TV Stand
TV Stands and TV Units
A TV stand gives your television a secure, comfortable viewing position while keeping the surrounding area neat. It can also provide valuable storage for consoles, media players, remote controls and the cables that come with them.
Explore Mimo TV stands and TV units in a choice of sizes, finishes and designs. Whether you need a compact unit for a smaller living room or a wider TV cabinet with generous storage, you can find furniture that suits both your screen and your space.
How to Choose a TV Stand
The right TV stand should be practical, well proportioned and easy to use. Before choosing one, consider the size of your television, where you normally sit and how much equipment you need to store.
Start by checking the dimensions and weight of your TV. The stand should be wide enough to support it comfortably, with no part of the screen or feet extending beyond the edges. You should also check the unit’s maximum weight capacity rather than judging its strength by appearance alone.
It helps to measure the available wall or corner space too. Remember to account for skirting boards, sockets, radiators and nearby doors. If the unit has cupboards or drawers, make sure there is enough room for them to open fully.
What Size TV Stand Do You Need?
A TV stand that is wider than the television usually creates a more balanced look and leaves room for a lamp, speaker or a few decorative pieces. It can also make the screen feel more securely positioned.
Televisions are measured diagonally, but TV stands are measured from side to side. For that reason, two products described with similar measurements may not actually be the same width. Check the television’s full external width, including its frame and feet, before ordering.
The size of the room matters as well. A very wide cabinet can overwhelm a compact lounge, while a narrow unit may look out of proportion beneath a large television. Use masking tape to mark the proposed width and depth on the floor if you want a clearer idea of how much space the furniture will occupy.
Finding a Comfortable Viewing Height
The centre of the television should be close to eye level when you are sitting in your usual position. This helps create a more comfortable viewing angle and reduces the need to look noticeably up or down.
The correct TV stand height will depend on the height of your sofa, the size of your television and the location of its feet or base. Sit where you normally watch TV and measure your approximate seated eye level. You can then compare this with the proposed height of the stand and screen.
Low TV units suit many modern living rooms and can help the space feel more open. A taller TV cabinet may be useful if your seating position is higher or if you need more storage underneath the screen.
TV Stands with Storage
A TV stand with storage can help prevent consoles, games, controllers and spare cables from taking over the living room. The best layout depends on what you want to keep visible and what you would rather hide.
Drawers are useful for smaller accessories such as remote controls, batteries and charging cables. Cupboards can hold larger items, while open shelves keep consoles and media players accessible.
Before placing electronic equipment inside a cabinet, check that there is enough room around it for ventilation. Devices that create heat should not be packed into a tightly enclosed space. It is also worth measuring your equipment to make sure it will fit through the opening, not just inside the compartment.
Cable Management and Media Equipment
Even a carefully styled TV area can look untidy when cables are left hanging behind the unit. A TV stand with cable-management openings makes it easier to route wires towards nearby sockets and keep them out of sight.
Think about everything that will connect to the television, including consoles, speakers, streaming devices and internet equipment. Check where the connection ports are located and leave enough room to plug and unplug cables without moving the entire cabinet.
If the stand has a solid back, make sure it includes suitable openings for wires and airflow. Small labels or reusable cable ties can also make future changes much easier.
Low TV Stands
Low TV stands have a clean, streamlined appearance that works well in contemporary living rooms. Their horizontal shape can make the room feel wider and gives a large television a stable visual base.
They are particularly suitable for lower sofas and rooms where you want to keep the wall above the television feeling open. Many low units still include drawers, cupboards or shelving, so you do not necessarily have to sacrifice storage.
Corner TV Stands
A corner TV stand can help you use an awkward part of the room and may provide a better viewing angle when the main walls are occupied by windows, doors or other furniture.
Measure both walls leading into the corner as well as the depth of the unit. You should also check whether the television will extend beyond the cabinet once it is positioned. Leaving space behind the unit will make it easier to reach sockets and arrange cables.
Choosing a TV Stand Style
Because a TV unit is often one of the larger pieces of furniture in a living room, its finish can have a strong effect on the overall look.
Wooden TV Stands
Wooden and wood-effect TV stands bring warmth to a living room and work with a wide range of interiors. Lighter tones can help a smaller space feel airy, while darker finishes create a stronger, more traditional appearance.
Natural variations in grain and colour can give wooden furniture its character. Always follow the individual care instructions and avoid placing hot items or wet glasses directly on the surface.
Modern TV Units
Modern TV stands tend to feature simple shapes, smooth fronts and minimal detailing. Neutral colours are easy to combine with existing furniture, while contrasting materials can make the unit more of a focal point.
Gloss, glass and metal details can create a sharper contemporary finish. Matt surfaces often have a softer appearance and may show fingerprints less readily.
Industrial TV Stands
Industrial-style TV stands often combine darker metal frames with wood-effect surfaces. The contrast adds definition and works particularly well with neutral walls, exposed textures and simple seating.
Open shelving is common in this style, making it easy to reach equipment. If you prefer to keep clutter hidden, look for a design that combines open compartments with drawers or cupboards.
TV Stands with LED Lighting
A TV stand with integrated LED lighting can add a softer glow around the media area. This can create a relaxed atmosphere in the evening and highlight open shelves or display sections.
Check how the lights are powered and controlled, and make sure you have a suitable socket nearby. Integrated lighting should be treated as an accent rather than the room’s main light source.
Styling the Area Around Your Television
Keep the top of the unit fairly simple so that decorations do not compete with the screen. A small plant, lamp or framed photograph may be enough to make the area feel finished.
If your television is wall-mounted above the stand, position the two so they feel visually connected. Leaving too much empty space between them can make the arrangement appear disjointed.
Shelves, artwork or cabinets can be added around the television, but the display does not need to be perfectly symmetrical. A relaxed arrangement often feels more natural in an everyday living room.

TV Stand FAQs
Should a TV stand be wider than the television?
In most cases, yes. A stand that is wider than the screen usually looks more balanced and provides a safer-looking base. Check the television’s complete width and the unit’s weight limit before buying.
How high should a TV stand be?
Choose a height that places the middle of the screen close to your seated eye level. The ideal measurement depends on your sofa, television size and viewing distance.
What can I store in a TV unit?
TV units can hold consoles, streaming devices, controllers, games, remote controls and spare cables. Make sure electronic equipment has enough ventilation and fits comfortably inside the available compartments.
Are low TV stands suitable for large televisions?
They can be, provided the unit is wide and strong enough for the television. Always compare the TV’s dimensions and weight with the product specifications.
How do I hide cables behind a TV stand?
Choose a unit with cable openings and use reusable ties to group wires together. Positioning the stand near suitable sockets can also reduce the amount of visible cable.
