The TV unit is often the first thing people notice in a living room. A good one hides wires, stores your set-top box and speakers, and makes the whole room look finished. A badly sized one makes even a big hall look crowded. Here is how to choose the right TV unit for your Pune home.
Step 1: Start with your TV size and wall
- Width: choose a TV unit that is at least as wide as your TV, and ideally a little wider, so the TV does not look like it is overhanging.
- Wall space: measure the full wall, including switches, power points and windows, before you choose a design.
- Height: when you sit on the sofa, the middle of the TV screen should be roughly at eye level, so you do not strain your neck.
- Wall-mounted TV? Make sure the wall can hold the TV safely, and plan the unit below or around it.
Step 2: Pick the right type of TV unit
Floor-standing TV unit
A low cabinet that stands on the floor, with drawers or shelves. Easy to place, good for rented flats and simple to move when you shift home.
Wall-mounted (floating) TV unit
Fixed to the wall, leaving the floor below open. It looks modern and makes small living rooms in 1 BHK and 2 BHK flats feel bigger, and it is easier to clean under.
Full TV wall unit
Covers more of the wall with a back panel, shelves and cabinets. It turns the TV area into a feature wall and gives lots of storage for books, show pieces and photo frames. Best for larger halls.
Step 3: Plan storage and wires
- Open shelves for the set-top box, Wi-Fi router and sound bar, so remote signals and air can reach them.
- Closed drawers or cabinets to hide remotes, cables, chargers and other small things.
- Cable holes at the back, so no wires hang down the wall.
- Display shelves for plants, photos and show pieces.
Step 4: Choose a finish that suits your room
- Walnut and wood finishes: warm and classic, and they match most sofas.
- Marble look: rich and modern, a popular choice for a premium feel.
- White or light colours: make a small living room feel bigger and brighter.
- LED or warm lighting: soft lights in the back panel or shelves create a lovely look in the evening.
Tip: match your TV unit with your center table for a planned, put-together living room.
