How to Choose the Right TV Unit for Your Home | EM Shop
A TV unit is more than just a stand for your television — it’s a functional and stylish piece of furniture that anchors your living room. Whether you want a sleek modern TV stand, a rustic entertainment unit, or a versatile storage cabinet, choosing the right one ensures your space looks organised, balanced, and welcoming.
Here’s EM Shop’s step-by-step guide to buying the perfect TV unit online for your home.
1. Measure Your Space and TV Size
Before you shop, measure your available wall and floor space carefully. Note the:
-
Width – The TV unit should be at least a few centimetres wider than your TV for stability and proportion.
-
Depth – Ensure it fits comfortably without obstructing walkways.
-
Height – The centre of your TV screen should be at eye level when you’re seated.
If you’re mounting your TV on the wall, still consider the depth and width of your entertainment console for storing devices, décor, or speakers.

2. Consider the Style and Material
Your TV unit should complement your overall décor theme:
-
Modern – Sleek lines, minimal hardware, glossy or matte finishes.
-
Rustic – Warm wood tones, natural grains, and handcrafted details.
-
Industrial – Metal frames, darker colours, and mixed materials.
-
Classic – Timeless designs with elegant detailing.
Materials to consider:
-
Solid Wood – Durable, timeless, and long-lasting.
-
Engineered Wood – Affordable and versatile with multiple finishes.
-
Metal – Strong, contemporary, and great for industrial looks.

3. Storage Needs and Functionality
Think beyond just holding your TV. Do you need:
-
Closed Cabinets – Keep clutter out of sight.
-
Open Shelves – Display books, speakers, or décor.
-
Drawers – Store remotes, gaming controllers, or DVDs.
An entertainment unit with storage helps keep your living room organised, especially in smaller homes where every bit of space matters.

4. Cable Management Features
Cables from your TV, speakers, and devices can quickly make your space look messy. Look for built-in cable management like rear cutouts or channels to keep cords neat and accessible.
Good cable management not only improves aesthetics but also makes it easier to plug in or replace devices without moving heavy furniture.

5. Match Your Room’s Layout and Other Furniture
A TV unit is often the focal point of the living room. To create a cohesive look:
-
Match the height to your seating for comfortable viewing.
-
Align colours and finishes with your coffee table, side tables, or shelving units.
-
Choose proportions that fit your wall without overwhelming or underwhelming the space.
For open-plan living areas, lowline TV units work well to maintain an airy, uncluttered feel.
6. Material Durability and Maintenance
Different households have different needs. If you have children or pets, opt for scratch-resistant finishes and sturdy construction.
-
Solid wood requires occasional polishing but lasts decades.
-
Engineered wood is lightweight and easy to clean.
-
Metal frames are durable and low-maintenance.
Always check product descriptions for cleaning instructions so your TV furniture stays in top condition.
