The modern TV unit is a statement piece that is often the centrepiece of your living room, and they come in a wide range of styles with diverse sets of features. One feature that immediately sets the extraordinary apart from the mundane is a TV unit with fireplace. The combination of style and key household functionality has made it a highly popular choice for space conscious and sophisticated homeowners in London.
Along with serving the typical purpose of a TV unit, units with a built-in electric fireplace create a cosy and comfortable ambience. Home entertainment is always improved the more comfortable your space is, and there is hardly anything quite so elegant as enjoying a film while a fire quietly blazes, warming the room and creating the perfect mood lighting.
Fireplace TV units come in different styles, colours, materials, finishes and sizes, so here really is something to satisfy almost any taste. Picking through your many options trying to discover the unit that would perfectly complement your home interior may be slightly daunting, but in this feature, we are going to look into some of the most compelling reasons why our designers think these are such excellent additions, and offer some insights into some of the most attractive design options for these TV units.
Certain pieces of furniture have consistently been highly recommended by interior designers of luxury homes for the past half decade. The fireplace TV unit is one of them. Luxury is defined by aesthetic appeal, sophistication, functional excellence, high-end materials and innovative designs, and these units reflect those criteria in spades, and are especially popular for their understated elegance, form and hassle-free function.
With more and more luxury brands developing unique designs and innovations, it’s no wonder that they have quickly become a favourite among luxury interior designers, as well as innovative home owners with an eye for functional form. A key benefit of a fireplace TV unit is the option of only heating the room where you place the unit. Consequently, you get the convenience of supplemental heating, which now affords you the choice of heating only your living room instead of the whole house at once. Furthermore, the unit can also act as the ideal focal point of your room and the visual of a simulated fire with real heating can often present a stunning picture on a snowy winter night.
