Choosing a narrow TV stand

There is a TV set in almost every home. By tradition, a curbstone is often placed under it. Even if the equipment is mounted on the wall, such furniture is never superfluous due to its versatility.

Narrow pedestals differ from other options in their small depth. In this case, the height and width can be different. Consider the benefits of such pieces of furniture.

• Compactness. Narrow bedside tables fit perfectly into non-standard, narrow and small spaces. However, they do not interfere with the freedom of movement around the room.
• Functionality. Many models have shelves and drawers that allow you to place any items in them.
• A wide range of products in various shapes and sizes. The variability in width and height allows you to choose an option suitable for direct installation of the TV, and for creating the effect of "floating" due to the free space between objects.
• Variety of designs. Today on sale you can find a narrow cabinet made in any style - from elegant classics to strict minimalism. Various colors, materials, finishing options.

Modern manufacturers offer cabinets of various parameters. First of all, there are 2 types of pedestals in terms of depth (width of the table top).

• With a maximum depth (from 30 cm to 35 cm). This size allows the furniture to be used as a stand for modern technology and decor. Such models are considered the most stable and reliable. With regard to the possibility of storing things, such cabinets are the most practical.
• With a depth of 20 cm to 25. Such products are suitable for small spaces. The narrow table top does not allow placing objects on it, including the TV. However, some little things can be placed inside such furniture. Also, such a curbstone can itself be a decoration of the room (for example, being part of a headset).

The height of the products can also vary.

• Low models. The height of such products is from 30 to 50 cm. This allows you to place television equipment with a large diagonal above the curbstone.
• High options. This is furniture with a height of 60 cm. If you choose a long model with an impressive height, you can place a lot of things in it. The main thing is to take into account at what height the TV will be located, because for easy viewing it is better to place it at the level of the users' eyes.

Retro elegance never goes out of style. These cabinets are always on the floor. They can have graceful legs, ornaments in the form of patina, carved patterns, vintage fittings. Facade shades are restrained, warm (nutty, sandy, creamy). Neoclassicism allows for a cold white tone.

Today, such furniture can be found more often in country houses. The aesthetics of retro design can also be traced here, only simplicity takes the place of luxury. This is furniture made of wood or its imitation, painted in light shades. (white, pale blue, light gray, pistachio, etc.).

Sideboards in modern style are often suspended. Minimalism assumes maximum brevity. There is no place for decorations, patterns, ornate decor. As a rule, such furniture does not even have fittings. Drawers and compartments are opened by pressing the front. Preference is given to pure neutral colors (white, black, gray). Bright colors are rarely used in this case, as they distract attention from the screen. However, if you wish, you can find a model in red, purple or other juicy shades.

When choosing a TV stand, it is important to consider a few points. Only in this case the purchase will be successful, it will fit well into the room and will delight you for a long time.

Even if a decision is made to buy a narrow curbstone, it is worth deciding in advance exactly what depth it will have (from 20 to 35 cm).

It is important to consider whether the TV will stand on a stand or hang over it. Remember that the size of the furniture does not always determine the load capacity. This figure depends on the material and build quality. Therefore, it is better to consider options from reliable and durable raw materials.

The appearance of the cabinet should be in harmony with other furniture in the room.

If you choose a modern model, you should decide on the type of installation. You can purchase a floor or hanging cabinet. Keep in mind that if the furniture is very narrow, you may need to fix it to the wall anyway. This will eliminate the risk of the structure falling. In this case, the legs will only perform a decorative function.

Suspended models have many advantages. They look stylish, visually increase the space, create a feeling of lightness of the environment. In addition, the lack of feet makes cleaning much easier. The main thing in this case is to make sure that the fasteners are reliable (the quality of the parts and the correct installation).

On the other side, in some interior styles, suspended structures look strange... Therefore, floor models are bought. The evenness of the floor is of great importance here. If there are drops, the structure will stagger. The best option in this case is a model with adjustable legs, the height of which can be changed by twisting.
