What is the height of my TV cabinet?
Before we start manufacturing your furniture, we think it is important to give you some information about the height at which you will place your television.
Please note that the optimal TV placement is as follows: the top third of the screen should be at eye level. So if your TV is 90 cm high, the first 30 centimeters (starting from the top of your TV) should be at eye level.
But don't worry, this measurement may vary depending on your size. Also, the topic “Giving Your Home a New Look” may give you different inspirations!
Finally, we believe that large flat screens excite you and give the impression of being in the cinema. However, please note that they do not suit every interior.
Tips for decorating the TV cabinet
Yes, on average, it is recommended to leave a distance between the TV and the sofa of almost 3 (Full HD) to 4 (HD) times the diagonal of the TV.
Therefore, if your TV is between 60 and 80 cm, you will need to keep a distance of approximately 2 to 3 meters. For larger screens, sometimes more than 4 meters may be necessary.
These are the distances and heights that you need to remember when you are about to invest in a TV. Also, measuring the space will give you more insight into the dimensions you will choose for your TV cabinet.

If your TV is too big, camouflage it
If your television is very large, you can hide it by placing a black television cabinet under or around it and painting the wall the same color.
If you play with blacks, you will create a depth effect and add a stylish touch to your modern living room. When the TV is on, it will easily stand out and attract more attention, but when it is turned off, it will not be noticeable.
Colorful television area decoration
Decorating a colorful television area is not difficult at all; you can use a special colored wall, as in this light lilac example, and keeping the furniture in neutral or light tones will integrate harmoniously with this choice.
TV area with minimalist decoration
As you can see here, the minimalist decorated television area consists of very light wooden furniture and very simple decorative elements, and the color of the walls is in neutral tones such as light gray.
Another tip for achieving this type of decoration is to hide the cables behind the TV to maintain the clean and simple atmosphere of this decoration.
Organize the TV area with dark wood
To arrange the television area with dark wood, you can give up a little on the decoration or tone of the walls, as such furniture stands out in any tone, and also use more decorative elements, due to the dark color of the wood does not tire the eyes so much.
Depending on your taste, you can choose a piece of furniture with lighter colored details such as feet or handles, the choice is yours.
Modern decoration for the television area
Modern decoration for the television area uses many art elements such as illustrated paintings, natural plants and mirrors, all in very simple frames or containers, usually in single-tone, neutral colors.
Like minimalist decoration, this style works best with neutral colors on the walls, but if you decide to use a brighter color, it won't overshadow the style of your decoration.
How can I decorate the TV unit with stones?
To learn how to decorate the television area with stone, you can take inspiration from the skaglia type stone in dark tones with a minimalist decoration such as a smooth television table in light tones, which will stand out nicely with the stone facade you use behind it.
If you want to give it a more special touch, you can place lighting around the stone facade.
