You absolutely can. A sideboard often doubles as a wonderfully stylish and versatile TV stand, especially if its height and width align beautifully with your screen. It's a clever design hack that provides ample storage and a cohesive look, proving that good design knows no boundaries.

Choosing the right TV stand is really about getting the size and setup to feel effortless. Go for a stand that’s at least as wide as your TV so the whole area feels grounded and balanced.For comfortable viewing, aim to have the center of your screen at seated eye level — which typically works out to about 42 inches from the floor. Keep your sofa roughly 1.5 to 2.5 times the TV’s diagonal distance away, and you’ll get a crisp, easy viewing experience. And don’t forget cable management: a stand with cutouts or hidden panels keeps wires out of sight, so the whole room looks calm and considered.

A TV wall is a canvas waiting for personality. Dress it up with paint, wallpaper, trim, or built-ins that frame the screen with intention. Add finishing touches like thoughtful lighting, sculptural decor, or a few beautifully framed pieces to turn a functional wall into a space that feels curated, lived-in, and entirely yours.
