TV Stands
TV stands come in many different shapes and sizes to fit any room, from smaller options perfect for just your television to giant entertainment systems that keep your living space organized and stylish.
Media stands can function as an open display to show off DVD and CD collections or they can be enclosed to provide more discrete storage. When choosing a TV stand, your final decision should be based on a few factors such as your personal style, available space and required functionality. Staples has a variety of television stands suitable for any room and entertainment setup. Learn more below.
How Do You Choose a TV Stand?
When choosing a TV stand, there are many factors to consider. These play an important role in ensuring that your television stand is equipped with the proper space and features to contain all of your entertainment equipment and media. Some things to take into account when choosing a TV stand include:
Make Sure Your Television Stand Is the Right Size
If your television is 40 inches or more, you should think about how much space the TV stand will take up and plan accordingly. If you have the space, seek out styles that are wider than your display to prevent it from hanging off the sides. While modern LED TVs typically feature a base that allows for even weight distribution, you still run the risk of bumping into your display and knocking your expensive device over if the TV stand is too small. Additionally, make sure to refer to the product’s specifications to ensure that it can hold enough weight for your equipment as well.
Consider Media Storage and Organization
Keeping your TV stand free of clutter and hiding cables is a great way to ensure that there will be nothing in the way of the sensor that makes your remote control work. Consider getting a TV stand with storage to organize CDs, DVDs and other media items like video games, consoles and accessories. Large television stands are perfect for organizing all sorts of different electronics and gear in a compact, centralized location.
If you want to have decor featured on your TV stand, seek out units with broad tabletop space.
Choose a Stylish Media Stand
Not all TV stands look the same; they come in a wide variety of decorative styles alongside different organizational elements. From staggered shelving to rounded bases and asymmetrical shapes, there are TV stands that can blend with any room’s decor or any home’s aesthetic. Go with simple geometric lines and open shelving to embody a modern minimalist feel. Additionally, neutral colors can brighten any room and make it feel more spacious, while dark solids and clean lines are perfect for making any living space feel cozier.
