How to choose between luxury and simple
- Set the budget first. Stone and veneer cost much more than laminate.
- Focus on detail. Aligned shutters, hidden handles and concealed wiring make any unit look premium.
- Light it well. Even simple units look luxurious with hidden LEDs.
- Keep proportions right. The unit should be wider than the TV, with breathing space around it.
- Simple TV unit under a small budget: a wall shelf or floating unit is enough if wires are hidden.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Stone: Italian marble and onyx are premium; sintered stone and stone-look laminates are cheaper.
- Veneer vs laminate: veneer costs more and needs polish.
- Metal inlays and lighting.
- Size: full-wall designs cost more.
