large TV stand

7 years ago

We are just finishing our basement and my husband bought a 75” TV for the area (wall mounted). What type of tv stand do you think I should get? Should it be same length or longer than TV?

I have a 55" TV on a 14 foot wall at the end of my living room. Best thing I did was to put two six-foot TV stands butted together on that wall. It fills up the wall, provides extra storage, and allows the wall to be decorated as a whole around the TV. Can't see enough of your space to see if that would work for you, but it avoids that "what do I do with the rest of the wall" dilemma that can occur.

A bit longer generally looks best.

Longer than the TV- black would be nice so it will all blend together and look like one unit.

TV stand should be 25-50% longer than the TV. The TV should rest a few inches above the stand when mounted, yours is a little high but if you don't feel like lowering it just get a slightly taller stand.

Do you want a stand or a cabinet? I agree with the above comments regarding length. Where are you putting your speakers?

Here's another idea for a full-wall cabinet under the TV:

These are made from natural oak base kitchen cabinets. mount the tv where the cow is.

Options depending on how much you want to spend and what finish you would like for the room.

IMO the TV is hung too high so make sure when looking for a cabinet it is lower and at least 25% wider than the TV. I love Besta from Ikea for this situation

look at these tv panels floor to ceiling stands I'd built. maybe it will help you on your decision of how big the stand should be.
