TV Units

TV units, TV stands and media cabinets for modern living rooms

A TV unit creates a dedicated area for your television and media equipment while helping the living room feel more organised. The collection includes modern TV units, low TV stands, media cabinets, TV benches and larger entertainment units, giving you different ways to combine display space, concealed storage and practical surfaces.

Storage layouts vary considerably between designs. Open shelves can keep games consoles, streaming devices and other equipment easy to reach, while drawers and cupboards are useful for remotes, accessories and items you would rather keep out of sight. Where more general living room storage is required alongside the media area, Sideboards provide additional cupboard and drawer space in a wide range of finishes.

Size is particularly important when choosing a TV cabinet. Measure the television, the available wall width and the depth of the space before ordering. A wider TV unit can create a balanced look beneath a larger screen, while slim TV units and compact media stands can work better in smaller living rooms, flats and spaces where clear walking routes are important. Wider models, including designs around 170cm and above, can provide more surface and storage space where the room allows.

Materials and finishes can change the overall feel of the entertainment area. Natural and wood-effect finishes create a warmer look, while white, black and grey units can suit cleaner contemporary interiors. Gloss surfaces introduce a more reflective finish, and some designs combine timber, metal, marble-effect details or contrasting doors and tops to create a more decorative appearance.

Floor-standing and wall-mounted TV units also create different effects. Traditional floor-standing TV cabinets offer a straightforward furniture layout and can provide substantial storage, while floating media units can keep more of the floor visible. Low TV benches are another option when you want a simple horizontal profile beneath the screen. Some larger entertainment units extend the storage area beyond the television itself and can become a more substantial feature within the room.

The furniture surrounding the television also affects how balanced the living room feels. A well-proportioned Coffee Table can help define the seating area in front of the TV unit while providing useful everyday surface space. Consider the distance between the sofa, coffee table and media cabinet so that the room remains comfortable to move through.

If additional vertical storage or display space is needed near the television, Display Cabinets can provide shelving for books, glassware and decorative objects without placing everything around the TV itself. Before ordering any media furniture, also consider nearby doors, radiators, sockets and skirting boards, as well as the access route into the room.

Cable organisation is another practical consideration. Some TV stands include cable openings or space behind the unit for wires, while others rely on open shelving or cupboards to keep equipment organised. Check the individual product specification and dimensions carefully if cable management, ventilation or particular storage features are important for your setup.

FAQs

What size TV unit should I choose?

Measure the width of your television and the available wall space before choosing a unit. A wider TV stand often creates a balanced appearance, but the overall depth and available walking space should also be considered.

What is the difference between a TV unit and a media cabinet?

The terms are often used for similar furniture. A TV unit or TV stand primarily supports or sits beneath a television, while a media cabinet may place greater emphasis on storage for equipment, accessories and other living room items.

Are slim TV units suitable for smaller living rooms?

Yes. Slim and compact TV units can be useful in smaller rooms where floor depth and walking space are limited. Always compare the complete dimensions rather than relying only on the product description.

Should I choose open shelves, drawers or cupboards?

Open shelves keep media equipment easy to access, while drawers and cupboards provide more concealed storage. The best layout depends on the devices, accessories and everyday items you need to store.

Are wall-mounted TV units a good option?

Wall-mounted TV units can create a lighter appearance by keeping more floor visible. Check the product specifications, wall suitability, dimensions and installation requirements before choosing a floating design.
