Choosing a table under the TV
Despite the fact that contemporaries spend a lot of free time at the computer and other newfangled gadgets, the TV remains an indispensable household appliance in their life, an important element of every home. A “multi-channel friend”, which serves not only as a means of spiritual rest, but also as a beautiful addition to the interior, is simply a necessary and high-quality stand, called a table for a TV. Even if the TV is flat and mounted on the wall, you need to hide somewhere a DVD, remote controls, game console, press. With this function, the table for the TV does an excellent job.
Species
The most common and particularly popular with customers are rectangular tables of small size. Their parameters only slightly exceed the dimensions of the blue screen installed on top.They have a different number of shelves and hinged doors, and on the rear panel there are openings for the withdrawal of cords and cable.
Rectangular designs are:
- open with several shelves;
- horizontal models with two side panels;
- part of the furniture where you can hide the TV from prying eyes behind closed doors.
A convenient device for TV is a table with a moving table top (turns are possible due to bearings). Such a product allows you to change the angle of the TV screen, while the cabinet itself will be in a constant position.
Tables can be massive, but at the same time light, stationary and mobile (with wheels). Angular models are very popular - they are easily re-installed, help to optimally apply the free space of the room.
Also distinguish between floor and wall cabinets for a TV set. The first version is represented by an independent piece of furniture on legs or roller wheels, the second is mounted on the wall just below the screen.
Manufacturing material
Of solid wood tables under the TV are made quite rarely,with the exception of furniture in a classic style or in the direction of the Baroque. Modern rooms are more often decorated with pieces of furniture from light but durable MDF and chipboard. If a technological interior is created, the systems can be made from metal, glass or durable plastic.
Glass tables are tinted, transparent or frosted, but in all cases hardened (this is necessary to avoid the likelihood of mechanical damage to the stand).
Tables made of MDF are bought quite often, since natural raw materials are used for their production. If the body of the shelf is made of chipboard or MDF, such products must contain a protective border, melamine or plastic, which protects the furniture from mechanical damage, gives it a beautiful look and does not allow moisture to spoil the surface.
Color palette
It is difficult to buy a table for TV, focusing solely on its design and material of manufacture.
Color also plays an important role, and you need to focus on several factors at once:
- shades used in the interior and the overall style of the interior space;
- color of furniture close to the cabinet;
- color of the TV panel case and additional equipment.
For example, if the interior of the room is made in the Scandinavian style or the direction of minimalism, then the table under the TV should be chosen from the wood of light shades. If the decor of the room is ethno or classic, then the wood species should be of dark tones.
Tables for TV in trendy interiors can be the colors of steel, made in white, black (game of contrasts) - in this embodiment, they merge with the background of the television panel, visually make the area larger and more elegant.
The choice of the purpose of the room
Tables for TV can be large and small in size, narrow and wide in shape. Choose one or another type of construction, its tone and texture should be based on the functional of the room and the style in which it is decorated.
In a small room, a roomy turntable is also appropriate, but choosing such a system will have to abandon other pieces of furniture, since the room will become even smaller.
In the bedroom it is better to install minimalist products that are not provocative and not catchy. Living rooms of large areas will easily accommodate both the classic overall furniture system, complemented by carving or gilding, and a table imitating a fireplace or other refined piece of furniture.
Owners of country houses are not limited in the choice.Buying a table depends only on the area of the room in which the TV will be installed.
For the children's room, a table for a TV of bright colors and practical materials that are easy to clean and can be repaired. The stand can be plastic, it is only important to choose models without sharp corners and details from brittle materials.
Recommendations for selection
Any table under the TV should be comfortable, and therefore meet the following requirements:
- easy to navigate;
- be reliable and sustainable;
- be comfortable for watching TV;
- have additional shelves, holes for the withdrawal of wires.
When buying, you should also take into account the main recommendations of interior design specialists:
- Matching material, color and style with surrounding furniture. If you could not find the optimal product, you can install a neutral glass system.
- Stand dimensions should correspond to the size of household appliances or be larger. A small table in a duet with a large TV panel will look ridiculous.
- Functional. The blue screen table can be hollow or have additional shelves.
- The table should not be overflowed with elements of decor, especially in the room of modern design - minimalism in everything is in vogue now.
- Any piece of furniture should be well kept on legs, be mobile and practical in operation.
- To make the purchase successful, you should pay attention to the products of well-known manufacturers. But do not blindly trust the eminent brand. You should always carefully study your favorite model, paying attention to all, even the smallest details.
- Security is an important selection criterion. Smoothed edges, durable glass, high-quality fittings - and the TV stand will delight its owners for many years.
Also not to be overlooked:
- the size of the TV and the area of the room in which it will stand;
- interior style;
- budget.
Basically, the modern household appliances market is represented by flat LCD TVs. If their diagonal is small, you can safely buy a rectangular or square-shaped table, you can also order a stand of a different configuration. When the TV has a large diagonal, it is better to choose a long model of furniture.
The size of the room also makes its own adjustments in the process of choosing a table for TV.In a small room, a huge TV will not look very attractive together with a massive table.
Since the table under the TV is an important part of the interior, it should ideally fit into it. Therefore, a wooden large stand in a high-tech style is unaesthetic and completely ugly visualized.
In a room of such a direction it is better to use light materials, for example, glass. And for a classic, rustic style or Provence, a wooden bollard will be very relevant.
Before buying it is necessary to clarify whether there are additional shelves in the table, holes for wires, etc.
And of course, the financial side of the issue is important. If funds allow, you can buy tables for TV from solid wood of expensive breeds with exquisite finishes. However, coasters made of fiberboard, MDF, chipboard will look slightly worse, and their price will only please.
