Choosing a TV rack

How to choose a wardrobe, headset or desk, most people understand more or less clearly. Problems can arise when it comes time to choose a TV rack. This topic needs to be dealt with very carefully.

A good TV rack is always made with shelves that are used to store various things. Moreover, it is usually visually light. Quite an attractive solution is a harmonious combination of wood and metal elements. Compared to old-fashioned furniture, shelving today has ceased to be bulky, it has become an elegant and neat product.

Of course, external lightness is deceiving - structurally, this furniture is still strong and reliable. The rack makes it easy to get to any item you need. Even visually, it will be visible immediately. The shelves can be decorated in any way, and then it is trivial to change the composition.

But it is worth paying attention to the following negative points:

• constant accumulation of dust and the need to clean the rack with a wet method;
• any mess will stand out immediately;
• a high-quality shelving unit is not cheap, and its good-quality design is very expensive.

The simple floor rack is widely known. In them, the shelves are placed either strictly symmetrically or with a certain asymmetry in relation to each other. This is solely determined by the decisions of the designers. The floor solution is widely used in studio apartments. It allows you to comfortably place both the TV itself and a number of other things.

But in small rooms, it is advisable to use a corner rack. He will help out in the corridors and other difficult places. The fully open storage system adds a touch of coziness. The shelves can be placed at different heights. As for the dimensions, in most cases they are 1.8x0.9 - 3x0.25 - 0.45 m.

The difference may also apply to materials. Solid wood shelving is environmentally friendly and hygienic. But they are prohibitively expensive. In appearance, structures with MDF are not inferior to them, while the cost is noticeably less. Another budget option is the use of chipboard.

Metal products are distinguished by their strength and serve for a long time. If the shelves are made of tempered glass, they will look light and will not overload the space. If it is difficult to choose one material, you just need to combine them. If you have problems with the choice of color, you should give preference to the traditional white color.

In modern styles, metal shelving is usually preferred. But the classics are much better "friends" with natural wood. In general, the color is purely individual. A unique design solution always looks interesting, even if it is not so indisputable. In addition, it should be said about the shelves with tape and spotlights - both options will add attractiveness.

But a TV rack is not only a functional element. It can also become a full-fledged interior decoration. It is logical to put the shelving on the main wall. Truth, additionally take into account whether souvenirs will be placed on the shelves or not. In the first case, everything must be placed so that things are where they will be looked for with a glance.It should be understood that installing the TV strictly in the center of the longest wall is outdated, although this recommendation can still be found in a variety of sources. A slight offset away from the center is entirely justified.

You just need to imagine in your mind whether everything will look organic in such a case. This "simulation" will give the exact answer.

The following recommendations should be adhered to:

• put a rack in the hall along the narrowest wall;
• use it in a large room to divide the space in half;
• in a studio apartment, it is worth installing a TV rack in the working area;
• refuse to divide a rectangular room by a rack, since there it will be more appropriate against the wall itself.

It is not at all necessary to limit yourself to considering ready-made options from IKEA. Moreover, it is there that it is difficult, even almost impossible, to find the most suitable type of such furniture. It is worth taking a closer look at the products of the leading European manufacturer Sonorous. The stands produced under this brand have long become the standard of quality and pleasant style.

The furniture from Munari is also noteworthy. This company is one of the leaders in the market for high-quality television furniture. The experience gained over 40 years allows us to apply excellent solutions. In addition, Italian developers use materials of exceptional quality. Another great option is the Russian brand "Angstrem".
