Types of wardrobes with a niche for a TV
A sliding wardrobe with a niche for a TV helps to properly organize the space of the living room and bedroom. It is made from different materials and has a variety of configurations. Therefore, there is a large choice for owners of compact and spacious apartments. There are several types of wardrobes.
Hull
This is a standard design where the internal shelves, side walls, bottom and surface are fixed to the frame. Door leaves move horizontally along two guides. Furniture can be moved.
Case model
Built-in
In these structures, the role of the side walls, bottom and surface is played by the walls, floor and ceiling. Internal shelves and sections are attached to the walls, and the guides along which the door leaves move are attached to the ceiling and floor.
Cons: the built-in wardrobe cannot be moved to another place.
Built-in wardrobe
Semi-built
This model is missing some body elements. The cabinet can have only one side wall or a side and a back wall. In this case, they often do without a niche, placing the TV at the desired angle.
Semi-built-in wardrobe
Modular
A modular wardrobe is a set of pieces of furniture, cabinets and stands, assembled together and made in the same style.
One of the side cabinets next to the niche may be wider, the other a little narrower
The most standard option is assembled from three parts: two side sections behind the canvases and open shelving with drawers in the middle.
Angular
Corner designs utilize often unused space near the door. The interior will look better and not overload the room if high sections with closed canvases are placed at the entrance, and open shelving is closer to the window.

Varieties
There are several main types of wardrobes with a niche for a TV:
- cabinet - such products usually occupy an entire wall (significant dimensions cause an increase in the cost of the furniture structure), but they can be moved because they have a frame of walls and a base, which gives the furniture the necessary strength. Cabinet models are equipped with compartment doors that cover the side compartments, and the central part of the structure with niches for a TV and other items (souvenirs, photo frames, vases) remains open;
- built-in - such models are located in special niches and take up a minimum of space, since they include only sliding doors, shelves and compartments without an external casing (this reduces the cost of the product). Built-in wardrobes can significantly save space, but if you need to rearrange the product, the product will have to be completely disassembled and then reassembled in a new place;
- semi-built-in - semi-built-in wardrobes with space for a TV lack some of the body elements (only the side, or side and rear walls). This form allows you to install furniture even without a niche; it is enough to choose a suitable angle for it;
- modular - structures of this type consist of several sections that can be combined in any convenient way. You can also supplement an existing set with new elements, for example, combining a regular straight cabinet with a corner one. This creates additional space for things, and the design takes on a finished look.
Any of the above models of a wardrobe with a TV may be the most suitable for a particular room design option. You just need to decide exactly what result you need and, based on this, make your choice.

There are also disadvantages. Sliding panels are noisy, and if you choose cheap fittings, they quickly break down.
Advantages and disadvantages
Sliding wardrobes with a niche for a TV have a number of advantages in comparison with products of a similar type:
- capacity;
- compactness (saving usable space);
- availability of a special place for the TV (niche with bracket, cabinet, shelf, chest of drawers);
- stylish appearance;
- ease of installation;
- variety of sizes, shapes, colors, facade design options, materials and components used in the manufacture of cabinets;
- the ability to manufacture a cabinet in accordance with the wishes of the owner (in the standard design of a compartment model with space for a TV, you can additionally include special shelves for a music center or home theater);
- visual increase in the volume of the room due to mirrors (if you select the appropriate model);
- masking defects in wall surface finishing, dividing the room into zones (if appropriately positioned).
Sliding wardrobes with a niche for a TV are well suited not only for the living room, but also for the bedroom or other rooms, but we still cannot remain silent about some of the disadvantages of such designs:
- if the product was installed incorrectly, then the elements involved in the process of opening the valves will quickly wear out;
- parts of the sliding mechanism require regular maintenance (cleaning, tightening fasteners);
- in cases where an embedded model has been selected, difficulties arise when moving it.
People purchasing sliding wardrobes should take into account not only their positive characteristics, but also points that require special attention.
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
In this case, they are mounted on the cabinet wall.
With wall-mounted TV
To do this, the necessary space is left in the furniture, surrounded by shallow shelving.
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.
Bedroom
A TV in the bedroom is also not uncommon. Many people like to watch a movie before going to bed or on weekends to lie in bed longer watching their favorite show. In this case, a built-in TV is a good solution. For example, you can place a TV on the front of a wardrobe or choose a model built into a mirror. When turned off, the built-in TV will simply be invisible. By the way, you can integrate your screen at a height convenient for viewing while lying down - even on the ceiling (and no longer strain your neck and eyes).

An ordinary TV is quite difficult to fit harmoniously into the interior of a bedroom, but integrated into a mirror or into the glass facade of a closet it is quite possible.
How to choose a wardrobe for a room
Things to consider:
- Dimensions and type of TV. The niche should be slightly larger than the parameters of the TV. They also pay attention to how the TV will look against the background of the cabinet design. Too bright colors can irritate your eyesight and interfere with watching TV.
- Accessories. It is worth paying attention to environmental friendliness, practicality, wear resistance of materials and accessories.
- Internal filling. In order to use every m2 usefully, carefully consider the purpose of the wardrobe sections, shelving and drawers.
- Interior style and room parameters. The design of the facade is selected to match the overall design of the room and existing furniture. Light, glossy, mirrored furniture or a maximum of open shelving will make the room visually more spacious. For the bedroom it is better to choose ones with closed canvases in muted shades.
- Dimensions. Take into account the width and height of the wall where the wardrobe will be placed. There must be at least 50 cm of free space in front of sections with drawers.
Decor
After the wall has been selected and placed in the room, all that remains is to complete the finishing touches and think over the original design, in which the furniture and the entire furnishings of the room would merge into one style. To beautifully decorate the space on the sides of the structure, you can hang framed posters, collages, paintings or stylish photos.
Mini walls enclosed in a frame made of wooden or bamboo planks or wood look unusual. Also, during repair work, it is recommended to cover the wall near which the module is planned to be installed with photo wallpaper or canvas with original patterns, so that it looks contrasting against the background of the furniture. If there is an open niche in the wall where the TV will be placed, then you can paste wallpaper with flowers on the wall behind it.

Shape and dimensions
The size and shape of the cabinet must correspond to the size and characteristics of the use of the room. The following types of construction exist:
- Square. As a rule, low compact cabinets have this shape.
- Rectangular. The most common option, used for many types of furniture. The height of the entire structure can reach the ceiling; the TV itself is located at a level of 50-60 cm from the floor.
- Triangular. Such cabinets are installed in a corner. They are compact, do not take up much space in the room, and are clearly visible from anywhere in the room.
- Rounded. Products of this shape are a type of triangular models. This cabinet has a characteristic convex facade, which makes it more stylish and impressive. Visually, they look more massive and spacious, although in fact they are not much larger in volume than triangular samples.
The dimensions of the cabinet are chosen so that it can fit in the room, while leaving enough free space. If the space of the room allows, you can choose large, roomy sets. For small rooms, compact samples (usually wall slides) are suitable. It is also important to take into account the size of the niche so that all equipment fits freely into it. As a rule, they proceed from the size of the area where the cabinet will be installed, as well as from the size of the TV. Most manufacturers make the niches large enough, but sometimes, in addition to the TV, they plan to install an audio system. In such cases, you need to measure the dimensions of the equipment, fold them, add a few centimeters for wires and other additional elements.

TV placement options
Sliding wardrobe with a niche for a TV
When designing a wardrobe with a niche for a TV, you can choose the following options:
- Central element. The niche is organized strictly in the center. Under it there is a section with drawers or a cabinet built into the closet. It looks very organic. It can be closed with movable doors or be open. Sometimes a special slot is made in the doors that opens the TV screen even when the doors are closed;
- With side extension. The principle is the same, but the equipment is placed in a special side module;
- Angular. Not the best option. The niche will take up the lion's share of the useful space of the closet. The review is unlikely to be good. But it looks original.
Don't make the niche too high. The screen should not rise higher than a standard cabinet would. If violated, you will experience color and viewing difficulties.
If you plan to mount it to a wall, you will need a special bracket. In any case, you need to organize free access for wires and provide a working outlet near the niche.
The equipment will require air circulation. Try not to overload the niche section with things. Plan shelves there for decor or books. Regular overheating will not only damage the equipment, but can also result in a fire.
TV on the front of the wardrobe
Not all modern TVs can work well in niches. A striking example is plasma models. They need to be placed on the facade. Let's make a reservation right away - there are weight restrictions. If the TV weighs more than 5 kg, then it can only be attached to the sides.
To do this, you will need a bracket with tilt adjustment. You will have to drill the facade doors for the wires. It's no secret that kinks in cables very quickly disable them. Your task is to hide all technological holes with the TV panel.
To properly design a cabinet and facade system, buy all the equipment that you plan to place in it before you design and order furniture.
Don't hesitate to ditch the plastic rollers. Adding to the weight of the TV screens will kill them even faster. And they rarely survive the first year of operation. Learn to open doors smoothly. Jerking will also not benefit the technique. Always ensure that no foreign objects fall onto the bottom rail. This may result in the door falling, and therefore the screen. The best are Teflon rollers or those coated with hardened composite polymers. They will serve you for a long time and without problems.
Technologies make it possible to “recess” the screen into the thickness of the facade. Be sure to consult with the experts. Not all technology will react positively to this. If the option suits you, then you will need to make a special recess on the doors. Also, the bracket must be strong enough.
Types and arrangement of facades of sliding wardrobes for TV - what to consider
When planning the installation of a sliding wardrobe with a TV, pay attention to the reliability of the door system:
- Mounted. This is something to avoid. The top stop is too unreliable. Sliding doors are prone to falls and distortions;
- Hanging. The load is distributed in half between the guides. There is more reliability, but it is also not enough to hang equipment on the facade. It is quite suitable for a closed niche;
- With side profile. Exactly what is needed. The doors are rigid enough not to deform during operation. The rollers are equipped with stoppers and smooth running closers. The profile simultaneously plays the role of external fittings. Bottom stop. The upper carriage only supports the direction of travel;
- Coplanar. "Bourgeois" option. A modern system where the rollers have been replaced with movable side mounts. The sash must be slightly pulled out towards you and then moved to the side. When closed, the doors form a perfectly even row. Very reliable and durable. This option cannot be installed in built-in cabinet models.
Designs of sliding cabinets for TV
There are several types of TV cabinets:
- Corpus. They have their own full-fledged frame, which gives the cabinet stability and rigidity. Installed along the walls. Traditional option. Well suited for TVs of any size, subject to the basic rules;
- Built-in. They are deprived of their own building, the role of which is played by the walls of the hall or bedroom. With a simultaneous increase in reliability and stability, all plasma models that do not tolerate overheating immediately fall out. When installed, such furniture is recessed into a niche, which is not suitable for plasma. However, room space is saved significantly. LED and LCD screens easily tolerate this.
Material of manufacture
Modern manufacturers offer a large number of both traditional and modern materials.
Natural massif
A wall made of natural solid wood is considered the most expensive, but of very high quality. It carries respectability and commitment to tradition. More often used in classical or oriental style interiors. High cost is a guarantee of quality. The following tree species are used: beech, oak, mahogany, rosewood, walnut. More affordable options: pine, alder, birch. It is worth noting that furniture made of natural wood has a significant mass. When caring, you need to keep in mind that the tree is afraid of high humidity, and also cannot tolerate high temperatures.
Combined materials
In a combination of materials. So, MDF or chipboard boards are used for the frames, and the facades are made of natural wood. Facades are also made by combining modern and traditional materials: glass and wood, plastic and MDF, metal and glass, aluminum and plastic. Such combinations are popular for minimalist, hi-tech, and modern styles.
Recommendations for choosing a wardrobe for a TV
When calculating a niche, consider the following features:
- It should be bigger than the TV. The tight size will disrupt natural air cooling. All TVs do not like overheating;
- Remoteness of batteries and heaters. This applies to all options and is a general requirement;
- Buy appliances before designing the cabinet. This will save you from annoying surprises and the need for adjustments;
- There should be a gap between the wall and the screen. Sensitive modern cables react negatively to kinks. And many TVs provide for the wires to be output strictly backwards;
- When measuring the screen, take into account all parameters. This applies to diagonal and depth. Many consider this to be unimportant, and subsequently struggle with finishing touches.
Photos of wardrobes with TV
A TV in the living room can become not only an element of leisure and entertainment, but also a stylish highlight. All you have to do is emphasize its uniqueness while maintaining the harmony of the style.
Kitchen
The housewife is not averse to turning on the TV as a background while cooking, and the household members are not averse to watching something together during dinner. At the same time, the problem of lack of space for a TV often arises - the space is occupied by furniture and household appliances. What’s easier: install the TV in the doors of wall cabinets or on the wall - for example, in a kitchen “apron”. Perhaps someone is stopped by the fact that the screen can get dirty during cooking? But TVs integrated into glass panels are easy and convenient to clean. At the same time, they are not afraid even of the heat from the hob.
