What Size TV Unit Suits a Long Narrow Living Room?

What Size TV Unit Suits a Long Narrow Living Room?

In a long narrow living room, the right TV unit is usually shallow, low and moderate in width: deep enough for your devices, but slim enough to protect the walkway, and long enough to sit comfortably under the screen without running the full length of the wall. Depth is the most important measurement, because every centimetre the unit projects into the room narrows the route between seating and furniture. In this article we explain how to work out that depth, how wide the unit should be in relation to both the screen and the wall, and what height suits the shorter viewing distances common in narrow rooms. We also look at which wall to choose, why the short end wall often works better than the long side, and how rugs, lighting and wall mounting can make a slim room feel more generous. The advice is based on typical UK layouts, including terraced through lounges and flat living rooms....

What’s Trending in TV Units: Coastal Edition

What’s Trending in TV Units: Coastal Edition

Coastal style has matured. The nautical stripes, anchors and rope details of the past have given way to something quieter: pale timber, natural weaves, washed colours and furniture that feels relaxed rather than themed. The TV unit sits right at the centre of this shift, because it is often the largest piece in the living room and sets the tone for everything around it. The strongest coastal trends right now include whitewashed and limed oak, rattan and cane door fronts, soft sea glass blues and greens, gently rounded edges, fluted and ribbed textures, and simple open shelving styled with natural finds. This article explores each trend in turn, explains why it works, and shows how to bring a coastal feel into homes well away from the shore, from city flats to inland semis. We also cover colour pairings, styling tips and how to keep the look fresh rather than theatrical, with a short FAQ at the end....

Entertainment Units Explained: Which Design Suits Your Lifestyle?

Entertainment Units Explained: Which Design Suits Your Lifestyle?

The term entertainment unit is used loosely, which can make shopping for one surprisingly confusing. In this guide we explain the main designs and the households each one suits. We look at the low TV cabinet, which works in most living rooms, the wall system with towers and bridging shelves for homes that need plenty of storage in one place, the corner unit for rooms where windows and doors take up the main wall, the floating unit for a clean and spacious look, and the media or hifi stand for music lovers who want equipment on show. We then match designs to real lifestyles, whether the room is mainly for relaxing, gaming, storing a large book collection or family life. You will also find practical checks for width, height, depth, load, ventilation, cables and remote access, advice on materials and finishes, and the common mistakes that make a TV wall feel crowded....

Oak-Effect TV Units: A Complete Buyer’s Guide for 2026

Oak-Effect TV Units: A Complete Buyer’s Guide for 2026

An oak effect TV unit gives you the warm look of natural oak in a finish that is usually lighter, more stable and easier to care for than solid timber. When choosing one, the details that matter most are how realistic the grain looks, how durable the surface is, how well the unit is built and whether its tone suits your floor and other furniture. In this buyer's guide we explain what oak effect actually means, from printed papers and textured laminates to real oak veneers, and compare it with solid oak for stability, weight, durability and character. We show you how to spot a convincing finish by checking grain repetition, texture, edging and sheen. We also look at pale, golden and smoked oak tones, how to pair a unit with a wooden floor without clashing, and how to coordinate it with coffee tables and sideboards. Finally, we share simple advice on everyday care and cleaning....

Best Value Scandi TV Units in 2026: Our Top Picks

Best Value Scandi TV Units in 2026: Our Top Picks

Scandinavian design has stayed popular in UK homes for good reason. Pale woods, simple forms and a focus on everyday usefulness suit rooms of every size, and they tend to age gracefully rather than date. When it comes to TV units, good value in the Scandi style is less about finding the cheapest option and more about choosing a design that does its job well for years. In this guide we set out our top picks by type rather than by model: the pale oak unit on tapered legs, the white and wood two tone, the slatted front, the low bench style and the compact unit for small rooms. For each, we explain what it does well, which rooms it suits and which details separate a well made piece from one that will disappoint. We also look at how to style a Scandi unit so it feels warm rather than sparse, and how to keep it calm in family homes....

The Complete Guide to Buying an Oak TV Unit Online

Buying an oak TV unit online is straightforward when you know what to look for.

We set out the differences between solid oak, oak veneer and oak effect finishes, so you can choose the right option for your household. You will learn how to measure your wall, screen and seating before browsing, how to read a product page for internal dimensions, load and materials, and how to judge grain and colour from photographs. We also cover oiled, lacquered and waxed finishes, the construction details that point to careful manufacture, and how to coordinate different oak tones around the room. Finally, we look at delivery, assembly and returns, so you can order with confidence and enjoy a unit that serves your living room for many years....

Upgrading Your White TV Unit: When It’s Worth It

Upgrading Your White TV Unit: When It’s Worth It

White TV units remain a favourite in UK homes, but even well loved pieces eventually show their age. This guide helps you decide when upgrading is genuinely worth it and when a simple refresh will do. We explain the key warning signs, including yellowing that will not clean away, chipped or peeling edges, swollen board, sagging shelves and a unit that no longer suits the size of your television. For pieces that are still sound, we suggest practical ways to breathe new life into them, from a deep clean and new handles to adding legs and restyling the top. If replacement is the better option, you will find guidance on sizing, choosing between gloss, matt and two tone whites, judging construction quality and matching storage to your current devices. We also discuss rethinking the layout, corner units, moving to wood, timing your purchase and what to do with the old unit. Frequently asked questions cover yellowing, painting and lifespan....

TV Unit for 65 Inch TV Measurements Made Simple: Will It Fit Your Room?

TV Unit for 65 Inch TV Measurements Made Simple: Will It Fit Your Room?

For a 65 inch TV, you will usually want a TV unit at least 150 cm wide, and ideally between 160 cm and 200 cm, so the screen has breathing room on each side. A 65 inch television is roughly 145 cm wide and around 83 cm tall without its stand, although exact figures vary between brands. In this guide, we make each measurement simple. We explain what the 65 inch figure really means, then walk through unit width, the position of the television feet, depth, height and seated eye level, and weight capacity. We also cover viewing distance, so you can check the screen will feel comfortable from your sofa, and offer advice for alcoves, chimney breasts and corners that are common in UK homes. Finally, we look at wall mounting as an alternative, leaving space for a soundbar, and a handy checklist you can use before choosing your unit with confidence....

Is a Media Wall Unit a Good Investment? Value Explained

Is a Media Wall Unit a Good Investment? Value Explained

A media wall unit is a good investment when you need a lot of storage on one wall, want your television to feel built into the room and plan to stay in the space long enough to enjoy it. It is less sensible in a very small room, a rental you will leave soon or a home where the TV wall also has to hold a fireplace, window or radiator. In this article we explain what a freestanding media wall unit actually is, how it differs from a plasterboard media wall built by a tradesperson, and where the real value lies: storage, display space, cable control and a calmer room. We look at the drawbacks honestly too, including scale, flexibility and how easily a large unit moves with you. Finally, we share practical guidance on measuring, choosing finishes and styling shelves so that a media wall earns its place in your living room for years....

Corner TV Unit Measurements Made Simple: Will It Fit Your Room?

Corner TV Unit Measurements Made Simple: Will It Fit Your Room?

Corner TV units are measured differently from standard stands, and that is where most sizing mistakes happen. The front width is usually the headline figure, but the length of each back edge along the wall tells you how much space the unit will actually take up. To check a corner unit will fit, measure along each wall from the corner to the nearest obstruction, note the available depth and height, and allow for skirting boards. This guide sets out the five measurements you need, explains how to read a corner unit's product dimensions and shows how to check that your television's feet will sit safely on an angled top. We also cover viewing angles, choosing a comfortable height, storage inside the unusual interior shape and the obstacles common in UK homes, including radiators, sockets, uneven period walls and door swings. A simple cardboard or masking tape test removes most of the remaining guesswork....
