Modernize Your Home Theater: European TV Units

What’s the neatest spot in your home?

We would venture a guess that it’s probably not the entertainment center. Stray wires everywhere! Piles of DVD cases and random knick knacks! Even the cable boxes are shoved in awkwardly at times.

After all, this is the spot where we relax, so we might not be in the mood to do much work when it comes to organizing our TV units. Well-planned storage has a calming effect. This is the strength of modern European TV wall units.

So what are ways that a European entertainment center makes home theater a lot more fun?

1. Clean Modern Build

European entertainment units are generally symmetrical, clean and practical - a refreshing alternative to the bulky cabinets we’ve grown used to. This furniture is often lightweight and thin, yet strong enough to support the television and other heavy devices.

Beyond the puristic look, units like this TV stand from Team 7 do an excellent job of keeping your living room organized. Dedicated cabinets and cord flaps for the cable box, DVD or Blue Ray player, and video game systems create order for the electronics maze. For speakers, an attractive cover conceals all the parts while letting sound pass through unhindered, and its inside chamber optimizes sound performance.

This TV stand from the Cubus Pure range also boasts great ventilation for these humming machines, and an optional smart device charging station. These thoughtful details help solve a lot of problems with keeping media organized.

2. Individual Design

Another trait of modern European TV wall units is the degree of individuality. Every one is different, and could range from white and minimalistic to sleek, black units with snazzy lighting. You can really let your personality shine here.

Depending on the brand, you could choose from a large assortment of finishes, lacquer and wood being some of the more popular options. The European modular units build on themselves and give basically unlimited size and shape measurements in order to fit the space.

3. Great Mixed Storage

Whether you prefer a single all-purpose unit or you like to spread things out, European media furniture offers great mixed storage options. This usually includes drawers for disc storage, but can also include separate library shelving, as seen here with this media center from Nobilia’s Structura range. The shelving compartments are wall-mounted above the compact TV stand, finished in white laminate and wood-style veneer respectively.

This flexibility means that furniture can serve several different purposes, in basically any wall or corner of the home. This leads us to our next point.

4. Kitchen-Living Room Integration


Kitchens have changed a lot over the years in terms of their role in the home. Today, the kitchen has become a gathering area just as much as a place for cooking, so our social activity in the home tends to flow from the kitchen to the living room. Integrated kitchen-living room spaces are most effective when furniture is planned to connect them.

Leicht, for example, is a brand well-known in Germany for modern luxury kitchens. But if you notice, kitchen cabinets are not very different from storage furniture like TV units and sideboards. Hence, many of the Leicht cabinet lines are interchangeable and work just as well in the living room. A tall set of cabinets is very effective for storing books and media.
