What color tv stand would look best?

last year

What color tv stand would look best? gray walls, gray floor, gray couch… This is an old tv stand that I am planning on getting rid of. I was thinking like a creamy warm white with a light wood top. I'm trying to brighten up the space…

looks like a lot of gray...

a better photo of the space... back up, get the whole room in the shot.

is that the best place for the TV?

why don't you mount it on the wall?

something much longer, for sure... what else will you use the stand for?

I agree with Lyn

Your description of the creamy white would be nice but I agree it needs to be much longer

Which TV stand would you pick

spring-meadow - yeah, it's weird. The scale in that picture is way off. That's a 9x11 rug and the curtains are 108", but it looks more like a 5x7 with regular 84"ers. I don't know why it photographed tiny. How come my hips never photograph tiny?!? May I ask where you got the corner TV stand? I'm so glad you posted the pic it helps me visualize better. vcheethi - We got the stand at a store called Nebraska Furniture Mart. They also sell online: NFM.com. It's a cheapy -- that TV was in a home theater room in our last house, and was surrounded by a large entertainment center. I wanted something that would "disppear" and keep the wall from showing between the side piers. The stand is actually open with glass shelves, like this... ...I made a black "curtain" the same height as the stand opening and mounted it on a tension rod flush against the opening. The curtain hides the ugly inside, but doesn't block the remote controls. The neat thing about the stand is that it has a recess on the top, with a lip. The TV goes down into the recess, then slides in under the lip, so it essentially "locks" the TV to the stand. Very very secure!

How to size tv console- what looks best?
Q

I have a 66" console for a 60" tv. I'd prefer something a little wider b/c the speakers are mounted on the wall too. But we already owned this console so its staying for now. Plus we needed the floor space for extra seating and have chairs flanking the tv ( a popular theme!) I love the look of long low consoles . I willed ably replace this one soon with something in the 72-80" range. If you want to display items, I'd go for the 80" but a lower height. Where are your speakers going to go? your width is fine. The height is a little on the high, making your viewing angle less than ideal.

Thanks. As a designer, I think of the entire room, so glad you are looking at that. The right balance of colors and contrast is important in a space, in my opinion. I appreciate you sharing your future plans for the console, as that fits into the larger decision. What I am seeing now is that the fireplace color is not relating to anything. Pardon me if you mentioned, but why is it painted that color? What I recommend always is to post a photo of what you want the room to look like. You have described it somewhat, but a photo is best. You: "I would've loved an all white/light space but i have to work with the furniture i currently have." Without more information, I recommend painting the fireplace a rich taupe or deep brown to work with your art, rug and future plans. With the neutral art above it, it will command a larger presence. Also, you will be able to frame the art in a lighter color, as you want. Always work toward the future, instead of trying to match what you don't like in a space. If you are going to go with slipcovers, adding a darker tone to the fireplace will add a nice contrast .

Hopefully this is a better photo…

TV will be mounted to the wall, just want to get the media console figured out first. I’m planning on DIYing it and it will be 72 inches which is 12 inches longer than the current stand.

Gray curtains are just temporary.

This has been a complete renovation so it’s a lot disorganized right now, haha

Your entire space comes off more beige or brown than gray. The wood floors and the walls don't look gray because of the lighting. Using daylight bulbs usually look best with gray but it can come off cold. If you want to keep the bulbs you have and only focus on the tv stand, look for white or lighter shades of off-white/cream/ivory with hardware that has silver or chrome plating. Bringing in gray accents can also bring out the gray of the floors and wall-- if that's something you want in the first place.
