The way you display your TV can set the foundation for your entire room. So, when it comes to deciding on what kind of TV stand or entertainment centerpiece you need, it’s important to know what your choices are. Here are 6 different styles that we’ve broken down for you ...
Hideaway Cabinet Stand
Have you ever felt like you couldn’t get away from technology? From cell phones to computers to televisions, it’s hard to go a day without looking at a screen. With a hideaway TV stand, you may find that you can actually avoid some of that screen time. These types of TV stands tend to be massive, framing your television but also providing a sliding door of some sort to cover your TV when it’s not being watched. These entertainment centers come with a lot of cabinets and drawer space so they are great for storing DVDs, remotes, game consoles, and whatever else you might find relevant to put away in them.
Also, if you are a lover of wood-styled furniture, these big TV stands will fit in perfectly with your home’s aesthetic.
Floating Shelves
If you are trying to broaden your horizons during this TV stand dilemma, floating shelves will really help open up the room. For this style, you’ll need to mount your television to the wall and add a long shelf to go right underneath your screen. This clean approach will remove clutter and distractions from your sight and add more space for when you’re enjoying your flicks.
Console Table
If you’re struggling with whether you want to mount your TV on the wall or if you want to get a TV stand, a console table will give you the best of both worlds! Go ahead and mount your TV while placing a console table underneath it so that you have a spot for your digital cable box, DVD player, and more.
Of course, if later you decide that you don’t want your TV mounted anymore and would rather it stand up, your console table will easily be able to hold it.
Hutch
A hutch refers to a piece of furniture that has cabinets connected atop a desk or table unit with either cabinets or drawers below it. While you might find this piece of furniture in your kitchen sporting all your grandmother’s antique dishes, there are hutch style entertainment centers made for your television to nestle right in the center.
Like the hideaway, this style is good for storing anything from your remote controls to your Xbox games.
None
When you’re a minimalist with the mantra “less is more,” then maybe the best kind of TV stand for you is none at all. Stop cluttering up your viewing room with unnecessary furniture, mount your television on the wall and instead put some small floating shelves below and above your TV for decorating purposes. Or just leave it how it is! Just because everyone these days owns some sort of entertainment center, that doesn’t mean you need to follow suit. In fact, the less you’ve got going on in your TV room, the less distracted you’ll get!
