Choosing the Right TV Unit Size for Your Space

Selecting the appropriate size TV cabinet is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. As a general rule, your entertainment unit should be approximately 10-20cm wider than your television to create visual balance and ensure stability. For a 65-inch TV (approximately 144cm wide), an 180-200cm unit provides the perfect proportions, while larger 75-85 inch televisions pair beautifully with our 200-280cm options. Don't forget to consider depth as well—most of our units range from 35-45cm deep, which accommodates modern flat-screen TVs while leaving room for soundbars and cable management. If you're working with a smaller lounge room or apartment, our compact 160-180cm designs maximise functionality without overwhelming your space. Measure your wall space carefully and leave at least 10-15cm on either side of the unit for visual breathing room and to allow doors or drawers to open fully.

TV Unit Materials and Finishes Explained

The material and finish of your TV entertainment unit significantly impact both its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Solid hardwoods like American oak and teak represent premium choices, offering exceptional durability, natural beauty, and distinctive grain patterns that develop character over time. These materials are perfect for investment pieces that will serve your home for decades. Our oak TV units bring warmth and organic texture to any space, complementing both modern and traditional interiors. For those seeking contemporary elegance, white and black painted finishes provide versatility and visual impact—white entertainment units create an airy, Scandinavian feel and make rooms appear larger, while black TV cabinets offer sophistication and drama, particularly effective in modern or industrial-style homes. Engineered timber options provide excellent stability and resistance to warping, making them ideal for Australian climates where temperature and humidity fluctuations can affect solid wood. Consider your lifestyle when choosing: families with young children may favour durable, easy-to-clean surfaces, while design enthusiasts might prioritise the authentic character of natural timber.

Entertainment Unit Storage Solutions

Modern living rooms demand smart storage solutions, and today's TV stands deliver far beyond simply supporting your television. Our entertainment units feature thoughtful combinations of open shelving, closed cabinets, and drawers to accommodate everything from gaming consoles and streaming devices to board games, remote controls, and decorative accessories. Open shelving beneath the TV area is ideal for soundbars and media players that require ventilation and easy access, while closed cabinets with soft-close doors conceal clutter and create a streamlined appearance. Many of our designs incorporate cable management systems with discreet holes in the back panel, allowing you to route power cords and HDMI cables neatly out of sight. Adjustable shelving offers flexibility to accommodate devices of varying heights, from compact streaming sticks to larger gaming consoles like PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. Drawers provide secure storage for smaller items like remote controls, cables, instruction manuals, and gaming controllers, keeping your entertainment area organised and functional. When selecting your unit, consider your specific storage needs—avid gamers might prioritise units with multiple open shelves for console ventilation, while minimalists may prefer designs with maximum concealed storage.

Styling Your TV Unit for Maximum Impact

Your entertainment unit serves as a focal point in your living room, so styling it thoughtfully enhances your entire space. Start with the practical elements: position your TV at the optimal viewing height with the screen's centre at eye level when seated (typically 100-120cm from the floor). Arrange your soundbar and streaming devices on open shelves, ensuring adequate ventilation and easy remote access. Once functionality is sorted, layer in decorative elements using the "rule of three"—group objects in odd numbers for visual interest. Coffee table books, ceramic vases, sculptural objects, and framed photographs add personality without overwhelming the space. Indoor plants like devil's ivy, peace lilies, or snake plants introduce life and soften hard edges, while also improving air quality. Consider incorporating subtle lighting—LED strip lights behind the unit or small table lamps on side shelves create ambience for movie nights. Keep the area immediately surrounding your TV relatively minimal to avoid visual distraction during viewing. Coordinate your styling with nearby furniture pieces like your coffee table, sideboard, or bookcase, using similar colours, materials, or decorative objects to create a cohesive, professionally designed look throughout your living room.

FAQs

What size TV unit do I need?

The ideal TV unit should be approximately 10-20cm wider than your television for proper visual balance and stability. For a 55-inch TV (122cm wide), choose a 160-180cm unit. A 65-inch TV (144cm wide) pairs well with a 180-200cm entertainment unit, while 75-85 inch TVs look best on 200-280cm units. Also consider viewing height—your TV screen's centre should be at eye level when seated, typically 40-60cm from the floor for most sofas.

What's the difference between a TV unit and an entertainment unit?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a TV unit typically refers to a simpler stand focused primarily on supporting your television. An entertainment unit is generally larger and more comprehensive, offering additional storage for gaming consoles, media players, books, and decorative items. Entertainment units often feature a combination of open shelving, closed cabinets, and drawers to create a complete media centre that organises your entire entertainment setup.

How do I choose the right sized entertainment unit for my space?

Start by measuring your TV and the available wall space to ensure a proper fit. The unit should be wider than the TV to provide balance and stability—aim for at least 10-20cm of extra width on each side. Consider the depth as well; if your room is narrow, opt for a sleek, space-saving design (typically 35-40cm deep). Ensure there's enough space for storage and ventilation around electronic devices. If you have a larger room, a wider unit (200-280cm) can create a more anchored, substantial look, while compact 160-180cm designs work best in smaller apartments or bedrooms.

Can TV units accommodate soundbars and gaming consoles?

Absolutely! Most modern TV units are designed with contemporary entertainment systems in mind. Look for units with open shelving beneath the TV area—ideal for soundbars that need unobstructed space for optimal acoustics. For gaming consoles like PlayStation 5 or Xbox, ensure adequate ventilation with open shelves or units featuring ventilation holes in the back panel. Cable management systems help keep HDMI cables, power cords, and controller chargers organised and hidden. Our larger entertainment units (200cm+) typically offer multiple compartments perfect for housing all your devices.

How do I style an entertainment unit?

Create a visually appealing setup by balancing functional storage with decorative elements. Use a mix of open shelves and closed cabinets to display items like coffee table books, ceramic vases, and framed photos while keeping cables and remotes neatly stored away. The "rule of three" works beautifully—group decorative objects in odd numbers for visual interest. Add soft lighting with LED strips or table lamps to create ambience. Indoor plants like pothos or snake plants add life and texture. Keep the area around your TV relatively minimal to avoid visual clutter that distracts from viewing.

How do I choose a TV unit that complements my living room furniture?

Your entertainment unit should seamlessly blend with your existing style and colour palette. Consider the material, finish, and design of your coffee table, sofa, and other furniture pieces to ensure a cohesive look. For contemporary spaces, opt for sleek, minimal TV units with clean lines and handleless designs. Wooden units in oak or teak complement Scandinavian, mid-century, or rustic interiors beautifully. White TV cabinets offer versatility and brightness, working well with coastal, Hamptons, or modern farmhouse styles. Match or contrast finishes intentionally—pairing a black entertainment unit with a natural wood coffee table creates striking visual balance.
