Living room is the one place that the whole family devotes time to be together and the major spotlight is the entertainment through television. May it be your family, friends, or your distant relatives visiting you for the first time, the living room would be your prime sedentary whereabouts and adding to its grandeur would be your contemporary TV & entertainment unit.
For a modern TV design you could always go for a wall mounted television with a clean white background to it. Either with white patterned tiles or a single light coloured wall setting. To keep it as neat as possible leave the rest of the area with as minimal work as manageable, just adding a couple of floating drawers below for easy access to TV accessories.
For a compact area where you definitely need some storage space, wall cabinets with glass doors that go up to the ceiling might be your go to option. Install them to the sides of your television set and add a low lying counter below for some extra space. A more sleek and stylish look would be having a glass counter or floating glass shelves set up. These could also hold your gaming units and home theatre systems.
You could go for a complete wooden makeover, with wooden panelling just behind your floating television and add to it wooden sideboards giving a whole new vintage rustic look and is also a classic way to bring in the nature. Select a full fledged wall mount and add to the shelves some fine books and a couple of house plants and complete the alluring aesthetic of your entertainment unit. Pick wooden shelves or cabinets with varying depths set in contrasting heights designing a 3D entity and an off the wall look.
With an artistic outlook and love for photography, you could lay out wooden frames that carry your creative work or masterpieces from the world. Furthermore, these frames can also exhibit your sweet family moments.
If you are looking for some unique back panel ideas, you could opt for stone-finished wall tiles or for an even splendour look go for granite or marble finished wall. Stone wall cladding or brick veneer wall are also great ways to give your TV unit an extraordinary look.
For an antique look, bring home a wooden trunk box of the right size that fits your TV space. You can make this your TV unit stand which also offers an extra storage area. Dress it up with some ancient textured fabric along with some old ornaments, artifacts, or historic fangled showpieces.
Playing with lights can never go wrong with your entertainment unit. Strips of small LED lights cornering around your television’s background setting, or a couple of multi coloured focus lights that emphasizes the particular pieces and frames that hold value.
Plan your TV & Entertainment sets beforehand and for the long term, if you settle for a stone wall or a top to bottom showcase or cabinet, you will want it to be in order prior to designing the whole space.
