A designer’s tip: Buy the BEST you can afford. If budget is an issue, source secondhand i.e. FB market, Offerup, eBay, Craigslist and thrift stores for SOLID wood pieces that will stand the test of time. Rushing out to buy a glass and metal TV stand “because it’s cheap” is not a good enough excuse in my design handbook. Agree or disagree?

[@rachelbeck6769]

Agree! So are all vertical media consoles completely outdated?

[@prekshabajpai2626]

Totally agreed. Hi Julie how are you ? Thank u so much for all ur videos. I have started Decorating my newly built house and have successfully finished kitchen . Your guidance through videos has given me lot of confidence. Gradually I am progressing to living room and kids room . Let see how it turns .

[@marylut6077]

agree…,I have several glass and wood tv stands and the style doesn’t fit with my home decor. I have solid wood cabinet with doors but it is too small for hubby’s new giant tv.

[@wendydevereaux4282]

I totally agree! I had the find of a lifetime thrifting an antique Louis XV Buffet under $150 which now serves as a humble tv stand. I believe it may be 18th century -but most certainly antique and very beloved as this incarnation. It has various random French words penciled inside the drawers, heavy patina and the huge key still works. Love every single thing about its old & bowed character.

[@lalgeo7]

Agreed, of course!

[@Merementz]

Thanks Julie I loved these!! I'm looking for a TV stand currently. I love the tips you gave, with my laptop hooking up to my TV with hdmi and using an antenna for TV sometimes cords can be shown so sometimes cord control can be difficult to obtain- so I really like these options with the drawer/full back to help hide for more of a sleek polished look. Thank you! Looking forward to the next video, I've been watching your feng shui video on repeat having a learning class here in my living room where you teach us about getting the compass and how to map out the space for the colors to use. Thanks for that too. Really appreciate you sharing your videos with us!

Great suggestions Julie! I love the idea of repurposing the bottom half of china cabinets, buffets and dressers. They can be sanded for a raw look, painted or refinished to one’s personal taste. I would love to see suggestions for cedar chests. I have one from the 70’s I just can’t part with. But it doesn’t really go with my current decor.

[@JulieKhuu]

If the chest has a flat top, you can always cut a piece of glass to modernize the look and repurpose it into a coffee table Donna!

[@jackiecuba3414]

I love how you are so detail oriented, like giving us the ideal measurements and material specifics. But you seemed to talk faster than usual, almost as if you were rushing to get through the content. I enjoy a slower pace so that it's easier to understand. Thanks for all you do!

[@JulieKhuu]

You got it Jackie! Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback 👍🏻☺️

[@Ms.MD7]

So, I rewatched this video like a million times and I fell in love with that Reza credenza since I first laid my eyes on it. While the price nearly gave me a heart attack, the mantra that you said always stuck with me is "have items that you love in your home". Ever since then, I couldn't get anything unless I truly love it and will serve me some practical use. I saved for nearly a year and finally bought the Reza 😊 I can't wait to see it arrived.

[@JulieKhuu]

I love that! The pieces in my home that are the most beloved are the ones that I really saved up for too 🙌🏻

[@EmJayCD]

Thanks Julie for the great video. I was in the market for a media console for months and had no luck finding the perfect one. The ones I did find were in the price range above $1500 for my specific needs. So I ended custom making one myself with the colors I wanted. But not sure whether the style is modern or farmhouse. Either way my wife loves it and she can't wait to start putting all her decor on it.

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s awesome! Custom is the way to go Jose 🙌

[@krmendozaa]

Would love it you also did something like this on hallway/entry way console tables! We are looking for one but have a tiny entry way so it can’t be the size many usually are in stores

[@JulieKhuu]

Added to my list Kriselle! In the meantime, check out my video on entryways in the awkward space series. Tons of ideas to carve out areas in tight/ narrow spaces or where you have no defined entry at all 👍🏻

Anthropologie has been a win for me for a media console. Love that it comes assembled with white glove delivery.

[@JulieKhuu]

I love Anthropologie 😍 Which one did you get Autumn?

[@youbetcha108]

Hi Julie I could not find what I needed for my 65 inch tv so I had it custom made. And I put it on nice wheels. This is important bc I have moved that monster to do cable work. And I have huge openings for wire work bc I am sick of guiding wires through tiny back holes. Also helps vent heat. It’s solid wood but not thick heavy wood. I put grommets in the top and use that when placing a Laptop on top to watch using an hdmi connection from the lap top to the tv. I had a multi socket outlet placed inside and grommet holes in all the side panels to ease wiring inside. It has drawers and closed cabinets and open top shelves and one tempered glass front door. It’s a pretty useful piece for me. There are a lot of tech things to consider when designing a media console. Some nice choices here but not for me. I’m too picky! You look terrific! 🥰🤗Margaret

[@JulieKhuu]

You always come up with brilliant customized solutions for your space Margaret! I love the idea of castors for mobility 🙌🏻

[@eurikia1961]

Thank you, I’m in the market for a tv stand on a “budget”, the Amazon stand and the IKEA are my favorites🤗

[@JulieKhuu]

So many great options I didn’t present Edna!

[@plasticine1999]

Excellent advice on width, thanks. I would be cautious about storing heavy components inside any of of these. Most are rated for the TV on top, not for max weight on the shelves.

My girl Julie! My apartment is tiny, need help finding bed with storage and couch with pullout bed/storage. Something affordable yet, durable and practical. Thank you, love your videos, content and creativity!

[@JulieKhuu]

I have sofa beds on the channel now, search the topic and my name JN. I’m not a fan of beds with storage- my advice is to source the bed, then compartments underneath so you can use it for seasonal storage. I have that video under “storage and organization”

[@ValeCreekCottage]

Thanks Julie, my only issue is I have a traditional English country style home and I would've liked to have seen some more options that weren't so mid-century modern/contemporary for those of us that don't have that style. Still loved the video though, it contains great information on sizing and scale. For your next one, how about console/entry tables/sofa tables - and if you could include some traditional styles in this, that would be great!😊

[@JulieKhuu]

You got it Amanda! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@Nse204]

You're in luck though, old Edwardian and Victorian antiques have been drastically reduced in price due to the popularity of MCM. A simple Shaker or Mission style sideboard would also work well (vintage enough to fit into an English country style).

[@ValeCreekCottage]

@@Nse204 thanks Naomi, but living in Australia with such a small population it is hard to source antiques. We often have to rely on reproductions.

[@eps4560]

OMG! Yes! At 7:10 I bought this exact same "Ansel" console from Home Depot online for $160.00 free to-store shipping versus $275 on Wayfair. It was listed as Tvilum brand, and Not as an Ansel. 68" wide. It is 100% the same unit. I got the Truffle color. It is fantastic, sleek and solid!!! (Also stackable or can place side by side) After that, I found other wayfair and Amazon, pieces of furniture like consoles, tables and shelves under different brand names at home depot for much cheaper! *btw, the solid back drawer walls are lowered so a power-strip can set in a drawer and cables can go out the back panel. I cut my own small hole where I wanted in the back without compromising unit support. One drawer is stuffed with all my cables and power supply/surge protector and tv accessories so the open shelves are clear. And I can open the drawer just fine. !!! Love this one. I also highly recommend the BDI brand consoles if you are an Audiophile but those are $2-3K well worth it though!!! (BDI Corridor SV 7128 slim depth ❤️)

[@JulieKhuu]

Awesome!! I love “Amazon Assistant” extension that finds the best deals on the exact same pieces 👏🏻

[@stephanielu8259]

Thanks Julie! This video comes just in time because I’m looking for a new TV stand right now. My old one was purchased only around a month ago. But it’s too high for me. My neck gets tired so easily. It’s a pity that you didn’t mention the proper height for the console according to the TV size. Waiting for your further info. Thanks! Love your videos ❤️

[@JulieKhuu]

The height has everything to do with where it goes. In the bedroom, the media console may be taller if you’re sitting and watching in bed vs. the living room on a low vs. tall sofa. So that’s a detail that you need to determine for your condition Stephanie

Julie, this is an older video but really helps. Would you consider presenting on how to anchor a space between the types of legs on furniture pieces? I need a media console but am struggling with it sitting on the floor or up on matching legs to the rest of my furniture. I need a dresser but same issue. I love your tips and knowledge. Thank you.

[@JulieKhuu]

Sitting on the floor adds heft and weight, plus nothing falls beneath it. When the piece is anchored against a wall- I like it to have some weight. Furnishings floating in the room can have legs to all the room to breathe. Hope that helps Virginia! Thank you for watching 🩷

[@jacquilinemassawe10]

Great design tips, thank you! I am thinking of getting a tv stand with a fire place, what are your thoughts? My home does not have a fireplace would love one someday.

I have 22 ft ceilings. It’s always a challenge and my space is odd shaped. I luv all your suggestions, but way too small for my space. I do have a modern piece now that backs the tv with wood and has small drawers. A floating unit . If I had a unit made ; Would you suggest it going up 2/3 of the wall height.?

[@JulieKhuu]

No. I suggest using my measurements for TV heights (in the media room video) and using the space below for the custom console. You need to work backwards in this case.

[@omotanwa2986]

[@designbyatlantis007]

Typical, just bought a credenza before watching this! I did get it from ebay, and it's sold wood from the 50s, needs some love. But anyway i loved this video, so informative. Although I've only a 32" tv and the credenza is 82", so i hope the tv doesn't look lost! Thanks for all your great videos!

[@JulieKhuu]

With a console that wide, you can add some decor to either side 👍🏻☺️

[@sooklingyap80]

Good tips lovely choices however what do you when you have 2 speakers, 1 amplifier and 1 subwoofer speaker to fit in?

[@JulieKhuu]

Speakers go inside the cabinets behind mesh (you can look for consoles that offer this like the black/ metal one or remove a door panel and replace with mesh), amp and subwoofer go in the corners of the room for surround sound (which is how I have mine). I have a Sonos playbar that is mounted directly below my TV

[@ronlevenberg2985]

Also, consider whether IR signals from your remote will pass through the front of the media console.

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes, excellent point. Thanks for watching and commenting Ron!

[@annetteturner8467]

I watched the dinning room video but it didn't talk about banquette setting. What table would be best for that?

[@JulieKhuu]

Follow the shape of the banquette Annette. If the bench is long, use a rectangular dining table. If the length and width are the same, square or round will work

[@neksraven]

The only thing I would add is to make sure the remotes can work with the doors closed, and without rattles, if you are planning on a home theater setup. If the remote can't reach the equipment, then you have to deal with open doors, and if you're watching Dune, the doors will rattle when open. Other than that, if you have a screen over 55" be prepared to remove the legs to get the screen to eye level for best picture.

[@JulieKhuu]

Excellent points and definitely shared from experience! I love that Thurman! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@sunrise77ful]

This is very helpful… The one I have now is the first glass one that was x’d 14:16 out😅 want something more sleek, modern and functional for a small space. What is used to set the TV on to the console? I don’t know what you call that, and are they standardized for most smart TVs? Mine is a Toshiba Fire 56”. It has to go in a corner so I think I will only be able to get about a 60 inch console.. thank you!

[@JulieKhuu]

Most newer TVs come with a stand. You remove the stand if you want to mount it onto the wall. They also make corner cabinets, but measure first 📐

[@ilikecontent2327]

Thanks Julie! I am looking for a t.v. stand! I like the IKEA stand. Although the selections you showed are for a more modern space, but I think some may work. I just might have to chose a different finish. What are your thoughts on whether or not to mount the t.v. above a fireplace. I am debating doing that. I just don't want to drill holes in my pretty red brick which has colored grout. For now I use a stand, but it puts the t.v. off center whereas the fireplace is centered In the room...easier for t.v. viewing. Maybe an art picture t.v. with art frame?(don't know the correct name for these) 😊

[@JulieKhuu]

If you’re a long time follower of the channel, you’ll know I consider it a huge mistake to mount the TV above the fireplace for ergonomic issues Ida. I would place it off center on a stand adjacent to the fireplace for optimal viewing. I love Samsung frame TVs, I have one in my daughter’s room now 👍🏻

[@ilikecontent2327]

@@JulieKhuu Thanks! I have not followed that long. But I like the suggestion for the framed one. I have a skinny 10 ft. Deep By 20 ft long living room so to have one above the fireplace works better, but I don't like it. I currently use a stand. It takes up more floor space and makes one end cramped. But thanks for the suggestion. I do have an inset space next to the fireplace I could put a cabinet there. Just can't view the t.v. from there so it juts out into the space. Right now the furniture is placed so they face the fireplace and works well for flow and conversation. 😊

Just purchased an 83" tv and having a tough time finding a stand. I'm going to hang the tv on the wall and the bottom at 30 inches off the floor which means the stand has to be low profile, only up to about 22 inches tall and between 80 and 90 inches wide.

6”-8” feels good and allows you to add a playbar/ speaker if you need it

Sorry if folks have asked this before but how do you get remote controls to work inside closed cabinets? Nearly everyone has a cable box that’s the target of remotes. That’s why people buy open stuff, no? Or - serious question!- are you suggesting we open the doors on the rare (🤣🤣🤣) occasions we’re using our TVs, gaming systems, etc.?

[@JulieKhuu]

You may simply leave the cable box on top of the console and mount the TV Alex. My boxes are wireless, so I actually have them hidden in a corner of my husband’s office. Of course if this doesn’t work for you, specify the consoles that have a little cutout for the cable box. Do what works for you!

[@Justmejbful]

I'm looking for something really functional for AV receivers, amplifiers, game consoles and center channel speakers. Most consoles are not really functional for housing AV receivers within them as they are too shallow/not deep enough from front to back. Many also do not focus on ventilation.

[@ronlevenberg2985]

Thanks for your suggestions but I think you over-emphasized style while missing the point of a media console, which is to hold media equipment such as cable box, A/V receiver or stereo amp, DVD player, streaming Music player, etc. Especially important: consider depth of your receiver. One of mine is 18.5 inches so I’d need a media console into which it would fit … and would need to ensure there’s space behind the device for cables, so we’re talking maybe 21 inches or even 22 inches. Since it’s difficult to find units this deep, the search for one is very difficult. If you can help with that, it would be great.

[@JulieKhuu]

I would source a deep dresser in this case. You can find fabulous ones with a top cutout for oversized media equipment. You did the work to measure all inventory, now try searching “dressers” instead of media consoles. Good luck!

How heigh should the tv stand be ? On average. I am placing a 55inch tv on it.

[@JulieKhuu]

There is no “average”, but 25”-30” is a nice height with a TV stand

This video is awesome, but can I just say it: the dress you are wearing is gorgeous!

[@JulieKhuu]

Aw thank you so much Jackeline! 🙏😊

[@krys1992]

What about tv that are 50inch? What size console ?

[@JulieKhuu]

The TV should take up 2/3 of the size of the console Krystal. So the console should be around 75” wide

[@waterstill7100]

Does anyone think I need a TV console for a wall mounted 75” Samsung Frame TV in living room?

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes, always

@JulieKhuu ~If you want to appeal to the techies in the household, mention the textured fabric on the front like you did, but mention the airflow capability for the techies setting up the electronics in them. Us techies & the new trend now is better layouts tend to focus on airflow for electronics, dust protection for electronics, and the cable management holes placement for good invisible cabling & ease of use. Fabric is a go to for us because it improves airflow for cooling down electronics & some dust blocking.

Any ideas for a smaller TC

[@JulieKhuu]

Any cabinet will do Ann! Typical media consoles are larger. You can use an entry console or even bedroom dresser for smaller spaces that double as storage

What do you think of the Norre media console? Any feedback would be highly appreciated!

@@JulieKhuu really good 👍 I am practical but very visual, so I was able to use the table for my indoor house plants and still have a great looking table underneath my 65 inch TV. In addition I put baskets underneath my media unit to store all of my DVD'S 📀

[@benjaminfajardo9469]

Your calculations appear to be off. You calculated the stands width using the diagonal width of the TV and not the horizontal width like you said to use. 32" TV (29" width) = 29 x 1.33 = 38.57” console 42" TV (36" width) = 36 x 1.33 = 47.88” console 55" TV (50" width) = 50 x 1.33 = 66.5” console 65〞 TV (57.5” wiath) = 57.5 x 1.33 = 76.475” console 75" TV (66" width) = 66 x 1.33 = 87.78” console Please correct me if I miss understood.. thank you

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes, you misunderstood Benjamin. Imagine cutting a console in 3 equal widths. The TV should take up 2 of those portions, not 1 1/3.
