How to plan a built-in TV wall unit
- Measure your TV and devices. Leave space for the set-top box, router and soundbar.
- Plan sockets inside the unit. Avoid wires running across the wall.
- Ventilate electronics. Closed cabinets need gaps or vents.
- Balance open and closed storage. Too many open shelves look cluttered.
- Keep the TV at eye level when seated.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Built-in vs floating: full wall units cost more.
- Material: ply with laminate or veneer, cement or microcement.
- Glass and lighting.
- Hardware: drawers and push-to-open fittings.
