Television is no longer just a household appliance, but also the central element of the living room or bedroom. Therefore, choosing a TV stand is not only an aesthetic, but also an ergonomic and functional decision. A well-chosen piece of furniture not only holds the TV securely, but also provides storage, harmoniously fits into the interior, and even contributes to the style of the apartment. In this guide, we will go through what you should pay attention to when choosing, and introduce some excellent products from our range that can help you find the ideal solution.
1. Choosing the right TV height and viewing distance
For the most comfortable and eye-friendly TV viewing experience, it is important that the center of the television screen is at eye level. This is especially relevant in a seated position, where the viewer is typically positioned on a sofa or armchair. In this case, the ideal screen height is between approximately 95 and 115 cm, depending on the height of the furniture and the height of the viewer.
The optimal viewing distance from the TV is also worth considering: the ideal distance increases in proportion to the screen size. The larger the screen diagonal, the further away you should watch from to be able to absorb the entire image without straining your eyes or having to constantly scan. This setting not only enhances the visual experience, but also protects your eye health in the long run.
| TV size | Ideal viewing distance | Recommended center height |
|---|---|---|
| 32" | 1.2 – 2m | approx. 90–100 cm |
| 43" | 1.5 – 2.5m | approx. 100–110 cm |
| 55" | 2 – 3 m | approx. 110–115 cm |
| 65" | 2.5 – 3.5 m | approx. 115–120 cm |
2. Traditional TV cabinets – when storage is important
Classic TV cabinets are a great choice if you are not only looking to house your TV, but also want to find a practical and stylish place to store your accessories. Whether it's a media player, game console, speakers, books or decorative items, these cabinets offer plenty of space for organized and aesthetic storage. They also help hide cables and electronics, making your living room or bedroom look neat and tidy. They also come in a variety of styles, so you can easily find the one that best suits your home decor.

3. Alternative solutions: console tables, dressers and wall-mounted TVs
Not everyone likes to have a television on a large, robust piece of furniture, especially in apartments where space utilization and a clean interior design are primary considerations. Lovers of minimalist style often choose airier, lighter solutions that do not overwhelm the rest of the room. In such cases, a wall-mounted television can be a great alternative, as it does not take up floor space and also creates a more airy visual effect. Narrower, elegant furniture, such as console tables , chests of drawers or smaller storage cabinets , can also be placed under a wall-mounted TV, which are not only practical but also aesthetically fit the style of modern homes. These solutions are especially advantageous in smaller living rooms or studio apartments, where every square meter counts, but coziness and functionality are still of paramount importance.

4. Small spaces, bedrooms – practical alternatives
Space is often limited in bedrooms or smaller apartments, so a classic, larger TV cabinet is not always possible. In such cases, it is worth choosing multifunctional furniture that can perform several tasks at once. These pieces are not only suitable for stable placement of the television, but also provide useful storage space for frequently used everyday items, such as books, blankets or other small items. Such compact solutions are especially useful where functionality and space saving are primary considerations, and where every square centimeter of furniture counts.

5. Summary – How to choose?
