Positioned alongside your TV – one of the most modern items in the household – a solid wooden TV cabinet gives you the opportunity to balance brand new items with some more traditional furniture. While you may instantly think of natural brown wooden TV cabinets, there are many styles and types of wood to consider. Finding your perfect TV cabinet doesn't have to be difficult. Here are some of the factors which you should take into consideration before you start looking for a TV cabinet.
You should first think about the size of the room. Some TV cabinets will extend all the way along a 12-foot wall, while others are smaller and have just enough space to accommodate a 40 inch TV. Take measurements of the room and decide at which point your ideal cabinet would extend to.
You will also need to think about the size of your TV (if you already have one). Those who don't have a TV yet or plan to buy a new one have more flexibility to determine the size of both the new TV and the cabinet. The cabinet should always be at least 4-6 inches larger than the size of your TV screen.
Just like you'll find many different sizes of TV cabinets, you'll also come across various colors. Here are some of the main ones and why they might fit well in your home.
- Natural wood: Ideal for those who are looking for a natural and simple look. It can be classy and sleek while also looking natural and contrasting against your modern TV. This has a light brown effect and very little finish.
- Dark brown: If the lighter and more natural looking wood isn't your style, dark brown might be an option for you to consider. People who are looking for a TV cabinet to blend in a little more with dark furniture appreciate this wood color.
- Black: Black wood may come with a matte or glossy effect. The glossy black wood effect will appear more striking and elegant in your living room, although a matte effect will match your black TV well.
Before buying a solid wood TV cabinet, think about whether you would like storage. The vast majority of TV cabinets have storage drawers and/or shelves, but some people actually prefer not to have storage since it can make things look cluttered. The options of glass drawers and opaque drawers and cupboards allow you to avoid this problem. The larger the TV cabinet, the more storage options you will have, and some are available with a bookcase or other similar furniture to attach to one side.
