The advancements in technology have considerably changed our lifestyles over the past few decades and yet TVs have continued to be a constant in our homes. For many individuals and families in the UK, it is a common practice to relax in front of the TV after a long day. And that’s where TV units come in.
While their original purpose was to simply hold the TV or keep it safe, they have truly evolved over the last few years in terms of functionality and aesthetics. The televisions themselves have also evolved to become much bigger, sleeker and technologically advanced than they once were. We were also introduced to additional components to go with the TV such as gaming consoles, sound systems, virtual reality (VR) sets, internet routers and streaming devices, all of which eventually meant that more space was required.
So the modern TV stands are designed to not just accommodate the TV but also the additional devices - making your space look organised and clutter-free. In most living rooms, TVs are the focal point around which all the furniture is arranged. So it makes sense to make it look as elegant, beautiful and sophisticated as possible, which is not achievable without a well-planned and well-built TV unit.
Modern TV units are available in a range of materials, colours and finishes which allows you to easily buy one that enhances the aesthetics of your space.
Whether you want a wall-mounted TV unit or a free-standing one, there are an unlimited number of styles to choose from these days. Here are some of the most popular options amongst our clients:
The best option for smaller spaces, corner TV stands are real space-savers. They pair well with small to mid-sized TVs and often come with storage space.
With wall-mounted TVs, you get plenty of room for creativity - you could go for bespoke wall joinery or you could keep things simple with a floating TV unit.
Quite similar to sideboards in terms of their look and structure, media consoles or media cabinets ensure that your area looks well-organised and tidy.
A custom built-in unit covers the full wall and brings together everything - TV unit, storage and display wall, while seamlessly integrating with your decor.
Ideal for contemporary bedrooms, these will fit perfectly within a built-in wardrobe and can even be concealed with a sliding door.

The versatility of TV units is not just limited to its design but there’s also a huge range of materials to choose from, including high-quality wood. Most high-end brands also provide customisation options so if you like a particular design, you can have it personalised in your choice of colour, material or finish. This allows clients to create unique units that seamlessly blend with their interiors.

TV units in glass will often feature clean lines and gold tones, bringing opulence and luxury to your space. The transparency of glass also allows it to make beautiful contrasts with wood and metal.
Rattan TV units have been gaining immense popularity lately because of their natural, bohemian charm. Because of the subtle texture that they bring, these TV units are especially popular amongst clients who want to set a contemporary tone for their space.
