TV cabinets can provide you with a practical and attractive way to store and display your home entertainment system.  This will help to keep all your equipment and accessories tidy so that they do not intrude into the room.
If you choose the wrong TV cabinets you could upset the balance of your room.  This could make your living spaces feel awkward and uncomfortable.  To help you make sure you choose the best TV cabinets for your home here are a few useful tips.

    1. Measure Before You Shop

These days it is common for homes to have large flat screen televisions.  Although these are much lighter in weight than older style televisions they can take up a lot of room.  You will need to consider the size of your TV cabinets very carefully.  It is important that you can place your television securely on top of the cabinet.  If your television is too wide for the cabinet it could topple over more easily.

Before you go shopping for TV cabinets make sure you measure the space you have available and also the television carefully.  This will help you choose cabinets that are the right size.

    1. Think about the Room Décor

Each home has its own style.  There are many different designs of TV cabinets available.  This means you should be able to get the right cabinet to suit your room.  If you have a traditional style home or a period design then you should consider wooden TV cabinets. Real wood cabinets can offer quality and elegance that will complement your home.  If you have a very modern home then there are a wide range of contemporary options available including glass, plastic and stainless steel designs.

  1. Take the Time to Shop Around

You may not be able to find the best TV cabinets for your budget and requirements in your local television stores.  Try looking online as well as there are many websites available offering a great range of TV cabinets.  Shopping around also gives you the chance to compare prices.  You may see a cabinet you like in store that you can actually get much cheaper online.

In many homes today the television and its associated equipment are usually displayed in the most prominent place in the room and as such it is important that your TV Stand is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing. There are a number of modern TV Stands available that look great in any contemporary home as well as more traditional designs if thats the way your rooms are furnished.

Brand Name Designs
Most of the big name television manufacturers also make TV stands so you can find a wide range of different brand name options such as Phillips, Sony, Panasonic and LG. Brand name TV stands do offer good quality designs and materials but they will be at the top of most people’s budget. You can also get some very good TV stands made by other manufacturers such as Alphason TV Stands or BDI and these offer a wide range of choices at affordable prices.

Materials
Modern TV stands are typically made from glass, plastic, wood and metal. These materials offer good value for money and are available in a wide range of different designs. Glass TV stands are very popular for modern homes as they provide a cost effective and durable option. These TV stands are made from toughened safety glass and can support the weight of your television equipment with ease. Plastic and metal TV stands are also popular in the home and provide long lasting options in a range of different styles. If you have a more traditional home design then wood TV stands can be a good option and you can choose from a number of different finishes.

Stand Designs
Modern TV stands come if a range of designs from TV cabinets through to table top stands. You will need to think about the space you have available and how you would like to display your TV equipment when you are choosing a stand. If you have the latest cutting edge flat screen television then you can compliment this with a contemporary TV stand such as one made from black glass. If you would prefer to keep your television equipment neatly hidden away then a wood TV cabinet can be a good idea as you will be able to shut the doors on all the devices and cables when not in use. For those rooms that have very little floor space then a wall mounted TV stand can be a practical way to display a large flat screen monitor.

Welcome to the new look TV Stands UK Blog

Hello everyone and welcome to the new look TV Stands UK blog, but don’t worry its only the look that has changed and we will continue to bring you interesting news and reviews on our products and any new lines that we will be offering over the coming year. This week we thought we would take another look at wooden TV Stands.



Elegant, sophisticated and traditionally designed, wooden TV stands are functional and attractive, without the high price tag of metal or glass. They are easy to construct at home, which is why many flat packed TV stands are made of wood, and are light weight, yet still strong.



Wooden TV stands come in a variety of styles and sizes, depending on the type you’re using and their size can depend on how they arrive, whether they are flat packed and more. One of the main problems with flat packed products, however, is getting the instructions to match the reality. In some cases, parts could be missing or you could find that the pieces don’t fit exactly as you expect. This is rare, but can happen with lower ends of manufacture for cheap products. These cheap products can create a problem with furniture as they are manufactured poorly or created.



Once you’ve gotten the piece installed and set up, it’s important to make sure that you’re able to fit all of your products onto it – a tidy and cleaned up space with your TV, DVD player and game systems will fit into most corners of the room.



Wood can be made into a variety of styles and designs. As it is easy to create a variety of engravings or personalisation’s, that can create a haven in a natural style. Not only is wood so versatile, but it can be stained or painted to match a variety of styles and finishes. They can be small and wheeled or larger static units, with or without doors, and come with or without matching bookcases or other matching furniture. And that’s one of the main beauties of wood; you can get them in styles to match other pieces of furniture more easily than say, metal cabinets. It may not match exactly but it is easier to blend with other furniture because the small details may not matter as much. As long as the colour is generally the same, wood can ‘go’ with other pieces of wooden furniture.



As with all other TV stands, it’s important to make sure you don’t scrape or scratch the surface of your wood – furniture can be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth and polish. Alternatively a solution of weak vinegar and some drops of aromatherapy mixed well with water can function as an adequate cleaner. Ensure that the solution is very weak or it will damage the polished or varnished surface. But be aware too that wax build up can create a problem with shininess – so stripping it off can sometimes actually help with the lustre and look of your wood.

Five top features in a TV cabinet

There are certain things you should look for in TV cabinets – these cabinets are often found in bedrooms and are designed to hide the TV in a safe place while looking stylish and elegant.



So what should you look for?



It may sound obvious, but you need to be sure that your TV fits the cabinet – there’s no point in buying a TV cabinet that doesn’t cover up your TV or other items stored in it. If you’re buying a TV alongside your cabinet, consider measuring and buying both together – buying the TV to fit the cabinet is a great idea if you find a design you like – it may save you the worry of designing a solution to match your needs if you need to buy a new TV.



The doors you choose should be lightweight and easy to close and have some sort of catch so they can remain closed. The best doors fold into the cabinet instead of just remaining open, because then there’s no chance of accidentally walking to them in the middle of the night.



Glass doors on these display cabinets are often a good idea and given an elegant touch to your room – but it’s important to remember to make the wood of your choice match the wood of your bedroom – mismatched bedroom furniture is often a source of displeasure amongst those that sleep in there, so where possible choosing similar coloured woods and other finishes will help your pieces blend. If you can’t do that, go with light pine, as it matches almost everything and stays ‘in style’ far longer than darker woods.



Make sure there’s plenty of room for cables and a way to tuck your plug out of the way – you may want to take the back off the unit entirely, or there may just be a hole in the back. Or you may need to make one – no matter what type of hole your cabinet needs or already has, remember that you may have to fit more than one plug out of there. Being able to access those plugs is also an advantage that you may need to consider. As more people add wireless switches to their house, you may need a larger gap. All of these needs should be carefully considered when buying your cabinet.



Finally, find something that you actually like. TV cabinets come in a wide range of styles and finishes – and beyond functionality, they should be easy to care for and easy to live with, so your choice should be one that you enjoy.



Whatever your choice of TV cabinet, you’ll find that the best ones blend elegantly and unobtrusively with your own furniture. Choosing a style and design you like will help with that but as so many are designed to blend with other furniture it shouldn’t be a problem.

Models such as the Jual Furnishings JF203-1100 Wooden TV Stand with its gorgeous curves and walnut finish bring the best of both worlds with its high tech design, real wood finish and glass shelves.



There are of course a few things to consider when you are looking to choose a wooden TV Stand, many of them are of a TV cabinet design and as such will have closed features such as solid wood or wood with glass doors. In these instances think about what is going to be inside as the components will generate heat, make sure that the wooden TV cabinet is well ventilated and if it has glass doors are they IR friendly.



Have a look at our range of wooden TV stands, I am certain that there will be something to suit your requirements.


Choosing the right TV Cabinet

The benefit of the TV cabinet over the TV stands is that it often looks neater and will fit in with a wide range of domestic styles and tastes in decor. The shiny, modern TV stand can look great in the shop, surrounded by spot lights and acres of gleaming technology, but will often look out of place when it arrives in the comparatively softer environment of the home. Also, what do you do with all those wires? In our wireless age it’s surprising how many miles of cabling it takes to connect the various bits of equipment. The TV cabinet conveniently hides all of the cables and stops them looking unsightly. And then there’s the vast amount of disks that we all accumulate. TV cabinets provide the storage you need to keep everything tidy and accessible all in one smart and practical unit.



Choosing the right setting for your TV is a complicated task. There’s so much choice! Should it be sleek, contemporary and minimalist or should it be a softer piece of furniture that doesn’t look quite so ‘space-age’? Should it be a TV stand that displays all the technology to the full or a TV cabinet that shields all of the hardware from sight? Fortunately, there are options on the market to suite all tastes.



TV cabinets come in a wide range of styles, colours, shapes and sizes and for all they don’t look quite as edgy as the TV stand there are still a number of very modern looking models to choose from. TV cabinets are available in a range of traditional wooden finishes as well as lacquered and high-gloss effects for those wishing to be a little more adventurous. So, depending upon your taste and other furnishings you could get a TV cabinet in a walnut finish that would look sophisticated and timeless or in a more modern white or red high-gloss finish that wouldn’t look out of place in the swish, urban loft environment.



If you were to go for the TV cabinet choice then you’d be looking at a fuller piece of furniture; something with a bit of substance. As oppose to the TV stands, which tends to be rather stark and simply comprise a series of shelves, the TV cabinet is styled more like a cupboard and is likely to be contain internal storage. A typical TV cabinet will consist of shelving for accessories such as DVD player and satellite box which may be enclosed as well as drawers for the storage of discs and other items. The TV itself would be placed on top of the cabinet. Many cabinets are on castors for convenience and easy of movement.



The choice is yours. So whatever your needs, the perfect TV cabinet is waiting for you.
