You Won’t Believe How a Custom TV Unit Transforms Your Room

Why Invest in a Custom TV Unit?

A custom tv unit does more than hold your screen: it optimises space, offers bespoke storage and complements your décor. Off-the-shelf furniture often leaves gaps or looks out of place. A tailored solution ensures every centimetre is used effectively.

  • Perfect dimensions: A custom tv unit matches your wall width and ceiling height exactly.

  • Storage to suit you: Choose open shelves for consoles or concealed drawers for cables.

  • Personalised style: From minimalist bespoke tv unit design to more detailed finishes, you decide the final look.

Planning Your Custom TV Unit

Measure Twice, Order Once

Accurate measurements are crucial when ordering a custom tv unit:

  1. Screen size plus allowance: Leave at least 10 cm extra on either side for air circulation.

  2. Optimal viewing distance: Aim for three times the diagonal measurement of your TV.

  3. Room layout: Note windows, radiators or doors that could interfere.

  4. Cable access: Plan for holes or removable panels to keep wiring neat.

Define Your Storage Needs

Every living room has individual requirements. Think about:

  • Media devices: Will you house a DVD player, game console or soundbar?

  • Decor items: Do you want space for framed photos or small indoor plants?

  • Reading materials: How many books or magazines need a home?

  • Clutter control: Would you prefer a made-to-order tv console with drawers?

Choosing Materials and Finish

Timber, MDF or Metal?

  • Solid timber offers strength and natural character but at a higher cost.

  • MDF with veneer gives a smooth finish ready for paint.

  • Metal accents create an industrial edge and sturdy frame.

Surface Treatments

  • Oil-based varnish highlights wood grain and resists spills.

  • Paint allows bold or muted tones to match your scheme.

  • Laminate is easy-care and comes in various textures.

Design Ideas to Inspire You

Floating Entertainment Centre

A wall-mounted design opens floor space, ideal for compact rooms. A custom tv unit kept off the ground makes cleaning easier and lends an airy feel.

Key features:

  • Magnetic doors that stay flush

  • Integrated LED strip lighting

  • Adjustable shelves for gadgets

Corner-Fitted Cabinet

Rooms aren’t always square with a clear focal point. A tailored tv cabinet that slots into a corner makes use of awkward areas. Choose angled shelves or wrap-around cupboards for a neat result.

Advantages:

  • Maximises unused corners

  • Offers varied shelf depths

  • Keeps foot traffic flowing freely

Media Wall with Built-In Storage

Combine your custom tv unit with display niches or bookcases. A full-height media wall holds everything from your screen to art pieces, creating a striking focal point.

Elements to consider:

  • Vertical slat panelling to break up expanses

  • Base-level drawers for concealed storage

  • Contrasting backboard material

How to Work with Your Furniture Maker

Communicate Clearly

Share floor plans, photos and inspiration images. Specify needs for each compartment. If possible, review physical finish samples.

Review Detailed Drawings

Ask for CAD or hand-drawn sketches showing all angles. Verify dimensions before approving the final plan to ensure your tailored tv cabinet fits perfectly.

Agree on Timelines and Budget

A made-to-order tv console often takes several weeks from design to delivery. Set clear deadlines and payment stages to avoid delays.

Installation Tips

  1. Professional mounting: Hire a qualified tradesperson for heavy or wall-hung units.

  2. Levelling: Check horizontality to prevent door misalignment.

  3. Cable management: Fit trunking or raceways during installation for a seamless look.

  4. Final seal: If required, apply a finishing coat on timber surfaces once the unit is in place.

Maintenance and Care

A custom tv unit can last for decades with simple upkeep:

  • Dust weekly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

  • Avoid harsh cleaners; use a mild detergent solution.

  • Inspect moving parts like hinges or sliders every few months.

  • Repair scratches promptly with a matching touch-up kit.

Long-Term Benefits

Investing in a custom tv unit yields rewards over time:

  • Durability: Quality materials and craftsmanship outlast mass-produced alternatives.

  • Flexibility: Future-proof with modular inserts or adjustable shelving.

  • Increased appeal: Homebuyers value fitted furniture that saves space and looks cohesive.
