Entertainment Units

Choosing the right size entertainment unit starts with your television. The general rule is to select an entertainment unit wider than the screen — ideally 20 to 30 centimetres beyond each side — so the television looks balanced within the piece rather than sitting on top of a unit that is too narrow for it. An entertainment unit that is appropriately wide creates a composed, stable visual impression and leaves room on the surface for a soundbar, speakers or decorative objects. Before shopping for an entertainment unit, measure your television and the wall space available, and bring those measurements to our showroom. Our team will help you find an entertainment unit that fits the screen and the room without overwhelming either. We stock entertainment units in widths that cover compact through to very large living rooms.

A good entertainment unit does far more than hold a screen. Our entertainment units include combinations of drawers, cupboards and open shelving to suit different living room setups. Closed storage in an entertainment unit is ideal for gaming consoles, streaming devices, disc players and remotes — keeping the living room calm even when the household is fully equipped with technology. Open shelving in an entertainment unit suits a soundbar, a media player or decorative items that you want to display alongside the screen. Cable management is a key feature of many of our entertainment unit models — channels and openings in the back panel route power and signal cables cleanly through the unit, so cords do not trail across the floor or tangle behind the piece. When assessing an entertainment unit in the showroom, check every storage compartment and ask the team about cable routing for your specific devices.

We stock entertainment units in solid timber, mixed-material and contemporary low-line styles to suit the full range of Melbourne home interiors. A solid timber entertainment unit brings natural warmth and texture to the living room and pairs well with matching furniture — a timber coffee table, bookcase or buffet sideboard — for a cohesive interior. A low, wide contemporary entertainment unit suits a large screen in an open-plan living space and keeps the visual horizon low, making the room feel more expansive. Many of our entertainment units are available in multiple finishes — pale oak, American walnut, charcoal and mixed materials including metal accents — so you can coordinate the entertainment unit with the palette you have already established in the room. Bring a fabric swatch or a photograph of your existing furniture when you visit, so the team can help you match finishes accurately.

In open-plan homes, an entertainment unit often needs to work from multiple angles — visible from the kitchen, the dining area and the living room at once. In this context, an entertainment unit with a quality finish on all visible sides is important, as is choosing a piece with proportions that do not feel too heavy in a large shared space. A longer, lower entertainment unit tends to work well in open-plan environments because it keeps the sight lines open and does not create a visual barrier between zones. Some of our entertainment unit models include a combination of open and closed storage, which suits open-plan living by keeping everyday items hidden while allowing decorative objects to be displayed. Our team can help you assess which entertainment unit configuration suits your specific floor plan and the way your household uses the space.
