TV Units

Clear the Clutter and Pull Your Space Together

Cables tangled near the TV, game controllers scattered on the floor, and random home décor that doesn’t quite fit. Sound familiar? A cluttered living room makes it harder to relax, and the TV area is often the messiest spot of all.

This is why TV units are a staple in modern Australian homes. They give you a stylish, functional way to pull your space together, hide the mess, and make the room feel complete.

And if you're looking for TV and entertainment units that do more than hold your screen, you're at the right spot. At Amart, you’ll find a wide range of TV units in different styles, from minimalist lowline stands to wall units with generous storage. Here’s what you need to know before choosing yours.

What is a TV unit?

A TV unit, sometimes called a TV stand or entertainment unit, is a piece of furniture designed to hold your television while also providing storage. It usually has shelves for devices, cupboards or drawers for clutter, and enough space on top for décor.

Do I really need a TV unit?

Yes. A TV unit adds more than good looks. It also:

• Keeps gaming consoles, subwoofers, and soundbars in one place
• Doubles as storage units for DVDs, books, cables, remotes, and more
• Offers display space for photos, plants, or home décor
• Pulls together your living room furniture into a cohesive setup
• Protects your TV with a stable surface

What are the popular types of entertainment units in Australia?

Amart’s range of entertainment units covers every style and budget. Here are some of our bestsellers:

• Lowline TV units: Perfect for minimalist living rooms with wall-mounted TV entertainment units.
• TV cabinets with doors: Best for hiding away clutter and kids’ toys.
• Units with open shelves: Handy for consoles, DVD players, and speakers.
• Mid-century inspired TV stands: For a retro yet modern touch.
• Timber styles: Popular in homes with a coastal vibe.

What size TV unit do I need?

It depends on your screen and your room. Look at the width of your television first – the unit should be a little wider so it feels balanced and steady. This extra width also gives you space for a soundbar or a few pieces of home décor without it looking crowded.

If you have gaming consoles, speakers, and other entertainment gadgets, make sure there’s room for them too. If the unit is too small, everything will feel crammed. If it’s too large, it can take over the room.

For a more accurate measurement, grab a tape measure and check the wall space and floor space you want to dedicate before you start shopping. In smaller rooms, wall-mounted or slimline designs keep things light. In larger living areas, a wide entertainment unit can comfortably hold a big screen while giving you extra storage to keep the space tidy.

How do I choose a TV unit that complements my living room furniture?

Your TV unit should blend with your other living room furniture, not compete with it. Here are some ideas:

• Match timber tones with your coffee tables and side tables
• Pair black TV units with black hardware in bookcases, buffet tables and sideboards
• Use a timber-style unit alongside ottomans and armchairs in natural fabrics and rattan-style weaves
• Choose sleek white units to pair with modern sofa beds and minimalist décor

For open-plan spaces, matching your TV units to your dining table and dining chairs can also make your space look more cohesive and put together.

If you’re still not sure, you can always ask Amart’s friendly furniture experts in-store to help you match pieces and see ranges styled together.

Picking the storage that works for your lifestyle

Different households need different storage setups. The right choice depends on the functionality you need for your living space.

• Open shelves: Great if you use gaming consoles or streaming boxes daily
• Cupboards and drawers: Best for hiding toys, remotes, and clutter
• Combination storage: Flexible for families who need both easy access and hidden space

What are the best materials for a durable TV unit?

Every material has its pros and cons, and the durability of your unit really depends on how much weight you're putting on it and the environment it's in.

Solid wood is ideal if you have a large screen and other heavy devices like subwoofers and amplifiers. With proper sealing, they can stand up well to everyday use.

If your room is too humid for solid timber, metal frames are a great option too. They work well if you want an industrial style or need extra support for a heavier setup.

For something more affordable, we recommend engineered wood. It resists warping but is relatively cheaper than solid timber, making it a practical choice.

Glass tops or marble-look finishes work best for homes with pets and children. They're sleek, easy to wipe clean and can resist scratches and stains.

Placing your TV unit where it works best

The right placement improves both comfort and style. Here are some ideas:

• Position your unit opposite the main seating, like lounges or armchairs
• Keep the screen at eye level when seated
• Avoid glare by checking the light from windows
• In open-plan spaces, use the unit to zone the living room from the dining area
• Leave space for side tables, ottomans, or extra seating nearby

From TV stand to all-round organiser

Our TV stands aren't designed solely to hold screens. You can also use them as:

• Bedside Table: You can refinish or repaint it to match your other bedroom furniture.
• Bar Cabinet: Add racks for glasses and shelves for bottles, plus matching bar stools and tables.
• Garden Storage: Keep tools, pots, and fertilisers inside (if weatherproofed). You can even match it with your outdoor furniture for a clutter-free outdoor lounge or outdoor dining setup.
• Pet House: Convert it into a stylish dog or cat nook.
• Wardrobe for Kids: Install a rod for hanging clothes and use the lower section for shoes or toys.
• Console table: Place it near the front door as a spot for keys, mail, and decor.
