Entertainment Enlightenment – Style Buying Guide

Posted on November 27th, 2020 by Indian River Furniture.

The average American spends more than 4 hours a day watching television. If you are the type of person to spend a sixth of an entire day looking at your tv, your entertainment space should reflect that. When it comes to designing a living room or entertainment area, selecting the furniture is important for looks and functionality. Before making the trip to Indian River Furniture, Tampa’s best living room furniture store in Florida, think of these key tips on styling your entertainment system. 

Measuring

  1. First things first when deciding on what tv unit to use, you need to get a better understanding of your space. By measuring your wall you can figure out how much room you have to work with, to then be able to consider furniture length and height. After measuring your wall, have someone stand back and estimate where the best spot to position your television in. You don’t want it too high, too low, or off-center with your furniture, so have the visualizer move around the room, sit in furniture, and stand up in different areas to pinpoint the proper spot to fix your tv for optimum movie watching. 
  1. Next, measure your actual television. Knowing the dimensions of your tv will help you decipher what type of unit you’ll need depending on size. Everyone has seen a ginormous tv mounted above a wimpy shelving system, and it just looks wrong. For a rule of thumb, your entertainment system should always be at least the same size as your tv, if not longer. 

Figure out what types of pieces and accessories you store in and around your entertainment area. If you are big cinema heads, maybe movie storage is important to you. If your living room is home to your video games, shelves and drawers may be a must. Deciding what look you are trying to achieve, while still having functionality is key in this process. Below are the three most common pieces of entertainment system furniture you will see:

  • TV Stands
    • If you have a tv that can’t be mounted, want some storage but not too much, and like the look of an open wall allowing for other decorative items, a tv stand is for you! Tv stands are generally long, mid-height tables or cabinets that your television and other entertainment components can rest on, above or in. They tend to not take up too much space and can give a small room length and depth while limiting floor usage. Tv stands vary in size, making them a great option for numerous sizes of televisions and rooms!
  • Media Centers
    • Media centers typically store the tv inside the component. If you want to be able to shut the doors to your cabinet and have your entertainment equipment hidden at times, a media center is a great option for your space. They are versatile in appearance, with some looking similar to an armoire, or others that don’t have the storage option at the top, looking similar to a tv stand. The size of the media center you purchase will depend on the size of your tv, and wall area because they tend to take up more space. 
  • Wall Units
    • It’s time to pull out the big guns from Indian River Furniture. If you realized that shutting away your television and other entertainment products isn’t for you, you want seemingly limitless amounts of shelves and storage and have a large wall area to cover, then a wall unit is for you. This statement piece of furniture from your living room furniture store in Florida will become home to not only your tv, movie collection, video game sets, and any other equipment you keep in this area, but also decorative pieces and accessories. Think, bookshelf meets tv stand, meets gallery wall. Wall units can vary in size, going from large, to larger, to largest! This type of television storage is best for when you want to put it all out on display and have the space to do so.
