Furniture Design Dilemma Storage

Media tv storage unit

5 years ago

Looking for inspiration for a small media storage unit to go under wall mounted tv. Would prefer plywood, oak, distressed oak, reclaimed etc. Any ideas / photos / professionals recommendations wholeheartedly welcome.

Difficult to tell without seeing the room but we went for a reclaimed media unit under a wall mounted tv and it works quite well.

Thank you. My space is a little restricted (under the pitched roof) so thinking to opt for small rectangular unit. I appreciate it's difficult without a photo but currently space under the TV serves as storage so not doing it any favour! Did you manage to run all cables through the cable organiser?

Your space looks nice!

I still love cabinets or repurposed furniture, armoire, etc. that match the space to keep the tv out of sight and not the center focus; but if you don't like cabinets, how about a bookcase with a shelf large enough for the tv; with other items, books, etc. on the shelves, the tv is not the focal point. Or, hang the tv on the wall and hang a large piece of framed art over it and remove for tv watching. Instead of a wall safe, it's a tv . . . .

For starters your T.V. is way too high lower it to sit virtually on the mantel and take all the stuff off the mantle. If you are getting storage built get 2 made so one on each side of the fireplace for balance. I don't see what you have for lighting now and find the finish on the walls very busy. When I look at your idea books I am not really getting that same feel in the space as it is so maybe some more pictures would help with that.

Will the radiator be an issue if you want to put TV to left of fireplace? Though it is a more prominent position, you could put the TV over to the right of the fireplace. Back to the window is better as regards glare on the screen if you are watching it during the day time. I would put your sofa in the middle of the room facing the fireplace. then I would put an armchair with its back to the window pointing in towards the sofa. This can be pulled sort of in front of the TV/ forward from the TV which will push the TV into the background and demonstrate that it is not your dominant feature. When you do want to watch TV you can push the armchair over a bit so you can see the TV from the sofa. Alternatively, put the TV with its back to the wall around where the mirror is leaning in your picture. And use houseology's great TV unit on castors idea whichever side you choose! Simple yet genius as you can push the TV right into the corner out of the way when not using - might use that one myself.

I need help choosing what furniture size & placement for my living room. The room measurements are 5.6m x 4.2m. I want to get the 4 seater and accent chair but feel it needs more but unsure how to arrange it. The room will also have a fireplace and large tv/media unit similar to picture. I have chosen the mink/blue swatch for the sofa & accent chair.

This is mine. A cheapie from Homesbase in oak. All the cables fit neatly through the access hole. Not so tidy behind the unit where all the sockets, but who on earth looks behind there anyway lol!

Forgot to say my tv is not wall mounted but plenty of room to do so if you wish.
