As TV technology advances and living spaces become more streamlined, bespoke units provide the perfect balance of visual appeal and practical organisation.

What Is a Custom TV Unit?

A custom TV unit is a handcrafted, made-to-measure furniture installation designed to house your television, media equipment, and accessories in a unified format.

Since these units are custom-built, they can include open shelving, hidden storage, integrated lighting, cable management, and decorative finishes that match your interior.

As each unit is crafted for a specific wall or alcove, it enhances both the flow and function of your living room or entertainment area.

Custom media units are ideal for homeowners who want a sleek, personalised solution without the limitations of off-the-shelf furniture.

How Much Does a Custom TV Unit Cost?

The cost of a custom TV unit ranges from £1,500 to £5,000.

The cost depends on the size, materials, and complexity of the design.

Basic floating shelf designs with integrated cable management and TV brackets usually start at around £1,500 to £2,000.

Mid-range wall-mounted units with closed storage, LED lighting, and premium finishes are priced between £2,500 and £3,500.

For full-height bespoke media walls with integrated electric fireplaces, shelving, panelling, and high-end materials, costs can exceed £4,000 to £5,000.

Since each project is bespoke, a site survey and design consultation is required to produce an accurate fixed quote based on layout, electrical needs, and finish choices.

What Are the Benefits of a Custom TV Unit?

A bespoke TV unit offers more than visual appeal, it brings structure, functionality, and efficiency to your home.

Key benefits include:

• Seamlessly integrates your TV, devices, and storage into one clean design
• Hides unsightly wires, consoles, and speakers through internal cable management
• Built to exact dimensions of your wall, alcove, or entertainment zone
• Custom finishes, shelving, and lighting to match your interior décor
• Increases usable floor space by removing bulky freestanding furniture
• Adds value and aesthetic appeal to living rooms, lounges, or home cinemas

Can I Include Lighting and Power Sockets in My TV Unit?

Custom TV units can include integrated LED lighting, power outlets, USB charging points, and HDMI access as part of the design.

Since the unit is built from scratch, wiring channels and socket placement are planned during the initial design phase.

As a result, your setup remains clean and future-proofed, accommodating modern tech like smart TVs, soundbars, and streaming devices.

We work with qualified electricians to ensure all electrical work is compliant and safely installed within the cabinetry.

Can Custom TV Units Be Built Around a Fireplace?

We can design a bespoke TV unit that incorporates a real or electric fireplace, offering a unified focal point for your room.

Since heat and TV electronics must be carefully separated, our designs include appropriate thermal protection and spacing.

Electric fireplaces are the most common option for media walls, providing ambient heat and visual interest without affecting equipment.

As every element is tailored, we ensure that your fireplace and TV complement one another both in style and function.

What Materials Are Used in Custom TV Units?

Custom TV units can be crafted from a wide range of materials including MDF, hardwood veneer, lacquered panels, and high-gloss finishes.

Since aesthetics and budget differ for every client, we offer options ranging from cost-effective painted boards to premium timber veneers or matte finishes.

Glass shelves, metal accents, and push-to-open cabinetry can also be incorporated to elevate the final design.

All materials are selected for their durability, ease of maintenance, and ability to integrate well with both traditional and modern interiors.

How Long Does It Take to Build and Install a Custom TV Unit?

Most custom TV units take between 2 and 5 weeks from consultation to completion.

The design phase usually takes 1 week, followed by manufacturing (1 to 3 weeks depending on complexity), and installation (1 to 2 days on-site).

As all units are bespoke, timeframes may vary based on material availability, finish type, and any integrated features like lighting or fireplaces.

We provide a full project schedule upfront so clients know exactly what to expect.

Do You Offer Alcove TV Units or Built-In Storage?

We specialise in building custom alcove TV units, ideal for period properties or homes with chimney breasts.

Since alcoves are often underused, a made-to-measure unit maximises both storage and display space without altering the room’s layout.

You can include book shelving, media drawers, or display cabinets designed to the millimetre.

As the design follows the wall structure precisely, the final result looks architectural and built-in from day one.

Can I Choose the Paint or Finish for My TV Unit?

Finishes for custom TV units can be fully tailored to match your existing furniture, flooring, or wall colour.

Options include matte paint, satin lacquer, wood stain, and colour-matched finishes using premium paint brands like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene.

We also offer high-gloss acrylics and ultra-matte laminates for modern interiors.

As all components are made to order, your final unit reflects your exact vision.

Can a Custom TV Unit Be Wall Mounted?

A custom TV unit can be designed as a floating or wall-mounted feature for a modern, minimal look.

Since floating units create the illusion of more floor space, they are especially popular in smaller living rooms or apartments.

We use strong wall fixings and support brackets to safely secure the unit while accommodating the weight of your TV and storage.

As each design is bespoke, the height, width, and positioning are tailored to your specific room layout and viewing preferences.

Do You Build Corner TV Units?

We offer corner TV unit solutions for awkward spaces or rooms where wall space is limited.

Since standard furniture rarely fits neatly into corners, a custom unit allows for full utilisation of the available area.

These units can include shelving, hidden compartments, or curved designs to maximise both functionality and visual appeal.

As each corner unit is made to order, it blends seamlessly into your existing décor while offering useful media storage.

Are Custom TV Units Suitable for Open Plan Living Areas?

Custom TV units are ideal for open plan homes because they help define zones and reduce visual clutter.

Since open layouts often lack natural boundaries, a well-designed media wall or freestanding TV unit creates structure without using full partitions.

Integrated shelving, cabinetry, and LED lighting can also serve as design features that anchor the living or entertainment area.

As we tailor every unit to your spatial needs, it can be built to coordinate with kitchen cabinetry, flooring, or adjoining furniture.

Can I Hide Speakers and AV Equipment in a Bespoke TV Unit?

We can design a custom TV unit with built-in ventilation and acoustic panels to safely house speakers, consoles, and amplifiers.

Since many modern homes use soundbars or surround sound systems, concealed access points and mesh cabinet fronts ensure full functionality without visual clutter.

We also install cable channels and media shelves with removable backs for easy access and updates.

As technology continues to evolve, our custom units are built with flexibility in mind to futureproof your setup.

Can You Match the Unit to My Existing Furniture or Flooring?

We can colour-match and style-match your custom TV unit to existing cabinetry, flooring, or architectural features.

Since each piece is handcrafted, we use precision spraying and finishing techniques to replicate tones, grains, or surface textures.

Paints, veneers, and stains can be sourced to align with your interior palette and design goals.

This results in a cohesive finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of your space without clashing with what’s already in place.
