Quick answerAs a general rule, a TV console should be roughly as wide as your TV, or slightly wider — for a 55-inch TV, look for a console around 130-150cm wide, with enough depth (40-45cm) for a stable, tip-resistant base.

A console noticeably narrower than the TV looks unbalanced and can be less stable. Aim for a console at least as wide as the TV, ideally a bit wider.
Decide how much closed storage (for set-top boxes, cables) versus open shelving (for decor or a gaming console) you actually need before choosing a design.
A depth of 40-45cm generally gives enough base stability for larger TVs while still fitting comfortably against a living-room wall.
