Modern buyers with an eye for sophisticated interiors do not choose a TV unit for such prosaic reasons as saving space. That being said, minimalist interiors are the result of modern, innovative ideas from professional interior designers, and small TV units are a perfect example of the innovation and style that defines modern luxury. Modern TV units in compact sizes are also an excellent choice for those who prefer smaller and less bulky pieces of furniture. The units offer a compact and efficient option that can elevate your living space and entertainment suite to a new level altogether.
These units are available in a wide range of styles, finishes and designs to make sure you find the perfect combination of space efficiency and aesthetics. However, making the right choice can often prove to be challenging. For instance, you may come across a luxury TV unit which may appear to be the perfect fit but when you take it home, it may prove to be wholly unsuitable. Why? Because appearance is only a part of the process. Functionality san certain other key factors are also crucial. In this detailed feature, we are going to provide you with a detailed guide on how to purchase your perfect small TV unit.
While the living room is the right place for TV units, you may need one for your bedroom or your den; both of which are usually smaller than your living room space. Additionally, those who want a sophisticated, modern and minimalist look for their living rooms should also consider one of these units. They can be broadly categorised into two; freestanding ones and those built-in to walls of your living room. In this section, we are going to look into the pros and cons of both so that you can make the right choice.
As the name suggests, these small TV units stand on their own and can be moved easily. They also offer a range of functionalities like storage space for media accessories and significant customisation options. They are available in a range of sizes, materials and styles to suit the diverse needs of discerning individuals. Here’s a look into the pros and cons of these units for smaller spaces.
The built-in TV units are a tailored solution when your objective is style, functionality and modern aesthetics. These units are fitted to the wall of your living space, thereby making it perfectly suitable for smaller spaces in which floor space may be at a premium. Here’s a look at some of the pros and cons of these units.
As you can see, both these units are suitable for smaller spaces, but there are certain specific considerations which may make you lean one way or another. Once you’ve visited a reputable luxury furniture shop, speak to their seasoned interior designers about your needs and you will be directed in the correct direction.
Before heading to the shop, certain things ought to be a part of your checklist so that you choose the right small TV unit for your living room. Here’s a look at the things that you should consider before placing your order.
Have the measurements of your room with you so that you are fully aware of the most suitable TV unit size for the space. This will help you narrow down your choices.
Luxury small TV units are made with a range of materials. If you want a traditional and classical look then nothing can beat wood. However, there are many other choices to consider like metal, reclaimed wood and glass. Choose the one that best matches your preferences, style and sensibilities.
Luxury TV units are manufactured with inputs from the world’s leading furniture designers and hence, there are plenty of choices for everyone. Speak to an expert at the shop about your specific preferences and you will be provided with a list of units to choose from.
A TV unit, regardless of size, should offer storage for entertainment accessories and related paraphernalia. If you choose a small unit, you need to consider the amount of storage you want. These units can offer significantly innovative options depending on your particular needs.
The daily use of the unit would centre around watching the television and it is necessary to choose one of the right height. It is recommended that the TV should be at a height somewhat below your eye level while seated for viewing comfort. Get your eye level measured to select a unit of the right height.
If you have specific preferences like unique functionality, personalised decoration or anything in between then customisation could be the best option. A customised TV unit would be a strong demonstration of your personality and style. More importantly, it would be unique. The biggest luxury furniture stores offer bespoke customisation options that would make your TV unit like no other.
Most of our leading interior designers boast years of experience in styling luxury interiors. There are certain styling hacks for small TV units that they consider to be almost universally effective. Here are some tips that should be considered when styling your entertainment space.
Placing a couple of books on one of the shelves creates a casual yet stylish look. Artisanal candles on the space beside the TV would lend the unit a sophisticated but homely look. ?
Consider decorating the wall directly behind the TV unit with suitable posters, photographs and paintings that complement your unit. For instance, if you opt for a grey-coloured unit you might consider hanging black and white photography, film posters and other minimalist prints or paintings.
Find a lamp of the size suitable for your TV unit and place it on one of the shelves. It is one of the simplest yet effective ways of styling your unit and can provide ideal soft lighting when entertaining. The lamps can also act as mood lighting when you want to watch something in a darker room.
These are some of the more effective tips but you should speak to a professional interior designer to get more personalised recommendations and advice catered to your specific tastes.
