In our time, it is probably difficult to find a living space, where there would be no TV. The blue screen has already become an integral part of our life and therefore, among the whole variety of furniture, such a headset item as a TV stand is in great demand. Its importance in the interior of the apartment should not be underestimated, since, in addition to its direct functional purpose of a kind of stand, it is also able to embellish the interior in many ways. Beautiful TV cabinets attract attention, no less than the technique itself, and made in a certain stylistic direction, they can even become a certain highlight that attracts admiring glances. Among other things, they can serve as a "shelter" not only for the TV, but also for decorative elements and other interior items.
TV stand: how to choose the right model
Among the huge number of different types, it is not so easy to choose the right option. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the main criteria that affect the choice, namely:
- TV dimensions. Everything is obvious here: if the screen diagonal is small, we choose a more modest stand, and for large models, a reliable overall base is needed;
- financial opportunities. First of all, the quality of the materials from which the furniture is made will depend on this factor. The most expensive options will be natural wood or glass, while chipboard and plastic are much cheaper, but generally less practical. Although, if you adhere to the necessary furniture care and proper operation, even an inexpensive model can last for quite a long period and, at the same time, look no less elegant than expensive designs.
Style and dimensions of the room
- room dimensions. This is one of the key indicators that a TV cabinet must comply with. For example, in a small room, a large massive model will look ridiculous, and it will take up quite a lot of space. For large living rooms, miniature cabinets are absolutely not suitable, since in such rooms TVs, as a rule, have large dimensions, and installing them on a small base is stupid and risky;
- stylistic direction in the interior. The overall design of the room must be taken into account when choosing a TV cabinet. Modern models often have non-standard forms, which is completely unacceptable for the classics and vice versa. On what distinctive features the furniture of this or that style has, we will dwell in more detail in a separate section of the article;
- surface height. When choosing a cabinet, it is necessary to take into account the height of the sofa and chairs in order to make watching TV as comfortable as possible;
- the possibility of placing additional accessories. In modern interior design, there is a tendency to use a minimum number of elements of a furniture set, due to their functionality, when one piece of furniture can replace two or three. Nowadays, the manufacturer is trying in every possible way to embody this idea, thanks to which, a modern-style TV cabinet can have additional niches, shelves or openings to accommodate the necessary accessories and store things;
Of course, product quality is always a determining factor that should be given great attention, because furniture is purchased not for one year or two. Therefore, in addition to the good indicators of the main material from which the TV stand is made, it must also have high-quality and practical fittings, which is worth asking when buying, since, in the future, its service life will depend on it.
TV cabinets in a modern style: a description of the varieties of models
The main criteria for classifying TV stands are: shape, type of installation and the material from which the furniture is made. Consider the features of individual species.
Long TV cabinets
Linear models are perfect for installing large plasmas in living rooms or bedrooms. Basically, such designs are used in spacious rooms. They can be installed permanently or suspended. Today, any furniture store can offer a wide variety of models, each of which will differ in its functionality. Long TV cabinets, the photos of which are presented in the article, can be equipped with various drawers for storing various small things, as well as shelves where decorative elements and other accessories can be placed. Some models do not have a rear panel. There are also cabinets that have vertical add-ons. In living rooms combined with a kitchen, a long structure can serve as a limiter for a seating area, as well as create the illusion of a larger space.
Corner TV stand
Corner cabinet models are one of the most practical options that can effectively save space, therefore they are well applicable for rooms of different sizes, both large and small. In addition, having enough shelves and sections, the corner TV stand, as seen in the photo, is very roomy.
For a children's room, you can purchase a model with rounded corners. Quite often, corner structures are part of a whole set of modular furniture. If the cabinet is bought separately, it is necessary that it fits into the overall interior of the room, corresponds to the stylistic direction. Today, choosing the right option is not difficult, thanks to the variety on the market. As an alternative - you can make a bedside table to order.
TV cabinet
In a spacious room, you can install a TV stand in the form of a chest of drawers. This option has existed for decades, but does not lose its relevance. Such a TV stand is quite roomy, but at the same time it takes up a lot of space, so we are talking about installing them in spacious living rooms or bedrooms. The advantage of this design is also that it can be installed on it not only plasma, but also more voluminous TVs that take place in many homes.
TV stand - table
Such a model cannot boast of a special capacity, since, in the usual version, it does not contain additional drawers and niches. But on the other hand, it perfectly corresponds to many modern trends in interior design. Glass TV cabinets (photos can be seen in this article) can be a good addition to high-tech style, minimalism and others. They look light and elegant without taking up space, which is good for small spaces.
Modern TV cabinets: types of installation
Each furniture manufacturer, in order to make it more functional, easy to use and applicable to a certain style, tries to produce a variety of models, thus increasing the demand for their products. This also applies to the differences that a TV cabinet may have, depending on the installation. There are several categories here:
- stand for TV stationary. Such a model may have a solid base or small legs;
- design on wheels, with the ability to move, if necessary, to the desired space;
- TV cabinet with bracket, with which you can rotate in the desired direction;
- suspended structures mounted directly to the wall, which creates the illusion that the furniture is "hanging" in the air. This is a newer development, widely used in modern design.
Modern TV stand: materials for manufacturing
TV furniture can be made from materials such as natural wood, chipboard, MDF, plastic or glass. The models made of wood are recognized as the most reliable and durable, but they have a relatively high price. Most often they are used in classic design, but since modern TV cabinets are often made using several materials, they may well fit into other styles.
Chipboard is a material obtained by pressing wood chips with synthetic resins. It is used in the manufacture of cabinet furniture quite often. Chipboard structures are much cheaper than wood, but significantly inferior to them in strength.
A positive feature of plastic models is their wide range in different colors. At the same time, the plastic cabinet does not have high strength and can be used as a stand for light modern TVs.
Glass TV cabinets (as seen in the photo) create a feeling of weightlessness. They are practically invisible in the interior, due to which they do not clutter up the space. For such structures, hardened materials are used, which makes it possible to withstand the weight of even large-sized equipment. Due to the transparency, glass models will suit any color scheme of the interior.
TV cabinets: photos and characteristics of furniture in different styles
Of course, when choosing furniture, it is worth remembering that it must correspond to the overall interior design of the room. Today, it is not so difficult to choose beautiful TV cabinets, photos of which are in our catalog. To do this, you need to know the main features inherent in a particular direction.
TV stand in classic style
Classical style is always elegance, aristocracy, chic and sophistication. Furniture can be made from any material, but natural wood remains the most popular in this direction. A classic-style TV cabinet made of wood can have beautiful openwork carvings, as well as forged elements. It should be massive, but graceful and, at the same time, look quite warm and cozy.
In addition to the classics, there are quite a few modern trends, the main feature of which is versatility and conciseness in design, the exclusion of any excesses. A TV cabinet in a modern minimalist style will be extremely simple. It can be, for example, a glass structure consisting of two shelves with a chrome-plated riser. Less common are models made of wood or chipboard. In this case, the color of the cabinet should be in harmony with the technique, while combinations of white with metallic or black are possible.
It's hard to imagine a modern living room interior without a TV cabinet, especially if you don't have a convenient wall that allows you to fit in appliances.
If you choose the right cabinet, you can not only solve the issue of placing the TV, but also embellish the interior, create additional space for storing important things and emphasize the style.

Before giving preference to one or another model of chest of drawers, you should make sure of its practicality and reliability. The quality of all fasteners, movable elements and the stability of the entire structure should be checked. The sides of the frame should not have gaps and fit snugly against each other.
In the absence of the necessary free space, designers are advised to choose a corner configuration. In this case, there is a real opportunity to most rationally place not only a plasma screen, but also a large number of personal items.
Models consisting of three separate sections are able to accommodate not only media equipment, but also fiction or a collection of souvenirs. Stylish chests of drawers with a glass front allow you to add a few visual centimeters to a small room. If a chest of drawers for TV is planned to be used in a children's room, then special attention should be paid to its environmental friendliness and safety of decorative elements and accessories.

TV stand in a modern style - what to look for when buying?
There are a huge number of options for what a modern-style TV cabinet can be, photos and prices in various catalogs confirm this. But how to choose the best one? A few tips:
- Determine the dimensions and weight of your TV. Some models are designed for certain loads. Find out this data before coming to the store;
- Decide on the style of the stand. Will it be in a classic or modern style, it's up to you;
- Choose the most suitable material for manufacturing, depending on the interior. For some rooms, wood and plastic are suitable, for others, glass and metal.
How to choose the right cabinet size?
The dimensions of the cabinet depend mainly on the dimensions of the TV. Ideally, the device should not go beyond the borders of the cabinet, otherwise the edge of the screen will touch when walking.
The height is determined based on your position while watching TV. If you are seated in an armchair or on a sofa, the best option would be pedestal height 500-600 mm. If you like to sit on the floor, choose furniture of a small height (about four hundred millimeters).
When choosing dimensions, take into account the space for electronic devices: speakers, set-top box for digital broadcasting, DVD. They are located on the lower shelves under the TV. Where to put the TV and cabinet?
Before installing your beautiful new TV stand, consider set of rules:
Photo and description of manufacturing materials
Thanks to new technologies, it became possible to create truly unique and beautiful cabinets. The most popular materials are:
- Tree;
- Chipboard;
- MDF;
- PVC;
- Glass.
solid wood
Characterized by practicality and durability. Wood is able to retain heat, so that the cabinet always remains pleasant to the touch. Classic wooden models look solid and noble. They are well suited for the interior of any style, including modern and classic.
The design of solid wood cabinets is made in any style, from minimalism to hand-carved and elegant finishes. If we talk about color, it is customary to consider TV cabinets in white and black shades and unpainted varieties as universal. Among the shortcomings, we note the tendency to absorb moisture. High atmospheric humidity renders such an item unusable.
Chipboard and chipboard
Chipboard TV cabinets are made from conventional or laminated material. They possess benefits:
- Variety of decor options. Chipboard can be easily repainted in any desired color that suits your interior;
- long service life (at least ten years);
- favorable price in comparison with analogues.
Products are created for different interiors, including high-tech, classic, techno and modern. There are also stylistically universal models. The disadvantage of chipboard is the ability to absorb moisture, consider this point during the operation of the cabinet.
MDF
MDF is a durable material, the design of modern TV cabinets based on it is reliable. MDF fittings are designed for long service life. The cabinets can withstand the weight of any heavy TVs.
There are varieties of cabinets for different decor options, including high-tech and classic. Among the features we note the variety of color solutions, original decor, versatility and compact size. Among the shortcomings, the tendency of MDF cabinets to absorb moisture stands out.
PVC
Stylish PVC TV cabinets fit for high-tech and modern. Plastic is painted in any shade, it is easily given a non-standard shape. Often in such cabinets there are compartments for various players. 
The advantage of plastic is its small mass, i.e. the product is easy to move to another room. PVC cabinets are often equipped with an equalizer and backlight. In the process of watching a movie or listening to music, the luminous stripes will create a pleasant background. Among the disadvantages of PVC include a low modulus of elasticity, which leads to deformation under the influence of high loads and temperature fluctuations.
Glass
Today, there is a high demand for modern-style glass TV cabinets on a long wall (see photo gallery at the end of the article). They are great for apartments in a newfangled style. The designs look like a regular coffee table, equipped with shelves for appliances and other accessories. A specialized coating in the form of a film gives the glass absolutely any shade.
Manufacturers use tempered glass with a thickness of about fifteen millimeters. Among the advantages are strength, and due to the grinding of the edges, the likelihood of scratches and chips is eliminated. Among the disadvantages, it should be noted that the glass surface is always cool to the touch, and every accidental touch, especially when the room is cold, brings discomfort. Another significant disadvantage of glass is need for care. Literally everything is visible on it - fingerprints, dust. Wipe the surface frequently.
Fire safety requirements
To eliminate the possibility of a fire during the operation of the equipment built into the cabinet, the products must have the following elements:
- Ventilation openings for the removal of heated air masses.
- Specialized holes and grooves for cable management. Inexpensive pieces of furniture may not have this. As a result, the fire safety of such products is low.
Study the fire safety class of the material from which your cabinet is made The TV stand must be made from a material that does not emit toxic components under the influence of high temperatures. Inexpensive products are made from materials that emit toxic fumes and in case of insignificant heating.
Cabinet shape
There are cabinets of different shapes: rectangular, round, abstract, with rounded or sharp ends, polygonal. The choice is entirely related to the layout and interior design.
If the furniture is characterized by smooth lines, opt for oval cabinets. If your plans include placing the TV in a corner, buy a corner stand.
TV stands long modern and their features
A modern TV looks like a flat quadrangle with a significant mass. According to the innovative models of TVs, the cabinets have also changed. A small depth and an impressive length have become almost their main feature.
Long hi-tech TV stand Floor standing TV cabinets are long and modern in most cases characterized by console implementation. The latter is considered a spectacular design technique that visually expands the space. The elongated shape in case of shallow depth helps to equip the compartments with drawers and doors, and the feeling of bulkiness does not arise.
Corner TV stand - photo and description
Installing television equipment in the corner is a forced decision. It is optimal to see what is happening on the screen if you look at it directly without tilting your head. To watch movies on a TV located in the corner, an armchair or sofa is placed parallel to the screen, i.e. diagonally in another corner of the room or near the center.
Cabinet height will be from 450 to 850 millimeters. There are no clear recommendations here. It is logical to focus on the height of the seat of the sofa and coffee table. Medium height from floor counts from 550 to 600 millimeters.
The distance from the TV screen to the viewers is at least three meters. Therefore, corner cabinets are an excellent option for rooms with a width of about 2-2.5 meters.
Hanging TV cabinet (hinged)
If the area of your apartment is small, a hanging TV cabinet becomes the best option. It has several advantages, unlike other varieties of similar pieces of furniture. They are made of plastic, metal or glass. Hanging cabinets made of wood are less common.
Plastic and metal cabinets - the best option for the kitchen or living room. They are distinguished by practicality and reliability, perfectly fitting into the overall design of the room. Often they are produced in the form of shelves.
Tall TV stand
Tall TV cabinet, created in a modern style, is most often made wood. Often there are varieties with glass elements or leather decoration. Before buying a high cabinet, determine the dimensions of the TV and the characteristics of the room where the furniture will be located.
The height of the structure from the floor is in the range of 550-650 millimeters. The screen will be high, so watching TV from a low sofa is uncomfortable. For such cabinets, a short length is chosen (about 600-1000 millimeters), otherwise they will be as bulky as a wardrobe. As a result, in the interior, such an object looks neutral, resembling a square or rectangle in shape.
How to choose a color?
Many televisions are made in the form of glass or black plastic, furniture manufacturers adapt to this. On the market you will find different color combinations of cabinets.
It is possible that you want to make the product bright, so that it stands out against the background of the decoration of the room. This option is best suited for fans of bold design decisions. Modern TV cabinets are painted in any color, but it is desirable that a similar tone is already present in the room. Otherwise, such a large piece of furniture will need to be supported by a chair or a carpet of a similar shade. This will cause an oversaturation of the interior with paints.
Cabinet in Provence style white For a modern style of interior design, the best option is an aged white cabinet in a Provence style.

Plasma, liquid crystal, LED, CRT devices - the modern range of television equipment is striking in its diversity. However, no matter which TV model is installed in your home, you can enjoy your favorite TV shows only if the device is correctly positioned in the room. An ideal solution for installing TV equipment is a modern style TV cabinet.
Modern TV cabinets in the interior - features
Modern TV cabinets are not just stands for television broadcasting devices, they are universal pieces of furniture with wide functionality. The furniture product can be used as a full-fledged storage system, a decorative interior element or an object for space zoning.
Pedestals for TV stand out from the background of other furniture cabinets due to the presence of characteristic features. The key difference lies in the presence of compartments for storing audio systems and other video equipment, special holes or gaps for the passage of wires and cables.
Types of modern furniture styles
The TV area is the central element of the living room interior, so you need to choose a TV stand with special attention. In order for the piece of furniture to be in harmony with other design details, the cabinet model must match the overall style of the room.
The most popular styles today are:
- high tech;
- minimalism;
- loft;
- modern;
- fusion
TV cabinets in a modern high-tech style do not contain decorative elements, the furniture is characterized by conciseness and straightforwardness of forms, high functionality. The main role in the stylistic direction is played not by furniture, but by technology. A high-tech TV cabinet is an elongated and narrow design, the characteristic features of which are chrome and metal parts, glass elements. The high-tech interior is dominated by a restrained cold-neutral color scheme, so you should choose a bedside table in silver, white, light or saturated gray.
The minimalist style, as well as high-tech, is based on the simplicity and functionality of the interior, but at the same time it is more comfortable for life, since the key role is played not by technology, but by the atmosphere. The basic postulate of minimalism is “no frills”. Minimalist coasters are mostly low models. The main color range of furniture is black, white and gray. A striking example of a minimalist TV cabinet is a design consisting of two glass shelves and a bracket for hanging the appliance.
TV cabinets in a modern loft style can have a variety of shapes and looks. To create furniture, textured, rough materials with the effect of aging are used. Loft-style furniture is characterized by extraordinary solutions; as a pedestal for household appliances, a wooden box made of raw wooden boards or a chest made of wood with embossing and decorative roller wheels can serve as a pedestal.
Modern is a style direction, which is a classic in a modern interpretation. A characteristic feature of Art Nouveau furniture is the curvilinearity of forms. The front part of the stand can be decorated with decorative elements in the form of floral patterns. The door leaves of the TV cabinets are equipped with carved or metal handles. The modernized style TV cabinet has a fairly long length, most often it is wooden furniture. Preference is given to natural colors, white, beige, blue, brown, olive, golden and silver shades are used.
Fusion is a "mix" of styles. The key feature of fusion is the combination of expensive natural materials with cheap synthetic elements, such as luxury wood with plastic. An extraordinary combination applies not only to the materials of manufacture, but also to color schemes. The style allows mixing calm neutral colors with bright saturated shades - yellow, turquoise, red, orange, green, creating a sharp, but at the same time eye-pleasing contrast. As a decor, a graphic print, ornaments, carved details, massive handles can be used.
Shapes and sizes of TV cabinets
Modern TV cabinets are distinguished by a variety of shapes. On the market are products of rectangular, oval and angular configurations. Pedestals differ among themselves and geometric parameters.
Note! When choosing a model in terms of dimensions, you should focus on the size of the television broadcast device. The cabinet should be wider and deeper than the TV itself. The minimum difference in width and depth is 10 cm.
Typical dimensions of modern TV cabinets:
- length - from 1 to 3 m;
- height - from 0.5 to 0.8 m;
- depth - 0.43-0.52 m.
How is a TV stand
The practicality, strength and endurance of the TV cabinet directly depends on the features of the structural elements of the product. When choosing a piece of furniture, the quality of the body and front parts must be given due attention. An equally important criterion is the equipment of furniture.
Frame - device and materials
The components of a standard cabinet TV stand are:
- countertop;
- lower horizon;
- sidewalls;
- back wall.
For the production of the back surface of the bedside table, fiberboard or plywood is used. The rear wall of the module can be made of a single sheet or consist of several fragments fastened together with a special plastic profile or reinforced tape.
In the manufacture of sidewalls, upper and lower horizons, furniture manufacturers use a wide range of body materials:
- tree;
- plastic;
- metal.
Equipment and functionality
TV cabinets in a modern style can be equipped with different storage systems. Equipment items include:
- open and closed shelves;
- drawers;
- rotating stands.
Popular models are cabinets with brackets, which are a stand equipped with a technical device for mounting a TV. This method of fastening allows you to change the angle of inclination and the height of the device in space.
Facade
The facade of furniture designed to install a TV can be open, closed or combined. Open models are a design without a front panel. Curbstones with a closed front part are equipped with door leaves.
To open the facades in the designs of television stands, various opening mechanisms are used:
- hinged - door leaves are attached to the ends of the sidewalls, the movement of the canvases is ensured by means of movable furniture hinges;
- hinged - the door of the module, fixed on the end part of the bottom, opens by tilting the canvas down. The lower horizon and the doors are interconnected by means of furniture hinges; to hold the sash in the open position, the system is additionally equipped with a holder with a lock;
- sliding - the front part moves by means of guides and a carriage with rollers.
Installation options
According to the installation method, TV cabinets are divided into two categories:
- floor;
- suspended.
Floor models are a traditional box structure installed on the floor. The basis of the body are the legs or base. The legs of the TV cabinet can be fixed or adjustable. The second option is more attractive, since the adjustment mechanism allows you to compensate for uneven floors.
There are models of TV stands equipped with roller wheels. Rubberized rollers simplify the process of moving a piece of furniture around the room, but at the same time reduce the stability of the module.
Suspended models are lightweight structures mounted on the wall. Anchor bolts or furniture canopies are used as fastening elements for a hinged pedestal. Suspended modules, in comparison with floor models, have less endurance, therefore they cannot be used to install heavy equipment. Cabinets mounted on the wall are relevant in the arrangement of apartments with a small area. Stylish suspended design allows you to free up a floor area, brings lightness and a sense of spaciousness to the interior.
Rules for placement in the interior
A bedside table with a TV can be located along the wall, in the corner or in the center of the room. When choosing a place to install a TV, one should take into account the geometric features of the room, the distance from the viewing place to the television broadcasting device, and the illumination.
The corner arrangement of the module is the optimal solution for small spaces. The TV stand, installed in the middle of the room, simultaneously acts as an interior detail for dividing the space into functional zones. This layout option is available to owners of spacious square meters.
The chosen place should provide a wide view from any point in the room. The walls opposite and on the sides of the screen should not have windows, otherwise indirect and direct sunlight will illuminate the image. You should also avoid direct artificial light on the screen of the device. Heating appliances should not be located near the TV cabinet.
The distance from the chair or sofa to the transmitter is an important parameter when determining the location of the TV. The calculation of the distance is carried out by simple mathematical operations - the screen diagonal is multiplied by three. Compliance with this condition will avoid the effect of eye fatigue and save your eyesight when watching programs.
The furniture market has a rich range of "pedestals" for TV broadcasting devices. Properly selected furniture product will harmoniously fit into the interior of the room, creating comfortable conditions for watching television channels.
