Jali TV Units: Made-to-Measure Storage for Your Living Room

Finding a TV cabinet that fits your room properly can be harder than you’d expect. You might find one that’s the right colour but too wide, or one that fits perfectly but doesn’t have enough storage. Jali TV units offer a practical alternative. You can choose your own measurements, layout and finish to create furniture that suits your home, rather than making do with a standard-sized cabinet.

Whether you’re making better use of an awkward alcove, replacing an old TV stand or giving your living room a fresh look, a little thought about your storage can make a big difference.

Why Choose Jali TV Units for Your Home?

Every home is different, and not all living rooms have a convenient space for a television.

Perhaps you’ve got a chimney breast with alcoves either side. Maybe the room is quite narrow, or you’ve got a large wall that needs something more substantial than a small TV stand.

With Jali TV units, you can choose the width, height and depth of your furniture. You can also adjust the arrangement of cupboards and shelves to suit the things you want to store.

It’s particularly useful when standard furniture sizes don’t work.

Have a look at our made-to-measure TV units to see the different possibilities.

Made-to-Measure TV Cabinets with Practical Storage

These days, most televisions come with a collection of extras.

There might be a games console, a streaming device, remote controls, DVDs or a soundbar. And, of course, there’s usually a tangle of cables somewhere behind everything.

A good TV cabinet should give all these things somewhere to live.

When designing your Jali TV unit, think about which items you’d like to keep on display and which you’d rather tuck away.

Open shelves are handy for equipment you use regularly, while cupboards are ideal for hiding the less attractive bits and pieces.

You can also adjust shelf heights to accommodate different equipment.

Just remember that electronic devices need suitable ventilation, and plan where the cables will go before finalising your design.

Jali TV Units for Small Spaces and Alcoves

In a smaller living room, every centimetre counts.

A cabinet that’s too deep can make the room feel cramped, while one that’s too wide can get in the way of doors or walkways.

Choosing a made-to-measure TV cabinet allows you to get the proportions right.

For example, you might want a narrow unit that sits neatly against a wall or a taller design that makes use of the space above your television.

Alcoves can also be brilliant places for storage, especially in older properties.

Jali’s online designer includes fitting options for skirting boards, corners and alcoves, helping you make better use of spaces that aren’t always straightforward.

And there’s something very satisfying about furniture that fits neatly where it’s supposed to.

Choosing the Right Style for Your Living Room

Your TV unit is likely to be one of the larger pieces of furniture in your living room, so it’s worth thinking about how it will look alongside everything else.

If you’ve got a traditional home, Shaker-style doors, decorative mouldings or fretwork panels might work nicely.

For a contemporary room, you may prefer plain cupboard doors and simple lines.

There are plenty of finishing options available too, including painted finishes, oak veneer, white primer and plain MDF.

If you enjoy decorating, a primed or unfinished option gives you the chance to paint your furniture to match your existing colour scheme.

How to Measure for Your Jali TV Unit

Before you start designing, grab a tape measure and check the available space carefully.

Measure the width of the wall or alcove, along with the maximum height and depth you’d like your cabinet to be.

It’s worth checking the width in a few places, especially in older houses where walls aren’t always completely straight.

Look out for sockets, skirting boards, radiators and anything else that could affect the fit.

Then think about your television.

If it will stand on the cabinet, check the measurements of its feet or base. If it’s wall-mounted, make sure there’s enough room for the screen and any associated equipment.

It’s also worth checking your preferred viewing distance. The Which? television size guide has some helpful advice on choosing a suitable screen size.

Spending a little time on measurements now can save a lot of frustration later.

Design Your Own Jali TV Units Online

One of the useful things about Jali is that you can experiment with different ideas using the online furniture designer.

You don’t have to start from scratch, either.

You can choose an existing design, adjust its measurements and change the arrangement of shelves, doors and other features.

Perhaps you’d like extra cupboards below the television, open shelves for books or storage on either side of the screen.

Jali’s made-to-measure range is supplied as custom-made flat-pack furniture for assembly at home.

There are also pre-designed, made-to-order TV units available for customers who prefer a different approach.

You can explore both options through the Jali TV units collection.
