Furniture and other items to be place under tv in bedroom are slightly different then the furniture items to be put under tv in a living room.
Below are ten items that look great when placed under tv in a bedroom.
1/10.
BOOKCASE
Bookcase is not merely a decor item but is very functional in a bedroom. Many prefer to read book just before bedtime. Having a book case in a different room would not be practical.
Thus placing it in the bedroom under the tv makes it easy to access all the books without having the need to get out of bedroom and it also helps to keep all book in an organized manner which adds to the look of bedroom.
Without a bookcase, the books are generally randomly placed here and there which certainly makes the bedroom look like a mess.
How much gap between bookcase and tv?
A gap of minimum 12″should be kept between the top of book case and bottom of the tv.
If the tv is placed at greater height on the wall then the there is no need to raise the bookcase to meet the required gap.
The gap can be larger than 12″ between tv and bookcase based on the placement of tv however, the gap should not be lesser than 12″ as the bookcase then can cause distraction while watching tv.
Can a bookcase be wider than tv?
Yes, a book case can definitely be wider than the tv.The ideal width of the bookcase should be same as that of tv. However, a bookcase wider than the tv looks equally appealing.
2/10
DRESSER
Compact Dressers can be a nice addition as a furniture to fill up the empty space below the tv in a bedroom. Dressers offer storage space and even if there is a closet already present in a bedroom, a small size dresser can definitely be put in bedroom.
Many people think that a closet and dresser cannont be placed together in a bedroom. However, careful placement of furniture around empty spaces in bedroom can help to coordinate closet and dressers.
One trick to make sure that dresser placed under tv coordinates with closet is to try place to closet perpendicular to eh dresser anywhere inside the bedroom.
The height of dresser placed under the tv should be around 30″ from the floor. Very bluky dressers should be avoided as they can easily look too much for the furniture that can go under the tv.
3/10
SET OF SPEAKERS
This item is very useful for music lovers like myself. A pair nice and good quality music speakers placed under the tv not only enhances the tv viewing experience but also provides that extra kick when listening to music in bedroom.
Having only a single speaker under the tv may look too small of a object that could cover the space under tv. Also in comparison to the size of tv ,a single speaker looks out of proportion.
Therefore, to get an overall balanced look with tv, a pair of speakers should be used. These speakers can either be placed together or at a distance to suit to size of tv. A gap of 10″- 12″ between two speakers is sufficient to cover the empty space under tv in bedroom.
4/10
FLOATING SHELF
For modern bedroom, there’s nothing more appealing than a floating shelf to fill the space below wall mounted tv. They take minimal space in a bedroom and provide a lot of space to keep multiple items.
The floating shelf can either be a single slab or can be in a certain shape. Normaly wherever floating shelf is used under the tv it is always kept wider than the tv.
In a bedroom also, the floating shelf should be slightly wider than the tv i.e around minimum of 10″ from either side of the tv.
If there is more space on the wall then a floating shelf can extent much long than 10″ i.e upto 20″ below each side of the tv.
5/10
FLOOR SOFA
A floor sofa unde the tv can act as a nice place to sit. This furniture item certainly adds a new look to the bedroom as floor sofas make the bedroom look more cozy and also they are an excellent choice for compact bedrooms where there is not much space for a dedicated sitting area.
The best part about floor sofas is that they are easily movable. Thus, with a same piece of furniture a bedroom can be configured in many different ways.
During day time the floor sofa can b replaced near window and during night,they can simply be put under the wall mounted tv for an organized look.
6/10
TABLE/DESK
Having a desk under the tv provides a dedicated working place in the bedroom.
Ergonomically, a desk should be placed close to the window as it provides natural light. Having a desk placed below the tv wall dos not get much light during day. However, during night, there is no point of placing a desk close to window.
Thus, during night instead of randomly placing the desk anywhere in the room, putting the desk below the tv is a clever trick to fill all the space below tv.
7/10
CUSHIONING FOR PET
Let me add something. I have a dog and i absolutely love it when my dog sleep in my bedroom with me. Normally he goes directly under my bed.
But not all beds have space underneath them. Most modern beds are almost flush with the floor. In a bedroom with low beds, the best place to put the cushioning for pet is below the empty area under the wall mounted tv.
The cushion can be placed joined with the wall or with a couple of inches of small gap from the wall. In both of these placements the space under tv is efficiently utilized.
8/10
3D SCULPTURE
To get a statement look in the bedroom a good size 3d sculpture can works wonders. Just like dressers and bookcase, the 3d sculptures should also maintain gap of 10″- 14″ with the bottom of tv.
Since, its is a bedroom in which the sculpture is being placed, the design and theme of sculpture should be in accordance with the ambiance of bedroom. In simple terms the sculpture should blend seamlessly with the bedroom.
For this the sculpture should have a minimum of one or two colors only. Secondly, the overall appeal of the sculpture should be relaxed instead of striking.
How many sculptures can be put under wall-mounted tv?
A maximum of 3 sculptures can be put under the wall mounted tv.
Either to put a single sculpture, double or triple sculptures depends upon the size of individual sculptures. If the sculpture is covering half the width of tv, then only a single sculpture is enough.
Whereas double sculptures should be used when the single sculpture is not even covering half the width of tv.
Lastly triple sculptures should be used when Tv is extra wide and even after placing two sculptures there’s still lot of empty space (roughly 12″- 16″) left under tv.
9/10
SOFT TOYS
For girls bedroom, soft toys can be a really nice addition to the overall furniture in the room. A decent size soft toy when placed directly on the floor or small soft toys on a shelf below tv can elegantly fill all the empty space under wall mounted tv.
10/10
GREENRY
During special occasions, a small size tree can also look great under the wall mounted tv in bedroom. For example , a Christmas tree.
When Christmas is over, other type of decorative trees can be put under wall mounted tv. The trees need to be real. If real, they would need proper sunlight and care which would require them to be placed near window.
