If you are like many people and prefer to have your tv screen upon a piece of stylish furniture rather than mounted on the wall, then these simple tips for choosing a new tv stand may help. Most of our tv units are roughly around the height of the average sofa seat which means that when you are snuggled up on the couch you don’t have to crane or strain your neck to view your favourite programme, as the screen will be at eye-level. Measure the width of your tv and make sure that the tv cabinet can safely accommodate the screen as well as any speakers or additional AV equipment. However, try not to choose a tv stand that is too wide as this will swamp your tv screen and look out of proportion. Here are a few modern tv units which are new to our range.

Shades of brown are always a popular choice in home decor as they are warm and very versatile. Brown dining chairs are a great middle-ground between light colours like cream or beige and black, which is very trendy but might be too sombre for your colour scheme.

When you think about it, there's isn't any colour that doesn't go with brown! If you want a modern and stylish dining room then go for some brown dining chairs that are simple in their shape and luxurious in their finish.
