Our advice for setting up your TV corner correctly | Factory Street

The living room is a multifunctional environment par excellence: there you can read, work, dine, play and converse. It is therefore not always as simple as we think to organize your TV corner through these different uses. In this article we give you our precious advice for correctly setting up your television corner and furnishing your living room according to your wishes.

1. Choose the location for your TV stand

It all starts with choosing the location of the TV cabinet in your living room. Here are the three essential recommendations to take into account to ensure optimal visual comfort:

• Separate your sofa from the television by 2 to 5 meters
• Choose the height of your TV stand carefully so that your gaze reaches halfway up the screen when you are seated
• Do not expose the television in front of windows to avoid natural reflections from the sun

2. Choose a TV stand that suits your needs

To choose the TV cabinet suited to your expectations there are several things to know in advance: its dimensions which must take into account the space available in your living room, its height and the main use you want to make of it.

So you can choose between its different features. For example, a piece of furniture with niches, doors or storage shelves. We recommend alternating different types of storage so that your piece of furniture appears less heavy than a piece of furniture where everything is closed.

Tips: To make your room more harmonious, opt for a TV cabinet that is a little longer than your TV!

3. Take care of the light in your space with good lighting

From morning to evening, the living room should benefit from abundant light. For this reason we recommend first placing the sofa area near a window to obtain natural light. So, nothing better than using light colors on walls, furniture and objects to visually expand the feeling of space. To do this, you can choose to increase the number of direct and indirect light sources: pendant lamps and large lighting fixtures.

The choice of lighting must also be adapted to your business, in your living room. For example, during the day to work, choose very white and intense lighting to promote concentration and therefore productivity and, on the contrary, in the evening, opt for a soft, warm white light to spend cuddled evenings alone or with your loved ones.

4. Add small decorative touches

Yes, because beyond the practical aspect, the living room is also a personalized and welcoming space in which to feel good. And for this, there is nothing better than starting with the choice of the decorative style of your TV cabinet: Scandinavian, classic, industrial, vintage and retro, there are many decorative styles!

Then personalize your living room by dressing your walls according to your preferences: photo frames, paintings, posters. These decorations will allow you to design the character of your room. You can also add decorative objects to display on the TV stand: potted plants, flower pots and designer figurines.

Tip: Don’t display too many items on the TV stand to avoid a permanent feeling of clutter in the living room.
