TV Cabinet - Stylish & Room for All Your Equipment

TV Cabinet — Storage & Style in Your Living Room

A TV cabinet is the big brother of the TV unit. Where a TV unit primarily offers a platform for the television, a TV cabinet also provides substantial storage space: doors, drawers, shelves — all in one place. Ideal for families who want to keep their living room tidy, or for those who want to give a home to a lot of equipment, games, books, and DVDs. At Industrial Home, we make custom TV cabinets from wood, with metal accents and the finish of your choice.

TV Cabinet vs. TV Unit: What's the Difference?

The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but there is a clear difference:

• TV unit: low, wide, little storage space. Primarily for the television and some devices. Aesthetic, minimal.
• TV cabinet: higher structure, more cabinet space. Combination of open and closed compartments, doors, drawers. More functional, more storage space.

A TV cabinet is the better choice if you want to store a lot and want a tidy living room. Everything you don't always need disappears behind the doors. The television area remains sleek and clear.

Types of TV Cabinets

Low TV Cabinet (Dresser-style)

A wide, low cabinet of 50–60 cm high with multiple doors and/or drawers. Resembles a dresser but is wider and specifically has a central compartment for the television. Ideal if you like a low, horizontal design and want to hang or place the television at a low level.

High TV Cabinet (Media Center)

A taller cabinet of 100–200 cm that, in addition to the television, also offers upper compartments for decoration, books, and storage. This is a media center: everything on one wall, including the television at eye level. Gives a complete, built-in feel.

TV Wall Unit (Floor-to-ceiling)

The most architectural solution: a cabinet that covers the entire wall from floor to ceiling, with the television built into the middle. This gives a dramatic, built-in effect that transforms the living room. At Industrial Home, we make this entirely custom — every wall, every dimension.

Corner TV Cabinet

For those who want to utilize a corner of the living room. A corner TV cabinet fits exactly into the 90° angle and maximizes the use of an otherwise underutilized part of the room. Requires precise custom measurements — we can help with that.

Materials

TV cabinets at Industrial Home are made from solid wood or a combination of solid wood and panel material for the interior walls. The visible parts — doors, sides, the top — are always made of solid wood or high-quality melamine veneer with a solid wood edge. Popular choices:

• Natural oak: warm, timeless, fits anywhere
• Matte white lacquered: sleek, modern, spacious
• Natural mango wood: expressive, warm, unique
• Anthracite / dark grey: modern, robust, dramatic
• Combination wood + matte black: industrial-modern

TV Cabinet as a Wall Unit

More and more customers are choosing a TV wall unit that also functions as a storage cabinet for the rest of the living room. Books, games, plates, collections — everything on one wall, structured and stylish. At Industrial Home, we design TV wall units that are precisely tailored to your wall, with a mix of open and closed compartments that match your personal storage needs.

Cable Management in a TV Cabinet

A TV cabinet has more equipment than a TV unit — receiver, game console, soundbar, router, Apple TV. Cables can quickly become a mess. We provide standard holes and cable routing in the back panel. Upon request, we can install a hidden cable duct. This way, the front of your cabinet always remains sleek and cable-free.

Frequently Asked Questions about TV Cabinets

How high should a TV cabinet be?

That depends on your television and the height of your space. For a low TV cabinet: 45–60 cm, with the television on top or mounted on the wall above. For a high media center style: 120–180 cm. For floor-to-ceiling: fully custom. We always advise based on your room layout.

Can I hide my existing router and game consoles in a TV cabinet?

Yes. We design compartments specifically for your equipment — with ventilation openings (devices get hot and need airflow) and cable routing. Provide the dimensions of your devices, and we will take them into account.

Is a custom TV cabinet more expensive than a ready-made one?

A custom-made TV cabinet fits exactly in your space and is made of higher quality materials. The initial investment is higher, but the lifespan is much longer. In 10–15 years, a custom cabinet will be the cheapest option.
