16 Swivel TV Ideas for Open Floor Plans (One TV, Every Seat)
Open floor plans are great for everything except the TV. Mount it facing the sofa and the kitchen gets a side view. Angle it for the kitchen and the couch loses.
A 360 degree swivel TV lift cabinet fixes that. The TV rises out of a real piece of furniture, then turns to face whoever is watching. When you are done it lowers out of sight and you get your room back. Every cabinet here is finished on all four sides, so it can float in the middle of a room, and most roll on hidden casters. Here are 16 ideas for where and how to use one, plus a placement checklist at the end.
1. Face the Kitchen Island While You Cook
Dinner prep goes faster with the game on. Park the Azura in Chestnut at the edge of the living area and swing the TV toward the island while you cook, then back toward the sofa once the plates are down. One reviewer called it a game changer, with smooth swivel action and excellent build quality.
2. Use It as a Room Divider Behind the Sofa
In a big great room, a low cabinet behind the sofa defines the living area without a wall. The Azura in Coral Beach does it with style. The finished back looks just as good as the front, and one customer said the paint color is incredible, a work of art.
3. Espresso in a Loft or Condo Living Room
Lofts and condos usually have one big open space and no obvious TV wall. The Azura in Espresso solves that with a TV that can face any direction. A reviewer said it was exactly what they wanted and the lift is incredibly smooth and quiet, a big plus when neighbors share your walls.
4. Rich Brown Between the Living and Dining Room
Put the cabinet on the line where the living and dining areas meet. During the week the TV faces the sofa. On holidays it turns toward the dining table so nobody misses the parade or the game. The Azura in Rich Brown has built-in HDMI and two hidden storage bays.
5. Sonoma Warmth in a Sunroom
Sunrooms have windows on three sides, which means no wall for a TV. A swivel cabinet sits anywhere. The Azura in Sonoma has a clean shape and warm wood tone that loves natural light, and you can angle the screen away from the brightest windows.
6. Crisp White in a Coastal Great Room
White furniture keeps a big coastal great room bright. The Azura in White lifts a 55 inch TV, spins it a full 360 degrees, and hides HDMI ports, a power strip, and two storage bays inside. It is soundbar ready too.
7. A Compact Swivel for a Small Open Plan
Townhomes and small ranches often have an open plan with less floor space to work with. The Edgewater in Medium Brown is only 56 inches wide but still lifts a 55 inch TV and swivels it 360 degrees. Five control methods, including a phone app.

8. Black XL for a Smart Home Media Room
If your house runs on automation, the XL Azura in Black is built for it. It has an RJ-45 port for smart home control, so the lift and swivel can be part of a movie night scene. It hides a 65 inch TV and ships assembled and ready in about 15 minutes.
9. Espresso XL in a Basement Rec Room
Basements often mix a pool table, a bar, and a sectional in one room. The XL Azura in Espresso turns the 65 inch screen toward whichever zone is in use. Lift it with the remote or phone app, then lower it when the room turns into a game night space.
10. Grey XL That Goes With Everything
Not sure what style your room will be in five years? Soft grey is the safe bet. The XL Azura in Grey hides a 65 inch TV, swivels it 360 degrees, and works freestanding, against a wall, or at the end of a bed. Built-in power, HDMI, and wire management keep it tidy.
11. White XL for a Bright Family Room
Family rooms get used for everything: homework, puzzles, movie night. The XL Azura in White keeps the big 65 inch screen out of sight during the day, so the room feels bright and open, then swivels it toward the sofa at night.
12. Farmhouse Grey XL for a Barn Style Great Room
Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and one huge open space. A barn style great room needs a big TV and a way to hide it. The XL Azura in Farmhouse Grey handles TVs up to 65 inches, and two hidden storage bays keep the cable box and game console out of sight.

13. Chestnut XL for a Two Story Living Room
Two story living rooms make wall mounted TVs look tiny and awkward. A 65 inch screen at seated eye level on the XL Azura in Chestnut feels right in the space. A reviewer mentioned the quiet lift and stunning design.
14. Cappuccino Amelia in a Home Office Lounge
A TV in the office is great for video calls on a big screen, presentations, or the news on a lunch break. You just do not want it staring at you all day. The Amelia in Cappuccino raises a 55 inch TV, turns it toward the desk or the lounge chair, and hides it when it is time to focus.
15. Amelia XL in Cappuccino for a Neutral Open Plan
The larger Amelia fits most 65 inch TVs and keeps the same soft cappuccino tone, neutral enough for almost any room. It is handmade by Amish craftsmen with eco friendly, low VOC finishes, and it arrives fully assembled.

16. Honeycomb Amelia XL for a Warm Family Hangout
Big screen, warm wood, full rotation. The Amelia XL in Honeycomb lifts a 65 inch TV and turns it any direction you want, then lowers it out of sight. A 5 year in home warranty option is available for extra peace of mind.

Before You Buy: 5 Tips for Placing a Swivel TV Cabinet
- Find the center of your viewing spots. Sit in each place you will watch from and put the cabinet where it can reach all of them with a turn.
- Pick 55 or 65 inches by distance. The standard Azura, Amelia, and Edgewater fit most 55 inch TVs. The XL versions fit most 65 inch TVs for bigger rooms.
- Plan one outlet. Place the cabinet near an outlet, or add a floor outlet if it will float in the middle of the room.
- Choose a finish for all sides. Every cabinet here is finished on all four sides, so the back looks good from the kitchen or entry.
- Leave room to spin. Make sure the TV can rotate without hitting a lamp, plant, or nearby wall.
