Make no mistake, the TV stand is not a piece of furniture intended solely to support the television it is named after, far from it. It also allows you to store the entire ecosystem that accompanies this audiovisual device (electric cable, game console, internet box, DVD player), as well as documents and objects that have no place in the decoration of your living room. The doors and drawers that make up the TV stand are perfect for hiding them from your guests.

Beyond its utilitarian side, it has also become a piece of designer furniture, capable of complimenting or embellishing the aesthetics of your living room and more broadly of your living room: forget the simple wooden pedestal, the TV stand comes in different shapes, materials and colors to fit into any interior.

The TV stand long: 180 cm - 200 cm

The dimensions of your TV stand must obviously take into account those of your living room, and who says large living room necessarily says XXL furniture for a better harmony in your living room. Therefore, it is recommended to install a long TV stand in large spaces. These can measure 180 cm or 200 cm and, as with the rectangular TV stand, are available in different styles capable of completing your interior decoration.

The wall-mounted or wall-mounted TV stand

The wall-hung TV stand can look like the classic rectangular TV stand, with one distinction: as the name suggests, it is suspended. Hanging on your wall, it almost loses its function as a TV stand, since it does not support your television: it is the most common
