Smart Modular TV Unit Ideas for Small and Large Living Rooms

TV units are no longer plain walls or corners where the TV is placed; they are turning into explorations of personal design and preferences. But the size of the TV unit depends on the size of the living room and its design; these visual and design elements should not clash and instead should complete the look of the living room.

Greenply offers plywood and panels that are ideal for TV setup designs for various preferences and design layouts. Our range of products ensures that customers get the products that fit their needs. In this guide, we will see in detail how proper planning can help you set up a modular TV unit that fits your house. 

Understanding the Living Room’s Design and Challenges

Designing a living room can be a challenge every time, as smaller spaces require proper space management, and larger rooms need visual and material balance to fill the empty spaces. Here is how modular designs allow customisation despite these challenges: 

• Should fit the wall space comfortably
  

• Should support the TV comfortably
  

• Should have sealed storage to avoid visual clutter
  

• Ensure clean viewing lines

What the Living Room Demands From a Modular TV Unit

Living rooms should be flexible and not centred around just one thing. But a TV unit influences the entire furniture layout, viewing lines and movement. A well-thought-out TV point design can guarantee cables, sockets, and mounting are well adjusted without disrupting visuals. Here is how you should plan it: 

• Well-used wall space
  

• Storage for accessories and gadgets
  

• Clean cable routing and TV point planning

Best Material Choices for This Space

Choosing the right material is just as important as choosing the right layout. For living rooms, materials should:

• Support wall-mounted and panel-backed TV units
  

• Hold screws and fittings firmly
  

• Stay stable over time without bending
  

• Works well with laminates, veneers, or paint finishes

Greenply’s Platinum Plywood is suitable for both small and large living rooms. It allows flexibility in design for everything, including a floating unit, a full-panel setup, or a corner layout. 

Best Modular TV Unit Layouts for Different Room Sizes

Modular TV units can be laid out in different styles. There are flexible modular TV unit design options that make it easier to choose and design according to the space. Here are the design options for small and large living rooms: 

For small living rooms:

• Wall-mounted designs and floating shelves save floor space
  

• Compact corner storage units
  

• Vertically shelved storage units

For larger living rooms:

• Full wall covering modular units
  

• Panel-backed TV setups
  

• A mix of open and sealed storage for easier access

Modular TV Unit Ideas for Small Living Rooms

Compact living rooms can make use of low budget TV unit designs to save money and space by choosing simpler options. Here are a few ideas:

• Wall-mounted TVs with compact storage units
  

• Floating shelves to save floor space
  

• Neutral colours to keep the visual smoothness

Modular TV Unit Ideas for Large Living Rooms

Larger living rooms should be filled with elements that fill the space without creating a void. The home TV designs in this space can be experimental. Here are a few ideas to explore: 

• Full-panel TV unit designs
  

• Bigger and experimental storage units
  

• Designated spots for speakers and decor

Smart Solutions for Corner TV Unit Design

Some living rooms are compromised and do not have enough space for a designer wall. In these cases, corners can be used to put up a well-designed corner TV unit design: 

• It uses the space completely
  

• Can improve viewing angles
  

• Helps save the main wall space

Minimal TV Unit Designs for a Clean Look

These layouts suit both a small and a large living room design and keep the visual clutter low. These designs are not limited to trends; their appeal is timeless. Here is what a minimal TV unit design usually consists of: 

• Wall-mounted or panel-backed TV units
  

• Small base or floating cabinets
  

• Concealed storage to maintain a minimalist TV unit design

TV Setup Designs That Balance Style and Function

• Better viewing height
  

• Easy access to devices
  

• Proper ventilation for electronics

Storage-Focused Modular TV Units

This modular TV unit design focuses on storing and hiding clutter. Here is where they perform well:

Cost Considerations for Modular TV Units

Low-budget TV unit designs do not have to compromise space or storage. Here is what they usually depend on: 

• Unit’s size as it occupies more space
  

• Concealed or open storage
  

• Design, finish and detailing on the wood

Bringing It All Together: Choosing the Right Modular TV Unit
