A guide to choosing the perfect TV stand

The golden rules for choosing a TV cabinet: proportions, height and cable management

Tape measure in hand and a good dose of practicality: the hunt for the perfect TV cabinet begins right here. A few tips:

• The width of the top: The underlying support surface should be wider than the TV by at least ten to fifteen centimeters on each side;
• The correct height: The center of the screen should sit exactly at eye level when you are seated.
• A closed wall unit: Between video game consoles, soundbars and routers, the back of a TV stand can easily turn into a jungle of wires. Choosing solutions equipped with integrated wiring holes and spacious closed compartments allows you to hide everything that disrupts the view, leaving room only for decorative objects, such as art books or that houseplant you love so much.

Examples of TV stands by Scavolini

Have you ever considered a TV wall unit? Being modular, it allows you to design a custom-sized equipped wall that integrates the television perfectly. You can alternate open-fronted elements with closed doors, positioning the screen in the center, hiding tech devices in the lower extra deep drawers and using the open compartments to showcase your vinyl collection or favorite novels. The continuity of finishes creates a harmonious setting, perfect for open-plan spaces where the living room flows directly into the kitchen.

 

If you want to reduce visual impact to a minimum, living room collections like Formalia represent an excellent choice: here, the television discreetly disappears behind a sliding door, becoming an integral part of the furniture.

Discreet technology in the bedroom

The presence of screens is not limited to the main lounge. Indeed, TVs are increasingly finding a place in the bedroom, catering to moments of relaxation after work. In this context, Scavolini’s concealed solutions for the sleeping area allow for the inclusion of wall-mounted TV modules or units integrated directly into the panels. The clean-cut lines and hidden elements ensure the room stays tidy and the atmosphere remains serene, preventing technology from overtaking comfort.
