The Ideal Furniture Piece for Your TV

by Bradlows 10 December 2019

You've just moved in or you are redecorating your living room. You have your TV ready. Now you just need a place for it to call home. You have two options - a plasma stand or a wall unit. Before you go out and shop for either, it is important to understand all the strengths and weaknesses of the furniture in relation to your living room. Both of them have useful features. However, both of them differ from each other. Sometimes, it is much easier to select the TV than the stand.

So, let’s chat about the advantages and disadvantages of plasma stands and wall units to make the choice easier for you!

Pros and Cons of Plasma Stands

Because of its design, plasma stands may look bulky. This can be deceiving as they do not take up plenty of space at all. Look at the Juliet Plasma Unit below. It certainly looks bulky but is only 187cm long and 50cm wide. Plasma units, such as the Juliet Plasma Unit, offer storage spaces for all media such as movie DVD’s, games, books and other entertainment. Another good advantage of a plasma stand is its mobility. If you are thinking about rearranging your room or moving to another house, then this function will be helpful.

In terms of cons, plasma stands are not steady, so if your kids accidentally bump into it, your TV might not survive the fall.

Generally, homes or apartments with smaller rooms require a minimum quantity of furniture and to be more functional at the same time. The plasma stand is thus a smart choice for people with smaller rooms or anyone looking to create more space in their living rooms.

Pros and Cons of Wall Units

Wall units consist of several cabinets and shelves, which combine both a wardrobe and various items, as well as shelves for books and flowers, and a variety of items.

The biggest pro of a Wall unit is the sheer size. Wall units are very roomy and allow for storage in your living room. With a wall unit, everything is in one place and practical.  Wall units can also be a statement piece for any entertainment area. Just look at the Remus 4 Piece Wall Unit below! It features walnut finishes and hidden downlights. We love the classic look of this piece, and we're sure you will too! If you’re looking for a modern look, then the Sienna MK2 4 Piece Wall Unit offers  contemporary unit with ample storage space.

Although, there are disadvantages that exist as well. If you currently live in a small apartment, such wall units isn't a realistic option. Wall units offer a lot of storage space but can take a lot of space in the living room. Wall units are more expensive than plasma stands, but offer you more.

If you have a lot of space in your home, don’t live in an apartment, or are willing to sacrifice the extra space, then go for a wall unit.

Despite the differences between plasma stands and wall units, it is worth mentioning that both of them are useful. No matter which of them you are willing to buy, it is important to pay attention to its quality and design that will perfectly fit your home interior and dimension of the room.
