Rattan TV Stands & Media Consoles

Choosing a Media Console

Display your latest tech gadgets or store your favorite books and decor items in a media stand or media cabinet from World Market. Choosing the right media console can transform your living room into a cozy well-organized retreat. Here are some things to know about selecting the perfect media console for your home.

How to Choose the Right Size for Your Media Console

When selecting a media stand consider both its width and height to ensure it complements your room and TV setup. Here’s a quick guide:

• Width: The console should be at least as wide as your TV with a little extra space on each side. For instance, if you have a 55-inch TV, a 60-inch-wide console is ideal. This not only ensures a balanced look but also provides room for decorative accents.
• Height: To ensure optimal viewing comfort, the center of your TV screen should ideally be at or slightly below eye level when seated. This generally corresponds to a media console height of about 20 to 25 inches, though this can vary depending on your seating arrangement and whether the TV is mounted or placed on the console. For those who prefer a more elevated look or have a larger TV, a taller console can create a striking focal point and provide extra storage space.

How to Decorate a Media Console

Use framed photos, small plants, or unique sculptures on either side of your television. If you have open shelves, consider adding a mix of books, baskets, and decorative boxes to create visual interest while keeping clutter at bay.

For a cohesive look, try matching the color palette of your accessories with the overall theme of your room. Don’t forget to leave space for essential electronics like remotes and gaming consoles.

Whether you prefer a minimalist modern style or something more rustic and traditional, a well-decorated media console can tie your entire space together. Whatever style you choose, media stands add ample storage and display options.
