In contemporary homes, a TV unit is no longer just a piece of furniture—it is the visual anchor of the living room. The right TV unit brings balance to the space, conceals everyday clutter, and complements the architecture and furniture around it.


Choosing the perfect TV unit requires more than matching finishes or picking a popular design. It’s about understanding proportions, storage needs, materials, and how the unit integrates into your lifestyle.


Here’s a practical yet design-led guide to help you make the right choice.



1. Start With the Size of Your Living Room

Before considering style or material, evaluate the scale of your space.

  • In compact living rooms, wall-mounted or floating TV units help free up floor area and keep the room visually light.

  • In larger living spaces, floor-standing or extended wall units can create a strong focal point without feeling heavy.

A well-proportioned TV unit should extend slightly wider than the television screen, allowing room for visual balance and functional storage without overwhelming the wall.


2. Decide Between Wall-Mounted or Floor-Standing TV Unit

Both styles have distinct advantages, and the choice depends on your layout and lifestyle.

Wall-mounted TV units

  • Ideal for modern and minimalist interiors

  • Create a clean, clutter-free look

  • Make floor cleaning easier

Floor-standing TV units

  • Offer higher storage capacity

  • Work well in traditional or transitional interiors

  • Easier to relocate or modify in the future

Many homeowners today prefer modular solutions that combine floating panels with base storage, offering flexibility and visual lightness.


3. Choose a Design That Complements Your Interior Style

Your TV unit should feel like an extension of your interior language, not an afterthought.

  • Minimal interiors benefit from clean lines, handle-less shutters, and neutral finishes.

  • Warm, contemporary homes pair beautifully with wood veneers and soft matte textures.

  • Statement interiors can accommodate fluted panels, textured back panels, or integrated lighting.

At A&A Modular Systems, TV units are designed as architectural elements—crafted to align with the overall rhythm of the space rather than standing apart from it.


4. Select Materials That Balance Aesthetics and Durability

Material choice plays a key role in both longevity and appearance.

Common options include:

  • Engineered wood with premium laminates for durability and finish consistency

  • Natural veneers for warmth and timeless appeal

  • Matte or textured finishes to reduce fingerprints and glare

A well-crafted TV unit should withstand heat from electronics, resist daily wear, and age gracefully over time.


5. Prioritise Storage Without Visual Clutter

A TV unit must accommodate more than just the screen.

Consider storage for:

  • Set-top boxes and gaming consoles

  • Speakers and routers

  • Remotes, accessories, and everyday items

The most effective designs balance closed storage (to hide clutter) with open shelves (for décor and visual breathing room). Integrated cable management is essential to maintain a clean, uninterrupted look.


6. Think About Viewing Comfort and Placement

Functionality matters as much as form.

  • The TV screen should ideally sit at eye level when seated

  • Ensure adequate distance between seating and screen size

  • Avoid glare from windows or strong lighting behind the TV

Proper placement enhances comfort while preserving the elegance of the space.


7. Customisation Makes All the Difference

Every home is different—and so are its needs.

Custom TV units allow you to:

  • Adjust storage proportions

  • Match finishes with existing furniture

  • Integrate lighting or wall panelling

  • Design around architectural constraints

This approach ensures the unit feels intentional, balanced, and tailored rather than generic.


Final Thoughts

The perfect TV unit is one that quietly supports your lifestyle while enhancing your living room’s design. When chosen thoughtfully, it becomes a seamless part of the space—functional, refined, and enduring.

Whether you prefer a minimal floating unit or a statement wall installation, focusing on proportion, material quality, and smart storage will ensure your TV unit remains timeless.
