    The audiovisual landscape has changed considerably over the last few years, thanks in particular to the technological revolution initiated by flat screens. This phenomenon has not remained without consequence on the furniture market, and particularly on TV furniture, whose ranges are constantly expanding. TV furniture is an essential part of your living room, dining room or bedroom.

    Whether you are an amateur or a true movie buff, television is now omnipresent in most homes. Synonymous with conviviality and relaxation (with family, friends or during your evenings together), it deserves a piece of furniture of choice and an adapted location to perfect the atmosphere of your room.

    However, it is not always easy to find one's way around the diversity of models offered, between their styles, their dimensions, their storage, etc. Here are all the essential criteria to remember in order to choose your new TV stand serenely and efficiently.

    FIND THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR YOUR TV STAND

    We tend to forget it too often, but the first thing to do when you plan to furnish your home with a TV stand is obviously to find the perfect place for it in the room you have dedicated to it. Ideally, it should be placed in front of your seat (for example your sofa, armchair or bed). This allows you to improve your immersion by keeping an optimal posture while watching your favorite series or movies.

    In order not to alter your visual comfort, it is particularly recommended to place your furniture away from light rays. The latter are likely to cause disturbing reflections on your screen. The recommended distance between your TV and your seat is about 2 to 5 meters, taking into account the size of your screen and its definition (HD, Full HD, Ultra HD 4 or 8 K, etc.).

    THE TV STAND: SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS

    The shape and dimensions of your TV stand must be adapted to the size and weight of your TV as well as to the style and surface of your room. Explore more on Homary.com. In order to ensure optimal and continuous visual comfort, it is necessary that your screen be adjusted to the height of your seat. Indeed, you will have to take into account the characteristics of your sofa.

    If you simply want to put your television on its integrated support on your TV stand, the length of the latter must be greater than that of your screen, thus providing it with perfect stability. This will also allow you to elegantly decorate your furniture by adding your home cinema equipment and/or decorative accessories of your choice.

    If you opt for a fixed or adjustable wall mount to enhance your TV screen, it will ideally be centered above your TV cabinet, for a more modern and sleek look. For narrower surfaces, don't panic! There are many models that will perfectly meet your expectations. And if the layout of your home allows it, you can also opt for a corner TV stand or a low TV stand (more commonly called "TV bench"). The latter are as practical as they are attractive and less imposing, so you won't lose any living space.

    AND THE AESTHETICS IN ALL THIS?

    Whatever the atmosphere of your home, your TV stand remains a piece of furniture in its own right and must naturally blend in with your room. In order to precisely meet your needs, a wide range of models with different materials of choice will adapt with elegance to your furniture and/or architecture.

    For a rustic and authentic atmosphere, the dark wood TV stand, like the solid oak, easily adapts to a "country house" atmosphere. The light wood, on the other hand, brings a softer and more contemporary touch to your interior. The lacquered TV stand, with its shine and chic look, or the glass TV stand, for its transparent effect, will dress up your living room or dining room with refinement for a more modern and contemporary atmosphere. The industrial TV stand, composed of metal, wood and glass elements depending on the model, will mainly find its place in spacious interiors, especially in "loft" type apartments.

    MORE AND MORE STORAGE SPACE!

    Finding a design and functional piece of furniture for your television, matching with taste and style to your interior atmosphere, is now completely feasible and accessible to all. Whatever the size of your room and your storage needs, you will easily find the right piece of furniture to perfectly showcase your television.
