We also consider the shift towards softer layered lighting rather than harsh brightness, and the reassuring move towards longevity, with more people choosing quality pieces they can live with for years and updating the look through accessories.

TV Unit Trends UK Homeowners Are Choosing Right Now

The way we arrange a living room around the television has shifted noticeably in recent years, with the bulky black cabinet of the past giving way to lighter, more considered designs.
