How to choose the perfect TV stand for a luxurious living room

Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect TV stand for your space, and for yours and your family’s individual needs.

With the new year now just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the improvements you’d like to make to your lifestyle – and that includes your living spaces at home. If you’ve splurged on the latest HD television for Christmas, then ensuring it’s displayed attractively is key, as loose wires can quickly detract from the luxurious aesthetic you’ve worked hard to create. Plus, after spending a sizable sum on a brand new TV, you’ll want to do it justice by ensuring it’s free to stand in all its glory and become the focal point of your living room.

If you’re looking for a luxurious new TV stand but aren’t sure where to start then the good news is that there are some simple ways to ensure that you choose the perfect piece of furniture for your home, and to enhance your viewing pleasure.

For 2023, designers and décor devotees are advocating high-quality heirloom pieces that show off a well-designed space, and while it might seem like a small element, your TV stand should be in keeping with that. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect TV stand for your space, and for yours and your family’s individual needs.

Measure up – and maximise your viewing angle

Before you start shopping, decide exactly where within the room you envisage placing your TV, and measure the area so that you know exactly how much space you realistically have to work with. This will help you to determine what kind of size stand you need to look for, as well as the shape of the stand you need – for example, if you plan to position your screen in the corner of the room, you’ll need to seek out a corner unit that is specifically designed to fit, while if you’ve got an entire wall to play with, you can take your pick of extravagant units.

Realcozy has a selection of corner TV stands in a range of sizes, décor styles, and colours. Placing your TV in a corner helps maximize the viewable angle, so if your living room features a large ‘open concept’ space, this stylish TV stand is a great option. Make sure to leave enough space around the stand for easy movement and to prevent any accidents, it will also avoid creating a sense of clutter, as this can quickly detract from the overall viewing experience.

Consider your personal taste

The TV stand you choose should complement the overall style of your living room, so if your space is modern and minimalistic then a sleek, sophisticated and uncomplicated TV stand would be a good choice. If your living room exudes a more traditional aesthetic, on the other hand, then a wooden TV stand with intricate detailing might be a better fit.

Take some time to think about the current look of your living room and what you’d like to achieve by adding your latest piece of furniture, ensuring that it not only fits in with your own personal space, but that it fits seamlessly amongst your other favourite furnishings without looking out of place, too.

Think about functionality

To ensure you’re not forgetting about practicality, consider exactly what you will be using your TV stand for – besides the obvious, of course. Will you be storing other items, like DVDs or gaming consoles, on it as well as the TV itself? If so then you’ll want to look for a stand with ample storage space to accommodate them – while if you have a lot of cords and cables, you might want to look for a stand with built-in cable management features to keep things looking neat and tidy.

Always choose quality

A hand-crafted TV stand has the power to take your living space to another level in terms of design. Realcozy TV stands feature real wood solids and veneers with engineered wood, and are built to last at the company’s Arizona facility.

By considering these factors, you’ll be able to easily find the perfect TV stand for your living room, no stress required. The right stand will make for a stylish and functional piece that enhances your home entertainment experience, and gives your living room that luxe look you’ve been dreaming of for the new year.
