A small television unit is a compact piece of furniture designed to hold and support a TV — typically TVs up to about 50 inches — while also offering storage for media, gaming consoles, accessories and décor. In simple terms, it’s the foundation of your entertainment zone: the furniture that makes your screen feel intentional, your remotes organised, and your living space balanced. The main reason Australians love small television units is because they fit well in modest living rooms, bedrooms, studios and apartments where space is precious, while still providing practical storage and stylish presence.
Here’s why this matters: a well‑chosen small television unit transforms a blank wall or corner into a functional and beautifully styled focal point in your home.
Small television units come in a range of designs, materials and styles to suit diverse interior themes and spatial needs.

Selecting the right small television unit means balancing size, storage, style and functionality.

Ensure at least 10 – 15 cm additional width on either side for ventilation and styling
