Today, I will share with you why traditional TV cabinets are no longer popular? And young people's TV cabinet design methods that are both beautiful, practical and advanced, for your reference.
1. Why are traditional TV cabinets no longer popular?

Takes up too much space, not practical

Modern home design pays more and more attention to simplicity, practicality and beauty. However, the traditional TV cabinet seems too complicated and heavy, which is obviously a bit "contrary" to the modern home design concept.
Moreover, this bulky design not only takes up a lot of space, but may also be inconsistent with the overall home decoration style.
In addition, the manufacturing process of traditional TV cabinets is usually rough, the structural stability is poor, and they are prone to shaking or tipping over, posing a potential threat to our family safety.

The style is relatively simple and the selection is limited

Traditional TV cabinets were once widely used. They are about 60cm high and are usually equipped with drawers and storage cabinets, with certain storage functions.
However, as time went on, this design was gradually eliminated by the market due to its single style and limited functions. People had better choices and naturally lost interest in this single, boring style.

Quality is difficult to guarantee, not environmentally friendly

Traditional TV cabinets are mostly made of wood, and density boards are often used as the main material.
Although the price of density board is relatively high, because it is not real solid wood, but made of glue, there are certain problems with its quality and safety.
In addition, the density board will continue to release formaldehyde during use, which is very environmentally unfriendly and may have adverse effects on our health.

Make a full wall TV cabinet

The wall-to-wall TV cabinet has a very strong storage capacity, making it an ideal choice for home decoration.
Its design concept is to design the entire wall into a cabinet. Compared with the traditional floor-standing TV cabinet, its storage space is greatly increased and can accommodate various items. It is especially suitable for families with children, which can avoid the mess of items being placed randomly and the mess at home.

It should be noted that when we choose to build a full-wall TV cabinet, we must pay attention to the size of the living room space. It is recommended to build a full-wall TV cabinet in a living room with a width greater than 3.5m and a TV wall length greater than 3m.
If the living room space is too small, installing a TV cabinet that covers the entire wall may cause a visual sense of oppression.

It is more practical to make the depth of the wall-to-wall TV cabinet about 50cm, which can almost meet the storage needs of most household items.
When we customize partitions, we recommend designing the height of the partitions according to the size of the items in the home to ensure that large items such as skateboards and suitcases have suitable storage locations.

Although the full wall cabinet design requires more thought in the early stage, it will be more convenient to use in the later stage.
We can choose hidden cabinet door handles, such as making a special design on the cabinet door design, or choose push-type cabinet door handles, so that the overall aesthetics of the wall-to-wall TV cabinet will be better and more convenient.

Make an embedded TV wall

In recent years, the popularity of minimalist style has led to great innovation in TV cabinet design, and embedded TV walls are becoming more and more popular. There are roughly two design methods:
a. Make an embedded TV wall
Before "embedding" the TV into the wall, we need to thicken the wall. It is recommended that the wall be thickened by at least 15cm to install the telescopic bracket.
If our home decoration style is minimalist, the wall is usually not decorated in a complicated way, but we can consider adding a fireplace design at the bottom, which can add a lot of atmosphere and not be too monotonous.

In addition, we can also design a TV cabinet or platform to meet our basic storage needs.
We can also consider ultra-thin laser TVs, which can appear embedded even when hung directly on the wall. It can also use a very thin curved base to create a suspended visual effect.
b. Make an embedded TV half wall

Another design method is to build a half wall and use it as a partition between the living room and the dining room or between the living room and the bedroom, which can separate the space while maintaining visual continuity.
We can reserve a groove above the half wall to hide the wires, so that the decoration effect will be more beautiful and neat.
One of the main advantages of the half-wall design is that it can be installed with a 360° rotating TV mount, which can provide us with a multi-angle viewing experience.

In addition, we can also use a rotating TV cabinet to integrate partition, storage and viewing functions. This design not only combines beauty and practicality, but also enhances the flexibility and modernity of the space.
It should be noted that this design is not suitable for homes with low ceilings.

Make a straight-line floor-standing TV cabinet

The one-line floor-standing TV cabinet has simple lines and a modern appearance. It can be easily integrated into various home styles. Whether it is modern simplicity, Nordic style or Chinese style, you can find a one-line floor cabinet TV cabinet that perfectly matches it, which is very versatile.
Moreover, this TV cabinet provides us with a variety of material and color options. We can choose wood, glass, metal and other materials to make our TV cabinet according to our preferences. It can meet the needs of different families and has a wide range of applicability.

In addition, the one-line floor-standing TV cabinet is also very practical - its spacious storage space can effectively accommodate various sundries, such as remote controls and DVDs, etc., which can keep the living room tidy and tidy.
We can also cleverly and reasonably divide the storage area according to the size and weight of the stored items, which is not only beautiful but also easy to access.
For TV cabinets, we can choose environmentally friendly and durable materials to ensure the high quality of the TV cabinets and provide safer protection for our home environment.

Make a straight-line suspended TV cabinet

The one-line suspended TV cabinet is a very unique home design. It suspends the bottom of the cabinet about 15 to 20 cm from the ground, showing a light visual effect of the cabinet.
This design makes the cabinet seem to be suspended in the air, bringing an otherworldly beauty to our living room space.

Because its bottom is suspended, the living room space will appear more transparent, and floor cleaning becomes very simple - we don't need to move the cabinet, just sweep it to keep the floor clean and tidy.
The design of the I-shaped suspended TV cabinet is simple but not simplistic. It only uses a small amount of wood to support the entire cabinet, reflecting the refinement and simplicity of modern home furnishings.

However, it should be noted that this design has relatively less storage space and is more suitable for families with fewer items.
If you pay attention to the appearance and aesthetics of your interior, a cantilevered low cabinet is undoubtedly an elegant choice worth trying.

In short, abandoning the traditional TV cabinet, we can use clever design to make the TV a highlight of the living room space rather than a burden.
It can be seen that exquisite design can not only improve the overall quality of the space, but also make the space look more spacious and tidy.
