How to Choose the Right TV Unit for Your Space

24th Apr 2025

When it comes to modern living rooms, the TV unit isn’t just a place to set your television—it’s the centerpiece of your entertainment area. Selecting the right TV unit with drawers can transform your space, offering both style and smart storage. But with so many options out there, how do you find one that fits your home, your lifestyle, and your storage needs? 

At Just Modern Furniture, we specialize in functional, yet stylish TV units designed to enhance your interior while keeping clutter at bay. Here’s your complete guide to choosing the right TV unit for your space.

  1. Measure Your Space First

Before you fall in love with a piece, measure your available wall space and floor area. A TV unit should never overwhelm the room or block walkways. 

  • Tip: Leave at least 6-12 inches on each side of the unit to avoid a cramped look. 
  • Consider the height too—a lower unit works best in small rooms, while a taller design can anchor larger spaces. 
  1. Match the Unit to Your TV Size

Choosing a unit that’s too small or too large for your TV not only looks awkward but can be unsafe. Ideally, your TV stand should be at least a few inches wider than your television on either side. 

  • For example, a 55-inch TV typically pairs well with a unit that’s 60 inches or wider. 
  • Built-in floating shelves Australia offer storage for game consoles, remotes, sound systems, and other accessories—making your setup both functional and organized. 
  1. Consider Your Storage Needs

If your living room often gets cluttered with cables, remotes, and media, a TV unit with built-in drawers and shelves is a must-have. Think about how much storage you really need. 

  • Shelves are great for displaying décor, books, or storing consoles. 
  • Drawers help hide items you don’t want on display, keeping your space clean and minimalist. 

Choose a model that offers a mix of both—open and closed storage—for a balanced, sleek look. 

  1. Choose a Style That Complements Your Home

Your TV unit should blend with your interior decor. Whether your home leans more toward minimalism, industrial, or Scandinavian aesthetics, the right design can tie the whole room together. 

  • Modern wood finishes, high-gloss lacquers, or matte neutrals are timeless and versatile. 
  • Go for floating TV units for a clean, airy look—perfect for contemporary spaces. 

Just Modern Furniture offers a curated collection of stylish TV units designed to suit every taste and layout. 

  1. Think About Cable Management

One of the most overlooked aspects of a good TV unit is how it handles cables. Look for designs with built-in cable holes or hidden compartments to keep things neat and safe. 

  • This is especially important if you’re using multiple electronics like gaming consoles, speakers, and streaming boxes. 

Our TV units come with smart cable management features to keep everything tidy behind the scenes. 

  1. Material and Durability Matter

Don’t compromise on quality. A well-built TV unit with shelves and drawers should last for years. Look for sturdy materials like engineered wood, MDF with veneer finishes, or solid wood for maximum durability. 

At Just Modern Furniture, every piece is crafted with premium materials, designed to withstand daily use without losing its appeal.

FAQs – TV Units with Built-in Storage 

  1. How do I know what size TV unit I need?

Measure the width of your TV and add at least 6-10 inches on either side. Also, factor in your available wall space and room layout before choosing a unit. 

  1. Are wall-mounted TV units better than floor-standing ones?

Wall-mounted (floating) units save floor space and offer a modern look, while floor-standing models usually provide more storage options. 

  1. What materials are best for TV units?

Engineered wood, MDF with veneers, and solid wood are all durable choices. Look for finishes that complement your decor and offer long-lasting wear. 

  1. Can I hide all my cables inside the TV unit?

Yes! Most of our TV units at Just Modern Furniture include cable management features that keep wires organized and hidden from view.

FAQ

Choose a TV unit design that is compatible with your existing decor. Our modern TV units in white and black are a perfect choice, as these colours seamlessly blend with any aesthetic. With so many options available at Just Modern Furniture, it's easy to find the perfect TV unit to match your space. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, reach out to us for guidance and assistance.

While there are no standard dimensions for a TV unit, you should use the size of your television as a guide to purchasing the perfect unit. Ideally, the size of your TV unit should be several inches deeper and wider than the size of your television. TV units that are too small can pose a safety risk and look out of place when set underneath a large television. If the TV unit is too large for your space, it can create a jarring or visually unappealing look.

YAt Just Modern Furniture, we use eco-friendly, moisture-resistant acrylic to create durable, scratch-resistant, high-quality modern TV units.

Wall mounts are a great space-saving solution. If minimalism is your go-to aesthetic, then this option is perfect. Meanwhile, TV stands are a neat and efficient way to conceal unsightly wires and cables while adding stylish storage space to your living room.
