Small TV
Size plays an important role when choosing a TV for the kitchen, because many are forced to abandon their original plans. If it does not fit, it must be discarded. Experts warn that installing a large TV in a small room is dangerous for your eyesight.
The TV area should be comfortable
A fifteen-inch screen can be viewed at a distance of 1.5 m from it, and a 25-inch or larger screen must be viewed at least 2.5 m away.
The small screen is suitable for standard kitchens in Khrushchev and most other buildings . They are usually filled with furniture, so there is no extra space. It is better to take a diagonal of 15-20 inches.
Every housewife would be happy to have a TV in the kitchen.
You can install a miniature screen in different ways, in order to save as much space as possible, it is better to hang it using a hanging bracket . If the furniture or walls do not allow you to attach additional fittings to them, you can use any shelf.
Tip In a small kitchen there is a risk of damage to installed appliances. It is regularly exposed to the harmful effects of steam, splashes of water, oil, and other factors. Therefore, when choosing a small TV, it is better to consider options with moisture-resistant and grease-repellent effects.
Take your choice of TV location seriously
Selecting a TV
A TV in the kitchen should support the overall style of the interior and fit harmoniously into the kitchen set. Screen diagonal, viewing angle and functionality are of great importance.
Diagonal
The diagonal of the screen is selected according to the size of the room and depending on the installation location. The smaller the room area, the smaller the screen. For small kitchens, a diagonal of up to 19” is suitable, for medium-sized ones (9-12 m²) – up to 24”. And only on the wall of a spacious kitchen-living room can you hang a panel with a diagonal of 32” or more.
A TV with a diagonal of up to 24” is placed on the tabletop, and much smaller on a shelf. Among built-in models, the most common are compact ones - with a diagonal of 21.5" or 22", but there are others: 27", 32" and more.
Viewing angle
The viewing angle for a kitchen TV is especially important, otherwise the housewife at the stove or sink will not see anything. Choose a device with a maximum value of this indicator – 178° or close to it.
Advice! It is better to buy a modern high-tech model with Smart TV, Wi-Fi, Full HD, USB ports, etc. Then the functionality of your kitchen will expand significantly.
Here are some interesting options equipped with all the necessary functions:

The front panel acts as a full-fledged mirror if the device is turned off. Dust and moisture protection class – IPx4. Price – 45900 rub.
Large models
This option is suitable for owners of large kitchens in which there is no need to save space. This applies to residents of new buildings, in which the size of the cooking room is usually impressive. They combine two parts:
- a food preparation area in which the stove, sink, surfaces, and appliances are located;
- area for lunch and relaxation.
Large TV for a large room
There is no point in installing small models, because not only the hostess, but also all family members who came to eat will want to watch the film. Therefore, it is recommended to place the screen so that it can be seen by everyone, from different angles of a large kitchen. For this purpose, screens of 30 inches and larger are used.
By type of technology, you can choose one of the options:
- LCD. An option that has proven itself to be of good quality. Among the disadvantages is the small viewing angle - from some places the images are slightly distorted.
- LED _ A more expensive option that offers a clear image that is clearly visible from everywhere. Among the disadvantages is the high cost.
The main thing is that everyone can see it from all angles
Kitchen with sofa
Combining these two pieces of furniture became popular in the 90s. At that time, the kitchen was a room not only for preparing food, but also for receiving guests. Today, despite the presence of special guest rooms in many houses and apartments, combining a sofa with a TV remains relevant.
First of all, they create comfort. There will always be people who want to relax while waiting for dinner, lie down on a soft pillow, watching their favorite show. The hostess herself will also not mind spending a few free minutes not sitting on a stool, but comfortably reclining.
Comfortable area with sofa
Most design options involve placing the sofa opposite the work surface. Between them there is a table and chairs. It is best to hang the screen on the side wall so that it can be seen equally well by both those who are lying down and the housewife standing at the stove. When guests sit down at the table, it is enough to simply leave one of the small sides closest to the screen unoccupied.
The sofa and the screen should be combined with each other and fit the overall style of the room. For a small kitchen, practical upholstered furniture is chosen; it often has built-in shelves and drawers; in such a miniature interior, a small screen will look advantageous. A large TV is suitable for a spacious kitchen in which there is no need to save space.
Combined kitchen-living room option
Where to hang it in a small kitchen?
In the kitchen of a Khrushchev-era building or another building with cramped apartments, it is better to install a TV with a diagonal of 15 to 20 inches.
In a small kitchen space densely packed with furniture, it is not easy to find the optimal place to place the TV. It is not recommended to place the TV on the worktop as it will take up space and interfere with comfortable cooking.
When designing a kitchen unit, it is preferable to provide a special niche for a built-in TV device. If this is not possible, it would be appropriate to empty one cabinet yourself, remove the doors and place the TV inside.
The photo shows an example of installing a TV device in a small kitchen room.
For a small kitchen, screens suspended from the ceiling or models with wall mounting, a special bracket or shelf are suitable. Such devices have a wide variety of modifications in the form of rotary, telescopic and corner products. The room can be supplemented with a compact folding TV, which is mounted in the lower part of the wall cabinets.
Corner kitchens
An L-shaped kitchen is a common option used in houses and apartments of different layouts. The furniture is arranged in such a way that everything is arranged compactly, even in a small room there is free space. It is convenient to place the TV in the corner opposite the L-shaped sofa, if available.
A corner kitchen is especially suitable for small rectangular rooms.
When there is little space but a lot of furniture
To plan your interior, taking into account all the details, follow these tips:
- Typically, L-shaped furniture is used in small spaces, so the TV should be small.
- There may be no sofa, while all other furniture is corner. In such cases, you can install the screen above an L-shaped surface.
- Eliminate wall cabinets, freeing up access to the TV. Some housewives cannot imagine a room without them, but when they are not there, the whole room looks more spacious. They can be replaced with retractable, roll-out systems.
Built-in option between cabinets
Built-in TV
A wall niche is one of the best options for placing a TV. If you want your kitchen to look stylish and unusual, consider it.
It is important to consider that in small rooms this technique conceals the space even more. Therefore, it is still better to model a niche where the dimensions allow.
Its placement can be arbitrary. A small niche with a TV built into it above the dining table looks especially impressive. This allows you to visually separate the cooking area from the dining area. Designers are very fond of this technique, and for good reason: even a medium-sized room with proper zoning looks spacious.
When designing a niche, do not forget about the general rules for placing a television screen. You should not place it too close to those sitting at the table - this will harm your eyesight. Also consider the angle of the TV and its height.
By following these recommendations, you can easily select the optimal place to place a wall niche.
Best TV
To choose the best option, you need to consider:
- Diagonal . Large does not mean better, because the main criterion when choosing its size remains the size of the room. 32-inch and large screens can only be considered when the area is 20 square meters or more, like other rooms.
- Viewing angle . A suitable parameter is 178/178 degrees. If it is not possible to buy such a model, you need to try to ensure that the angle both horizontally and vertically is at least 17 degrees.
- Permission . The quality of the picture largely depends on this parameter. Small screens typically use two formats: 1280x720 pixels and 1920x1080 pixels. Each of them is suitable for obtaining high-quality images.
- Functionality . Some people just need a TV to play background music and watch their favorite shows. Others pay attention to such features as the model’s support for digital broadcasting, the presence of a USB port, and Smart TV.
Before choosing, consider many nuances
The following models are recognized as popular options for small rooms: Thomson T19RTE1060, BBK 20LEM-1056/T2C, for large ones - Philips 24PHT4031, Samsung T24E310EX. Also, options with increased functionality, especially Wi-Fi support, are in increasing demand; the LG 24MT49S-PZ is considered one of the most common.
Selecting screen diagonal and installation method: basic rules ↑
When choosing a TV for different rooms, it is necessary to take into account the conditions in which the equipment will have to work, the intensity and duration of daily viewing, and the distance from the installation point to the viewer’s eyes.
Mounting a TV on the wall in the kitchen-dining room
Correct choice of height and distance
In spacious living rooms and bedrooms you can save money by installing LCD panels. Such TVs are able to withstand many hours of viewing without “burning out” of individual sections of the screen, and consume less electricity compared to plasma models. The disadvantage is a limited viewing angle without distortion of quality and color rendition. The advantage is an affordable price. But with a reasonable choice of installation location, all disadvantages are leveled out: if you hang the panel opposite the sofa and choose the optimal height, then there will be no complaints about the quality of the picture.
Scheme for determining the optimal distance from the screen to the viewing area
It is advisable to install expensive LED panels in rooms where there is no fixed place for viewing. Viewing angle – from 120o. Image quality does not suffer from too much light in the room. Energy consumption is at a minimum.
Plasma panels are considered the standard for natural color reproduction. Disadvantages - wasteful energy consumption, limited service life, strong heating of the rear surface during operation, heavy weight.
Height and distance from the eyes to the center of the panel
Basic rules for choosing a place to place the TV:
- The distance from the screen to the eyes should not be less than 2 diagonals in centimeters. A comfortable distance is from 2.5 to 4 diagonal sizes.
- The height of mounting the TV on the wall should not be too high. Ideally, the center of the screen will be in line with the eye line of the person sitting opposite the panel.
- If distance and height rules cannot be met, choose an adjustable mount to make viewing comfortable.
- Do not install equipment near heating radiators.
Poor choice of location: light from the window will interfere with viewing
- The screen should not be in direct sunlight, opposite a window. The darker the area where the equipment is located, the better the picture: you won’t have to set the brightness to maximum.
Accommodation options
Those who have installed televisions say that the easiest place to find it is in the living room - opposite the sofa. In other rooms you have to adapt to their size and take into account the presence of other furniture.
Much is left to the choice of the housewife, who spends more time than the rest of the family. The basic rule remains that the screen is distant from the washbasin and stove. You can choose the mounting method based on your preferences.
Adapt to the size of the room
Built-in TV
Creating a special niche in the wall is one of the best placement methods. It looks more original than just furniture on a shelf. This option appeared relatively recently; in the 90s, no one had heard of a built-in screen.
A niche can be made in medium to large sized rooms. In small ones, it will additionally hide part of the space.
Incredibly comfortable and doesn't take up much space
The niche is located spontaneously; any place is suitable for it . Some people like the design above the dining table. In families with small children, it can be placed on the wall of the central table, at foot level. Children will be happy to play on the floor with cartoons (suitable for a large room, the table of which borders on the seating area).
When designing a place for a niche, think about safety rules and remember the required distance to the eyes. If the screen is above the dining table, the table should be of such a size that everyone sitting at it can easily look into it. If it is undesirable to do this from a certain angle, it is better not to place chairs there at all.
Relevant for families with small children
On the bracket
An easy installation method that allows you to install the screen at any level without using other furniture, walls, or surfaces. The bracket must have a rotating function so that you can easily turn the screen in the desired direction . Then you can look into it from any position: sitting, standing, in different parts of the room.
The advantage of this installation method is simplicity. The bracket is easy to install, even inexperienced people can do it. This option is also well suited for small rooms, for which 15-20 inch models are preferred.
Rotary function for desired rotation
You can only install a flat screen on the bracket; you cannot hang a lamp screen. For older large models, you can only use hanging shelves, but this is not advisable. Due to the large weight of the model, it is very difficult to choose a reliable, durable mount.
To mount the bracket, it is necessary to secure the bolts to a solid base - concrete or brick. New design solutions offer more interesting installation options: it can come down from the ceiling and be attached to the cabinet from above, so that the bolts will not be visible.
Swivel wall bracket
On the shelf
The easiest way to place it is to use a shelf. Some people don’t have to do anything at all to do this, and so they find a free shelf. Others, due to the structural features of the walls, the entire room, and the material used in their construction, are forced to abandon the bracket.
Despite the apparent simplicity of this option, it can be given a beautiful design. If using a shelf is necessary for you, choose it and all the other furniture harmoniously. Then everything will look comfortable, being “in its place.”
Choosing a suitable shelf in the kitchen
As in other cases, the shelf cannot be placed above the stove or washbasin. It is best to make it to order, along with the rest of the headset, then it will become part of the design solution. Many furniture designs initially include a shelf.
The TV must be stable; when making a shelf separately, it is important to take accurate measurements.
Do not place the TV above the stove
TV in the kitchen: placement rules
TV is installed in different rooms, and the kitchen is no exception. It’s very simple to explain: many families like to spend evenings together drinking a cup of tea or watching their favorite movie. In addition, you can watch the evening news on TV without being distracted from dinner, or have breakfast while watching your favorite channel. Another question: how to place a TV in the kitchen so that it is convenient and safe? In this article we will answer the question posed.
In which part of the room should the TV be placed?
First, you need to decide from which point (or points) in the room you will watch TV. This could be a dining table, work area or sofa (if the kitchen is large enough). Additionally, you need to consider the location of the window. It should not be in front of the TV. Otherwise, too much light will fall on its screen, and the image may glare. Only thick curtains will help avoid this. But here you definitely need to think about whether you are ready to close them every time, including turning on the TV. How convenient will this be? If this doesn’t bother you, you can simplify the task and buy curtains with an electric curtain rod. They are controlled from the control panel, which means you don’t have to make unnecessary movements. By pressing one button you close the curtain, by pressing another you turn on the TV. All this will not take you much time. Moreover, even a child can cope with the task.
What else you need to consider when choosing a place for the TV is that it should not interfere with the cooking process. The screen should be removed from the sink, stove and other “dangerous” mixtures. Another important point: if it’s not the image that’s important to you, but the sound, amplify it with speakers. In this case, your equipment will be able to perform the function of a radio. You can cook and enjoy your favorite music, listen to the news. Your favorite programs will play in the background without distracting you from the main task.
If your kitchen is large enough, place the TV in the seating area (opposite the sofa and armchairs). The same advice is relevant for two combined rooms. In this case, you can allocate a decent place for the TV in the center of the room and watch it from two positions (both from the kitchen and from the recreation area).
Which TV to choose for the kitchen
Having determined the location of the equipment, you can proceed to its selection and purchase. This is a responsible task, and in order to cope with it, you need to take into account several important criteria:
Equipment dimensions
The dimensions of the TV should be proportional to the size of the room. In other words, a very small model will not be suitable for a large room, and a large one will not be suitable for a small room. How to determine the appropriate size? If your room is no more than 9 m2, the diagonal of the TV should not exceed 20. For a room with an area of 10 to 15 m2, a TV with a diagonal of 20-25 inches is suitable. If your room is larger than 15 m2, you can buy a TV with a diagonal of 36-40 inches. For greater comfort, it is recommended that the distance from the viewing position to the TV be at least 4 diagonals.
Specifications
Kitchen appliances should be compact, have a high level of resolution and contrast. For example, LED TVs show high-quality images due to high resolution. They can be viewed from any point. Such TVs are energy efficient and can be very thin.
LCD TVs are another suitable option for the kitchen. However, it should be borne in mind that the image will not be of high quality from all sides. You can increase the number of points for a good view using a rotating bracket.
Plasma models. In them, each individual cell acts as a light source. These screens do not require additional backlighting. Their minimum diagonal is 32 inches. That is, you need to choose such equipment for rooms from 16 m2.
Volume
Before purchasing a TV, check its volume. It is important that it is high enough so that you can hear the TV from any part of the room. However, if the sound is the only thing that doesn’t suit you about the model you like, you can safely take it. In the future, buy several speakers for it, and the issue will be resolved.
Waterproof technology
If your budget allows, choose waterproof TVs. They can be placed in any part of the kitchen, even above the sink. Such models have a high price, but it is completely worth it. Waterproof models last longer than regular ones.
Additional functions
Wi-Fi and Smart TV functions will be useful for a TV in the kitchen. With their help you can play videos from the Internet. Another useful feature is the presence of USB. This way you can use your TV as a tablet. All you need is to insert a flash drive with your favorite family photos. But you can refuse support for 3D images and other similar functions. You may need them for appliances in the living room, but you probably won't use them in the kitchen.
Another important tip: a TV is a household appliance, just like a microwave oven or dishwasher. When choosing it, you must strive to ensure that it fits well into the interior and is combined with all its objects. For example, if all the appliances in the kitchen are silver, try to find the same TV. As a last resort, give preference to the universal black option.
Best Ways to Place a TV in the Kitchen
An equally important issue is the method of placing the TV. It’s one thing to choose a place in the room, another thing is how exactly the equipment will be fixed. If possible, you need to think through this point in advance, at the stage of designing an apartment or room. In this case, you have more opportunities to bring everything to perfection: make a convenient outlet, hide the wires. However, installing a TV is also possible in a finished kitchen. Below we consider the most popular solutions for placing this equipment:
Swivel bracket. With its help you can watch TV from any part of the room. To do this, just rotate the bracket to the required angle. This stand is attached using anchor bolts to a concrete or brick base. If the base is plasterboard, you need to provide “mortgages” in advance for attaching the bracket.
Folding TV. This TV is mounted under a wall cabinet. When folded, it is almost invisible. And if you add a swivel bracket to it, the number of viewing points will increase significantly.
Placing the TV on the countertop. Not the best option, since in this case there will be foreign objects in front of the equipment: dishes and other accessories. All of them will obscure the screen and interfere with watching your favorite program. Choosing this method of placement is recommended for small rooms, for those to which no other option is suitable.
Built-in TV. This method involves ordering a kitchen set with a special niche. At the same time, it should be located away from opening doors and drawers. It is very important that they do not block it. Another way of placement is in a wall cabinet installed in the corner of the room. In this case, the equipment will not interfere with cooking.
TV on the apron. This solution will allow the housewife to wash dishes, cook and watch her favorite shows without being distracted from the cooking process. The only thing you should remember is that in this situation we are not talking about a large, but a small monitor.
Even if you have limited space in your kitchen, do not place your TV on top of your refrigerator, microwave, or other appliances. The vibrations emanating from them will shorten the life of the TV.
Another question concerns the height of the TV. It should be such that watching your favorite programs does not cause the slightest discomfort. Ideally, your eyes and your neck should not get tired even when watching TV for a long time.
If you're going to watch TV while cooking, stand near the stove and look at a blank wall. The place where your eye falls is most likely suitable for placing equipment. Given your height, this height will be sufficient. Once again, carefully consider this arrangement, and if you are sure that it suits you, you can buy the equipment.
Simply put, the height of the TV is selected individually. There are no standards here, it all depends on your convenience and the capabilities of the kitchen.
How to properly attach a TV to the wall
Having determined the intended location for the TV, be sure to make sure that it is suitable for installing equipment. First of all, you need to remember that a plasterboard wall is not suitable for heavy structures. If the weight of the TV is more than 30-35 kg, it may collapse.
If the wall is made of blocks or bricks, you can install the TV on it using brackets. However, before doing this, it is very important to make sure that there is no wiring running through the location of the dowels. If your apartment is a new building, be sure to record the location of the wires and rely on the diagram when carrying out repair work and making holes in the wall.
Hard and soft brackets are sold in stores. The latter are a universal option. With their help, you can change the angle and slightly rotate the screen.
What to do with cables and wires
If your apartment is at the design stage, think about this issue in advance. Decide where the TV and its connections will be located. Perhaps the wires can be hidden behind the monitor itself. In this case, the sockets should be located at a distance of 8-10 cm from its upper or lower edge.
If the renovation in the apartment is completed, but you decide to hang up the TV, you can hide the wires from it in a cable box. In the future, it will be possible to design it to match the color of the wall, so that it does not catch the eye.
How to make a TV part of the interior
A TV can be part of the interior. At the very least, it should not stand out among other objects on the window. The neutral option is a TV with a standard black frame. This will fit well with any headset. However, you can go further and disguise the technique. How to do it?
Decorating the wall on which the TV is located
The surface on which the TV is located can be distinguished from the background of other walls. This can be done using a different finishing material. For example, a liquid crystal or plasma panel located on imitation wood or brickwork, or on wallpaper with a large pattern, looks stylish.
Backlight
Another way to highlight your TV is with backlighting. The easiest way is an LED strip attached to the device body. You can cope with this task yourself. For example, you can attach a blue or yellow backlight to your TV. This design is ideal for kitchens decorated in modern styles.
Niche
The TV located in the niche looks beautiful. At your request there can be several of them. For example, a TV can be placed in the central niche, and decorative elements (vases, bowls of fruit) along the edges. However, it is important to understand that to implement this idea you will need a free wall. If it is not there, it is worth considering other options for placing the TV.
Frame
Another way to place a TV in the kitchen is to frame it under a mirror or a picture. If your kitchen is decorated in a classic style, you can turn the display into a painting by decorating it with stucco. The final option depends only on your imagination. And if your budget allows, you can purchase modern TV models. When turned off, they cannot be distinguished from the picture. The “screensaver” can be paintings by famous artists or your own photos.
You can place a TV in any kitchen. The main thing is to choose a suitable place for it, decide on the size and functions of the device itself. Otherwise, there should be no difficulties with installing the TV.

Dimensions
Ophthalmologists pay great attention to this factor, noting a trend of decreased vision in young people.
An important rule: the further the screen is located from the viewer, the larger the diagonal size is permissible. If a 7-inch diagonal is suitable, choose only that.
Choose the appropriate diagonal for easy viewing
It is recommended to calculate the permissible diagonal using the following formula: take the distance from yourself to the screen and divide by 4. It is important to consider that people will be watching TV from different parts of the kitchen, so it is better to calculate several numbers from different places.
The choice of height is also important; the top of the equipment should be at eye level . If the main viewer is a housewife preparing food while standing, the screen needs to be placed higher. If it turns on only during lunches and dinners, when the whole family is sitting at the table - below.
Height is also very important when choosing
Important. If you doubt whether the model you choose is safe for your eyes, it is better to buy a few inches smaller and hang it a little further away.

TV for your interior
Tips and tricks for choosing
What size should a TV be?
On average, someone who cooks for the whole family spends from 1 to 5 hours in the kitchen. Plus time for breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea with sandwiches in between. It turns out that almost half of the time is spent here, especially if you fully cook and bake.
Many are accustomed to carefully watching their favorite programs and news broadcasts, others do not watch, only listen. This is also typical of knitters who know every phrase of TV characters, but do not remember what they looked like during a certain period of events. It’s the same with those who are used to cooking with “background noise” that distracts them from the tedious process.
Experts advise thinking about where to hang the TV in the kitchen even at the design stage.
The format of the TV depends on the form of viewing:
- a small television unit with an antenna, which is preferred by truckers;
- an old-style TV, which after renovation was “written off” from the living room to the kitchen, to a country house or to the country;
- a standard modern device purchased on credit for the occasion;
- large plasma panel - for placement opposite the dining set.
The installation location and height depends on the circumstances under which you will use the TV.
Most often, housewives view television not as a form of entertainment, but rather as a way to distract from the protracted process of preparing dishes. For some, it is something like a radio - a source of news. Many families have a tradition of eating at the table in front of the TV. The height of the TV depends on the viewing method:
- somewhere in the corner;
- at eye level;
- on the side of the cutting panel;
- in a free furniture niche.
If it will mainly work during meals, it is placed low, almost at eye level of the person sitting.
People addicted to television have a TV on in every room and are very responsible in choosing the attribute of “feeding” information. Those who are more concerned with aesthetics try to integrate “plasma” or a small television “box” into interior design. Regardless of the approach, watching television should not bring discomfort. It's good to keep track of information without raising your head.
