How to Choose the Perfect Wall Mounted TV Unit for Your Home

Choosing a wall mounted TV unit starts with your wall rather than the furniture. Before looking at finishes, you need to know what the wall is made of, how wide your screen is, how much storage you really need and what height will suit your seating. Get those decisions right and the style choice becomes far easier. In this guide we walk through each step in turn. We explain the difference between solid brick, plasterboard and dot and dab walls, and why each needs different fixings. We cover how to measure the wall, the screen and your equipment, and how to set the unit at a comfortable height with a generous gap beneath. We also look at drawers, flap doors and open shelves, practical ways to manage cables, and the importance of respecting weight limits. Finally, we consider how floating units work in bedrooms and open plan spaces as well as living rooms....
