New research shows that a large majority of people rather spend time on the couch in the living room in front of the TV than go out with friends.
Now that you are spending so much time in the living room, its best to make it comfortable and also ensure that the TV is placed in the right place.
TV even the sleek new designs take up place, especially if you have one of the large new flat screens. It will be difficult to place it in the right place in a small room.
It takes a lot of planning to decide where you should place the TV, wall mounted or on a stand. If you are opting for a TV stand, then a teak stand is your best bet, because it will be durable as well elegant.
Some of the teak TV stands available in the market are beautifully crafted and designed to blend in with more decors. You can get a teak TV stand which is sleek and has space to accommodate even your home theatre accessories.
However, some experts say that it is not advisable to stack all the components of the home theatre system into one cabinet or one on top of another. It is said, that component stacked like this will generate a lot of heat. So if the teak TV stand is more spacious it would be better.
In smaller apartments, people are opting for corner TV stands in teak. These corner TV stands also double up as display cases and the TV can be seen easily by everyone in the room. If the TV is on a stand, the viewing comfort is greater compared to the TV mounted on the wall, say experts
Wall mounting also becomes a problem when the room has too many windows. It is better to go in for a TV stand in this case.
The kind of TV stand you select will also depend on which room the TV will be placed. Experts say that the when the children are smaller, it is best to keep the TV away from the room in which the family spends the maximum time. But as they grow, it is better to monitor the viewing and it is best to place the TV in the living room. A TV in the kid’s room is a not a good idea.
The TV on the mantel piece is not a good idea, decorators say. For one thing the height would be all wrong, and there would be no viewing comfort. Make sure you don’t fix the TV too high, it is not good for your neck and you will be very uncomfortable. Some people opt for placing the TV on the bookcase, but this again, is not a good idea.
It is best you go in for a TV stand, a teak one at that, because the TV as a family entertainment item has become so important, that everyone has to be comfortable watching. So get some nice comfortable chairs, install a carpet and hang up some nice curtains to ensure that TV watching is fun.
