Features of choosing a TV

Several criteria that are taken into account when choosing equipment:

  • First of all, pay attention to the size of the kitchen. For a small room, a small TV is suitable; in a room with sufficient area, you can place a device with a serious diagonal. For example, a large TV or plasma panel is ideal for a combined kitchen. This way, the screen will be clearly visible from the living room or dining room.
  • Another important nuance is the correct viewing angle. The image of the TV screen should be visible from all sides, without reflecting or glaring. The larger the viewing angle, the more expensive the product.
  • Selection of the type of fasteners. For example, if the TV needs to be placed in a kitchen set, built-in models are preferred. If possible, ceiling options are purchased, the TV is installed in the kitchen on a shelf or other dedicated surfaces.
  • You should choose models that provide a high-quality picture. To do this, carefully study the technical specifications specified in the documents that come with the TV set.
  • The TV should have a beautiful design, fit harmoniously into the kitchen environment and match the furniture and accessories. Otherwise, the TV will look like an alien element.
  • Devices from branded brands are distinguished by higher quality and a long service life. You can purchase a model with convenient additional functions such as Smart TV, USB or Wi-Fi.

What is important to consider when placing a TV?

When choosing a location, you need to take into account that the TV is not exposed to sunlight. It is not advisable to hang the appliance close to the oven or above the stove, as the hot air will significantly worsen the condition of the equipment. The TV model should also be located at a distance from the sink so that splashes do not fall on the screen.

The shelf with the TV should be located away from such devices as a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and other equipment that create vibration.

A good solution is to hang a TV with a swivel bracket in the kitchen. This mount is easy to install and allows you to easily change the angle. It is recommended to purchase a bracket that matches the color of the TV device.

The optimal height for installing a TV is considered to be a place in the middle of the wall at the eye level of the person sitting or standing in front of the screen.

The best placement options

The most advantageous places and useful tips for TV placement.

A kitchen with a TV on the refrigerator

Is the simplest, but not always feasible solution since modern refrigeration units are quite high. When watching TV, a person has to lift his head up a lot.

In addition, such placement is completely impractical. It is not recommended to install a TV on a refrigerator. Because of this, negative consequences may arise, for example, increased energy consumption and a negative impact of the energy field on products. There is also a high probability that the refrigerator may break down.

TV built into the kitchen unit

It can be either an open or a hidden system with the device hidden behind the cabinet doors or inside a tall cabinet. This option for placing a TV in the kitchen is acceptable for classic interiors or Provence-style designs. So a modern TV device will not disturb the integral design of the kitchen space.

Ideas for placing a TV on the wall

Popular options for where you can hang a TV in the kitchen.

Above the kitchen table

Not a very good, and also uncomfortable example of placing a TV in the kitchen. In this case, the device is hung too close, which has a detrimental effect on vision.

Here it is important to calculate the height of the TV installation above the dining table. The equipment is placed low so that a person does not have to lift his head too much to watch while eating, but only slightly lifts his chin.

Above the door

With a limited number of square meters in the kitchen, it is appropriate to hang the TV model above the entrance doorway. To avoid neck stiffness while watching, the screen is tilted slightly downwards.

In the corner of the kitchen

The TV device is equally well visible from all points of the kitchen and takes up a minimum amount of space. The only downside that can arise with a corner location is the light coming from the window. To avoid such inconveniences, the TV is hung in another corner of the kitchen or the window opening is decorated with blinds or thick curtains.

TV in a niche in the kitchen

One of the best options for placing a TV in the kitchen is a wall niche. This way the interior gets a stylish and unusual look. It should be noted that such a solution is only suitable for spacious rooms; in a small kitchen it will steal even more free meters.

An effective design technique is to make a small niche above the kitchen table and place a TV in it. Thus, the cooking area is visually separated from the dining segment. With a competent approach to zoning, a medium-sized room looks more spacious.

TV above the hood

A TV device in combination with a kitchen hood fits perfectly into the interior design of any style. Buying a built-in TV model will save space and, unlike a regular wall-mounted appliance, will not require extra caution.

Above the sink

If you have unlimited money, it is appropriate to purchase a waterproof TV, which is placed directly next to the sink.

There is another method, this is a TV built into a niche behind the sink and covered with apron material. This way the device will create a single ensemble with the surrounding design and will be reliably protected from water.

A cheaper option is to purchase a special protective frame made of transparent glass.

TV on the windowsill

Because of direct sunlight, against which it will be uncomfortable to look at the screen, and the heat coming from the battery, it is not advisable to place the equipment on the windowsill. In addition, not all apartments have a wide enough window sill in the kitchen, so the risk of accidentally dropping the TV increases.

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 filled with furniture, it is not easy to find the optimal place to place a TV. It is not recommended to place the TV on the worktop, as this will steal space and interfere with comfortable cooking.

When designing a kitchen set, it is preferable to provide a special niche for a built-in TV. If this is not possible, it is appropriate to free up one cabinet, remove the doors and place the TV inside.

The room can be supplemented with a compact folding TV, which is mounted in the lower part of the hanging cabinets of the set.
