What types of TV stands are available in white?

Advantages and disadvantages

As practice shows, white TV stands are quite popular in the domestic market. Even the fact that this is a rather distinctive color scheme does not stop a huge number of buyers from purchasing similar interior items for country houses and city apartments. How can we explain such a high interest among people in white TV stands? These are unique products that can charm even a spoiled beauty connoisseur. They have high performance parameters and amazing aesthetics. The following describes the advantages that the white gloss cabinet boasts:

• Let's start with the fact that wooden products and models made from materials created on the basis of natural wood processing products are highly environmentally friendly, natural beauty, and a variety of textures;
• Let us note the subtle style, conciseness, and non-flashy luxury of white as the main color of TV furniture. Thanks to these qualities, the milky TV stand can fit into any residential interior in color and style. The snow-white color combines well with almost all other shades in the decoration of walls, floors, and ceilings. The only exception is white walls, which are not suitable as a background for snow-white furniture. Otherwise, you can create not a residential interior of a living room or bedroom, but a hospital ward;
• affordable price is no less important for many buyers. If the TV stand is painted in a bleached oak shade, it looks very dignified and attractive, but it can cost quite a bit of money. A young family with an average income will be able to afford such a purchase;
• the widespread use of design and the presence of additional elements that can increase the level of functionality of the TV stand are also quite important. After all, every person strives to surround himself with beautiful and at the same time functional pieces of furniture. This significantly increases the level of comfort of life.

Apart from being soiled, white TV stands have virtually no drawbacks. The only exception may be that wooden products are somewhat bulky compared to plastic or glass models.

Color Features

If you have decided to choose a white TV stand for your living room or bedroom, then you should ask in advance what characteristics are inherent in this color scheme. White color as the main color of furniture looks very laconic, not boring, and stylish. It can also be one of the colors in an interesting color combination. For example, white with black, white with warm beige, white with red and black. There are many options, and all of them will be distinguished by their harmony and beauty.

It is especially good to select snow-white furniture for those interiors whose decoration is particularly complex.

For example, you liked bright wallpaper with complex geometric patterns. Use them as an accent in the bedroom, and a glossy white TV stand will help to add calmer colors to the interior and balance the interior.

Let us note one more undeniable advantage of snow-white furniture. She is timeless and fashionable. The demand for bright and rich colors increases or decreases depending on fashion trends in the world of interior design. White shades will always be in trend and will never go out of style. They are able to emphasize the beauty of other colors, make them calmer, and divide the colorful chaos into separate zones.

And in conclusion, we note that bleached oak cabinets are very interesting in terms of the use of decorative elements. They are decorated with doors with stained glass, rhinestones, metal and ceramic fittings, carvings, monograms, and various types of photo printing. The variations are endless. All of these decorating techniques apply to white TV stands.

Among other modern types of structures:

1. Hanging option. Such cabinets are mounted on the wall. They serve as a convenient storage system and are used, as a rule, in interiors decorated in accordance with modern trends. Most of the models are represented by dimensional products with spacious open and (or) closed shelves. The TV does not have to be placed above them; it can be placed directly on the top surface of the furniture. To hold the bedside table tightly, use metal canopies. This mounting system will support the total weight of the product, its contents and the TV.
2. Corner designs. Allows you to effectively use the space in the corner of the room. Standard furniture is small in size and may include a central compartment (one or more shelves, drawers), side open or closed niches. Models include floor-mounted and wall-mounted structures for TV. Minimalist versions include 1-2 shelves. Chests of drawers are more spacious storage systems.
3. Plasma stands. They are convenient TV stands. Moreover, there is no need to drill walls to install brackets for equipment. The furniture is equipped with a cable channel that hides the wires and shelves for audio and video equipment. An important feature of such stands is the presence of movable brackets for mounting the plasma panel at a sufficiently high distance from the floor. Thanks to this solution, it will be convenient to watch TV programs from anywhere in the room.
4. Electric fireplaces for TVs. This eye-catching stand will brighten up any room. If desired, you can enable or disable the heating function: many devices are designed to operate in different modes. Models are available with open shelves for media equipment and lockable side niches. To ensure that electric fireplaces can withstand significant loads, even large TVs, the frame and the countertop are reinforced. In terms of design, these devices are made in different styles: classic, minimalist, functionalism.

Classic chest of drawers also remain relevant, expanding their functionality by allowing you to place a TV on top and all sorts of personal items inside. Consoles are no less in demand - narrow cabinets with 2-4 curly or straight legs. They can be supplemented with one shelf the length of the entire cabinet or several shelves and drawers.

Posting rules

To make watching programs comfortable, it is necessary to determine the correct distance between the TV stand and the seating areas. The optimal distance depends on the diagonal size and screen resolution. The top third of the display should be at eye level. The recommended distance from the floor to the center of the screen is approximately 1.2 m.

The cabinet should be positioned so that when the curtains are open, it is possible to prevent sunlight from entering the screen, otherwise they will significantly interfere with viewing.

The TV in the living room is an important element of the relaxation corner, in relation to which armchairs, sofas, and coffee tables are located. In a spacious room, the main places for a TV stand are the wall next to the windows, a corner or the space between the windows. Advantages of the latter option: the possibility of sunlight hitting the screen is eliminated. In living rooms, interior options are common where TV stands are placed next to the fireplace - against the wall in line with it, in the corner or on top.

As a rule, choosing a suitable place in the kitchen for a TV is not an easy task. It should be kept away from fire, high temperature, moisture, steam, microwave. Taking these nuances into account and in order to save space, televisions are often placed above the work surface (tabletop) or built into a set. If the area of ​​the room allows, the display is placed on a cabinet against a free wall in front of the dining table or kitchen corner - a convenient and safe option. If there is not much free space, you can use a corner cabinet.

If there is little free space in the room, you can use a narrow wall-mounted cabinet and hang the display above it, or pay attention to the corner option. If the room is spacious, you can choose equipment with a large diagonal. The traditional location for a plasma cabinet is the wall opposite the end or side of the bed.

Manufacturing materials

The abundance of materials used by factories to make white TV stands is not so great. And although designers are trying to use new technologies and materials to diversify the appearance of such furniture, buyers still prefer classic options that have been tested by time.

Wooden

Plastic

Glass

Chipboard
Below, each of the listed materials is described in more detail:

• solid wood is used to create elite products with high cost. These are luxurious models of TV stands that will surprise even avid critics with their level of respectability. Such furniture is perfect for classic interiors, country style rooms, Provence;
• veneer is the thinnest cut of natural wood, which is glued onto an array of more affordable wood, MDF. The external aesthetics of veneer are very similar to natural wood: the designs are attractive. Wear-resistant, stylish, durable;
• MDF is often used to create TV stands because it is affordable, wear-resistant, and attractive. The material can be veneered, laminated, or acrylic coated. MDF is less resistant to negative factors than wood, but has a long service life;
• Chipboard has a low cost, so it is widely used for making TV stands. The performance parameters of this material are at an average level; with regular care, this stand will last at least 5 years. Chipboard is most relevant in the case when a family often changes its environment and does not like constancy in the interior. If you plan to buy a stand for as long as possible, you should avoid purchasing the chipboard version;
• glass is often used to make original TV stands. These are ultra-modern interior items that are quite expensive, produced in limited quantities, and can bring new emotions and bright colors to an ordinary apartment in a city high-rise building. Let's dispel the myth that glass TV stands are unsafe. For their production, exclusively high-strength glass is used, which is almost impossible to break with an average blow;
• plastic is also quite actively used by manufacturers to create TV stands, however, it does not have very high performance parameters and is of average beauty in appearance.

In addition to the material used to make the frame and TV stand facades, it is important to pay attention to the material used to make the fittings for the product.

Low-quality fasteners, screws, handles can darken the impression of the entire structure. Therefore, you should not save on these seemingly insignificant elements. They are extremely important, because furniture should be beautiful and functional, and low-quality fittings will break very quickly. Repair work will cost a lot, so you won’t be able to save money anyway.

Materials

Modern TV stands are made from a variety of materials: glass, wood, veneer, metal, chipboard and others. In accordance with this, their prices are also varied. Products made from MDF and glass are considered the most budget-friendly. But solid wood is much more expensive, and therefore is used quite rarely. This material is used to produce mainly piece goods, decorating them with carvings.

When choosing a material, in addition to price, health safety is also important. The most environmentally friendly material is wood. It is hypoallergenic and does not emit harmful substances.

Safe furniture is considered to be products made from MDF coated with melamine and veneer. The latter consists of strips of valuable wood (walnut, oak, cherry, wenge) no more than 1 mm thick. It has a beautiful texture and also prevents the evaporation of harmful impurities from chipboard and MDF.

Rules of care

As practice shows, regular care of furniture, regardless of what material it was made from, significantly extends its service life. That is why designers and manufacturers of TV stands insist on certain rules that must be followed when using such furniture:

• Avoid prolonged contact with water on the surface of the TV stand if it is made of natural wood, plywood, chipboard, or MDF. It is prohibited to wipe such surfaces with excessively wet textiles, otherwise the edges of the facades may swell and bend;
• Do not allow the white MDF cabinet to come into direct contact with the sun's rays. They overheat surfaces, and glossy films on MDF may warp;
• To clean the surface of TV stands from dust and dirt, you should use professional products. This will improve the appearance of the furniture and prevent its color from fading or streaks appearing on the white surface. The selection of a product for the care of white TV stands should be based on the material from which they are made. Aggressive compounds are not acceptable, as they can damage the material and the bedside table itself.
