Corner TV Unit / Stand Design

Buying Guide

Corner TV units make good use of that odd bit of space that never seems to have any furniture that fits just quite right, or they can create a focal point in your living room. These unique television stands utilize space that is often lost when positioning furniture that is primarily square or rectangular – such as couches, end tables, coffee tables or shelving units.

What are the advantages of corner TV units?

Protection for your TV

Modern flat screen TVs are often unstable when they are not placed next to a wall or similar protective area. A corner placement gives two protective walls on which television hangers can be placed to stabilize the unit. This is important when there are pets or small children who will play nearby.

Good Storage for Movies or Game Consoles

Often shaped like a bow window, corner units provide plenty of space for storing movies in all sorts of formats, or even for stashing cable or game consoles. Add a sectional couch that can be grouped so that it faces the TV, and place remotes or game controllers in a storage space located in or on it, and you have an organizational arrangement that just can’t be beaten – unless you top it off with a coffee table that has hidden seating and more concealed storage.

Use of Odd Corners

A bow-fronted corner unit can make use of those odd places where nothing seems to quite fit. It might be a sort of ell next to the hall between kitchen and living room or that odd wall bump that hides the entrance to the bathroom. It might be backed by the pantry, a handy thing to have next to the television when viewers are struck by the late-night munchies.

How to decorate with corner TV units?

The unit can become the focal point for the room, and can be styled to go with almost any décor, from minimalist modern to ornate Victorian with polished wood and extreme gingerbread. A modernist unit with plain wood top and bottom and glass ends is an excellent choice for the minimalist decorator. A faux wood country hutch with an electric fireplace combines the attraction of weathered wood, a fireplace and the window-to-the-world aspect of television. Indeed, it has been said that the television is the modern fireplace – the point around which the family will gather. Ornate cabinets of rich, polished wood will not be out of place in a Victorian-styled living room, and can even include the ubiquitous china shepherdess and her flock.
