Tv Stands

Bring the living room look together with a TV stand

While your TV unit’s main job is to house your television, you'd be surprised with just how much more the right one can do. The right design can provide useful storage, help organise your media equipment, and really add to the overall look and feel of your home.

Choose a compact TV stand for a simple setup, or go for a wider TV unit if you need more storage or want to create a focal point on a larger wall. If you have a more open living space, a larger media unit can combine display space and storage in one piece of furniture.

Think about how you use your TV area too. If you regularly play games, watch films, or use a soundbar, look for a unit that gives you easy access to your equipment while keeping cables and accessories organised.

Find convenient TV units with storage and cable management

A TV unit with storage helps keep games consoles, remotes, controllers, and other media essentials organised.

Open shelving gives you easy access to your consoles, speakers, and other equipment, while cupboards and drawers are better suited for keeping cables, games and everyday clutter out of sight.

If you're using several pieces of AV equipment, look for a TV unit with cable cut-outs or openings at the back where available. Make sure there's suitable ventilation around electrical equipment and always follow the manufacturer's guidance for your individual devices.

For additional storage, why not pair your TV unit with living room storage or bookcases to create a fully fledged entertainment area.

Choose from corner, floating, and media TV units

A corner TV unit can make impressive use of an awkward or underused corner, making it a good option for smaller or unusually shaped living rooms.

Floating TV units are another space-conscious option where available. Mounted to the wall, they can create a streamlined look and leave the floor underneath clear.

If you need more storage or want your television to become a central feature of the room, a media unit can combine shelving, cupboards and display space in one piece of furniture.

Choose from different materials and finishes to suit your style. Wooden TV units can add warmth, while white, black and neutral designs can create a clean, contemporary look.

FAQs

How wide should a TV stand be?

Choose a TV stand that's wider than your television. As a useful guide, allow around 5cm to 10cm of additional space beyond each side of the TV for a balanced appearance. Always check the physical width and weight of your television against the TV unit's specifications.

How do I choose a TV unit for my TV size?

Measure the physical width of your TV and compare it with the width and maximum supported weight of the TV unit. Screen size in inches refers to the diagonal measurement, so it isn't a substitute for measuring the television itself.

Are corner TV units good for small living rooms?

A corner TV unit can make use of floor space that might otherwise go unused. Check the dimensions of the corner and surrounding furniture to make sure there's enough room for the unit and comfortable movement around it.
