Each type has its own characteristics - not every bedside table is suitable for a large TV of the "Soviet" sample. The size, shape, color design should also correspond to the area, the stylistic decision of the room. Many coasters are equipped with convenient storage space.

With bracket

This bollard is quite high, it has an inclined-swivel bracket, with which you can easily change the viewing angle of the screen, turning it from side to side.

Most often, the decorative shelf has a great length, decorating the room, visually expanding the space, bringing lightness and a sense of spaciousness to the interior. At the bottom there is a space that allows you to conveniently do wet cleaning of the room.

With a dresser

The floor stand has a long tabletop, most often of rectangular shape. It is very interesting, functional - it is not only a design for placement of media equipment, but also an excellent container of movie discs, books, and other different things.

Corner models

In the bedroom, kitchen, cramped living room is best to put a corner bedside table - it saves space, without cluttering the room. The design resembles the usual floor, may have the shape of a triangle, oval, polygon. It is very stable, but models with a shelf depth of more than fifty centimeters can “cut off” a significant piece of the room. In the cabinet can be located a lot of closed, open shelves, drawers. Materials manufacturing can be almost any.

Basic rules of choice

Choose a cabinet should be in accordance with the size of the existing TV or one that you plan to buy. The style, the room space should also be taken into account - for some rooms a large, monumental view of a wooden stand covering the whole wall will fit, but it will fit into others, only a modest corner of transparent glass will look good. Among other things, care should be taken to place all kinds of accessories - this will also require a model of a certain type, shape. In modern interiors, there are often drawers with drawers, but without handles - to open them, just push the door a little.

When choosing this piece of furniture you need to evaluate:

• reliability of fasteners, the quality of all moving parts, if any;
• dimensions - the size is chosen 15-20 centimeters more than the length of the larger side of the screen;
• mobility - for rooms where redevelopment will be soon, it is better not to buy corner models. Light construction is easier to move around the apartment;
• safety - materials are preferred environmentally friendly, without odors. It is desirable that the edges are rounded and none of the family members are accidentally injured, the far protruding fittings should be the minimum number;
• functional - if there is a lot of space in the cabinet, then a large chest of drawers or wardrobe may not be needed at all;
• colors - black, white, wood-colored designs are considered almost universal, but when you design the room in other colors, the bedside table is also chosen appropriate.

When choosing a model for a child’s or teenager’s room, his opinion on the subject should be taken into account.

TV size and room

A good TV is expensive - often buying a new one is very problematic. Therefore, it is important to place it in such a way that the risk of falling is minimal. For this, the cabinet is chosen so long that the edges of the TV do not protrude beyond its borders - the probability of accidentally hooking it with your hand or the edge of clothing will be vanishingly small.

The size of the TV in relation to the area of ​​the room is a very important characteristic. The larger the room, the larger the screen in it can be harmoniously placed. Recommended distances from the screen to the viewer's eyes, for a comfortable viewing are approximately the following:

• with a diagonal of 32 inches - 1.6-2.3 meters;
• 37 inches - 2-2,8 meters;
• 40 inches - 2.5-3 meters;
• 50 inches - 3.1-4 meters;
• 65 inches - 3.5-4.5 meters and others.

The distance also depends on the image quality: for Full HD it will be less, for 4K Ultra HD - more. A large screen is placed in a spacious living room, and a small one in a bedroom, nursery, kitchen. The height to the middle of the screen is ideally 1.5 meters from the floor.

Stylistics and colors of the interior

A well-chosen cabinet will perfectly fit into any interior. For a classic neoclassical style, art deco, a carved wooden construction, covered with a thin layer of varnish. The space around the TV can be made out of the same carved frame, the color of which coincides with the stand. Other furniture is also preferred wooden, with a natural texture, figured legs.

The Scandinavian style has a simple rectangular shape, and the color is predominantly white, gray, pale pink, in ivory. This is a floor or suspended structure made of wood, chipboard, plastic. The overall interior design of this style is also very light with a dotted addition of a small amount of bright contrasts - black, slate-gray, brown. A large amount of natural materials is welcomed.

Rough metal floor construction is suitable for the loft style, but in order to avoid injuries it should not have sharp corners. The curbstone will look organically against the background of brick walls, "under the brick" wallpaper, it can be beautifully combined with decorative coloring of radiators or any other pipes. Such a model often has comfortable wheels, it can be partially made of wood, resembling an old chest.

A bedside table in the form of a fireplace is a very original purchase. For Provence style, some types of ethnic it will be the best solution. The design stylized under the Russian stove also belongs to the same series - it is almost completely white, and in the "tube" there are closed shelves. For the successful placement of this piece of furniture will need a lot of space - in a small room the element will not look good enough.

If the apartment is decorated in the style of art-believe, then you can put together a TV stand on your own from euro pallets, which are sold cheaply by many firms or donated to shops. Pallets are fastened with nails, painted in any color, varnished. It is desirable that all the furniture around was made of the same material. It is also very important that the surface is well polished, the design itself comes out stable enough so that the screen does not accidentally fall off it.

The possibility of placing accessories

Accessories for TV stands are:

• various boxes through which they pull the cable;
• all types of lighting, including electric fire or electric aquarium;
• springs, supports;
• anti-vibration discs;
• additional shelves, drawers;
• additional racks for acoustics.

Many details are universal, and therefore suitable for any thumbs. When buying a design of the original form, the presence of the above-mentioned parts, the possibility of their attachment should be clarified with the seller.

Additional elements

Each bedside table has different features that increase its functionality and appearance. These include:

• the wheels - they are mounted on the bottom of the floor construction, which greatly facilitate the movement from place to place. It is important that they can be fixed motionless; otherwise, in any awkward movement, the pedestal can go to the other end of the room, and the TV can fall, break;
• technological openings - are placed on the back wall. They run the cable from the TV, DVD, speaker system, game console, so that they are not confused and were hardly noticeable;
• storage space - it can be open shelves, drawers, compartments, rotating racks, consoles on the sides, etc .;
• door design - swing or sliding. The latter allow you to save a little space, as they are disclosed on the coupe principle. There are doors without handles, which can be opened with one touch, they swing open both down and up in hanging pedestals.

Accommodation Rules

In the living room, the TV is usually placed in the center of the larger wall - here it occupies the place of honor.

This placement is justified for several reasons:

• a beautiful cabinet, which fits well with the interior, improves the appearance of the room;
• when using some models, an illusion of the abundance of free space in a very small area is created;
• a spacious nightstand allows you to store a lot of necessary things in it;
• the design of the living room becomes more functional;
• if the design is long and narrow, then with a flat screen, it fits best.

In the interiors, decorated "antique", TV is often disguised as a picture, with the help of the appropriate environment - wall sconces, picture frame, large clocks. Stand with a TV should stand so that it was comfortable to watch, the eyes and neck are not tired.
