The Best TV Stands You Can Order on Amazon for $300 or Less, According to Interior Designers

Let’s face it: For as much as we depend on them, some media consoles and television stands aren’t very fun to look at or really all that functional either. “No matter what size of space you live in, you want a visually appealing piece of furniture that offers ample storage,” says interior designer Marissa Whitley Tago of The Whitley Company. 

Even if you hang a razor-thin flatscreen TV in your living room or bedroom, some type of table or cabinetry placed right below it will always help to ground it in your space. Problem is these kinds of pieces can often be pricey, too. So if you’re in the market for a stylish television setup that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, read ahead for designer-approved TV stands from Amazon that all come in under $300. 

For a good-looking television stand with both open and closed shelving, Tago recommends the Tangkula Universal TV Stand. “What I love about this particular piece is how modern it feels, due to its clean lines and black finish,” she explains. “The leather pulls give it another layer of detail that makes it look and feel much more expensive, which is always a bonus!”

According to designer Jenelle Lovings, a compact storage cabinet with metallic details can be used as a stylish television stand. “The Nathan James Ellipse Multipurpose Storage Unit has inset doors and an offset layout that create a Mondrian-esque pattern that is fun and unexpected,” she says. “The gold hardware also adds a touch of glam to an otherwise modern piece.”

For a sleek television setup that won’t take up a ton of space in a room, designer Theresa Ory says you can’t go wrong with a simple console. “Fresh curves on clean lines make this console-turned-TV stand a perfect fit for many aesthetics,” she explains. “Add some coffee table books, a succulent or two, and your entertainment upgrade is complete!”

For a less bulky look, designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25 suggests using a small but impactful desk like the BELLEZE Modern Home Office Computer Desk as a TV stand. “To style it, I would place two small ottomans below, use the desk drawers as storage for remotes or coasters, and add a few chic accessories atop to complete the look.”

Turn your television into a work of art with the help of the easel-inspired TechOrbits Portable TV Floor Stand. “This easel-style stand is great if you need a corner placement for your TV or if you need to place your TV in front of a wall of windows,” says designer Michelle Zacks. “The minimal profile still lets in sunlight!”

For a small space-friendly stand that won’t create visual clutter in your living room, Lovings says to look no further than the Christopher Knight Home Bartlet Tempered Glass TV Stand. “I love the fact that this console has an additional shelf, so you have the opportunity to add decor,” she says. “When styling, look for that one statement piece that will set the tone for your space, since the goal is to keep this piece light and airy.”

A wall-mounted television stand with a geometric silhouette can create visual interest in a small living room without taking up an inch of floor space. “I love this TV stand because of its symmetrical design and extra storage options,” says designer Dominique Brielle Fluker of DBF Interiors of the Tribesigns Rustic Wall Mounted TV Shelf. “I would style it by incorporating hardcover books, ceramic vases, succulents, and candles.” There’s also a more modern version of this piece, too, if this more vintage-looking dark wood style isn’t for you.

Designer Carneil Griffin of Griffin Direction Interiors says a television stand in a mix of colors and textures can bring a pop of personality to a living room. “The Manhattan Comfort Liberty Collection Mid Century Modern TV Stand is multi-faceted, so it supplies a blend of modern color and rustic finishes that can help create visual balance in a room,” he explains. If you don’t like yellow, no worries. This style comes in 11 other color and material combinations as well as three different sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your existing decor.
