As well as serving as a practical solution for the living room, a wooden TV stand will also act as a primary focal point for the room.
Their presence and poise of a wooden TV cabinet make them look like a significant item of furniture, and the wood tones will provide an accent or contrast to most popular design themes.
Typical choices in the UK will normally see living room wall colours be of lighter shades to make the room feel brighter and airier, with the wood tones of the furniture then breaking up the otherwise flat look of the wall by injecting some natural looking tones. In the process they bring a natural sense of warmth and texture.
Here at Price Crash Furniture we have hundreds of TV Stands and TV Cabinets for you to chose from with many different colours and shades of wood finish on offer. Let’s take a look at some of the different options and ideas
Popular styles of wooden TV stands
Mid Century / Modern – Typically these will feature warmer wood tones such as walnut, teak and mahogany. The design of these will usually feature more traditional clean rectangular shapes and outlines
Fluted & Textured – This is the current emerging trend in design for living room furniture and wooden TV stands. The design of these Wooden TV Cabinets features vertical wood slats or ribbed details on the doors to add a greater sense of depth to the unit, create a more interesting profile.
Scandinavian (or Scandi) inspired designs – Scandi inspired designs have been popular throughout the 15 years that we have been retailing furniture and in our opinion for good reason. They follow a pattern of minimalist style design using light woods such as Sonoma oak, as or pine along with simple handle free designs to create a non-intrusive and non-imposing sense of light and class.
Rustic and farmhouse – The very nature of these country style designs lend themselves well to being produced as wooden TV Stands. The country cottage or rustic style of design features heavily the quality of wood and is designed to showcase it’s features such as visible grain. Rustic wooden TV Stands will also typically feature chunky looking panels to help bring out the traditional styling of the wood
Popular finishes of Wooden TV Cabinets
Oak – an ever present in terms of popularity, oak tv stands can be purchased in a number of different shades to suit your taste and requirements and features prominent grain patterns that help it bring a touch of style and class to your room
Walnut – not as popular as it was 10 years ago, but still a good choice, it helps bring rich dark chocolate tones to your furniture and has a smooth, elegant grain
Pine – Pine TV Stands are a lighter weight due to the nature of the pine and feature a slight warm yellow hue to the wood in it’s natural form as well as natural occurring knots in the wood that mean no two items are exactly identical and help add to a sense of country style charm. The Corona range of pine furniture is an excellent example of this wood.
Solid wood veneer – this is a popular choice as you get the real wood finish but is more resistant to warping over time as it features a thin layer of real wood over a high density MDF core that brings added strength to your new TV cabinet without dramatically increasing the cost of it.
As we always say when writing buying advice for TV Stands and TV Cabinets it is important to make sure whatever item of furniture you end up choosing is wider than your actual TV. This is important both in terms of looks once the TV is placed on it – as any overhang does not look good in our experience. Also, it reduces the risk of the television being accidentally knocked and damaged when you or your pets are passing.
