How high is the TV cabinet in the living room? If you don't know the size, the switch will be blocked.

The TV wall is a key part of home decoration. In addition to the TV cabinet, the TV, set-top box, router and other equipment need to be arranged on the TV wall. Therefore, more sockets should be left on the TV wall. If you want the TV wall design to be more beautiful, you need to balance the size of the TV cabinet and the position of the sockets. I believe you have seen cases where the sockets on the TV wall are blocked by the TV cabinet. This is because the height between the sockets and the TV cabinet is not considered well.
Next, I will talk about the height of the TV cabinet and the corresponding precautions!

1. The height of the finished TV cabinet

The height of a finished TV cabinet is generally between 40-60cm. Different designs will have different sizes, and some merchants may also support customized heights.
▲The height of the TV cabinet is 40-60cm.

Because the height is uncertain, friends who are planning to buy a ready-made TV cabinet are advised to check the TV cabinet first when decorating. If you cannot check the TV cabinet in advance, leave the socket slightly higher to avoid difficulty in choosing the TV cabinet later. For example, leaving the socket behind the TV so that the socket is blocked by the TV (the gap between the TV and the wall is generally enough for the socket), which is also a good design.
▲When choosing a TV cabinet, you should consider the location of the TV and the sockets.

2. Customize the height of the TV cabinet

In addition to ready-made TV cabinets, TV cabinets can also be customized, such as suspended TV cabinets, platform TV cabinets, fireplace shapes, custom cabinet TV walls, etc., which are all relatively unique and advanced TV wall designs.

① Suspended TV cabinet
The height of a suspended TV cabinet is usually within 60cm of the table height. Because it is installed in the air, the height of this type of TV cabinet is generally preset in the early stage of decoration; at the same time, the position of the TV and switches and sockets must also be preset.

② Floor TV cabinet
The platform TV cabinet is made directly on the ground with stone or wood. Its height is generally controlled at around 30cm. If it is too high, it will lose the light design sense of the platform.

③Customized cabinet TV wall
Customized cabinet TV wall is a popular practice nowadays. The design of this kind of TV cabinet is to install storage cabinets on the entire TV wall, and then leave space for the corresponding TV installation. Such a design also needs to be preset in the early stage of decoration.

3. How to place the TV

Now the TV can be placed on the TV cabinet or on the wall. The placement of the TV is also a question to consider when choosing a TV cabinet. The TV is placed directly on the TV cabinet, so the socket can be left behind the TV or at the back of the TV cabinet, but the height should not be the same as the TV cabinet countertop.

If the TV is wall-mounted, you don't need to consider the height of the TV cabinet, but socket reservation is a detail that needs to be considered. It is usually recommended to leave it behind the TV (upper position), or behind the TV cabinet, and pre-bury a PVC wire conduit between the TV cabinet and the TV to prevent the TV power cord from being exposed.

4. Cancel the TV cabinet

The TV cabinet was originally used to place TVs. As TVs become lighter and lighter, many people now wall-mount their TVs, and the TV cabinet has become a decoration. Therefore, in some small-sized families or those seeking spacious spaces, they will consider removing this furniture, wall-mounting the TV, and leaving the socket behind the TV, which is simple, beautiful and generous.
▲Cancel the TV cabinet.

You can also use a projection screen instead of the TV, which will make the TV wall more simple and elegant.

▲The projection screen replaces the TV.

Generally speaking, the height of a finished TV cabinet is between 40-60cm, while the size of some custom-made TV cabinets can be made according to actual needs. In addition, the height of the TV cabinet should also take into account the placement of the TV and the location of the sockets to avoid conflicts between the height of the selected TV cabinet and the overall design.
