Luxury Painted Wood TV Unit Looks on a Sensible Budget

A luxury painted wood TV unit look is achievable on a sensible budget because what reads as luxurious is mostly colour, finish and detail rather than cost. Chalky, sophisticated shades such as putty, stone, sage, inky blue and soft black look far more refined than bright whites or glossy primaries. A smooth, even matt or eggshell finish, well chosen handles, a tailored shape and a thoughtful wall treatment behind the unit do the rest. In this guide we explain which colours and finishes look most expensive, how panelled doors, fluting and slim legs lift a simple unit, and how to create a bespoke feel with paint, mirrors and lighting around it. We also cover how to protect painted surfaces from everyday wear, what to check before choosing a painted unit and how to style it so the room feels calm and collected. The ideas suit rented flats and family homes as well as more formal living rooms....
