TV takes pride of place in any home. Some people hang the plasma on the wall, others prefer to install it in a special niche. However, the most practical way is to buy a TV stand. Furniture manufacturers offer stylish TV stands that help hide unnecessary wires, fit into the interior and add zest to it. We bring to your attention useful tips on how to create universal furniture specifically for your interior.
Review of modern models of TV stands
So, have you decided to place your TV on a stand in a non-standard way, or do you intend to use it for various lectures and presentations in the future?
The offer in stores today is much wider than a few years ago, and it is not always easy to navigate. We will help you clarify which type of holder to choose for your TV, monitor or tablet.
Quality television stands for conferences are becoming increasingly popular. If you often have to move from place to place, you will certainly appreciate the lightest ones, which are lightweight and do not take up much space. However, their carrying capacity is limited and they rarely carry more than 10 kg.
- You can also choose depending on the design used. Stands can be divided into three groups: static, mobile and rotating.
- Static ones provide only the basic function of supporting the device, but can usually be securely attached to the floor.
- Mobile models are best used if the location of company presentations and events has to be changed frequently.
- Swivel stands provide maximum viewing comfort due to optimal screen rotation. They are available in static and mobile versions.
Regardless of the purchasing process, take the height and put it on. TV stands for presentations and general use are the best ones that allow you to conveniently adjust the height of the screen.
You can also find models with electric drive in online stores. Their use makes handling the stand as easy as possible.
Materials
Modern TV stands are made from a variety of materials: glass, wood, veneer, metal, chipboard and others. In accordance with this, their prices are also varied. Products made from MDF and glass are considered the most budget-friendly. But solid wood is much more expensive, and therefore is used quite rarely. This material is used to produce mainly piece goods, decorating them with carvings.
When choosing a material, in addition to price, health safety is also important. The most environmentally friendly material is wood. It is hypoallergenic and does not emit harmful substances.
Safe furniture is considered to be products made from MDF coated with melamine and veneer. The latter consists of strips of valuable wood (walnut, oak, cherry, wenge) no more than 1 mm thick. It has a beautiful texture and also prevents the evaporation of harmful impurities from chipboard and MDF.
Criteria for choosing a TV stand
If you are choosing a TV stand for home use, it is expected that it will usually be placed in the same place. An important criterion is its stability.
- Therefore, when choosing a specific type, you need to pay attention to the load capacity. Another parameter is the compatibility of the stand with the TV.
- Often in relation to TVs, the so-called VESA standard is used, which shows the distance between the threaded holes on the back of the TV.
- When choosing a VESA stand, it must be compatible with your TV. If you do not know how to solve this problem, you should consult the seller before purchasing the selected product.
How to choose a TV stand for lectures?
TV stands for presentations and lectures are somewhat of a category in their own right. Here you have several options, depending on how often you use them.
Stores with these accessories, for example, have static stands available that are much more suitable for regular lectures where there is no need to move the TV or monitor.
- If you plan to move around the room with a stand, it is better to choose rotating or mobile TV stands for conferences and lectures.
- The load-bearing capacity rule also applies here. It should always be greater than the weight of the TV or monitor, which gives the structure increased stability.
Which interior should you choose a glass TV stand for?
Glass TV stands will fit well into an interior where metal, concrete, and stone predominate. Thanks to the light, floating perception of such furniture, you are free to choose the color scheme of the environment without restrictions: even noble and deep dark shades will not seem heavy when glass furniture or weightless hanging cabinets are used together with them.
Furniture in the constructivist style has unexpectedly returned to Western trends. These are the lines and shapes we are familiar with, characteristic of cabinet furniture of the Soviet period. Also today, it is customary to fit into a modern interior exclusive consoles with a special, colorful mood in appearance: referring us to Indonesian masterpieces of wood carving, rare models or modern aged cabinet designs.
Pay attention to the design of the cabinet
The design of the stands is important for their stability and durability. Therefore, it is important to choose a product whose design is made of durable material.
Today, manufacturers most often use aluminum structures that meet strength requirements.
Even a regular small tablet stand with aluminum construction can withstand a load of about 10 kg. More durable TV stands usually have a load capacity of 40-50 kg, which is quite enough for modern types of TVs and monitors.
Tablet stands
Today, tablets are increasingly used instead of conventional monitors and televisions. Even in this case, you can buy special light stands.
Some types can even be permanently attached to the floor. This is again an ideal tool for small conference rooms and classrooms, for example.
Color block
The idea of color zoning in the interior is more difficult to implement, but looks very impressive. To do this, you can paint the ceiling + walls or the ceiling, walls and floor of the living room with a single stripe in one color (or 2-3 tones of the same color). In this option, it is important that the cornices, baseboards, doors, and furniture falling within the color zone are painted with the same paint within the boundaries of the highlighted bright stripe. That is, a long TV stand in an interior with such a design technique may go beyond the boundaries of the color band, and then part of it outside these boundaries should be left in a neutral shade (white, black or with a natural wood texture), and the rest of it should be “masked” in a single color with the rest of the zoning space.
You can go from the opposite: if you like an original TV stand of a non-standard color, then you can take it as a basis and color block it with this particular shade. The advantage of color zoning is the simplicity of the reception, as well as the illusion of expanding even a small space due to the clearly divided space into functional zones.
Projector Mounts and Stands
Projectors are also suitable for lectures and at home. Thanks to them, you can watch TV or lecture slides in a large format on a canvas that you hang on the wall. However, it is important that each such projector is located far enough from the screen. In this case, the recommended distance will directly depend on the specific type of projector.
An equally important aspect is its correct location. Ideally, you have a projector suspended from the ceiling. For these purposes, it is necessary to purchase special holders for projectors. There are not only ceiling-mounted, but also wall-mounted options that are attached with self-tapping screws.
An alternative is projector stands. Thanks to them, the projector can be easily manipulated. For example, after speaking at a lecture, it can easily be moved from the hall to the office. Such stands are often used in schools.
Design Features
The hanging TV stand does not come into contact with the floor and is permanently attached to the wall using furniture canopies. Each such mount consists of 2 movably fastened metal plates, is designed for a load of at least 120 kg and, after installing the furniture, allows you to adjust its position in height and depth by 2 cm. Canopies are placed at least along the edges of the cabinet, and for greater reliability - even and in the center. When installing wall furniture, it is important to ensure uniform load distribution.
Such furniture does not require rearrangement - to move it to another place, you will have to install new supports, dismantle old fasteners and repair the wall. But if you have precisely chosen the location for installing the TV stand and do not plan to rearrange it, the wall-mounted model will be an excellent choice for you.
Purchase of stands and holders
There are quite a few benefits to purchasing these products online. The fact is that in classic stores you can often find only two or three ordinary types of stands, which are more like a case for collecting scrap metal.
- There is no need to talk about design or beautiful shape in this case.
- Modern manufacturing companies offer a wide selection of TV stands for lectures, conferences and home use.
- The product range also includes the aforementioned tablet stands as well as hanging or ceiling mounts for projectors.
For all products, data on load capacity, construction material and other properties are provided. Including whether they are static, rotating or moving.
White cabinet and interior styles
White color is the basis of many interior styles (Scandinavian, modern). A snow-white cabinet will look good both in a classic setting and in a Provence room. The classic version of the model is made of wood with carvings and forged elements. Such furniture will add softness and a bright accent.
The product will easily fit into rooms of other styles:
- Empire style White furniture eliminates unnecessary pomp.
- Neoclassical. The direction is based on white furnishings.
- Mediterranean. Snow-white shades support the magic of romance.
- Minimalism. Low and narrow white matte cabinet.
Such a cabinet can become a bright accent, a highlight of the interior. Any white model is a sophistication of form, purity of color, and the creation of a cozy atmosphere. Since modern cabinets are compact, they are suitable even for a small room.
