What should you look for when choosing a TV stand?

You will first want to consider the size and weight of your TV to ensure the stand can accommodate it properly. If you have gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, or other media devices, consider a TV stand with shelves, cabinets, or drawers that will provide storage and keep your entertainment area organised. Ensure the stand has sufficient space to accommodate all your devices and accessories. Many of our TV stands include cable management features to help conceal and organise your cables neatly. Built-in cable management options, such as cable holes or wire trays, can prevent unsightly cable clutter and make it easier to connect and disconnect devices.

You’ll also want to choose a TV stand that complements the overall aesthetic of your living space. At Old Creamery we stock a wide range of TV stands in various styles, materials, and finishes so you’re sure to find something that matches your existing furniture and décor. Consider the height and viewing angle of the TV stand. It should be at an appropriate height so that the television is at eye level when you are seated. Coordinate your TV stand with matching living room furniture from the same range, such as coffee tables, side tables, and sideboards.

How much bigger should a TV unit be compared to a TV?

When it comes to choosing the size of a TV stand or unit in relation to your TV, there are a few general guidelines you can follow. The width of the TV stand should be equal to or larger than the width of your TV. This ensures that the TV fits securely on the stand and prevents any overhang or instability. The depth of the TV stand should be greater than the depth of your TV, considering the extra space needed for cables, connectors, and any additional devices you plan to place on the stand, such as gaming consoles or sound systems. The height of the TV stand is subjective and depends on your viewing preferences. Ideally, the TV should be positioned at eye level when you are seated. Consider the average eye level of your seating area and choose a stand that places the TV at or around that height. Think about the overall proportions and aesthetics of the TV stand in relation to the TV and your living space. A TV stand that is particularly small within the room might look disproportionate, while one that is excessively larger may overpower the room. Aim for a balanced and visually appealing arrangement.

How big should your TV be?

The size of the TV you should choose depends on various factors, including viewing distance, room size, and personal preference. The most important factor in determining TV size is the distance between the TV and the seating area. Consider the size of the room where the TV will be placed. A larger room can accommodate a larger TV without overwhelming the space, while a smaller room might require a smaller TV for comfortable viewing. The desired field of view can also influence the TV size. Some people prefer a more immersive experience, while others may prefer a smaller TV that provides a more relaxed viewing experience. Look at the different TV sizes available and consider your personal preferences. Your budget is also an important consideration. Larger TVs tend to be more expensive, so consider your budget limitations when choosing your TV size. It's important to note that these are general guidelines and can vary based on individual preferences. It's highly recommended to visit a showroom or electronics store where you can physically view different TV sizes to determine what feels comfortable and visually appealing to you.

What is the best material for a TV cabinet?

At Old Creamery Furniture we offer TV cabinets in a wide choice of materials. Our oak TV stands are hugely popular thanks to their durability, versatility, and classic appeal. Oak is a hardwood known for its strength and durability and can comfortably withstand the weight of a TV. Due to its density and solid construction, oak TV stands provide reliable support for your TV and other electronic devices and the stability that is crucial for ensuring the safety of your equipment. Oak TV stands also have a natural beauty, with distinct grain pattern and warm tones, adding a classic and timeless appeal that can complement a wide range of interior styles. Lookout for painted TV stands that you can match to your décor and personal style.

When choosing your TV stand, consider coordinating it with matching living room furniture from the same range, such as coffee tables, side tables, and sideboards.
