TV Units & TV Cabinets

A TV unit should generally be wider than the television rather than matching it exactly. For a 65-inch TV, a cabinet around 180-200 cm wide is a useful starting point for many rooms. Check the actual TV width, stand position and wall space before ordering.

For a 75-inch television, many rooms benefit from a TV unit around 200 cm wide or more so the screen does not visually overpower the cabinet. The exact choice depends on the television's physical width, whether it is wall-mounted and the available wall space.

Usually, yes. A TV cabinet that extends beyond the screen on both sides tends to look more balanced and provides additional surface space. If the television is wall-mounted, the same principle helps visually anchor the screen to the furniture below.

The best TV-unit height depends on the sofa seat height and television position. The centre of the screen should be comfortable to view from your normal seated position. Lowline TV cabinets are popular because they help keep larger televisions closer to seated eye level.

An extendable TV unit uses sliding, overlapping or adjustable sections so the overall width can change. This can be useful when moving between homes, changing television size or adapting the cabinet to a wider wall.

Choose storage according to the equipment you actually use. Gaming consoles, media players, remotes and cables may need drawers, doors or open shelves. If electronics are placed inside cabinets, check that there is suitable ventilation and cable access.
