Options for placing a TV in the kitchen

A kitchen is a room that must be practical, functional and comfortable. To make the atmosphere here more pleasant and welcoming, many people decide to find a separate seat for their TV. It fits easily into kitchen interiors filled with appropriate utensils and household appliances. Today we will find out where you can put a TV set and what you need to pay attention to when choosing it.

A TV in the kitchen is a great solution. Many people prefer this addition to the kitchen interior. Fortunately, today you can find a lot of different models of such equipment on sale. There are a number of things to consider when choosing the perfect TV.

It is generally accepted that it is convenient and comfortable to look at monitors with a diagonal of more than 20 inches, maintaining a distance of 2-3 meters... If the screen diagonal is even smaller and is only 15 inches, then in this case the distance should be at least 1.5-2 meters. Based on these parameters, it is worth choosing a TV for kitchens of certain areas. For example, if we are talking about a room with an area of ​​15 sq. m, for her it is better to choose a device with a screen diagonal of 14 inches.

It is also important to take into account the viewing angle of the selected instance. This parameter demonstrates the angle at which you can look at the screen so that there are no image distortions, glare and other defects. It is recommended to select a movable bracket for the kitchen TV, because on rare occasions people spend time in the kitchen, sitting in one place.

Modern LCD models have a simpler and weaker viewing angle than plasma or LED devices. But one should not rely solely on the characteristics indicated by the manufacturers of the equipment.

It is advisable to pay attention to the volume of the selected device. In the same living room, the background noise is much less, but in the kitchen there is plenty of it: this is a working hood, and cabinet doors slamming, and a working multicooker, a microwave oven. All of these factors will cause unnecessary noise that can block the sound of the TV. It is important to consider this when choosing a specific model.

When choosing the perfect TV for the kitchen, it is important to consider all of its characteristics and parameters. Let's take a look at a small list of the types of these devices.

• Liquid crystal... Reliable and inexpensive models, but not always suitable for the kitchen space due to the nature of the matrix. A really clear and beautiful picture on such screens can only be observed from a certain angle.

• Plasma. Buying a modern plasma model, the consumer gets a picture of remarkable quality, which will not be refracted and distorted at different angles. However, LED screens have quite a few drawbacks. They are expensive, not considered durable, weigh a lot, are difficult to install on the wall and get very hot.

• Embedded models. These types of TVs are seamlessly built into a headset cabinet or pencil case. Such devices are supplemented with a high-quality cooling system, so the back wall in them does not heat up when in an enclosed space. It is recommended to buy built-in TVs for small kitchens, where there is not a lot of free space. Such options are more expensive than standard ones.

Also, when choosing a TV for the kitchen, you should consider and its functionality. Some people prefer to install such a technique so that it works as a "background". Others, however, use all the provided configurations and for them it is important the presence of a USB port, tuner, high-quality digital picture, Smart-TV function. You should decide in advance on how exactly you plan to use the TV in the kitchen and what functions you want to see in this device. Only after that is it worth going to the store to buy the perfect model.

Before looking for a place to place a TV, you need to familiarize yourself with a number of simple rules, which will avoid serious errors in the operation and installation of equipment.

• Do not fix the TV near the refrigerator. Vibrations from refrigeration equipment are bad for other electronics.
• The screen must be located at least 60 cm from the stove. This should be borne in mind.
• In no case should the TV be installed near the sink. Such a technique must necessarily be located at least half a meter away from it.
• If we are talking about a small TV, its distance from a person's eyes should be at least 1.5 m, and if the screen is large, then this indicator should be at least 2.5 m.
• It is recommended to install the TV in the kitchen in such a way that there is always an air flow to it. Otherwise, the equipment will not receive adequate cooling and will overheat, and this is not good. In many cases, the equipment has to be mounted on a special bracket.
• The height of the TV set from the floor is important. The top of the device should be flush with the eyes of the household.If the screen will be contemplated by the hostess preparing lunches and dinners, then it can be set a little higher, and if the TV will be used for watching TV programs and movies while eating, then it must be fixed below.

There are different ways to install a TV in your kitchen. It is allowed to hang it on an unoccupied wall, place it on a flat surface of the cabinet in the corner - there are many solutions. When choosing a specific location for placing the device, it is important to take into account the design of the kitchen. The TV should organically blend into the atmosphere, emphasize the style of the interior.

One of the most popular and fashionable today are TVs built into kitchen sets (angular or rectangular). Usually such equipment is fixed next to the dishwasher and other devices necessary in the kitchen.

With this arrangement, the system can be made both open and closed by hiding the equipment behind the cabinet doors. Such a solution will be especially relevant in an interior designed in classic or Provencal styles. In such circumstances, modern technology will look disharmonious, but if you hide it, then it will definitely not spoil the overall picture.

Placing the TV over the kitchen table is not the most successful. If you resort to the specified solution, you will not be able to see it comfortably during a meal, because it will be located too close to the eyes of household members... It can also have a negative effect on people's eyesight.

Many people are interested in whether it is possible to install a TV above the refrigerator in the kitchen. This solution cannot be called the most successful and practical. Moreover, it is not recommended to put the TV on the very surface of the refrigerator. This can lead to such negative consequences:

• increased consumption of electrical energy;
• high probability of failure of both the refrigerator and the TV;
• negative influence of the energy field on the quality of products.

Instead of placing a TV of any model on top of the refrigerator, it is better to turn to other options for placing equipment... For example, you can choose this type of refrigeration equipment, which provides a separate niche for other devices, or it is possible to fix the TV above the refrigerator on the bracket (however, in this case, the screen will be too high).

There are other places in the kitchen space where the TV can be placed.

• Under the ceiling. This solution is optimal if the kitchen is too small and households are used to dining in the living room or in a separate dining room. If people, on the contrary, are accustomed to while away enough time at the kitchen table, then this method will not work, since the technique will be too high. Installing the TV under the ceiling is best for hostesses preparing food in the kitchen.

• From below. If you use a similar technique, the screen will attract a lot of attention, look more interesting and original.

• On the wall opposite the dining area. This is the best and most common solution. In this case, it will be very convenient for households to eat and watch TV at the same time.

• Above the headset. It is possible to hang the TV over furniture where there are no mezzanines. If the furniture set does not provide for upper cabinets, then such a solution will also be appropriate.

• In the corner. If we are talking about organizing a small-sized kitchen space, then you can turn to installing a TV in the corner. The main advantage of this placement is an excellent view of the screen from all angles.

• Headset on the surface. If the kitchen set is of sufficient size and length, then on its surface you can place not only devices for preparing food and drinks, but also a TV.

• On a special shelf. Not a bad and practical solution for the kitchen space. Many people use this type of TV placement in their kitchens. This option is especially relevant when a custom-made headset is purchased. Sometimes the shelf is made separately from the main furniture set. In this case, it is important to ensure that this component is in harmony with the rest of the furniture in the interior.

The kitchen is one of the most important and most visited rooms in any home. Everything here should be useful, harmonious and attractive. Many people decide to put a TV here, choosing the best place for it.

If the TV is installed exclusively for the hostess who wants to be distracted by it while cooking, then the equipment can be installed at a high height and directly above the dining area with a table and chairs. A similar solution is suitable for a room of any size. So, on 30 squares, you can place a straight cream-colored set, a glass round table and high beige chairs with dark wooden legs. Above the last components, you should hang a medium-sized TV.

In the large and spacious kitchen with multi-level white ceilings and wooden floors, a wide TV can be hung above the work surface, located above the built-in oven, away from the dining area.

In the 7 square meter kitchen, a small TV can be placed on a separate shelf in the corner of the L-shaped white headset. You can dilute the whiteness with an apron made of tiles of different colors.
