The functions of this product include not only the creation of a separate TV zone, along with additional storage systems for both personal belongings and various gadgets, be it a stereo system, speakers, a DVD player or a game console, but also an addition to the interior with a new and ergonomic product.

Special features

Creating a separate TV zone is not only a design whim, but also an ergonomic way, the most functional and practical use of space on the sides and around the TV. Indeed, in most cases it remains unused. It can be converted into a storage for books, electronics, personal belongings through the installation of the wall, thanks to the ability to install an unlimited number of various shelves, shelves and pedestals. Of course, within the free space.

The owner of the living space after the acquisition of the wall for the TV will be able to appreciate several benefits from its use:

  • Spaciousness. Storage systems that are different in purpose allow you to organize zones to accommodate not only equipment and personal belongings, but also various decorative elements.
  • Ergonomic. Products allow rational use of space at a high level.
  • Conciseness. The walls easily fit into a large number of modern interiors, and sometimes the design allows you to use them in a classic decor.
  • Creating accents. The wall design makes the TV screen a central focus.
  • Purpose Due to the fact that the walls are mainly made for audio and video equipment, they have special niches for electronics and holes for wires, which not only increases the level of operational safety, but also makes the interior more accurate.

Kinds

Basically, furniture walls differ from each other in product design. Thus, they can be divided into several species, each of which has its own advantages:

  • Wall-hill. Slides minimally load the interior. Basically, they consist of a small number of decorative shelves and are designed exclusively for the installation of the TV. Their main feature is the arrangement of elements in the form of a ladder. Often they are modular furniture, since the variation of the location of elements may be different.
  • Corner. Due to the peculiarities of the interior, or simply if the owner wishes, to convert the corner space into a usable area, the best solution would be to purchase the corner products. In their configuration, they may contain different elements, but the most important difference between them is the variation of the location of the TV.In the corner walls, it is possible to arrange a niche or shelf for the device, either in one of the wall sections or in the center.
  • Wall-curbstone. The most minimalistic option. They are a long construction that can be a TV stand, or it can simply serve as an additional storage system when the TV is hung up with wall brackets. The cabinet can also be supplemented with several hanging shelves or cabinets.
  • Wall cabinet. This type of TV wall is more massive, but also more functional. It is a full folding wardrobe or a wardrobe with numerous storage areas and a niche or recess for the TV.
  • Modular. The advantages of modular furniture can be enumerated endlessly, but the most important of them are functionality, versatility, unique design and the possibility to choose different elements of the structure depending on the owner’s desire. It is the modular furniture in its design that can contain not only standard storage systems, but also be equipped with a computer desk, workplace and other elements that may be useful to the user.

Despite the fact that there are only five main types of modular walls, this does not limit the choice of customers in furniture stores. Each of the types of walls can be represented in unimaginable designs both in terms of design and in terms of functionality, so the product range is represented by all sorts of products that differ in size, style and cost.

Dimensions

When choosing any interior item, first of all it is necessary to consider the dimensions and geometry of the space in which the installation is planned.

The size of the product affects a large number of factors and determines how comfortable the room will be and whether it will fit into the decor.

Before going on trips to furniture stores in search of the desired model, you must first make measurements of the area where you plan to place the wall. It is also important to take into account the location of sockets, window and door openings, batteries, as well as a headset of upholstered furniture, because the TV zone will be visible from this point.

After that, the diagonal and dimensions of the TV are measured, and the fact whether it will hang on the wall or stand on a pedestal is taken into account.If this is a TV of the old generation, then narrow shelves will not work for it, you will need to take care of purchasing a stand for a large device, while for a plasma TV there will be enough product, the depth of which does not exceed 30 cm.

If the owner has not yet purchased the equipment, then in the future he will already need to adjust the size of the TV for the purchased product, taking into account the depth, width and height of the niche reserved for the TV.

Materials

The material from which the product is made affects not only the quality, but also the design and price characteristics. Therefore, when buying a wall, it is also important to devote enough time to this aspect in order to become the owner of such a TV zone that will respond to functional and material needs.

The main construction of the wall is often made of three types of materials:

  • Natural wood;
  • Chipboard / chipboard;
  • MDF.

We characterize each of the materials:

  • Products made of natural wood are recognized as the highest quality and practical, but they have one drawback that is significant for some customers - cost. But at the same time, natural wood materials serve as a guarantee of high operational life, presentable appearance and reliability of the structure.
  • The most common type of material is chipboard, it mainly serves for the manufacture of hidden structural elements, such as back walls, drawer bottoms, etc., while laminated chipboard is already used for the front parts of the hull. In general, it is a material with low cost, but it also has disadvantages - low level of moisture resistance and environmental friendliness.
  • MDF cost something between LDSP and natural wood. The quality of the characteristics of this material is quite high, with a big plus MDF - a variety of style performances.
  • The material for the manufacture of furniture products is quite diverse - steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, etc. As for the facade, it can be decorated with glass or mirror surfaces, plastic, wood, rattan or bamboo panels or painted MDF with a glossy variation or matte finish.
  • In addition to the basic materials, for the construction of the wall, you can also find plasterboard products, only they can hardly be purchased in the furniture salon, but it is quite easy to make your own hands with little effort, guided by a competent project.

Colors

Due to the fact that manufacturers supply furniture stores with a large number of products, the range of color solutions for TV walls is always wide. It remains only to determine the desired color and texture, and make it quite simple.

Some recommendations should be considered:

  • It is not advisable to use in the design of the relax zone more than three shades;
  • It is necessary to select the design of the facade in color and texture, taking into account the rest of the furniture set;
  • If you wish to focus on the product, choose a color range that resonates with the finish (walls, floor and ceiling);
  • If the room is small, it is advisable to choose a wall in the color of the walls;
  • If the walls are painted white, then the furniture is better to choose calm colors, as close as possible to the center of the color wheel.
  • Textile design and decor elements, their texture and colors are taken into account.

Styles

It is not a secret for anyone that the style execution of the product is selected taking into account the interior design and the taste preferences of the owner. So, you can divide the wall models into two large groups, and each of which has its own characteristics:

  • Classic.Models for classic interiors are more difficult to find in furniture stores than for modern ones. They are distinguished by their execution in the form of designs with smooth forms and strict colors, numerous decorative elements, made most often from wood or its imitation, which is why the products of the “classic” category are often not budget.
  • Modern. These models due to the lack of numerous decoration and due to the brevity and ease of execution are much cheaper. This is influenced by the fact that in most cases artificial materials are used to make them.

Additional elements

The wall for the TV-zone in its configuration can be equipped with elements that are placed in high-grade wardrobes for clothes and storage of personal belongings. It can be:

  • Shelves of various sizes, both closed and open, fixed or mounted;
  • Racks for storing dishes or books;
  • Built-in bar;
  • Home cinema area;
  • Drawers;
  • Bedside tables;
  • Dressers;
  • Racks, etc.

For different rooms

Despite the fact that the main purpose of the wall is to form a TV zone,its characteristics and equipment may vary significantly depending on the purpose of the room where it is going to be installed.

In the living room

Most often, the walls are placed in the living room, since almost no room with a relaxation area can do without a TV. When choosing a wall for the living room, it is important to be guided by such aspects as taking into account the design of the room, the taste preferences of the owner and his needs.

If the first two aspects are simple, then the third is even simpler - the needs of the owner depend on such individual factors as hobbies, hobbies, etc. That is, if the future user is a book lover, then it is quite logical for him to purchase a product with a shelf or a bookcase. For travelers and lovers of souvenirs are perfect models with open mezzanine or canopy.

In the living room it is also important to create the most relaxing environment, so the addition of the interior with an aquarium or fireplace will be an original solution to this problem, and it is TV walls that can help with the installation of these interior items.

To the bedroom

A sleeping area with a TV today is no longer a rarity, this is especially true in small apartments or studios, as well as in modern interiors. When choosing a wall in the bedroom should be guided by the same recommendations as when buying a wall for the living room.

It is important to take into account the functionality of the product, for example, turning the wall into a full-fledged closet for storing items of clothing, bed linen and other personal items. It is in the bedroom that this will be the most practical solution, since the installation of a separate cabinet and a separate wall, firstly, is not entirely rational, and secondly, it is not always possible and appropriate.

It is important that the TV device does not interfere with healthy sleep and good rest, so you should take care of purchasing such a wall where you can hide a niche for the TV behind the cabinet doors or not place the wall close to the sleeping area.

In the children's room

TV in the children's room, albeit a rare, but quite possible phenomenon. It allows children to view entertainment or educational programs and takes their free time. But it is important to bear in mind that the design of the TV-zone should be as safe as possible for the child, especially if we are talking about children under 7 years old.

The TV-wall can cope with this issue, since it ensures the complete inaccessibility of electrical appliances and wires for playful children's hands. In addition, this is a completely functional solution, since the wall can be supplemented with storage systems and a module with a working area.

How to choose?

When choosing, it is important to take into account the needs of future owners in certain storage systems, select the design of the product under the overall color and interior concept, not forgetting about their financial capabilities.

It is also important to take into account the TV model, which in principle is one of the most important factors affecting the safety of the structure.

Now among electronics there is a large number of new products, different in their characteristics, power and screen diagonal. But it is still possible to meet the models of the past generation, which are quite large in size. Therefore, if the owners of LCD and plasma panels can experiment and place the device either on a shelf or stand or hang it on the wall with a bracket, then those who have more dimensional samples of equipment can only place them on the stand.This is important to consider.

After the purchase of the finished product or design to order one of the most important stages - the assembly. The need for the assistance of installers is required only if the wall device is difficult enough in its design, but in most cases these products can be easily assembled by themselves using the instructions that must be included in the product package. After assembly, you can begin to decorate and install the TV.

On how to independently assemble the wall under the TV, see the following video.

How to hang a tv?

Hanging TV, framed in a circle storage systems, has several advantages in terms of functionality and design in front of devices that are located on the pedestals or shelves. The TV becomes inaccessible for children and animals, it has a more comfortable height for viewing and fits in the interior concisely.

In general, hanging the TV on the wall is easy enough the main thing - to choose the right suspension and follow some recommendations of experts. After acquiring the brackets, it is necessary to determine the most safe and comfortable height of installation, but here it is important to take into account the peculiarities of wall construction.

In order for the TV not to look alien, it is better to place it within the center point of the niche set aside for it.

The safest height is considered no more than 70 cm from the floor, while it must be calculated from the bottom edge of the TV. But it all depends on the individual preferences and characteristics of the zone from which to view. For example, the farther a soft headset is located, the higher the TV is hung, and vice versa.

It is also recommended to take into account the angle of the screen, so the most optimal will be the purchase of a bracket with adjustable angle and height. They cost a little more than static products, but at the same time give their owners a number of advantages in use, which also include free access to the back of the TV.

It is not recommended to place a wall with a TV area opposite the window opening, this can create unwanted glare and reflections on the TV screen when viewed, especially if it is the sunny side of the building.

Decor

When decorating and choosing the design of the product, it is important to maintain a sense of proportion and comply with the color scheme. Although the main task of the wall is to focus on the television area,the choice of bright colors, rather, will serve a disservice, because the included TV and so gives the strain on the eyes, and together with bright furniture and does lead to the fact that the user will quickly tire.

The main methods of decorative design of the facade include:

  • Photo printing;
  • Wood or 3D panels;
  • Lamination;
  • Instructing glass, stone;
  • Installing sandblasted mirror surfaces, etc.

Making a wall for your own TV is quite simple. After all, the decoration elements include not only the front parts of the structure, but also the use of additional elements, which can be figurines, vases, photographs and paintings, souvenirs, soft toys. The more large-scale decorative elements include bookshelves, fireplaces, lights. All this together helps to create a truly comfortable relaxation zone.

In order not to overload the interior and the TV zone, it is necessary to have a sense of proportion and good taste. This can help create a plan or a drawing with an indication of where and what will be located taking into account the size of the modules, their color solutions and other factors. .

Options in the interior

The following are the most practical ways to use the wall in a room design:

  • Wall for the living room of the original round shape.
  • Compact modular mini-wall for small spaces.
