Pros and Cons of a Corner TV Stand
Top 3 Fireplace TV Stand Picks
If you’re deciding where to place the TV in your living room, you have a number of options. You can position a long TV stand cabinet against a flat wall, forgo a TV stand by mounting your TV on the wall, or opt for a corner TV stand. A corner TV stand is an excellent option to incorporate style and storage, maximize space, and hide cords. For smaller living rooms, it is convenient to tuck it snugly in the corner to allow for more space for other furniture or open space to move around. If you are trying to create a cozy living room, some corner TV stands even come with built-in electric fireplaces.
In this article, we’ll discuss what to look for in a corner TV stand, the pros and cons of choosing one, and give you our top three favorite corner TV stand cabinets and the top three that incorporate electric fireplaces from Liddiard Home Furnishings. We’ll also answer some of the most frequently asked questions our customers have had for us while deciding on their TV stand.
What to Look for in a Corner TV Stand
When you’re shopping for a corner TV stand, there are a few crucial things to keep in mind. Let’s look at the top considerations:
☑ Style and Finish: Every furniture piece adds to your overall living room design. Here you want to keep in mind the lines or shape and the color or finish of the piece. Sleek and simple lines are perfect for a modern living room design, while matte black or glossy navy would work well in a chic, luxurious design. Distressed white wood is perfect for a coastal or farmhouse living room.
☑ Size: Your TV corner stand needs to fit in your chosen corner and fit your TV properly. Make sure to measure the corner you have in mind and take into account any windows, molding, doorways, or other obstacles that would stop your TV stand from fitting snugly in the corner. Additionally, measure the length of your TV stand and the length of your TV to make sure your TV will fit well. For a proportional and balanced look, you’ll likely want your TV stand to be at least two inches longer on each side than your TV itself.
☑ Height: You should also measure the height of your corner TV stand and TV combined compared to the height of your sofa. Ideally, you should be at eye level with the center of your TV screen when you’re seated on your sofa or loveseat.
☑ Storage: One of the major benefits of a TV stand versus a wall mount TV is the added storage that the TV stand cabinet itself gives you. It allows you to hide wires and store any devices, video game consoles, or other items away from view.

Shop NowPros and Cons of a Corner TV Stand
A corner TV stand has several pros and cons compared to a wall mount TV. Let’s look at them more in depth.
Pros
✅ Storage: As mentioned above, added storage is one of the biggest pros of a corner TV stand. A wall mount TV prevents you from hiding wires, storing gaming consoles, or gaining extra storage in your living room. Not many living room furniture pieces offer built-in storage, such as sofas or even coffee tables, so this is a great opportunity to add more storage to your space.
✅ Space-Saving: A corner TV stand fits neatly into a corner, so it can be a great option for smaller living rooms. You can save on space and add extra storage with a corner TV stand.
✅ Style: A corner TV stand is another opportunity to add your personality and favorite style to your living room. So many TV stand styles are available that you can find one perfectly suited to your style. Whether you want a midcentury modern wood corner TV stand or a distressed white corner TV stand for a cozier look, there are excellent options available.
✅ Easy Installation and No Holes: With a corner stand TV, you can easily install the cabinet and rearrange as needed. If you decide to move the TV stand, there won’t be any drilled holes into the wall or altered cosmetic or structural changes to your space.
Cons
✖ Falling Hazard: While a wall mount TV is securely mounted at a taller height. A corner stand TV is more of a potential tipping or falling hazard, especially if you have children or pets that play too close to the TV.
✖ Cannot Customize Height: You need to thoroughly measure your corner TV stand and TV before purchasing. While you can adjust the height of a wall mount TV, a corner TV stand has only one height option.
✖ Not as Minimalistic: You can’t beat the clean and simple look of a wall mount TV if a minimalist look is what you’re going for.

What are my other options for a TV stand?

Does a corner TV stand save space?
Yes, a corner TV stand saves more space than a wide or bulkier cabinet not designed to fit in a corner. However, a wall mount TV takes up no floor space.
What size TV will fit on a corner TV stand?
