Since flat screen TVs have become more commonplace, mounting them to a wall, versus using a TV stand, is the most popular way to display them. In order to keep your components close, we recommend a floating shelf. Eye catching and elegant, using a floating shelf for tv components opens up the space below the TV for other things, or nothing, making the space easy to clean.

What are the benefits of floating shelves for TV components?
A floating shelf for TV components can be a good way to hide those ugly cable tangles, to support gaming equipment and movie players, and even enhance your room’s general appearance. These handy shelves, which fasten directly to wall studs, provide a low-footprint, off-the-floor solution for VCR/DVD players, cable consoles or even game consoles. Some models provide shelving for your library of videos, DVDs or games. Floating cabinets can be provided with child or pet proof locks to prevent the classic, “Can I feed my peanut butter sandwich to the VCR?” syndrome.
What are the best designs of floating shelves for TV components?
Peerless Paramount A/V Component Shelf
Perhaps the sparest is the Peerless Paramount A/V component shelf. It fastens across two wall studs and is comprised of two adjustable metal arms that can support a console or a wire rack. This is the kind of floating shelf that would go great in your family nerd den – the one with posters of Marvel superheroes, ergonomic chairs, and an adjustable laptop desk.
Tempered Glass Shelf
This floating shelf is equally at home holding various television controllers or supporting a delicate floral arrangement in your Victorian living room. Sturdy, yet unobtrusive, most tempered glass floating shelves rest on two metal supports. The supports need to be installed over two wall studs.
36” Wood Shelf
A thirty-six-inch wood shelf with supports for cables and similar dangling items helps lend a sleek organized look for that messy area under the wall-mounted flat screen TV or computer console. When mounted in a convenient location, it also makes a good receptacle for those small bits that always get lost between car and house – keys, wallet, ID cards and other similar items. A small tray on the floating shelf can keep these things organized and conveniently within reach.
How to pick the color for floating TV shelves?
Floating shelves for TV components can blend in with the wall by being painted in the same color, or they can contrast sharply by making use of a dark wood or even being painted in bright primary colors – a nice choice for a child’s room. Use several floating shelves to make an arrangement around the big screen TV, which has been compared to a fireplace as a place where the family can gather, or a solitary human can enjoy some quiet time.
