3 Tips for choosing your new tv unit
Have you had the same tv unit for a long time now and are thinking it’s time for a change? Each year, new styles are released, each with their own unique benefits which quickly outdo their predecessors. If you’ve had yours for a long time, now could be the time to update and pick something new like one of these low TV units or wall hanging units.
When it comes to picking a new TV unit, there are a few things you should think of before committing to purchasing one. Is it long enough that it fits your tv stand? Does it come in a color that matches the rest of your furniture? Will you need storage? The list goes on! To help you with choosing your next unit, we have put our guide together below.
Is it long enough for your TV stand?
As the years go by, the size of your TV will have been getting bigger and bigger. 55-inch tv’s used to be considered a luxury, very expensive item, but now they are more affordable with even bigger size tv’s being readily available. When buying your new TV unit, the first rule is to check the length of it and that it fits your TV stand. TV stands vary in design, some with two legs, others with one center hold. If your current tv has a center hold but you think you may upgrade in the near future, try to base the width on a two-leg tv so that it will still fit it.
Do you require storage within your TV unit?
We mention above that TV units come in many different styles, part of these styles include storage options or not. To help narrow down your search, start by thinking about whether you need storage within your TV unit. If you have a games console, then storage can be very useful for storing the games and your accessories. If you use Netflix, Amazon, or Now Tv, then you may not have much to store as this is built into the smart tv.
Does its style and color match your current furniture?
Keeping the feel and style of your living room is important and for this reason alone, it’s essential your new TV unit matches the other pieces of furniture you have in the room – if it doesn’t it will stick out like a sore thumb. Try to see the tv units in person and take a photo of your room so that you can compare them when doing your research. If you see something you like, consult with others to check it fits in – this way you have the best chance of achieving a similar color match.
We hope the above tips make choosing your TV unit that little bit easier. Once you’ve done choosing, now is the chance to look to update your backyard, ready for when you have guests round.
