TV stands matter a lot when it comes to pleasant and comfortable television watching. They contribute to the TV viewing experience as much as the TV itself, making it more or less enjoyable.
A simple example is the height of the TV stand. If it offers a viewing angle above the eye level, you will have a stiff neck, or worse, cervical spondylosis within no time. And if that angle is below eye level, nothing can save you from developing a hunch, neck pain, and improper sitting posture.
Unfortunately, the importance of a well-designed TV console is often overlooked while making a purchase. If you are about to buy a new TV stand, don’t make that mistake. Follow the tips given here for a well-performing TV stand, not just a good-looking one.
What Should You Consider While Choosing a TV Stand?
When choosing a TV stand, these are the main touch-points:
Your TV stand should blend harmoniously with the room décor. You would certainly not want a unit that makes a jarring contrast with your sofa, curtains, or wall color. Next, your TV console should align with the other furniture pieces in terms of material and styling. In short, it should look as if you bought the TV set along with the other furniture, not separately.
Be mindful of the material. The most tried-and-tested materials are wood, processed wood, and metal. Don’t experiment with any other fancy materials that might pose a risk to your television set.
Check for storage space. This is particularly important if you have a compact home and need your furniture to double up as storage units. TV stands with bottom cabinets serve this purpose well.
Does the TV stand have shelves? They offer you display areas for your decor items and other display objects. It can also serve as a bookstand.
