Collection: Entertainment Units

Which TV unit suits your setup?

The right entertainment unit starts with your TV and your room. A wall-mounted TV pairs well with a floating TV unit that keeps the floor clear and the cables tidy. A freestanding TV needs a unit wide enough that the screen doesn't overhang the ends. A media collection — console, soundbar, games — wants closed cabinets and cable ports. And a small room benefits from a compact TV stand rather than a long entertainment unit. Measure your TV and count your gear first, and the size and style follow.

How wide should a TV unit be?

The unit should be wider than your TV — aim for at least 20 cm more than the screen width on each side, so the TV doesn't look like it's about to tip off. A 65-inch TV is around 145 cm wide, so a unit of 180 cm or more sits it comfortably. For a floating TV unit, check the wall can take the weight and that the fixings suit your wall type. Measure the height too: the screen centre should sit near eye level from your sofa, usually with the unit around 40 to 55 cm tall.

Wood, white, black or floating — which finish?

The finish sets the room's look and the upkeep. A wood or oak entertainment unit brings warmth and hides dust; a white TV unit brightens a room but shows marks; a black TV unit hides fingerprints and suits a media room. A floating TV unit gives a clean, modern look and makes the floor easy to vacuum, though it needs a solid wall. Gloss finishes look sharp but show every smudge near a busy media zone. Match the finish to your room's traffic and light.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy a TV unit

Here's what the listing skips. Cable management is the thing people forget and regret — a unit with cutouts and a hollow back keeps the mess hidden, while a solid-back unit leaves cords draped over the edge. Check for cable ports before you buy. If you're wall-mounting a floating TV unit, confirm the weight rating and that you have the right wall fixings, because a loaded unit pulling out of plasterboard is a real risk. Buy on the storage and cable routing, not just the finish.

FAQs – get the answers you need

How wide should my TV unit be?
At least 20 cm wider than your TV on each side. A 65-inch TV (about 145 cm) suits a unit of 180 cm or more, so the screen sits safely without overhanging.

What's a floating TV unit?
A floating TV unit mounts to the wall with no legs, keeping the floor clear and cables hidden. It gives a modern look and makes vacuuming easy, but needs a solid wall.

What's the difference between a TV unit and an entertainment unit?
They're much the same. An entertainment unit is usually larger with more storage for media gear; a TV unit or TV stand can be a simpler, smaller stand for the screen.

How high should a TV unit be?
Around 40 to 55 cm, so the screen centre sits near eye level from your sofa. Too high and you crane your neck; too low and it's uncomfortable over time.

Which finish hides marks best?
Wood and black finishes hide dust and fingerprints well. White and gloss look bright but show smudges, so they suit lower-traffic rooms.

An entertainment unit anchors the living room. Set a coffee table in front of the sofa, add wall shelves above for decor, and store extras in a nearby sideboard.
