How to successfully decorate a TV stand?

In terms of decoration, the television area is sometimes underestimated. However, its place is central in a home, since it usually occupies a privileged position in the heart of the living room. Matching the decoration of the TV stand with the rest of the layout is therefore often a major issue for the proper layout of the living room. Find some food for thought and decorative ideas for a well-decorated TV stand!

Choosing the right TV stand

Let's start at the beginning: the choice of TV stand. Because it is after all he who dictates the tone of the decoration. As far as it is concerned, the possibilities are almost endless, as there are so many models, shapes, colors, styles, etc.

The style of furniture

The TV stand should reflect the personality of your interior. We therefore try at least to have furniture that matches the other furniture in the room. For an industrial decoration for example, metal is of course a must to bring this raw cachet inspired by old factories. For a more Scandinavian spirit, solid wood will be appropriate, especially if it is light in color, like a pretty oak TV cabinet. For a more modern and contemporary interior, plain, neutral and timeless colors are popular, like white, black or anthracite.

Cabinet height

The height of the cabinet will also affect the aesthetic appearance of the room. It is clear that we see more and more suspended tv furniture. They attach to the wall for an airy effect full of lightness. Note that it is also an arrangement designed to save space by freeing up floor space.

The other solution, more classic and less risky, is to bet on the traditional TV cabinet on foot. The height of the tray will be important here, if you want to have the flat screen at the right height. Otherwise, when the television is a little secondary, and the tv bench, with its low structure, will be ideal for decorating the living room in a minimalist and refined setting.

Original TV stands for an extraordinary decor

From design to functionality, there are TV stands in the market with an original style from different design like Homary, IKEA, Crateandbarrel or Jossandmain. We particularly think of the TV cabinet on wheels which reminds us a little of the workshop loft atmosphere. It can be seen as a gadget or simply aesthetic, but can also be used in moving interiors that we like to change regularly. Slightly more advanced and ingenious furniture, with a modular or sliding top, can also combine business with pleasure and compose a living room with a fun and original decor.

The TV stand as decorative furniture

Far too often, television furniture is confined to its primary function, that of support for the television. However, it would be a shame to deprive yourself of its assets. It is after all a piece of furniture like any other, with significant aesthetic potential.

This can be reflected in the elements that make up the TV cabinet, such as attractively worked doors. For example, an openwork metal door gives a nice graphic look. Those in rattan cane conceive a natural universe. Others adorn themselves with patterns to embellish the living space.

A beautiful decorative stand

The shelves inside the cabinet are also an asset that we would be wrong to do without. Let's take the opportunity to slip in trinkets, flower pots and all the

Finally, the tray remains the centerpiece to decorate it and harmonize it with the surrounding atmosphere. Depending on the length of this tray, various objects can be placed to add a personal touch. Add some greenery here for that refreshing, leafy side that does any interior a favor!

Divert it from its main function

This versatile piece of furniture has plenty of cards up its sleeve. We transform it and we exploit it differently to decorate the living room. In particular, it can be used as a cabinet for a speaker or the turntable, with the vinyl stored next to it.

Storage for a better organized decor

For a less cluttered decor, and a little more organization in the TV lounge area, opt for a piece of furniture with storage. Doors, drawers, lockers open to the living room… it depends on the needs. But storing as many things as possible in it, such as remote controls, magazines and all these multimedia devices, will be a plus for ordering the living room and having a visual impression of zen.

A perfect match with the coffee table

In the living room or in a specific TV corner, the coffee table set and the TV cabinet are inseparable. Best friends for life, one does not go without the other. They complement each other and form a powerful duo, as they are generally located opposite each other. This is why the good idea is to combine them intelligently to decorate the room. Through a reminder of color or the use of the same materials, a link can be made between the two. Otherwise, furnishing a living room with these two pieces of furniture from the same collection will ensure a stay that is aesthetically well coordinated.

Light up the TV stand

A frighteningly simple trick to decorate the TV stand is to add light to it. Some modern televisions are surrounded by LED strips for an ultra modern effect. Some TV cabinets include blue or white LED lighting to illuminate the glass fronts or glass shelves. This contemporary effect has its followers, even if we prefer the lights a little simpler and softer. Install a beautiful designer floor lamp to effectively illuminate this salon treatment. Otherwise, another idea may be to install a small table lamp on the top of the furniture.
