How to keep a TV unit minimal
- Hide everything: closed drawers for remotes, chargers and boxes.
- Choose handle-less shutters: push-to-open or J-profile handles.
- Limit colours: one or two finishes.
- Wall-mount the TV and hide all wires.
- Edit decor: three objects or fewer.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Laminate or lacquer finish: matte finishes hide fingerprints.
- Push-to-open hardware.
- Wall recess: civil work for niches costs more.
- Sliding panels: hardware and size.
