How to Choose the Best Size for Your TV Console: 3 Tips for Perfect Fit

Your TV console is an essential part of your living room, as it frames your TV, provides storage for your media equipment, and ties the room together. However, choosing the right size for your TV console can be challenging. To help you get started, here are three tips on how to choose the best size for your TV console:

What's the height of your TV Console?

The height of your TV console is an important factor to consider. Different screen sizes require different placement heights, so ensure that your TV is at eye level by measuring to the centre of the TV you've chosen. If your TV is mounted on the wall, consider getting a lower console to maximize the sense of vertical space in your home.

Besides TV placement, the amount of storage within your console will also affect the overall surface height. As The Table Guy's console is customisable, you can custom order the height of your TV console to give you the storage space you need.

How long should your TV Console be?

The length of your TV console is just as important as the height. Leaving about 8-10cm on either side of your TV provides a nice visual proportion. However, you may want to give yourself more space to display things like speakers and game consoles. For example, the width of a 65" TV is 144cm, so you'll need something around 200cm long if you're planning to display things like speakers, pictures, plants and other ornaments without blocking the screen. 

Do you really need a deep TV Console?

The depth of your TV console is crucial to achieve the right balance of aesthetics and practical use. Consider not only your storage and display needs but also the amount of walking room you want to preserve. For example, the Playstation 5 has a depth of just 26cm, so you can put it on display without compromising on walking space.
