The UK TV furniture market has rapidly expanded, many new brands have entered the UK TV furniture market and existing manufacturers have expanded their ranges with releases of new products as they try to cater for a wider range of consumer tastes and budgets, but as usual in the UK we are missing many of the most exciting products on the market.

BDI TV furniture and Salamander Designs TV furniture have made it across from the states, other imports into the UK include the two German manufacturers Spectral and Jahnke who both manufacture high quality LCD stands and Plasma cabinets. Here in the UK we are clearly missing some inspirational designs like the Lovan brand of television stands which has become famous in the USA, it is well known for the innovative TV lift cabinets, these ingenious TV cabinets conceal a flat panel TV inside the cabinet which lifts out of the top when you want to watch it. It’s not just sheer innovation where the US is ahead of the game, in terms of options and flexibility for example if you desire a taller TV cabinet there are products like this hooker TV cabinet is the perfect solution for accommodating a modern Plasma TV and blending it into traditional surroundings. Unlike many of the more traditional TV stands, these designs are made as a solid oak tv stand, for a more natural look in the home.

Many people spend a long time deciding which LCD or Plasma TV they should buy, often people fail to consider what furniture they are going to put the TV on, this results in a rushed purchase of a cheap glass stand which doesn’t actually match the decor or the current selection of furniture in the room.  It doesn’t have to be like this….

There are a wide range of TV cabinets available to suit all tasted and budgets which have been specically designed for use with home cinema equipment and televisions. So why should you buy a TV cabinet instead of just an ordinary cabinet which you could sit the TV on top of. TV cabinets are designed around the basis of using a TV and other electrical components, this means TV cabinets have excellent cable management with each compartment containing a space to accomodate and run cables to the back of the TV. Each compartment of a TV cabinet has been measured to offer enouugh space to accomodate both the width and depth of AV components. A traditional cabinet will offer little if any ventilation, TV cabinets like the BDI Avion series offer flow through ventilation preventing equipment from overheating which improves quality and preserves the lifespan of AV components, particulary with amplifiers and Hi-Fi. A traditional cabinet is unlikely to offer much in the way of remote control access, whereas some TV cabinets use glass or tinted glass compartment fronts enabling remote controls to function perfectly whilst AV components remain enclosed away from messy fingers and paws and protected from harmful dust. Some TV cabinets even offer media storage with specially designed homes for DVD’s and CD’s.

In the past you may have been unable to find a TV cabinet which matched your current furniture or interior decor but nowadays there is such a great range of products available from a whole host of brands, check out www.big-av.co.uk and take a look at the vast selection of TV cabinets on offer.
