Choosing the Perfect Bespoke TV Stand: A Guide by Dan Tipper Custom Wood
When it comes to selecting the perfect bespoke TV stand, several factors come into play. A custom-made TV stand not only elevates the aesthetic of your living space but also ensures functionality tailored to your specific needs. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you choose the best design, style, hardwood type, and correct sizing for your bespoke TV stand.
Choosing a Design or Style
The design or style of your bespoke TV stand should complement your existing decor. Here are some popular styles to consider:
Modern: Sleek lines, minimalistic design, and often a combination of wood and metal.
Rustic: Features distressed wood, a natural finish, and a cozy, farmhouse appeal.
Traditional: Ornate details, rich wood tones, and classic craftsmanship.
Industrial: Combines wood with metal accents, often featuring raw, unfinished looks.
At Dan Tipper Custom Wood, we specialise in crafting unique TV stands that reflect your personal style. Whether you prefer a modern minimalist look or a rustic charm, we can create a piece that perfectly matches your vision.
Selecting the Right Hardwood
Choosing the right hardwood is crucial for durability and aesthetics. Here are some excellent options for bespoke TV stands, with a focus on British hardwoods:
Oak: Known for its strength and attractive grain, oak is a popular choice for its durability and timeless appeal.
Walnut: Offers a rich, dark color and intricate grain patterns, adding a touch of luxury.
Cherry: Features a smooth texture and rich, warm tones that deepen over time.
Maple: Provides a light, clean look with a subtle grain, perfect for modern designs.
Olive Wood: Unique and rare, olive wood stands are stunning with their distinctive grain patterns and hues, offering a luxurious feel.
Ash: Light in color with a prominent grain, ash is strong and flexible, ideal for contemporary designs.
Beech: Smooth and light-colored, beech is durable and has a fine, even texture.
Elm: Known for its interlocking grain, elm is strong and resistant to splitting, making it a great choice for rustic and traditional styles.
Sycamore: Light and creamy in color, sycamore offers a smooth texture and is perfect for intricate designs.
Yew: Beautifully figured with rich colors and unique patterns, yew is excellent for making standout pieces.

Sizing Your TV Stand Correctly
Getting the right size for your TV stand is essential for both aesthetics and functionality. Here’s a simple guide to ensure you choose the correct size:
Measure Your TV: Determine the width of your TV . This measurement will guide you in selecting a stand that is at least as wide as your TV or slightly wider for stability and balance.
Consider Height: The ideal height for your TV stand allows the center of your screen to be at eye level when seated. This number can then worked out with the TV size to work out the next height for your screen.
Depth Matters: Ensure the depth of the TV stand can accommodate your TV base and any additional components like soundbars or gaming consoles. A depth of around 40-50 cm is usually sufficient.
For example, if you have a 140 cm (55 inch) TV, a stand that is at least 140 cm wide and 40-50 cm deep would be suitable. Custom sizing is a hallmark of Dan Tipper Custom Wood, ensuring your stand fits perfectly in your space.
