Some friends have small living rooms, and it always feels crowded when they put furniture in them, so they ask Jia Xiaohe:

“Is it okay if there is no TV cabinet in the living room? How else can it be designed?”

Of course you don't need a TV cabinet! Everyone's living habits and preferences are different. A TV cabinet is not a necessity. If the space at home is small and filled with all kinds of furniture, the room will appear more crowded and depressing. In the end, the TV cabinet will become a clutter collector, filled with all kinds of things. It looks messy and will not make you feel good.

To discuss the TV cabinet, let's first talk about what the TV cabinet is used for :

1. TV cabinets are cabinets after all, which can help us store some small items in life;

2. If you want to watch TV, you need to install optical modems, routers, set-top boxes and other equipment, which can be placed on the TV cabinet for easy use;

3. "Hide the ugliness", the TV cabinet can cover the various sockets on the TV wall so that they are not exposed in the field of vision.

4. Decorativeness: TV cabinets have rich and varied shapes and are inherently decorative, enhancing the appearance of the space.

Which families are suitable for not installing a TV cabinet?

1. Families who don’t like or are not used to using TV cabinets;

2. Families that do not have so much storage needs;

3. The apartment has a narrow living room;

4. Families that have no need to watch TV;

5. If there are children at home, they need to be given more space to move around.

How to design a TV wall without a TV cabinet?

1. TV directly on the wall

If you don't need a TV cabinet but need to install a TV in the living room, you can install the TV directly on the wall. The TV wall will have a more integrated look and can make the space more spacious.

If you choose a wall-mounted TV, you can choose to bury the pipes in advance when modifying the circuit. The wires connecting the TV can be well hidden and will be more beautiful.

2. Hide the TV in the background wall

Some friends choose to make a whole wall when designing the TV wall, such as using stone or wood. At this time, the TV can be directly embedded in the background wall shape, which can not only reduce the abruptness of the wall-mounted TV, but also make the overall look elegant and stylish.

You can also combine the background wall design with hanging storage cabinets, which will not take up too much space and can store things.

In addition to the hanging storage cabinet above, you can also directly "dig" a grid on the background wall for storage, which is interesting and unique.

3. Use partitions to store items

If you don't want a TV cabinet but still want a place to put things, practical and inexpensive partitions are a good choice.

When using partitions, you must pay attention to the load-bearing capacity of the partitions. Never place too heavy objects to avoid accidents.

4. Overall cabinet design

Most families have relatively large requirements for storage space, especially those with children or large families. A separate TV cabinet not only takes up space but also has very limited storage space. In this case, you can choose to combine an overall cabinet with the TV, which can reflect both practicality and functionality.

Families who don’t use a TV in the living room can simply turn the entire wall into a “small study”.

5. Projection Wall

If you don’t want a TV or a TV cabinet at home, you can turn the TV wall into a projection wall and use it with a projector.

That's all for today. Do you think the TV cabinet is useless? What do you have installed in your TV cabinet?
