Since modern people cannot live without their favorite programs, films, news, each apartment has at least one television. In the interior, it should be beautifully combined with the surroundings. To do this, select the installation location and properly arrange the space. After all, the device looks different. Depending on the purpose of the room, as well as its style. Let's try to figure out where to install the device and how beautifully fit into the general situation.
We hang on the wall
There are two possible options for the location of the TV in the interior: on the wall and on the stand (cabinet, table, cabinet). Most often, many people choose wall mounting, because the device does not take up extra space and children will not get it there. A wall with a TV will draw attention to itself, so its design should be given maximum attention.
For this arrangement, special brackets that can withstand a certain load are most often used. Their selection and installation can be done independently, but it is best to entrust the work to professionals. Brackets come in two types: stationary and swivel. The former hold the device firmly and do not allow it to move or rotate, while the latter allow households to adjust the position of the TV.
Additional options for placing the TV on the wall are also possible:
- on wood panels;
- inside drywall niches.
In the second option, it is located in a recess (masked), resulting in a flat surface with functional shelves for speakers, wires and interior items.
We put on furniture
If it is not possible to place the appliance on the wall, you will have to pick up furniture for it. Many people usually choose an elongated (sometimes all over the wall) TV stand in the interior. Wooden furniture looks very nice. And unusual - glass and metal. Home theater enthusiasts prefer to place all the equipment in one large closet built into the wall.
The most budgetary option for TV furniture is a special rack with several shelves. It can be made of glass, metal or MDF. Refined and unique design with such furniture, of course, will not work, but for temporary use it is quite suitable. You can choose more unusual options for such furniture, but they will be quite expensive. Exotic lovers will love the pylon televisions or built-in refrigerators.
Surrounding interior
A TV that hangs on a wall or stands on a pedestal looks lonely and simple. If this area is correctly designed, then it will emphasize the style of the room, and decorate it. A very interesting option is the emphasis on the wall with contrasting wallpaper, paint or panels. You can highlight the TV zone not only with color, but also with texture: fabrics, leather, decorative plaster. Together with the TV in the interior, natural materials look good: wood, brick, stone, bamboo canvases.
Design Ideas for this area:
- Baguette frames.
- Shelving, modular walls. In this case, the TV is usually located in the center of the whole composition.
- Illumination in the form of LED strips or spotlights arranged in random order.
- Shelves with favorite books, indoor plants and decor elements.
- Pictures or photographs.
- Decorative shutters or sliding panels.
In the living room
Before you make out the TV zone in the living room, you must correctly select the diagonal of the device. It should be such that a person does not see pixels when viewing. The TV in the interior of the living room serves as its decoration, so speakers, wires, cables, players should not be visible here. In this case, a modular wall or a narrow pedestal is perfect, where you can hide all the excess.
Recommendations for the design of a TV zone in the living room:
- In a bright room, a dark TV will be an eyesore and look like a stain. Walls painted in darker or contrasting colors will help to soften the perception.
- An excellent addition to the interior - various frames and compositions. The device is placed inside or under them.
- In the classic living room you can hide it behind the carved doors of the wardrobe.
- Luxury design options - the device is in a crocodile leather frame or placed in a long frame with a mirror.
Recently, it has become fashionable to decorate the living room with a fireplace. It not only looks beautiful, but also adds coziness, allows you to enjoy a live fire. But how to combine a fireplace and a TV in the interior so that they complement each other? It is best to place the device above the fireplace, but only if it is not large. Otherwise, the screen will be too high, and the fire will distract from watching your favorite shows. The place opposite the heating device is also not the most successful - glare will be visible on the device. The best option is to place the TV on the same wall, but with an offset.
In the bedroom
To choose the right model for the bedroom, you need to consider the style of its design. Thin plasma panels are suitable for high-tech style, for small classics - small models (up to 32 inches) with minimal functions. Once the device is selected, you need to find a place to install. It’s best to place it on a wall and attach it using the swivel brackets. When viewing in a lying position, an area opposite the head of the bed or on the side of the bed is suitable.
In large bedrooms, the wall with the TV can be decorated with decorative plaster or beautiful wallpaper. To prevent it from appearing as a dark spot, cover with decorative curtains. Also, in large-sized rooms, it is worth organizing a recreation area with an armchair, a small table, a floor lamp and other elements. The TV looks very beautiful in the interior of the bedroom with an accent wall, which can be glued with photo wallpaper, stone, wood products.
In the nursery
Many modern people have several televisions at home, one of which is located in the children's room. But even in this room, it should fit nicely into the surroundings. For example, children will definitely like a funny screen with a funny frame: in the form of fruit, a ball, a ship, a car. Do not choose too small models. The best option for the nursery is a diagonal of 32-33 inches.
More often than not, noisy children play, run and have fun, so it’s best to hang a TV on the wall. On a pedestal it is easy to hook and drop, and on the wall it is very difficult to get it. The space near can be equipped with a rack or a small wall to place on them an acoustic system, console, DVD player, books. All appliances have a lot of wires that can be easily hidden using suitable furniture.
In the kitchen
A television set in the kitchen should have a high level of resolution and contrast. This is due to the fact that most rooms are small, and you will have to look at the screen from a close distance. Also, its location should be convenient for the hostess, not cause discomfort.
A few recommendations for placing a TV in the kitchen:
- The appliance should be located away from the sink and stove so that moisture or grease does not get on it.
- Do not hang the appliance on the refrigerator, since harmful vibrations come from it.
- If the kitchen has a large countertop, then you can put the equipment there. But it should be remembered that the minimum distance to the screen is 1.5 m.
- A great option for the kitchen is the location of the equipment in a special niche, but it is suitable for large rooms.
You can very beautifully beat the interior of the kitchen with a sofa and a TV. When choosing a place for furniture and equipment, the area and design of the room are taken into account. In a large square kitchen, a corner looks very good, and in front of it is a TV. Today, there are often studio apartments with large kitchens-living rooms. They can divide the space using the sofa, installed with the back to the headset. The TV here can be placed on a pedestal or hung on a wall.
Combination with different styles
The TV can be installed in any room, but it should fit well into the overall style. The following are helpful tips to make it easier to select furniture and decor.
Room decoration ideas in the following styles:
- Medieval, which is distinguished by nobility and antiques. There should not be modern technology, so the TV is hidden in a baguette frame, behind a picture or cabinet door.
- The classic. Designers recommend hiding the screen using a wardrobe or curtain panel. The ideal option is a retractable TV, "hiding" in the wall or furniture.
- High-tech, which is famous for modern furniture and appliances. The TV can be hung on the wall, while it will not interfere with your eyes. If metal products are more common in the interior, the device case should be appropriate.
- Eastern, which is characterized by brightness, wealth, lots of carpets and upholstered furniture. The device is best designed as a picture (surrounded by an expensive frame) or built into furniture.
It is very difficult to fit the TV into the interior of different rooms. First you have to choose a device, and then the place of its installation. After that, you can think over the design of the environment and decor elements.
