Choosing the Right TV Stand: Our Guide
When trying to find the perfect TV stand, there are numerous factors to consider aside from aesthetics. Don’t worry, we’ve compiled a guide to help you choose the right TV stand for you!
How do I determine what size I need?
It’s important to remember that it isn’t about the space your working with, but the size of the TV itself and the height you’d like it to sit at. It is also recommended that the distance between your TV and sofa area should be approximately double the size of your screen. With this in mind, we’ve created a guide to help you choose the right TV stand.
How do I know what shape is the best for my room?
Smaller spaces naturally call for smaller, narrower furniture pieces as a chunky TV stand can make a room feel smaller and more cluttered. It’s all about complementing the area your working with. With a smaller space, storage is your best friend.

How big should my TV stand be?
One of the top causes of an improper TV stand purchase is the dimensions. The size of your TV on the box doesn’t include the frame around the TV and only accounts for the screen itself. This means that buying a stand based on this number will mean the stand is too tight. Get ahead of the game and save yourself the heartache and measure the width of your TV from one side of the frame to the other.
In line with this, it is important to reserve enough floor space to accommodate a TV stand that doesn’t allow for any overhang and has a strong enough base to allow your TV to balance. Experts recommend you should add 20% onto the width of your TV when choosing your TV stand to prevent any of the above. A sturdy oak cabinet is your best bet!
Top tip: measure diagonally from one side of the frame to the other for accurate results, every time.
