Luxury Low TV Unit Looks on a Sensible Budget

A low TV unit can look genuinely luxurious without a large outlay, because the expensive feel comes mostly from proportion, restraint and light rather than from the label. This guide explains what makes a low unit read as high end: a strong horizontal line, clean handleless fronts, an even finish and neat edges. We look at why choosing a unit noticeably wider than your television is the single most effective decision, and which finishes, from high gloss to rich wood effect and deep matt colours, tend to look richer than they are. You will find practical advice on keeping the top almost bare, hiding cables properly and layering warm light around the television wall. We also cover how the wall behind the unit, a good rug and a coordinated coffee table complete the look, and where a sensible budget is best spent so the room feels calm, considered and comfortable to live with for years to come....
