Maximize Your Living Room Space & Change The Focal Point With A Corner TV Stand

A living room that feels more spacious and personable might only be one furniture rearrangement away, and it all starts with your TV. Chances are, the big screen is in the center of the living room, perhaps nestled in an entertainment console, mounted on a wall, or seated on a mantel. Instead of this common layout with the TV as the focal point, you can off-center the device by placing it on a corner TV stand. It is the perfect opportunity to bring a dead space to life, enhance the room's flow, and create an open atmosphere.

You should consider your living room layout and purpose when finding the perfect spot for your TV. Its stand should also be treated like any other furniture in your living room. It might sound dramatic, but the TV stand's placement will affect how people move within the space and how well the room functions as an entertainment area. A corner stand can improve both of these scenarios, and just like with traditional consoles, there are several styles for a piece to match your home.

A corner TV stand opens up the room

Unless you have one of those fancy TVs that look like artwork, the device shouldn't be your living room's focal point. A corner TV stand is a great way to off-center the electronic and make your decor or furniture a focal point instead. This way, you'll create a more personable atmosphere and place the focus on gathering together. Despite the screen being in a nook, it won't look out of place. A corner console is a stellar design to flawlessly integrate a TV in your living room.

Not only is it visually appealing, but it is also a great way to take advantage of unused corner space. Placing chairs or tables in the angled niche can look awkward. The nooks are usually left for a floor lamp or potted plant; however, a corner stand optimizes the room's square footage, as it houses the TV and has an area for storage. The floor space where a traditional entertainment console would be can now for more seating, or the new empty mantel space can display decor.

The corner is also a practical spot to position the device. Since the TV is at an angle, there won't be glares, and you'll get a great view from almost any seat. You can also easily hide electrical cords right there in the corner. Further, there is a wide range of corner consoles, so you can find one that meets your needs and your space's style.

The best corner TV stand for your space

The question is — do you want something sleek and simple or grand and ornate? A TV stand with ample storage, like the Panana Corner TV Stand from Amazon, will make the most out of your space. You can find other options with pull-out drawers, closed shelves, or open shelves to meet your storage needs. A floating TV stand can be a good option for small living rooms because it doesn't take up any floor space. You get the mounted TV feel since the stand is installed in the wall and all the benefits of a corner console. The Emmeline Floating TV Stand from Home Depot also has open shelves for storage. Further, you can use the space underneath to decorate your TV stand with potted plants, baskets, or pictures.

Changing the living room's focal point from the TV to the comfy chairs where people gather adds a feeling of coziness to your space, and you can up the ante even more with an electric fireplace TV stand. It is a statement piece that draws attention away from the big screen. The Red Barrel Studio TV Stand from Wayfair is a media console that does just that. These three options are a taste of the variety out on the market. There are lots of options to put your TV on time out from being the center of attention and enjoy the homey living room.
