Media/tv unit

8 years ago

Hi is this a custom build? I'm looking for something like this but max 2 metres wide and 2 metres high. I like the curved shelves but they would have to be on the left hand end. Roughly how much are we talking please?

Tim thanks for your reply. Yes I'd like to have a chat about the options. I'm just in the early stages at the minute. Also I'm off on hols shortly so realistically it will be early May before I pick this up again. Maybe we can fix a call sometime around 5 or 6 May? Also where are you based? Cheers Howard

I agree you probably need to go bespoke but use an independant carpenter rather than a large bespoke furniture company. I think overall you'll be happier with the finished look too if you get something to fit the space properly and show off your fab TV. The carpenter could include space for a soundbar or other accessories you have with your TV. You could also have a built in cupboard underneath for some extra storage. Good luck with the project!

Alcove TV Unit, TV is 0.5cm too big! What about ceiling speakers?
Q

Hi Tony. I think having the tv at an angle and building the cupboard out a little is probably the best option if you didn’t want to downsize the tv. Regarding speakers, ceiling speakers are a good idea if you’re in the construction phase, they usually come in pairs (left and right) and four would be more than adequate for a large room. You would need the ceiling speaker hoods as well for fire and sound protection. Also the necessary wiring would need to be hidden and all speaker wires go to an AV receiver which then connects to tv ( I think...not really an expert on this). Have a look at Richer sounds website, they should have lots of info: https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/in-wall-ceiling-speakers.html @ Jonathan, I can feel my hubby’s horrified look if he heard you say that TVs alone have adequate speakers ;-) (he is a perfectionist when it comes to tech stuff mind). We prefer freestanding speakers so we can upgrade as and when. And finally is the fireplace already existing? If not (at the risk of offending other Houzzers:)) maybe consider tv set into chimney breast above a low ribbon style fire, perhaps bio ethanol fuel as these wouldn’t need a flue. Tv above fire is usually a big no no as the tv is too high up and would cause neck strain but the modern styles could work well. Some photos for inspiration (click to enlarge)

Thank you. My space is a little restricted (under the pitched roof) so thinking to opt for small rectangular unit. I appreciate it's difficult without a photo but currently space under the TV serves as storage so not doing it any favour! Did you manage to run all cables through the cable organiser? Your space looks nice!

TV unit around a radiator
Q

I had considered removing it It at it is one of the smaller radiators in the room. I don't turn it on often but haven't lived through a winter yet with the new flooring etc. So I am reluctant to get rid of the radiator all together just incase I find I need it. The heating works on wireless system that controls the valves so the room is always at the correct temperature.
