Narrow TV stand for small rooms

TV is considered a must-have technique in any living room, and most often it is installed on a suitable stand, which ensures the comfort of watching it. These cabinets are available in a huge number of types, differing in size, shape, color and style of execution. If the room is small, then a narrow TV stand is selected, which does not take up much space and has high functionality.

Features

A narrow TV cabinet is considered to be popular furniture for different rooms, which may have small dimensions and specific shapes. With a competent choice of this design, you can fit it into different interior styles, so a product for a classic or Provence style is easily selected.

The difference between a narrow product and other options is a small depth. Its height can be different, and the choice is based on the convenience of using the TV for its intended purpose. The small width of the cabinet leads to a decrease in its stability, so you should make sure that the structure will withstand the weight of the TV, which is planned to be installed on it.

To increase the resistance of such a cabinet, it is often attached with special fasteners to the wall.

Advantages and disadvantages

Narrow TV cabinets have both positive parameters and negative characteristics. The advantages include:

due to its considerable height, it is possible to install the TV in such a way that it is at the level of the head of people sitting on the couch or armchairs, therefore, there is no discomfort while watching movies;
the design is ideal for narrow and small rooms, as it does not take up much space;
many modern models are equipped with various additional drawers or stands, significantly increasing their functionality and ease of use;
manufacturers produce such bedside tables in numerous colors, and they can also be created from a variety of materials, which allows for each room to choose the best option that fits perfectly into a particular style.

The disadvantages of narrow pedestals are that they are not too stable. When choosing television designs designed to install complex and heavy equipment, people should take into account that they are obliged to cope with the loads from the equipment, otherwise it is likely that an expensive device will simply fall and break. Also, many users attribute the disadvantages to the fact that in addition to the TV, it will be difficult to install various wide objects on such a pedestal.

Kinds

These designs differ from each other in various parameters. In accordance with the depth, stands are distinguished:

with a depth of 30 cm - such dimensions are considered extreme, and usually the thickness of modern TVs is much less than this value. Some manufacturers offer designs with a thickness of 35 cm, which are considered more stable and reliable among all types of narrow pedestals. A depth of 30 cm is also considered optimal for installing various types of equipment. Such furniture can additionally be equipped with different elements for storage, so it can contain small appliances or other items. However, different large types of equipment will not fit here. Also, such dimensions of the curbstone will be unsuitable for modern TV models with a curved and unusual shape, so you will have to focus on the purchase of standard curbstones;
with a depth of 20 cm to 25 - such designs are represented by a robust frame equipped with a reliable, but extremely narrow tabletop. They can be supplemented by different shelves, however, it is almost impossible to place different types of equipment or even small items on them comfortably. It is possible to use such a product exclusively if there is a small and light TV, since the equipment that is significant in size and weight cannot be stably placed on such a pedestal. Even if you can install the TV on such a stand, it will be almost impossible to arrange various additional equipment for comfortable viewing.

If you choose an element whose depth does not exceed 25 cm, then it is advisable to purchase it to order to be sure that the materials used are high-quality and reliable, otherwise the product will not withstand significant weight from the TV.

Construction placement methods

Narrow cabinets are small, so they can be installed even in narrow, small and shape-specific rooms. There are several options for the location of such structures:

in the center of the room - this option is used if there is a sufficiently wide room, therefore it is planned to install a television in the center, and the other part of the room will be used for other purposes. This method is rarely used due to the creation of a certain obstacle for free movement around the room;
along one wall of the room - this method is considered the most popular of all location options. He assumes that the long side cabinet is flush against one wall of the room. This method allows you to attach the cabinet to the wall of the room to increase its stability, as well as the TV and furniture in no way create obstacles to movement around the room. For narrow or small rooms, this option is considered the most preferable;
in the corner of the room - this arrangement of the cabinet is suitable even if it is not angular. To do this, it can stand upright or be installed in such a way that the angle completely overlaps. The space is engaged in the construction, which is usually not used for any purpose. It saves a lot of free space, and also provides the convenience of watching TV.

In the process of choosing the place where the TV stand will be installed, the size of the room, its shape and the presence of other interior items are certainly taken into account.
