounted directly on the wall.The hanging cabinet will not be located on the floor, so all items needed for viewing will also be at the height of the cabinet. The use of such furniture for the TV creates the impression of flight and airiness in the living room, so the interior of the room should be appropriate.
Due to the fact that the cabinet is attached to the wall, it frees up space on the floor. It is there that you can place all the necessary items or make a niche for a folding table. The color combinations offered by designers are more suitable for modern interiors:
- the strict black color of the cabinet will fit the light walls: it will be appropriate to arrange family photos in frames, small flower pots, as well as desktop lighting fixtures;
- a closed-type beige stand will help to protect objects inside from dust: this model looks good without accessories and is suitable for high-tech style;
- pure white creates an atmosphere of calm in the living room: it will be appropriate to place a plasma panel in a light shade.
Products often have roomy compartments for storing any accessories: open and closed shelves, as well as compartments on a gas elevator and with locks.
Cabinet
The most common and well-established option is the chest of drawers, which performs two functions at once: it serves as a TV stand and stores clothes. Such furniture for TV is chosen by users in the old fashioned way, because this model was popular in Soviet times.
A feature of this product is a large number of design options that allow you to choose a stand for both high-tech style and country style. Installing the model does not require additional steps: just select the right place and connect the screen.
Manufacturers offer models in this style:
- Baroque - a luxurious nightstand of brown color, framed by golden fittings;
- classic - a combination of cream and dark shades makes the stand stand out from the general interior;
- minimalism - a compact model with a glossy white surface.
The products are distinguished by the variety of design of the front: the side shelves are open, with wooden doors or glass trimmed elements. The cabinets with drawers in the center look especially beautiful and functional: it is convenient to store linen in them, if the cabinets in the house do not allow you to place all things.
Corner
For small living rooms, corner furniture options for TV are perfect. This includes a variety of bedside tables of angular construction, which harmoniously fits into the empty space. Despite the similar structure, all products of this plan can be divided into several models:
- cabinet with open side shelves and drawers in the center;
- cabinet with open side compartments and closed shelves in the center;
- fully enclosed cabinet;
- fully open version, where the central shelf is made of glass;
- closed side compartments and an open central part.
Completely open versions of the corner TV cabinet look attractive, but they are not always practical: the dust will settle on objects on the shelves. If this option does not fit, choose furniture for TV combination or closed type.
Rack
If it was decided to choose furniture for a TV in a modern style, you should pay attention to the racks - a separate category of furniture suitable for both large screens and compact compact TVs. The design is a small number of shelves in the lower part, after which there is a supporting support, often metal. It holds the top and bottom of the rack together. In the upper compartment there is a mount for the screen itself.
TV stands have gained popularity due to such factors:
- a huge number of models made of different materials;
- simple installation;
- the ability to adjust the height, angle and angle;
- reliability of fastenings;
- Stylish design and durability.
Racks can be wall and floor: to choose a product, pay attention to the design of products, the safety of its use and compatibility with the TV.
Elevator
If there are many technical innovations in the living room, it makes sense to purchase an elevator for the TV. The design is as follows:
- a special device with a motor is mounted in the lower compartment of the cabinet;
- the elevator is closed by doors or shelves, it is not visible to prying eyes;
- the device works from the remote control;
- the elevator allows you to move the screen down, up, left, right, change the slope and height.
Such an innovation will be useful for people of any age: despite the high cost, the novelty pays for itself while watching movies. In addition to the built-in option in the pedestal, the elevator can be monolithic - detached on the floor. This design is suitable for a modern technological interior design.
Cupboard
Cabinet or modular furniture can be selected taking into account the installation of the TV. For this, special zones are allocated in the center of the structure, allowing you to fit the TV and all the necessary equipment. The body wall is considered a convenient option when designing a living room in a single composition.
Do not assume that modern walls are similar in style to Soviet options. Today there are a large number of models suitable for any interior: from trendy to luxurious.
If the furniture is typed in modules, it is important to know in advance all the dimensions of the TV, so as not to be mistaken with the dimensions of the future niche. It is also worth making sure that there is a hole in the furniture for the power wires.
Materials of manufacture
Today, manufacturers use several types of materials for the manufacture of furniture for TV. Some models are produced in a combined style, combining several types of raw materials at once. The most common categories are presented below:
- natural massif of a tree - curbstones with carved ornaments look beautiful, however their cost will be high. Models are relevant for luxurious and relaxing interiors;
- glass - glass furniture is most often chosen by people with a small living room. Such models at first glance resemble a coffee table and add visual airiness and lightness to the room. Maintenance of glass surfaces should be daily, as fingerprints often remain on the glass;
- plastic - models made of durable plastic are rarely in demand and are often purchased as temporary options. Such products can not be called sustainable, but among the model range there are interesting specimens of rare colors;
- Chipboard - the most popular material of modern furniture - laminated particleboard. Products from these raw materials are affordable and able to convey the structure of a real tree.
When choosing furniture for a TV, a lot of attention should be paid to the material, since not only the aesthetics of the product, but also its strength depends on it.
Posting Rules
Despite the fact that modern TV monitors are much safer than their predecessors, the installation rules must be followed when installing the equipment. It is worth paying attention to such nuances:
- place the cabinet so that a person can see the entire screen without difficulty;
- install the TV at a height of at least 70 cm from the floor;
- It is not recommended to install cabinets near radiators and other heat sources;
- it is necessary to select such a surface size of the cabinet so that there is a technical gap behind the TV;
- place the product so that the furniture sockets are located behind the furniture.
Simple recommendations will help you choose an excellent product for a TV that will harmoniously fit into the interior and will delight you with its durability.
