Modern TV wall in the living room

The key piece of furniture that makes up a media wall is the TV stand. It can take a variety of forms – a closed cabinet, a drawer unit, an open hanging shelf, or a shelf with space for a TV. This type of structure often combines various elements to accommodate as much storage as possible without overwhelming the décor. A small living room that also serves as a bedroom can benefit from an additional wardrobe, while a bookworm's apartment needs ample space for valuable volumes. So how can you design such a diverse interior while maintaining aesthetic cohesion? Below are some practical tips.

• A TV stand should showcase the TV, safely store electronics, a decoder, a router, and conceal cables.

It will fit perfectly into a modern décor inspired by the modern classic or soft loft style.
• A chest of drawers for small items – you can place it right next to the TV stand. When choosing the right model, carefully check the dimensions of the furniture. It's important that it complements the overall design of the media wall, so a set of furniture from the same collection is a convenient option.
