Like any other space in your home, a clutter-free living room equals a stress-free place where you can easily relax and lounge after a long day at work. When your living space is organised at any time, cleaning becomes a breeze, and weekend gatherings with your friends and family—a frequent practice.
Even if you’re not that organised, decluttering isn’t hard; you just need the right storage unit pieces to store everything you can’t find a place for. For your living room, it’s the TV unit in a modern style–the tallboy to your entry, the wardrobe to your bedroom, the Romeo to your Juliet in the organising world of mess-free spaces where chaos doesn’t have a say.
Why Use a TV Unit?
The exposed wires and cords of your TV monitor, speakers, and game consoles may quickly make a room look ugly. In addition, when not stowed properly, various items such as headphones, CDs, and remote controls can end up all over the place. For this reason, a TV unit or media cabinet is essential in every living room or family room. Because they conceal all disorganised cables and connectors, your entire entertainment setup appears neater and less cluttered.
A TV unit is more than just a spot to put your TV; it can be designed to be a multipurpose piece of furniture that serves as a home bar, bookcase, study space, vanity, and much more. While it offers a suitable location for your gaming consoles, speakers, and other devices you require for your entertainment space, you can keep additional items like books, WiFi routers, or air fresheners in addition to the TV monitor itself on top of the media cabinets for instant living room improvement.
How to Select a TV Unit?
These days you can find different options whether exploring modern TV units online or in-store. Picking the correct style and considering several factors such as unit and TV size, storage, and your living space can help you select the right option for your area.
Pick a Style
Minimalistic and modern TV units prioritising simplicity, clean lines, and functionality are replacing the traditional massive and floor-to-ceiling options we’ve been used to for so many years. Made of high-quality wood, glass and metal, these units offer sleek and understated forms. Whether going for a stripped-down aesthetic with little to no embellishments or a complex design for a more futuristic feel and bold statement, a TV unit in modern style is an excellent pick for the contemporary home.
Consider Size
One of the most crucial aspects to take into account when selecting a TV unit is its size. Without taking up too much space, the unit should be able to handle the size of your TV. A TV unit that is too big might overpower the space and give it a cluttered appearance, while one that is too little will make your TV appear ungainly and out of place. Also, measure your living area to find out how much space you have before purchasing a TV unit. Your living area may feel claustrophobic if you choose a too big piece, and appear strange and out of place if it’s too small. Measure the space where you wish to put your TV set, taking note of its width, height, and depth.
Another important element regarding size and measurements is the unit’s height. For a comfortable viewing experience, position the TV set at eye level while seated. It can be uncomfortable and strain your neck if the console is too high or too low. Make sure the TV unit you select is the appropriate height for the way you are sitting.
Think of Your Living Space
The design of your living area is an important factor when selecting a TV unit. You want to pick a TV set that blends well with your living room’s current design. Select a TV unit that complements the mid-century design of your living room, like a black or walnut TV unit from our Manhattan mid-century furniture collection. Select a TV unit with a coastal design if your living room has a Hamptons aesthetic.
Another important aspect to consider is where you’ll put the piece. Do you want the TV set to blend with the room’s current decor or be the main attraction? Select a console with a striking design if you want it to be the room’s main attraction or one with a more muted appearance if you want it to match the existing décor.
Consider Storage
A modern TV unit shouldn’t only accommodate a TV but can also store other things like games, consoles, and books. Think about the various storage possibilities: Do you prefer cupboards with doors, or do you need open shelves? Do you require room for devices like a game console? Verify that the TV unit you select has adequate storage to suit your requirements.
