What is AV Furniture?
Audio Visual furniture is a broad term for any kind of unit that houses your media equipment – including large flat screen TVs, DVD players, Digiboxes, games consoles, CD players, speakers and any other type of media equipment. Many types of AV furniture feature doors and drawers to hide away your electronics while you’re not using them, making for a much neater living space. They also provide storage for an array of electric cables as well as DVD and CD collections.
Types of Audio Visual Furniture
In recent years, lounge furniture designers have catered to the fast-growing range of media devices which come in all shapes and sizes. Modern Audio Visual furniture goes go way beyond the traditional two-door TV unit. For instance, one popular combination features a plasma or LCD screen mounted on the wall, framed by sleek fitted cabinets and shelves to host your supporting media players and DVD collections. It literally becomes part of your living room – and installing bespoke Audio Visual furniture means every element is designed and fitted specifically to your tastes.
When you’re seeking a balance between hi-tech electronics and natural organic living space, the best materials to look for are wood, metal or glass. Wood AV furniture is very popular in a black, oak or walnut finish. If you have more contemporary tastes, you can choose from a metal and tempered glass design, which is strong enough to support heavy kit like large TV screens and amplifiers.
The Cost of Bespoke AV Furniture
If you’re renting or living in temporary accommodation, it’s best to focus on the cheaper kind of lounge furniture, like metal TV stands and DVD racks. Be careful, though, if you have a large TV as they can only support so much weight.
If you’re living in a permanent home then it’s worth investing in TV furniture built for the long term. Shopping for bespoke fitted furniture is becoming increasingly popular as more design options become available. The cost of tailored furniture is also flexible; the customer chooses what materials to use, what dimensions to fill, and just how elaborate the design should be.
