Why choose a wooden and ceramic TV stand?

The choice of materials plays a key role in the aesthetics and durability of a TV stand.

Wood helps to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It blends easily with various interior styles: contemporary, modern, natural, industrial or even more classic.

Marble-effect ceramic, meanwhile, adds an extra decorative dimension. Its mineral-like appearance contrasts elegantly with the wood, creating a piece that naturally catches the eye.

This combination is particularly appealing to those who wish to avoid a TV stand that is too basic. The unit then becomes a genuine decorative feature in the living room.

The TV Stand category at Habitat et Jardin offers a range of options: wooden units, wall-mounted models, units with storage, contemporary or industrial styles, and various sizes.

160 cm TV stand: what size should you choose?

The width of the TV stand should be chosen based on the size of the screen, but also on the layout of the living room. A 160 cm-long TV stand offers a good balance between space requirements and visual impact.

Before choosing your TV stand, remember to measure:

  • the available width against the wall;
  • the width of your television;
  • the available depth;
  • the height of the sofa and your eye level;
  • the space required for connections;
  • the dimensions of your multimedia equipment. The Elma and Zora models both measure 160 × 45 × 45 cm, making them suitable for many living rooms. Their 45 cm depth also provides ample space for installing your TV and accessories.

How can you style your living room around a brown TV stand?

A brown TV stand can easily become the focal point of your living room décor.

To create a harmonious atmosphere, pair it with natural materials such as wood, linen, cotton or rattan. A light-coloured rug placed in front of the unit can also create an interesting contrast with its brown hue.

Marble-effect ceramic allows you to play with different materials. You can echo its shades in a few decorative accessories: vases, lamps, decorative objects or picture frames.

Beige
Ecru
Light grey
Terracotta
Camel
Cream

For a contemporary look, pair the unit with a beige, ecru or light grey sofa. For a cosier look, opt for terracotta, camel or cream shades.

The aim is to avoid using too many different materials and colours. The TV stand should blend in with the décor rather than creating a visual disruption.

How should you position your TV stand?

Before positioning your TV stand, check that there are enough electrical sockets and connections for your various devices.

It’s also advisable to measure the available wall space accurately. A 160 cm unit needs sufficient space around it to allow for comfortable movement.

The television should be positioned at a height that allows for comfortable viewing from the sofa. Also, bear in mind the need to minimise glare from windows or light fittings.

Finally, allow enough space at the back or near the unit to organise the cables.

How do you look after a wooden and ceramic TV stand?

Regular maintenance helps to preserve the unit’s appearance.

Wood

Use a soft cloth and avoid abrasive products that could damage the finish.

Ceramic

Clean the top regularly with a suitable cloth and a mild cleaning product. If in doubt, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Dusting once a week also helps to minimise the build-up of dust on the worktop, doors and other parts of the furniture.

Which TV stand should you buy for a modern living room?

The choice depends mainly on three criteria: dimensions, style and storage requirements. For a contemporary living room, a brown TV stand with a marble-effect ceramic top combines several current trends: a blend of wood and mineral materials, clean lines and built-in storage.

The Elma and Zora models are particularly well-suited to those looking for a 160 cm TV stand with a distinctive decorative finish.
