DIY TV stand with shelf

The television panel, over the decades of its existence, has become an integral part of our lives. And since it attracts the most attention, its aesthetic design in the interior cannot be neglected. We offer a selection of 17 TV wall design ideas that will help you decorate it beautifully and stylishly. Get inspired!

Experiment with wallpaper

Wallpaper is a magnificent decorative material that comes in a huge variety of models. To decorate the wall with a TV, you can use a plain version with a pattern or come up with a wonderful combination of contrasting fabrics.

The most expensive are natural wallpapers, which are made from fabric, bamboo or balsa wood. Decorating a wall with one of these materials will certainly give the room an unusual and sophisticated look.

3D wall with TV

Wall panels have a huge selection of textures, and their volumetric counterparts can radically change the perception of the interior. They are easy to install - no scrupulous leveling of the surface is required.

By decorating a wall with a TV with this finishing material, you will get another significant advantage - you can lay sound insulation between the panels and the wall. Now you can safely enjoy watching TV without worrying about the volume.

Plasterboard niche

Drywall is a universal material with which you can not only remove wall unevenness, but also create the most sophisticated designs. Plan a niche at your discretion - it can be just a recess in a flat wall or a whole composition of portals and shelves. In the latter option, LED lighting of structural elements would look appropriate.

A wall with a niche for a TV will not only decorate the room, but also give it additional volume. An interesting solution would be to arrange a niche in a corner area to save space in a small room.

What to make a shelf for a TV from

Your imagination can run wild when choosing the material for making a TV stand.
Of course, you can make a shelf from Bohemian crystal, marble, mahogany, inlaid with precious stones...

But, remaining true to the principles of minimalism and ergonomics, let's focus on such common and inexpensive materials as:

• wood, chipboard or MDF;
• drywall;
• plastic or organic glass;
• durable tempered glass ;

Wood panels or laminate

Wooden wall panels have recently become a stylish and comfortable feature of many interiors. This natural material looks noble, warm and beautiful, possessing a unique texture given by Mother Nature.

They produce material from solid wood or shavings in the form of boards, slabs, as well as three-dimensional parts with different patterns. By the way, with the help of slatted panels or regular laminate on the wall, you can easily adjust the space of the room - horizontal laying will expand the walls, and vertical laying will raise the height.

Hiding the wires in a box

If, after all, ditching a wall is too radical a way for you to solve the problem of wires getting tangled and interfering with comfortable viewing, then this option can confidently be called a compromise. First, let’s talk about all the advantages of using it.

• extremely simple installation;
• magnificent aesthetic appearance;
• compliance with all fire safety standards.

Let's touch on the cons:

• the cost of purchasing a decorative box or cable duct;
• the need to make holes in the wall.

In order to disguise the wires from the TV on the wall, you can use it as a cable channel

, and a full-fledged decorative
box
. The photo below demonstrates the difference between these two elements.

The basic material from which the box can be made is:

• plastic;
• metal.

However, combined options using two of these materials are also often found.

What will be the procedure?

1. calculate the required amount of material, taking into account the direction of the wires and the size of the room;
2. fix the box on the wall, make the necessary cuts in corners and transitions;
3. keep in mind that the wire should lie freely in the box, so select the appropriate channel for it in diameter;
4. After installation is complete, you can repaint the cable channel or box in accordance with your preferences or interior design logic.

The whole process is on video

You can do without painting, and simply select in advance a box of a suitable color design with the wall. Fortunately, the choice in construction stores is now more than wide and can satisfy even the most extravagant requests.

Surrounded by shelves

If the wall on which the TV panel is installed is spacious enough, add a few shelves. On them you can place decorative elements, magazines, board games, remote control, etc.

You can also use the installation of non-bulky modular cabinets. Nowadays, hanging furniture elements with LED lighting are in trend.

Types of wall shelves

Depending on the TV, the supply market accommodates both narrow and wide shelves, equipped with plugs and brackets that help install the screen in the most appropriate way at the desired angle. For old “boxes”, dimensional and extremely durable structures are provided, for modern plasma TVs – cut-offs up to 15 cm. Figuratively, wall fasteners can be divided into: simple and rotary. Simple ones can be done with your own hands and the equipment on them will be located strictly in a straight line. Inclined ones are branded products and involve placing the TV at the desired angle so that you can watch programs from any angle convenient for you.

The main types of wall shelves for TV are as follows:

1. Furniture wall. Ready-made furniture structure with space for a TV and many other additional shelves and drawers. This is the most common TV location option.
2. A series of closed cabinets and shelves. Externally they are similar to a furniture wall, only they can be moved according to your taste and mounted on the wall in any order.
3. Open hanging shelves. A regular straight cut of a board without frills is very convenient and quite cheap.
4. Shelf-stand. A rational solution for placing a TV with an additional bedside table below will help to place other items in it (magazines, tuners).
5. Shelves (niches) made of plasterboard. Such structures can be given any shape, lighting can be installed, and a luxurious place for the TV is guaranteed.
6. Contrasting panels made of plastic, boards, marble, stone. They draw attention to themselves so much that the TV fades into the background.

In front of you is a shelf-cabinet of overall size, allowing you to hold not only

The classic image of a furniture wall is shown in this photo. It combines drawers and small cabinets that harmonize perfectly with the open area where DVD and TV are located

In a minimalist style

Minimalism is not characterized by surfaces with patterns, floral prints, monograms and other decorative excesses. The wall with the TV should look laconic, drawing the main attention to the technology.

Here you can use painting the wall, pasting with plain wallpaper or decorating with wall panels. To “domesticate” the austere interior a little, build a plasterboard structure with a built-in electric fireplace and TV. Additionally, you can install hidden lighting, and you are guaranteed a comfortable evening!

Manufacturing stages

Having understood all the nuances of the work, you can begin installing the TV shelf itself from plasterboard.

Making a niche:

1. Planning, marking. First, the TV is measured and its dimensions are transferred to the plasterboard wall. To save time, markings are made 10 cm more for each side.
2. Installation of profiles. After applying the markings, installation begins. For fasteners you will need to purchase self-tapping screws, a drill and a screwdriver. The frame is made of profiles. First you need to think about the depth of the niche, but it is important not to make it very deep, because it will look too massive.
3. Installation of drywall. The most important thing when working with drywall is to calculate the dimensions so that in the future a pair of adjacent slabs remain even and have no protrusions or edges.
   After measuring the materials, we attach it to the profiles that are already installed on the wall. Important! You should install all existing cables and sockets in advance, and then proceed directly to installing the sheets.
4. Finishing. For finishing you should:
   putty, level the seams and the wall;
5. glue the self-adhesive mesh;
6. treat the entire surface twice with a primer and also with sandpaper;
7. coat the surface with varnish (if desired).
8. TV installation. Having made the shelf, only the final moment remains, namely the installation of the TV. When selling this type of electronic equipment, the kit includes fasteners for mounting the device. This element is installed using dowels and screws.

TV in the phytowall

Another original idea is to arrange a phytowall with a TV. This step will allow you to successfully decorate the interior with eco-friendly notes, and as a bonus, get an excellent means of cleaning and humidifying the air.

There is no need to worry that you will now have to worry about caring for plants - modern “living” walls are equipped with an automatic watering system. All that remains is to install a few lamps.

Mirror wall

Mirror surfaces in the interior are a great way to not only add originality to the decor, but also expand the space. Mirrors are able to reflect light flows, so the room as a whole will seem lighter.

Install a large mirror panel on the wall with the TV, and the interior will be transformed beyond recognition. You can also use small mirrors, for example, hang several mirror forms in a chaotic manner around the TV.

If you have any concerns about the fragility of the material, you can use special mirror films made of vinyl. Typically, they are produced in roll form or in plates, which allows you to install them yourself, without the involvement of specialists.

DIY corner TV stand: examples, drawings, calculations

Sometimes you feel a certain sense of nostalgia for “Soviet” times. Even if everything was not so beautiful and stylish in the ordinary interiors of those days, not living rooms, but “halls,” but it was technically and ergonomically correct. The distance to the TV should be at least three meters - this is a fact. This means that such fashionable low elongated TV stands with a room width of about 2-2.5 meters cannot in any way be used in the setting. A do-it-yourself corner TV stand remains the best option.

DIY TV stand dimensions

No light should fall on the television screen, otherwise the image will not be transmitted correctly, with darkening or glare. The simplest solution is to place the TV half-sided or “back” to the window. The classic option, in which the TV can be mounted on a wall or built into a furniture wall, will not work in this case. An alternative to linear stationary placement of video equipment can be a roll-out or free-standing corner TV stand with your own hands. It can be beveled or angular.

Before starting design, the dimensions of a DIY TV stand are determined, first of all, by the dimensions of the video equipment.

• The average size of a liquid crystal or plasma screen is about 800x550 mm (there are models with smaller and larger diagonals). Therefore, the lid of the corner cabinet with your own hands should be at least 900 mm diagonally. The width can remain small, about 350-450 mm, if there is no need to make maximum use of the free corner for storing things inside the cabinet.
• The height of a do-it-yourself corner TV stand can vary between 450-850 mm. There are no clear recommendations for living room furniture on this matter. It is logical to start from the height of the sofa seat (there are low and quite high models), the height of the coffee table (table + cabinet sets look harmonious when they are close in height). On average, the height from the floor can be 550-600 mm. If the drawings of a corner cabinet with your own hands are developed for the bedroom, they start from the height of the back - foot. It can block the screen if the bedside table is too low.

As an example, here is a photo and drawing of a do-it-yourself corner cabinet with dimensions 780x850x850 mm.

With dimensions starting from an angle of 850x850 mm, the diagonal length of the cover will be about 1200 mm and the width will be 550 mm.

With these dimensions, the width of the open inner part of the TB corner bedside table is about 500 mm. If you reduce the external dimensions, then the free space of open shelves will correspondingly decrease.

What kind of corner TV stand can you make with your own hands?

Simple calculations allow you to determine the minimum dimensions of a corner cabinet with your own hands based on the lid. So, with a distance from the corner of 650x650, the diagonal will be 916 mm.

The model can have a very conventional angular shape, suggesting the possibility of arbitrary placement - both along the wall and near the window.

Options using glass and metal look great in modern interiors. In this case, a do-it-yourself corner TV stand looks more like a low shelving unit or bookcase.

In classic interiors, models made from solid wood with a more solid closed structure will look more harmonious.

In my opinion, the most versatile are combined versions of a do-it-yourself corner TV cabinet, with a “straight” section, which can be left as an open niche or drawers built in, and side corner sections.

I will give an example of calculating the details, drawings from a photo of a similar corner TV stand with my own hands.

Do-it-yourself drawings of a corner TV stand

Designing corner cabinets to make yourself is not so difficult with a general understanding of the design. Let's take the lid dimension of 1200x450 mm as a basis. For open corner sections, let’s step back, for example, 250 mm, then the central straight cabinet will be 700 mm in length and, for example, 430 mm in depth (front overhang 20 mm). Next, using simple geometric constructions, we calculate the cuts at an angle. I began to measure from the center to obtain a strictly correct, symmetrical shape. The result was almost 850 mm - as in the drawing of the already shown version of the corner cabinet.

You can “plant” the cabinet deeper, but then the central part will also become smaller, it will become 700 mm narrower, and the side shelves will be wider.

Next, we finish drawing the lid and the corner open sections to the straight cabinet. In this case, the lid may not have a strictly regular geometric shape, be wider along the front edge or be rounded.

The corner TV stand itself can be completely open or supplemented with a drawer.

In the first case, the detailing and cut map for a bedside table with a height of 550 mm will look like this.

The calculation is made automatically for chipboard with a thickness of 16 mm. It makes sense to lay the corner sloping shelves in a single piece, one into two, and then open them diagonally - the consumption will be less. But this is an example of calculating a model that can be modified and changed as desired.

Or maybe it's furniture?

One of the practical solutions is furniture along the wall with a built-in television panel. Thus, you can immediately “kill two birds with one stone”: provide the apartment with a large storage system, and provide the TV with a permanent place of residence.

In a small living room or bedroom, you can hide the TV in the closet behind sliding doors, which will hide it when not needed.

Decorative stone wall

When talking about stone in the interior, you need to understand that it can be natural and artificial. The first one has quite a lot of weight, so its installation is possible in private homes. As for artificial, this is the most popular material today for decorating walls in an apartment.

A wall with a TV surrounded by stone will turn the relaxation area into a warm, cozy corner, despite the fact that the material itself is naturally cold. You don’t have to carefully level and sand the wall - volumetric slabs will hide all the imperfections.

Wire decoration

If we briefly describe the essence of this method, it will roughly boil down to the following: “Why hide something if you can organically fit the wires from the TV into the interior?”
. In this, of course, one can see the line of least resistance, but if in the end everything looks very beautiful and cozy, then why not admit that such a solution to the problem has a right to life?

Let's try to describe several options for elegant and natural decoration of TV wires:

1. silicone nozzles
   - you can choose a wide variety of shades; there are shaped elements that add a significant amount of originality and extraordinary imagination to the design;
2. figured twisting
   - you can achieve an impressive effect if you simply fold the wires from the TV into any geometric figure or any arbitrary shape that meets your aesthetic needs;
3. plant branches
   - one of the simplest, but invariably true ways, lies in the fact that branches of various green plants are placed under the TV panel, as a result, the focus of attention from the wires shifts to attractive-looking greenery, or decorate the wires with voluminous paper flowers that you can do it yourself;
4. decorative panels
   - wood, plastic, and even metal can be used as a material, the shape is arbitrary, and the dimensions should be just such as to safely cover all the wires coming from the TV (see examples of 3D panels for walls).

All that we have listed above are so-called tips for the “lazy”. Or simply for resourceful people who know how to save their energy. However, sometimes it is not possible to hide the wires from the TV in the same way as in the photo above. We have to resort to more severe measures.

TV in a baguette frame

The interior in a classic style cannot be confused with anything. The richness of the decoration, carved furniture made of expensive wood, stucco, massive chandeliers, gilding - the presence of such pomp often makes it difficult to install a black rectangle of a television panel.

A good solution would be to design a frame that matches the style. A TV on the wall with edging in the form of a massive picture frame will look quite harmonious. It can be gilded or patinated to give it a rich, historic look.

Polyurethane moldings will also come to the rescue. The wall can be previously covered with wallpaper in a classic style with a large, but not bright pattern, so as not to distract attention.

Wall Hanging TV Stand Styles

Today, a wide variety of furniture is on sale; its range, functionality and design make it possible to satisfy even the most demanding customers. Hanging TV stands are no exception - among them you can also find the best option for any interior.

• Modern style does not accept excesses. Preference is given to universal, laconic designs, especially if the room is small. Such compact furnishings, often a combination of glass and metal, will perfectly complement any fashionable ensemble. Moreover, they will always be combined with the TV itself, the body of which is usually made in high-tech style. Of course, in a lush, richly decorated living room, such furniture will look ridiculous.



• Wooden stands in a classic style are usually equipped with blind doors decorated with carvings. The furniture is coated with transparent varnish, which emphasizes the beautiful texture and noble shade of the wood. Exquisite patterns and luxurious textures are unlikely to form a harmonious ensemble with modern technology. The way out of the situation is to use a dark glass tabletop, which will smooth out the style inconsistency and combine the objects in a single composition. In a calm, elegant interior, good quality classic hanging stands will look good.
• To stylistically combine the TV body with luxurious, richly carved models in the Baroque style, the latter are made of natural wood and complemented with acrylic facades. The shiny acrylic surface looks good with a modern TV screen, and the parts of the cabinet, made of solid wood, make it similar to other furniture in the living room.
• Models in techno and hi-tech styles look organically in a modern, fashionable apartment, appropriately decorated. The combination of sharp corners and smooth lines, the soft shine of metal and plastic makes the interior light and complete. In most cases, such furnishings are not burdened with an excessive number of additional elements. You can often find rather laconic products, the originality of which is achieved due to their unusual shape. Glass is usually used as a tabletop here.
• A light wood cabinet with unusual metal handles is well suited for a Provence style interior.

Spectacular and multifunctional, long hanging TV stands in the living room make the space modern and add an original touch. They fit well into the furniture ensemble as a whole and create pleasant and comfortable conditions for watching video programs.

Leather wall trim

Designers increasingly began to pay attention to leather wall decoration, which perfectly emphasizes the high status of the owners of the house. The material fills the interior with nobility and respectability inherent in aristocratic mansions.

Leather for wall decoration is available in the form of wallpaper or tiles. Since the material is quite expensive, most often it is used to decorate individual areas. One of them could be the wall with the TV, which is the main focus of attention in the living room.

Metal wall with TV

A rare option, but also has a right to exist. Moreover, this solution has a lot of positive advantages. A wall decorated with metal and a plasma panel will look great in high-tech or loft styles.

This panel has a reflective effect and is not subject to mechanical stress. The design uses smooth or corrugated steel, scraps of metal “sewn together” with rivets, or the most decorative and, at the same time, expensive material – 3D metal plates.

Pros and distinctive features of a hanging TV stand

Today, hanging TV stands are often installed in apartments. This design brings airiness to the space and makes it visually larger. The cabinet is attached directly to the wall, leaving free space underneath.

When making hanging stands, in most cases the lightest materials are used, but in general any materials can be used. Compactness and sleek design in this design are combined with functionality thanks to compartments for storing various items and shelves for equipment.

Having a hanging TV stand has a lot of advantages:

• this piece of furniture looks great in a duet with the flat screen of a modern TV, giving a fashionable accent to the space;
• dust does not accumulate under the cabinet, which greatly simplifies cleaning;
• space is used with maximum efficiency;
• acts both as a hanging TV stand and as a storage system.

The TV does not have to be on the top of the hanging stand. It is preferable to hang a flat screen above the structure using special brackets. The only disadvantage of this option is that the wires are visible. But everything is compensated by the stylish appearance of the resulting tandem.

If desired, craftsmen can decorate the cable with any elements, which will further decorate the interior. But in most cases, hidden wiring is carried out, or the cable is covered with wall cabinets and shelves.

The frame of the hanging TV stand consists of the following parts:

• upper horizon;
• two panels located on the side;
• the wall located behind;
• bottoms

Decoration with photo wallpapers

You can visually highlight the wall with a TV in the interior using photo wallpaper. Some time ago their popularity decreased, but today they are again gaining the trust of designers.

There are many models of wallpaper with photographic images, including canvases that have special effects - stereoscopic or images with perspective.

Art Gallery

The wall with the TV is dominant in almost any room. The views of household members and their guests are most directed towards her. Why not decorate it with the most successful family photographs, which will indicate a prosperous and friendly atmosphere?

If you don’t want to show off your family life, hang pictures or posters on the wall that will best suit the general style direction.

TV with fireplace

The fireplace and the TV are fierce rivals today. If previously families gathered in a close circle or held a celebration near a warm fireplace, now everyone gravitates towards television panels.

Since an artificial fireplace is installed in apartments, the problem can be solved quite simply - place both objects in the same zone. In this case, the TV is installed above the fireplace, and together they will receive an equal share of attention, and you will receive a luxurious, warm interior.

"Disguising" the TV

A TV placed on the wall can be hidden using a picture. There are separate companies that specialize in the production of just such canvases.

The essence of the design is that a special mechanism is installed in its upper part, which is capable of raising and lowering the picture. The television panel itself is hidden in a niche. It is quite possible to establish such a picture yourself.

If this option does not fit into the modern interior design, you can use sliding panels. Their design can blend into the wall or act as a contrasting accent.

An important addition to modern audio and video equipment is a TV shelf. Such equipment is an indispensable attribute of modern interiors.

This is where the main emphasis is often placed in the living room, which is why it is so important to choose beautiful and high-quality surrounding furniture.

Manufacturers offer a huge selection of original shelves, the design and functionality of which will appeal to even the most demanding customers.

In production they use a wide variety of materials and designs for all kinds of interior styles. So, let's find out how to choose the most suitable option.

What to consider when choosing furniture

Modern TV models are small in size and can be hung on the wall. But not everyone is happy with this idea.

Another option is to install the equipment on the cabinet wall, but this is also not the best option. The ideal solution is a beautiful TV shelf in the living room, which looks great in the interior.

Such furniture is compact and can be of any size, shape and design.

First of all, you need to decide on the dimensions. The size can be any and is limited only by the available space.

It is worth considering that the length of the furniture should not be less than the width of the TV. You need to think about the placement of the shelf. It should be located in a place where it will not disturb residents.

A shelf is an excellent option for small spaces. It can be attached to the wall with special fasteners. Since the TV has significant weight and dimensions, this furniture set must be durable and reliable. An important selection criterion is the material.

Shelves can be made from the following materials:

1. Wood has an attractive appearance and an affordable price. This material is suitable for structures in any design - from simple minimalism to massive shelves in the Scandinavian style. More affordable options include products made from chipboard and laminated veneer.
2. Glass structures contribute to the visual expansion of space. They are great for modern interiors. Tempered glass models are especially durable.
3. Plastic and plexiglass are safe, lightweight and durable materials. Products made from it are characterized by a huge selection of textures, colors and designs.
4. You can make a plasterboard shelf with your own hands. The structure must be reinforced to support the weight of the equipment.
5. Metal structures are recommended for high-tech rooms. This material can be matte, smooth or chrome plated.

Options made from mixed materials also look stylish. Wood goes well with glass, and metal surfaces with transparent plastic. The shelf is an important element in home furnishings.

It can be placed at any distance from the floor. The functionality of the design also matters. Such furniture may include closed or open shelves, as well as drawers. It is worth deciding on the design features of the shelves. Corner models are a rational solution. The design does not take up much space and is conveniently located in the corner.

Products with built-in brackets are also popular.

Types of shelves

There are different types of TV shelves:

1. The wall model helps to conveniently place the equipment. It's easy to clean underneath.
2. Suspended design is recommended for small spaces. It allows you to visually expand the space. Such a TV shelf must be very reliable so that the equipment does not collapse.
3. The corner model can be external or internal. Recommended for use in limited space.
4. The design with the bracket looks attractive. With their help, the screen surface can be positioned at a convenient angle.
5. The floor design is a practical and most common option. Such stands can be of various colors and shapes.
6. The cabinet - the wall is part of the headset. It fits harmoniously into the surrounding interior.
7. The straight shelf is located along the wall and is spacious.

When choosing a shelf, you need to take into account the overall style of the interior. For modern design, excesses are not recommended. A laconic design will look good in a small room.

Shelves made of a combination of metal and glass are perfect for fashionable decoration. They fit perfectly with the TV body.

A TV stand in a classic style is usually made of wood and decorated with solid doors with exquisite carvings.

The shade and texture of the wood is emphasized by the varnish coating. Wooden furniture suits different styles. Especially recommended for country style, Provence, Art Nouveau or Scandinavian design.

TV shelves installed on the floor in a high-tech or techno style look great in a modern room and in combination with the corresponding interior. Any design can be chosen for plasterboard shelves. In this case, it is necessary to think about manufacturing and mounting to the wall. The shelf structure can be multi-tiered, combined or with side walls.

Mounting options also vary. You can choose the right shelf for any room - living room, bedroom or kitchen.

Which is better

When deciding which shelf is suitable for a particular TV, you need to take into account not only financial capabilities and preferences.

The following factors may influence your choice:

1. Material. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the interior style and performance characteristics. Wood is a traditional and environmentally friendly material. Metal, glass and plastic are among the more modern options.
2. Types of construction. Corner, wall, and floor TV shelves are popular.
3. Size. Before buying furniture, you need to measure the dimensions of the TV.
4. Location. It is necessary to choose a suitable place in advance. Successful options include placing them opposite armchairs and a sofa.

If the room is small, then the most rational option is a corner shelf for a TV. With small dimensions, such a design from the inside can be very voluminous.

As an option for a small space, you can choose sliding wardrobes with a shelf. This functional solution can be used in the bedroom. For a small room, an option with brackets is also suitable, allowing you to save usable space.

How to choose a place for TV and shelves

An ergonomic TV shelf should not only serve as a practical stand, but also be an interior decoration.

It is important to take care not only of the appropriate environment, but also of the number of seats near the TV. When installing a wall-mounted TV shelf, you need to take care of durable fasteners.

When choosing a place to install furniture with a TV, you must follow the following recommendations:

1. A hanging shelf for a TV in the living room should be positioned so that the image is at eye level of the viewer in the normal position.
2. When mounting furniture on a wall, it is important to find out what material it is made of. The best option is concrete and brick.
3. The screen must be protected from direct sunlight. It should also not be installed near heating devices.
4. You can put the TV in a niche in the kitchen. In this case, you need to leave a gap of 10 cm at the edges.
5. Equipment and furniture must be placed taking into account the placement of cable channels and sockets.
6. It is advisable to install the TV at a distance of a meter from the floor and 1.5 meters from the seats. It should not be blocked by other pieces of furniture.
7. You should not place equipment in front of windows so that the sun's rays do not fall on the screen. This effect should also be taken into account when choosing a glass shelf for your TV.

It is recommended to arrange the furniture in the living room in a semicircle away from the TV. When installing equipment in the bedroom, you need to consider that viewing should be comfortable from a lying position.

Where not to post

There are also some prohibitions that must be taken into account when choosing places for the TV. Suspended structures are not suitable for small rooms.

They cannot be installed above a fireplace with an open fire. A small niche in the wall is not an ideal place to place a wall shelf. When choosing a seat, you should check the dimensions and distance to the structures from the sofa or armchairs.

The following rules will come in handy:

1. Shelves should not be placed above any sources of high thermal radiation.
2. It is not recommended to place the equipment in a niche where there is little free space and insufficient ventilation.
3. It is better not to install a shelf in a small room, as the shelf will have to be hung very high to save space, which will make viewing uncomfortable.

How to make it yourself

Now we’ll learn how to make a TV shelf with your own hands. Interesting videos with detailed descriptions of installation can be found on the Internet.

The video below shows a master class on creating a shelf in several tiers. There is space not only for a TV, but also for additional equipment.

You can make a structure not only from wood, but also from plasterboard, which can be seen in this video: This video clearly shows how to make a simple shelf. There is an option with a massive cabinet; the use of high-quality materials makes the structure more durable.
