Consider the media console, often known as the TV stand, as your additional bookshelf. This long, low-profile piece of furniture provides a chance to show off your TV as well as your technological gadgets and thoughtfully positioned home décor accents.
Media consoles have changed to meet these new needs as more homes opt to streaming their entertainment, with less emphasis on towering size and more on sleek style.
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT:
Size should be your first priority because a media console’s primary function is to provide your TV with a surface to sit on (or above). To ensure that the proportions look balanced, make sure your media console is wider than your TV and leaves some additional room on either side.
The additional media formats you intend to keep on your TV stand should also be taken into account. Choose a media console with partially covered storage on the bottom if you possess a variety of media players, stereos, and gaming systems to keep it looking tidy. If you only use a Kindle Fire TV Stick for media and have no additional accessories, you can choose an open shelving option for a more airy appearance.
Additionally, bear in mind that each of these pieces will need to be assembled, so prepare to have extra hands available in case you need help doing so. Like all furniture, TV stands come in a wide range of costs. Options for any budget are included on our list of the top media consoles without sacrificing design, functionality, or quality.
