An armoire with drawers and doors can give you plenty of space to arrange your DVDs, music collection, game consoles, remote controls, and much more. If you have finally decided to treat yourself to a well-made TV armoire, this buying guide will help you choose the best one.
To make sure you don't end up with an armoire that's too small or too big for your TV, measure your TV beforehand. Then, measure the space where you plan to place the armoire.
Do you want your TV to fit snugly into the armoire without much space around the edges? If so, measure the width of your TV as well. Keep in mind that the size of the TV screen is not the width of the TV.
TV armoires seem like a traditional piece of furniture that come in distressed or antique designs. However, you can definitely find a modern version for your eclectic home décor.
Here are the most common styles of TV armoires available today:
Traditional (wood only)
This includes French provincial, Victorian, Neo Classical, Queen Anne, and Sheraton style armoires that are modeled after historical periods and fashions.
If you love everything old, you'll love the elaborate carvings, detailed moldings, and inset panels that come with these traditional TV armoires. If you want to furnish your room with a piece like this, we suggest a dark wood traditional armoire.
Contemporary (metal, plastic, and wood)
This style is a gorgeous blend of the traditional details, modern starkness, and the laid-back feel of casual design. The focus of this kind of TV armoire is on economy of line and shape.
Contemporary TV armoires can be made with plastic, metals, stone, and exposed woods in lighter finishes. These armoires are usually cheaper than traditional styles.
Casual
If you are looking for something with clean lines and a chic form, a TV armoire with glass or leather accents can be a terrific option. Casual style armoires have that urban look of contemporary and they feature textured elements like softly-curved corners and rectangular insets.
These armoires can be described as "chunky" due to their emphasis on comfort and function, rather than decoration.
Country
Country style TV armoires feature muted colors, comfortable feel, simple lines, and milk-painted woods. Their sub-styles include American country, nostalgic, and cottage.
If you're looking for something unpretentious and casual, you'll love the relaxed detailing and graceful curves of a country style armoire.
TV armoires today come with a plethora of features but it doesn't mean the one with most additional features is the best one. It all depends on your unique needs. But there are a few features we personally recommend for the best TV watching experience:
In addition to these essential features, you can also look for something extra, like wide, deep drawers to store your clothes or other items.
You should also consider what type of doors you want on your armoire. A TV armoire with doors that open to 90-degrees will only open straight out.
On the other hand, an armoire with 270-degree (double-hinged) doors can be folded back on either side of the TV. This will allow you to watch the TV without the doors getting in your way.
