TV Unit Colour Trends for 2026: From Charcoal to Teal

TV unit colours are moving away from stark white and black towards deeper, warmer and more characterful shades. In this guide we look at the colours shaping living rooms and how to use each one well. We explain why charcoal and soft black have become the go to dark neutral, how deep teal brings richness when paired with ochre, mustard and brass, and why forest, olive and sage greens suit homes filled with natural materials. We also explore warm neutrals such as greige, mushroom and taupe, the enduring appeal of oak and walnut, and whether white still has a place. Because finish changes colour as much as the shade itself, we compare matt, satin and high gloss and explain how north, south, east and west facing light alters each colour. You will find four simple colour schemes to build around your unit, advice on pairing colour with glass, metal and wood, and tips for choosing a lasting shade....
