How to Choose the Perfect TV Stand for Your Living Room

Finding the right TV stand for your living room is more than just a matter of aesthetics; it’s about balancing functionality, style, and space. Whether you're looking to enhance your entertainment area or create a cohesive design in your home, the perfect TV stand should meet your needs and complement the rest of your decor. With six unique models and four size options, choosing the best TV stand might feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—this guide will help you make the right choice for your space.

1. Consider the Size of Your Living Room

Before you begin your search, it’s important to assess the size of your living room. The TV stand should fit comfortably in the space without overwhelming the room. Here’s how to choose the right size based on your living room dimensions:

Small Living Rooms (Up to 120-150 cm in width): If you have a smaller space, a compact TV stand is ideal. Our 120 cm and 150 cm options are perfect for cozier spaces, offering both style and practicality without dominating the room.
Medium to Large Living Rooms (150-210 cm in width): For larger living rooms, you can opt for bigger TV stands like our 180 cm or 210 cm options. The 180 cm size is particularly popular across all models due to its perfect balance between storage capacity and sleek design, making it an excellent choice for many homeowners.
For Spacious or Open-Plan Areas: In open-plan living rooms or spaces with larger walls, a 210 cm TV stand can anchor the room and provide ample storage and display space.

2. Choose the Right Model for Your Style

Each living room has its own unique style, and your TV stand should reflect that. Here at Stöff, we offer six distinct TV stand models, each designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. Whether you prefer sleek minimalism or a more mid-century modern vibe, we have a model that fits your vision.

Model 1: Clean lines and minimalist design, ideal for contemporary or Scandinavian-style homes. This model works beautifully in both 120 cm and 180 cm sizes, offering a subtle yet stylish touch.
Model 2: A blend of functionality and elegance, with extra storage options for those who want a more organized entertainment center. The 150 cm version is popular for medium-sized rooms, offering just the right amount of storage space.
Model 3: This is our most popular model, featuring a stunning mid-century modern design with clean lines and warm wood tones. The 180 cm version of Model 3 is particularly sought after for its spacious design, combining functionality with eye-catching aesthetics. It’s the perfect choice if you want a balance between form and function.
Model 4: Featuring a more rustic, natural look, this model is great for homes with a cozy, farmhouse vibe. The 210 cm option allows you to make a statement while providing plenty of space for your media components and decor.
Model 5: A sophisticated and elegant design, Model 5 is ideal for those looking for a more refined touch in their living room. Its 180 cm size is perfect for those who need extra storage while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Model 6: This model is perfect for modern homes that value simplicity and minimalism. The 180 cm option offers a slim yet functional profile, making it an excellent choice for those who want to maximize space without compromising on design.

3. Focus on Functionality

While aesthetics are important, functionality is key when choosing a TV stand. Consider how much storage space you need and what kind of components or decor items you plan to display.

Storage: If you have a lot of media equipment or plan to store items like books, decor, or vinyl records, look for models with ample storage options such as shelves, drawers, or cabinets. Model 3 in the 180 cm size offers a great balance of open and closed storage, perfect for keeping things organized and tidy.
Cable Management: Ensure that your chosen TV stand has proper cable management solutions. Look for built-in cable holes or hidden compartments to keep wires and cords out of sight for a cleaner look.
Weight Capacity: Ensure that the TV stand you choose can support the weight of your television and media components. Larger stands, like the 180 cm and 210 cm options, generally have higher weight capacities, making them ideal for heavier or larger TVs.

4. Match the TV Stand with Your TV Size

The size of your TV is a crucial factor when choosing the right stand. As a general rule, your TV stand should be at least a few inches wider than your TV to ensure stability and balance.

For TVs up to 50 inches, a 120 cm TV stand is sufficient.
For TVs between 50 and 60 inches, a 150 cm or 180 cm stand works best.
For TVs larger than 60 inches, a 180 cm or 210 cm stand is recommended to accommodate both the TV and additional decor or media components.

The 180 cm version across all models is particularly popular as it provides the perfect size for most mid-to-large TVs while offering extra space for decorative items or media equipment.

5. Consider the Height of the TV Stand

The height of your TV stand is just as important as its width. Ideally, your TV should be at eye level when seated, so you don’t have to strain your neck while watching.

For low-profile, minimalist designs, opt for shorter TV stands like Model 6, which allow the TV to sit closer to the ground, perfect for modern and contemporary settings.
If you prefer a higher viewing position, models with additional shelving or storage underneath, like Model 3 or Model 5, might suit your needs better.

6. The Popular Choice: Model 3, 180 cm

As mentioned earlier, Model 3 in the 180 cm size is the most popular choice among our customers. Its mid-century modern design, combined with its perfect dimensions, makes it a versatile option for a variety of living room styles. The 180 cm size provides enough space for larger TVs while offering storage for your media components and decor, making it both functional and visually appealing.
