Varieties and models
Depending on the interior design, there are a large number of models for a wardrobe with a built-in TV.
Such wardrobes fit perfectly into the style of modern apartments.
If you leave a lot of space around the equipment, and place shelves on the sides and top at a large distance, this creates a feeling of spaciousness and freedom. Conversely, the more limited the space for the TV, the more compact and minimalistic the room design seems.
The most common type is a wardrobe with a shelf in the middle.
Varieties of wardrobes with built-in appliances are divided into several types:
- The TV shelf is located in the middle of the model. In this case, functional storage spaces are located above and below the equipment. There are models of built-in furniture where an additional recess for a laptop is located above the TV. Here you can fit huge flat screens to create a home cinema. Drawers and shelves for things are located on both sides of the TV screen. This design is convenient because you can watch a movie while lying on the sofa or on the floor. The height of the shelf is set so that it is comfortable to look at the screen for a long time.
- A corner cabinet saves space in the apartment and occupies the least functional area of the room. Built-in furniture is designed in such a way that shelves and drawers are arranged in height. Depending on how you place the upholstered furniture for relaxation, it will depend on where to make a niche for the TV. Usually, the long side of the structure is chosen for this, so that additional racks with drawers for storing small items can be placed on the sides.
- In the bedroom, the main and best place is reserved for the bed. A wardrobe with a TV inside is created so that you can watch a movie while lying in bed. In this case, a screen is attached to the main visible panel of the structure or a large recess is made. All things, bed linen and towels are hidden from prying eyes by sliding panels.
Niche location options
There are several options for locating a niche for a plasma panel.
With a shelf in the middle
This is a standard model, where a separate shelf is installed in the middle of the TV cabinet. On the sides there are spacious sections covered with sliding panels. Open shelving or pull-out modules are located above the same parallel with the TV. This option is optimal for any living room and bedroom.

With wall-mounted TV

With wall-mounted TV
To do this, the necessary space is left in the furniture, surrounded by shallow shelving.
Due to the elimination of brackets, the furniture design looks neat
A panel fixed at a right angle is easier to view.
Closed niche
In these models, a niche with a non-working TV can be hidden behind the canvases. The room becomes whole and neat. An excellent option for pedantic people seeking minimalism in the interior.
Closed niche
Niche in the corner
Placing a plasma panel near the corner of the room is justified only by the location of the viewing position. Often this option is found in living rooms, which are divided into separate zones, upholstered furniture is shifted towards the corner or located diagonally.
Filling options
When choosing a model for a wardrobe, consider what things you plan to store there. If these are towels and bed linen, it makes sense to make the shelves high. For children's clothing, make a lot of drawers so that the child can quickly sort and find the right item of clothing.
Ideally, even the largest flat-screen TVs are comfortably located inside the wardrobe.
Do you prefer to hang your clothes on hangers? Then give preference to high niches with a minimum width. When planning a cabinet model with space for a TV, imagine how you will walk and open the cabinet. Will you block the view of your household if they are watching a movie at the same time? Little things like thoughtful filling options create a harmonious atmosphere in the house and a good mood.
The decor is complemented by landscapes and romantic views for every taste.
TV installation height
So, we have chosen, now the most difficult thing is to place it. At what height should you hang a TV in the bedroom? This is the key point in this situation. The ease of viewing will depend on this. You need to rely on how you will watch it:
- Sitting – mounting the TV lower. It can be placed on a cabinet or in a niche built into a closet. There is a simple rule: the top third of the TV screen should be located exactly at eye level.
- When lying down, hang the TV higher. It's best to do it at an angle above the bed. True, some even prefer to mount a flat-screen TV on the ceiling. For perfect comfort.
To choose the best place that suits your height, sit in a bed or chair and close your eyes. After a few seconds, open it and look where you plan to install the equipment. Wherever your gaze immediately falls, that’s where the middle of the monitor should be.
It is worth noting that when creating the desired angle of inclination, you can use special brackets. They usually come with the TV or are sold at any electronics store. Mounts can be rigid or movable.
How to choose the right one
If you are bored with the classic design of built-in furniture with a niche for appliances, opt for a block design. By assembling individual fragments into a single set, you can make maximum use of the space of the apartment.
Patterned glass doors look good in tandem with the shiny dark glass of the TV screen.
Stylists recommend paying attention to the details of the TV screen. Are there decorative elements in its frame or maybe a certain color prevails? If yes, then try to repeat this in the design of a built-in wardrobe. This technique will give the interior a special chic.
The fantasy of the owners of a house or apartment can be easily satisfied by a huge selection of cabinets with a niche for a TV.
Manufacturing materials
To make cabinets with a niche for a TV, all types of furniture materials are used:
- Wood (solid wood). This is a traditional material that allows you to make furniture in any style. There are models with carved panels and turned inserts, and there are also modern examples in the hi-tech style. However, solid wood furniture has the highest price, which somewhat limits the demand for it.
- MDF or chipboard. These materials are derived from natural wood, but unlike it, they are much cheaper. They do not have the same decorative capabilities as solid wood. Usually they are planes assembled into a structure of the required size.
- Metal. There are no completely metal cabinets, as they are very heavy and do not look as attractive as wood or glass. As a rule, these are assemblies from a profile pipe that makes up the frame of the cabinet, as well as shelves with a TV and other things. Closed compartments have doors made of natural wood, chipboard, plastic and other materials. Externally, such sets resemble massive bookcases. They are rarely used in residential areas due to their unique design.
- Plywood. This option is considered as optimal in terms of quality and price ratio. However, it is necessary that the plywood be made from valuable wood veneer, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve an attractive look for the furniture.
Rules for arranging furniture in the living room, useful recommendations
In addition to the material itself, there are different methods of finishing surfaces. There are options with powder coating (metal furniture frames), varnish (natural wood, plywood) or decorative laminating film (chipboard, MDF). All types of finishing are selected to match the base material and protect it from moisture or other external factors.

Examples of interior design with a wardrobe with a TV inside
Heavy furniture is being replaced by lightweight wardrobe designs. It’s up to you to choose a built-in or cabinet model. But for equipment that itself weighs a lot, it is better to give preference to a case assembly.
The variety of colors and material combinations is truly very impressive.
- For residential premises, in addition to functionality, decor plays an important role. By choosing a harmonious color and texture of the material, you can completely change the appearance of the room.
- Hinged or sliding door. The choice will depend on the availability of free space in the apartment. To save space, sliding panels are made. But keep in mind that when opened, such a door may limit access to the TV.
- Building a three-section cabinet is considered a classic option. Depending on the interior design, a niche in the middle or one of the side places is allocated for the TV. If the equipment is used infrequently, it can also be covered with a door panel. This will protect the TV from dust and gives the room a neat, compact look.
Placing TV in the bedroom
Let's consider options for placing the TV in the bedroom.
On a nightstand or chest of drawers
One of the simplest options, since you don’t need to damage the wall, drill, mount and hide sockets and wires, but the installation height will depend on the cabinet.
On the wall
It can rightfully be considered a classic. If you hang the TV, it will take up little space in the room, which is undoubtedly a plus. By giving free rein to your imagination, you can use decor to transform a wall beyond recognition. Here you cannot do without a mount that will hold the TV. Also, think in advance about where to hide the wires. Usually hidden channels are used or covered with external boxes.
In a niche
If you have a wardrobe or a wall in the bedroom, you can place the TV in a specially designated niche. Having a corner wardrobe in the bedroom will allow you to hide the TV with a radius façade. It's very convenient to do this when you're not watching it.
It is important to remember that the equipment must be located freely in the niche. The gaps at the top, bottom and sides should be about 15 cm. This is necessary for sufficient ventilation, otherwise the equipment will fail.
On the partition
This option is relevant in cases where the bedroom is separated by a low partition from another room.
Useful tips and recommendations for selection and use
Sometimes the large number of offers makes it difficult to choose. Each model has its own advantages, and the variety of designs and materials is amazing.
Designers and furniture designers offer customers interesting designs that can be shaped at their discretion.
To find “your” model, listen to the recommendations of experts:
- Know the exact dimensions of the room. Have an idea of where you plan to put the cabinet and from what position it is convenient to watch TV.
- Plan your purchase in advance and calculate your budget. Don't choose a model based on price alone. The most important functionality of built-in furniture with appliances is to conveniently place all things and create comfort for family movie watching. If something causes discomfort, for example, the TV shelf is too high and you need to constantly throw your head back, it’s better to choose another model.
- When choosing a wardrobe, give preference to high-quality materials made of aluminum or other metal. Plastic parts, for example, rollers for the sliding system, will have to be changed after a year and a half. Take care immediately that you do not need to regularly spend money on repairs.
The sliding wardrobe is selected and installed for many years. Therefore, when choosing it, take into account all the wishes, habits and preferences of each family member.
It fits perfectly into the interior of even a small room, saving living space.
So that TV does good and not harm
Whether you need a TV in the bedroom, putting it in the room where you relax or not is only your personal decision. There are no serious reasons not to do this, but experts in the field of psychology still believe that the presence of TV in the bedroom will interfere with a normal life. Causes:
- It is harmful to watch TV while lying down. In this case, the viewing angle shifts, and the eyes get tired faster. Vision may deteriorate.
- Addiction appears. Regularly falling asleep with the TV on, a person will no longer be able to fall asleep normally without it.
- A flickering and noisy screen interferes with proper rest. Can be a strong hindrance for people with insomnia.
Despite all this, we love TV and we like to watch it before bed. The main thing is not to make a cult out of the screen:
- don't look too long;
- do not make the sound loud, and it is better not to install speakers at all;
- be sure to turn it off as soon as you start to feel sleepy;
- install a plasma in a more or less spacious bedroom;

TV cabinet - features
The most favorite places to install a TV are the bedroom and living room. Both types of rooms allow you to mount an original TV cabinet.

- Take care of the functionality of the closet. If, in addition to the TV, you can place a sufficient amount of clothes and things in it, this will benefit you first of all;
- It is advisable to center this cabinet. This will provide a good view from any part of the room.
Types of sliding wardrobes
There are two main types of sliding wardrobes - built-in and cabinet. Built-in occupies space from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. In this option, you don’t have to make walls - neither side nor back, you can do without a floor and ceiling. You just need to install sliding doors for the wardrobe, and then assemble the filling. True, this is only possible if you have a flat floor and ceiling, as well as side walls - all errors are greatly reflected in the appearance, and unevenness of the floor and ceiling will interfere with the normal operation of the roller system.
A sliding wardrobe is a full-fledged cabinet furniture with walls, floor and ceiling. It can also be made from wall to wall, or as long as you need. The disadvantage is the higher cost due to the high consumption of materials.
One of the options for a corner wardrobe in the bedroom. With this layout, you will be able to use a corner that is usually not used at all.
A corner wardrobe for a bedroom is one of the types of cabinet furniture. But it is distinguished as a separate type due to its design features and selection of filling. They are beneficial because they occupy space that is very, very difficult to use in any other way.
