Hello guys and welcome back to DecorPuzzle. I hope you're doing well and today's video is gonna be about TV units. So let's get right into the video. Where you might spend a big buck find the perfect coffee table or sofa. Certain pieces of furniture get overlooked when you're decorating a space. One being the TV unit. It's pretty common to just dig up a piece of furniture left lying around the house to prop up your television. But we are big advocates of putting a little more thought into it than that. And instead of regulating your choice of TV stand to the big burner, perhaps it's time to find the perfect piece to suit your space. One that will give your television a place of pride in your living room. Get rid of that ugly bulky or uncoordinated television stand and switch it out for something that complements your design choices. And all in all looks chic. Here are a few tests that will help you find the right TV stand and style it in your space. Consider your needs. The way you use a piece in your space is going to be a major factor that dictates what you eventually end up with. Function is everything so don't overlook it. After all it doesn't matter how beautiful your new TV unit is if you can't use it the way you've intended. Where some of us spend our lives gathered in front of the television socializing others use TVs as a necessity for those moments when something piques their interest or when there's simply nothing else to do. Your TV use is totally up to you but the chances are it will affect the type of unit you opt for. If the television is truly the room centerpiece you would want it to make watching as easy and relaxing as possible with a piece that fits perfectly in your eye line and makes your gorgeous flat screen the hero. If you spend just as much time on the sofa reading chatting or eating rather than watching TV practicality might look a little different. Perhaps you're after extra room on either side for decor or need space to store your coffee table box. There's a design rule that should be taken into account with every new piece you buy. What is your purpose and what will new purchase help you fulfill it? Put practicality first and then go for pretty. We promise it'll work out for the better. Use your TV as a guide with a good idea of your functionality needs in mind. The next thing to consider is your television itself. The way you position and install a huge flat screen TV will differ completely from a smaller screen. Televisions come in all shapes and sizes so you will need to get your head around yours before purchasing a TV unit that, for instance, doesn't have enough clearance at the back or isn't long enough to accommodate your TV's width. Measure all three dimensions of your television height, width, and depth as they all play a role in the size and style of your TV unit selection. Although there are no hard and fast rules here, there are a few things to keep in mind. Front and back clearance. There is no point in purchasing a really slimline entertainment unit if your TV is on the bulkier side. You'll want to ensure there is enough surface space for it to sit comfortably in the center without protruding from either side and affecting how you place it in the room. Alright, for those of us who are big in watching TV, comfort is a priority that doesn't just include how squeezed your sofa is or how many throw pillows are at your disposal but also should take into account the placement of your television. You'll want to be able to watch your favorite show or movie with ease. There is nothing worse than craning your neck or reaching to get comfortable. Ensure that the height of your TV and entertainment unit combined mean that the screen is at a pleasant high level. Width and side clearance. Finally, the width of your TV and relevant TV unit is something to weigh up or rather measure up before you purchase. Overhang is not just unsightly but it can also affect the physical and metaphorical balance of the unit. You'll want to ensure you've got at least 10 or so centimeters either side of your TV unit from the widest point of your TV's screen to help with this look and feel stable and balance it. Each of these considerations are important to truly understand and plan for before purchasing an entertainment unit. With that in mind, what else is there to weigh up? Let's talk about size. Think about size. Once you know how big your television is, it is time to think about the size of the entertainment unit itself. This will depend on a few factors including how much space you have in your room, the clearance available to easily navigate the area surrounding the unit and the general look and feel you're going for. Probably the most common TV to entertainment unit size ratio leaves a small amount of overhang on either side with anywhere between 10 and 30 centimeters of additional space to work with. You will also have at least 10 centimeters front and back to allow for easy use of the television and the unit itself. This gives you lots of room to add in trinkets and decor without the additional surface area feeling overwhelmingly bare. If spare space is more your vibe though or on the other hand if you love to have as much available space as possible with homewares then you can also opt for additional length on either side of your television with a longer unit. This means you'll have the space to place plants, lighting and other larger items to prep you up and style the unit as you see fit. Whichever way you go, think about your room's overall design sensibilities and try your best to embody them through the choices you make. You'll also want to ensure there is enough clearance aka walk-in space on all of the outward facing sides of your entertainment unit. This will mean that everyone can easily navigate the space comfortably sitting down and walking from room to room without having to brave a tight squeeze or tripping over. Aim for at least 50 centimeters between your entertainment unit and the next poppy piece, likely your coffee table. Of course another element of size is shape. While rectangular units are popular and practical they're not the only option. If you have a larger space and aren't too worried about then you could always opt for an oval, square or circular entertainment unit. This can look super chic but just keep in mind that you will likely need a little more space between your tv and your sofa. Work with your style. The starters are with the most enjoyable part of choosing out and selecting a new furniture piece. And the tv unit, while a more totalitarian piece, is absolutely no exception. There are so many styles available now so it is really just about considering the elements already in your space and finding the perfect piece to complement them. As is always our rule of thumb, firstly start by establishing what the style is in your space. There are always big giveaways such as whitewashed furniture as a hallmark of coaster style or clean lines and an achromatic palette for modern contemporary. If your style can't be boxed into word or phrase then try to catalog a few key elements and use them to guide your selection. Are you big into tribal prints or is your style typified by geometric shapes? Whether you live for a western trend or all about simplicity or would you describe your style as wild and rocky, the most important thing here is to nail it down. With that in mind, the selection process should be 10 times easier. You've already ruled out certain options based on size, shape, and function. And chances are you will be able to scratch off many more when you know your style. Here are a few things to consider when you're establishing your style and trying to translate it into an entertainment unit. Color. Certain colors just make sense with a corresponding style. When Hampton style is all about white, Scandio loves light wood and mid-century modern commonly uses darker or medium-toned wood. Material. Most avianas would be made out of wood but there are exceptions and accents also make a huge difference. Reading baskets or cupboard fronts would suit a coaster room, whereas metal legs, and marble stone top are very modern. Weigh up the materials already in your space and try to reflect them in your choice of TV unit. Design elements, accents, drawer and door handles, the texture of the entertainment unit's surface. There are so many ways to introduce and express your style in a new piece. Take notice of the little things that are already in your space, whether that's in other furniture pieces or your homewares, and consider finding a kit that has similar features. Take storage into account. Finally, we're looping back around to functionality with an open storage. This is especially salient for those in smaller homes and apartments, but is it likely most of us will expect to find a TV unit? That's about great storage. Whether you're trying to stash all DVDs or just need some extra room for day-to-day items, an entertainment unit can make an epic storage piece to alleviate some of that living room clutter. There are three types of storage you will typically see in an entertainment unit. Drawers, cabinets, and open shelving. Each of these has their pros and cons, so it's really up to you to define what works best for your style and your use. Drawers are great if you have lots of smaller items that need to be stashed, and if you find yourself regularly accumulating bits and bobs. Meanwhile, cupboards and cabinets are great for those larger items that just don't have a home. You've always got the option of adding baskets or storage containers to organize smaller items in a cabinet-style TV unit. Lastly, open shelving is great for those who love to make every opportunity to show off their decor items and give their space a little do-job. Place your favorite coffee table, box, candles, boxes, and other items to inject the unit with your taste. Although the TV unit might seem like a humble and practical item, that the key purpose is to raise your television up to the eye level, there is a lot more to it, and it's a fantastic opportunity to further hammer home your authentic and design choices. From classic wooden pieces to sleek, attractive back options, scanty favorites, and more, there are lots to choose from, so keep these steps in mind when you begin the process.
