For many hours a day the TV is off — and a black rectangle on a bare wall is not much to look at. A well-designed TV unit treats the wall as a composition in its own right.
Elegant designs
Frame the TV with a panel, flank it with fluted wood or a stone-finish surface, and balance open and closed areas. The goal is a wall that looks finished with the screen off.
Smart storage
Floating consoles with drawers hide remotes, set-top boxes and cables, while keeping the floor clear for cleaning. Plan a ventilated compartment for devices.
Ambient lighting
Warm LED backlighting behind a TV panel softens the contrast between the bright screen and the wall — more comfortable for the eyes in the evening.
Premium materials
Wood flutes, veneers, stone-finish panels and metal inlays add texture and depth. Use one hero material and support it with quieter surfaces.
Bring nature indoors
A tall plant beside the unit softens the hard lines of a media wall and connects it to the rest of the room.
Complement your living space
The TV wall should share the palette of the sofa, flooring and ceiling — so the living room reads as one designed space.
