Arranging the TV corner: what to think about?
Whether your TV corner is installed in the living room or in the bedroom, it is essential to place your TV correctly. There are two main points you need to consider:
- The distance to the sofa – proportional to that of the screen: you must not be too far or too close;
- Window layout – in order to avoid annoying reflections, avoid installing the TV opposite.
Are you moving in? Check where the necessary sockets are located for the operation of your TV corner, and take this into account to organize the right layout for the living room from the start.
Mistakes to avoid when arranging the TV corner
When fitting out the TV corner, it can happen to give in to ease, taking inspiration from a classic arrangement: the TV and its furniture enthroned in majesty facing the sofa. The most obvious solution is then, very often, to choose the widest section of wall, and to install XXL furniture there. However, this is not the only option… and it is not even always the best!
In this small living room, we use a section of wall that could have been lost. Instead, the relatively low positioning of the TV serves the Berber-inspired decor perfectly. Thick rugs and ottomans and cushions: it is good to chill in this cocooning and very trendy TV corner.
The development of a studio or a small apartment offers great possibilities in terms of decoration. While all styles are allowed, it is important to take care of the size of the furniture. To avoid overloading your interior, prefer small furniture for your TV area. Depending on the configuration of the living room, a corner model will prove to be the smartest.
On a wall with XXL dimensions, on the other hand, it is possible to dare a more massive furniture. Even if you fall for the sleek contemporary decor, leaving the screen isolated on the wall is not necessarily a good idea. In this contemporary living room, we play with elements to “reframe” the television.
The TV corner is by definition a real eye-catcher. The furniture must be functional: it is therefore easier to opt for an authentic TV cabinet than for a diverted room, such as a row. But be careful not to neglect the aesthetic aspect. Whether your living room is of industrial, Japandi, bohemian, contemporary or country chic inspiration, the TV corner must fit perfectly into the decor.
To integrate the TV corner more harmoniously into the living room, if possible avoid untimely acquisitions and hazardous combinations of furniture. Shelves, spaces for your equipment: take stock of your needs and think about the space as a whole.
TV corners to inspire you
Sport, movies or series: a large screen is particularly appreciable! However, this equipment can be a bit cold. If you don’t play with furniture and decorative objects, replace the eternal white wall with a warmer covering. Waxed concrete is ideal for reconciling a sharp look and a cozy atmosphere.
Untreated wood full of authenticity and trendy charcoal gray: in this contemporary living room, the TV area sets the tone, and it really has everything!
Concrete effect, natural stone or wood imitation, the wall panel is not only stunning: it is also a smart way to hide cables.
Furniture with strict lines and wall decoration in the shape of a circle: this TV corner plays the contrast card to create a harmonious composition.
One of the major trends in the contemporary living room: combining a flat screen and a fireplace. We then opt for the gas insert or the ethanol fireplace, which allows you to enjoy a long fireplace with homogeneous flames. This type of installation allows you to enjoy a perfectly balanced composition when the fire is on.
This TV corner combines functional storage and 100% decorative elements. The good idea: suspended elements, which make the furniture much more airy!
Can we always dare the tandem of symmetrical bookcases in the TV corner? Yes, when the subject is well mastered! This type of organization works well in a room with large volumes. We will still avoid solid facades, which would weigh down the decor. And, above all, we take care of the details: here, a simple green plant is enough to break the rigor of the whole.
In this small apartment, we make full use of the wall space for storage from floor to ceiling. Cleverly integrated into a niche, the television is discreet.
In this contemporary interior, the TV corner takes center stage: all you need is a shelf with an original design for it to stand out as the highlight of the living room.
Meet your needs in terms of organization, while adapting to the available space and respecting your decorative desires: sometimes, fitting out the TV area is a real challenge! For an authentic tailor-made layout without breaking the bank, opt for a modular solution.
