A Fantastic Furniture TV unit is a television stand or media console sold by Fantastic Furniture Australia designed to support, display and house your television, media devices, entertainment accessories and living‑room décor. In simple terms, it’s the piece of furniture that sits under or around your TV — helping organise your electronics, conceal cables, store remote controls, and anchor your entertainment area visually and functionally.
Here’s why this matters: the TV unit is often one of the central furnishings in a living space — it literally and stylistically brings focus to where people gather, watch movies, play games, stream music, or relax after a long day. Fantastic Furniture’s range makes this foundational piece accessible without breaking the budget.

How to Choose a Fantastic Furniture TV Unit
Choosing the right TV unit is about matching function, space, design aesthetic and lifestyle needs. Here’s a practical buyer’s guide to help you select the best one for your home.
Step 1: Measure Your Space Carefully
Before anything else:
-
Measure the width of your TV
-
Check the height and depth of the unit space
-
Allow clearance for cables, airflow and speakers
As a rule of thumb, the TV unit should be slightly wider than your TV for a balanced look, and positioned at a comfortable eye level when seated.
Step 2: Choose the Right Style for the Room
Consider the room’s overall vibe:
-
Modern interiors pair well with sleek, low‑profile units
-
Warm, classic spaces benefit from timber finishes
-
Compact rooms might favour floating or corner units
Think about how the TV unit will coordinate with your existing sofa, rug, shelving and décor.
Step 3: Decide How Much Storage You Need
Ask:
-
Will you store consoles, DVDs, games and accessories?
-
Do you want hidden storage or open display shelves?
Units with closed cabinets are great for a tidy look, while open shelving works well when you want quick access or want to style décor items.
Step 4: Consider Materials & Finish
Fantastic Furniture TV units come in a variety of finishes:
-
Melamine timber‑look for everyday durability
-
High‑gloss panels for a modern edge
-
Textured veneers for tactile depth
Choose finishes that resist wear and match your flooring and wall tones for cohesion.
Step 5: Think About Cable Management
A good media unit should help manage cables and tech clutter. Look for:
This keeps your entertainment area organised and streamlined.
Step 6: Match Sofa & Viewing Distance
Optimal viewing comfort comes from the TV height and eye level when seated. Your TV unit should elevate the screen so it’s centred with your seated eye line — not too low or too high.
Step 7: Balance Budget and Longevity
While Fantastic Furniture TV units focus on value, consider how long you want the piece to last. If you plan to upgrade layouts later, pick a timeless silhouette that travels with evolving décor.
Use these steps to make a smart investment that supports both functionality and stylistic harmony.

The main reason Australians buy Fantastic Furniture TV units is that they deliver function, versatility and accessible style — making entertainment zones feel organised, intentional and ready for everyday use.

Trends for 2025 (Australia)
Looking towards 2025, several design and lifestyle trends are shaping how Australians choose TV units and style their entertainment areas.
Trend 1: Seamless Tech + Design
TV units that hide cables, integrate smart home devices and coordinate finishes with walls and flooring are in demand. Function and finish now go hand in hand.
Trend 2: Low & Wide Proportions
Low‑profile media units that sit horizontally across walls create a sense of spaciousness and balance modern widescreen TVs.
Trend 3: Layered Interiors
Living rooms are being styled with texture and contrast — combining soft carpets, lush textiles and sculptural lighting around media walls.
Trend 4: Multifunction Living Zones
With open‑plan living on the rise, TV units are now part of multi‑purpose spaces — blending with shelving, storage and display systems that suit varied lifestyles.
Trend 5: Natural & Warm Materials
Wood tones, earthy laminates and soft surface finishes bring warmth and tactile depth to entertainment zones — balancing cold screens and metal hardware.
Trend 6: Curated Minimalism
Less is more — TV units paired with intentional décor, not cluttered shelves, in spaces that feel calm, open and intentional.
These trends reflect a wider Australian shift: people are investing not just in function, but in spaces that feel good to live in — where style and practicality coexist.
Styling Advice: Elevating Your TV Unit Setup
In simple terms: pair practical furniture with purposeful design for a living room that feels welcoming, balanced and beautiful.
Anchor With Balanced Proportions
Choose a TV unit that fits the scale of your TV and room. A low, wide unit works well with large screens and helps elongate sight lines.
Layer Lighting
Add table lamps, floor lights or wall lights (such as pieces from Café Lighting & Living) to soften screen glare and create ambience.
Coordinate Materials
Match your TV unit’s finish with other furniture — sofas, coffee tables and shelving — to create a cohesive palette.
Decorate With Purpose
Use a few well‑chosen décor items on shelves and tops:
Conceal & Reveal
Use closed cabinetry for tech and cables, open shelving for curated décor. This keeps the core functional area clean while still showing personality.
Soft Textures Underfoot
A textured rug pulls the seating zone together and contrasts electronic surfaces with warmth.
Functional Accessories
Add baskets or trays for remotes and controllers — practical organisation that also scores style points.
With these tips, your Fantastic Furniture TV unit becomes more than just a media support — it becomes a designed centrepiece that helps define and elevate your living space.
