Wooden TV cabinet

Looking for a cool wooden TV unit? Or do you already have a piece of furniture in mind? Then it is wise to read up beforehand on the size, the type of wood, and how to treat the TV unit.

Treating a wooden TV unit is important. Thanks to the treatment, the piece of furniture will last longer and the quality of the wood will remain good for longer. You can also treat softwoods such as oak, spruce, and pine in a color of your choice. You can also treat tropical and hardwoods with Osmo. This way, you create a wooden TV unit that fits perfectly in your living room. An Osmo treatment offers protection against moisture, such as water, wine, and coffee. Moreover, the treatment also offers protection against dirt on the surface and reduces scratches. Furthermore, no rings or grease stains will form on the surface. So, you can safely place a vase of flowers on the TV unit without water rings forming. Osmo TopOil is the product to treat a wooden TV unit with.

• Based on natural, plant-based oils and waxes
• High yield, 1L = treats 24m²
• Water-repellent and wear-resistant
• Resistant to household chemicals and stains

How big should the piece of furniture actually be? Naturally, you don't want to buy a piece that is too large and doesn't fit well in the living room. But a wooden TV unit that is too small isn't attractive either.

The piece of furniture is often not used solely to support the TV. Decorations are also placed on it, such as candles, glasses, and flowers. Other equipment, such as a soundbar, is also placed on it.

The size of a wooden TV unit is also closely related to the size of the TV. If the TV barely fits on the unit, the appearance isn't very nice. So make sure you leave a few centimeters of space on both sides of the TV unit. Both sides can then be decorated with decorations of your choice. Not really into decoration? Then a TV unit that is wide enough to fit your TV is also fine.

The height of a wooden TV unit

The height of a wooden TV unit is also important. With a piece of furniture that is too low, watching TV becomes uncomfortable after a while, and you may develop neck problems. Therefore, ensure that the height of the TV is at least level with your hair when you sit upright on the sofa. If you want the TV to be higher than the wooden unit, consider mounting the TV on the wall.

Wood Type TV Unit

The most commonly used wood type is an oak TV unit. This wood is light in color and creates a calm atmosphere in the living room. An advantage of an oak TV unit is that it can be treated to achieve a variety of looks and colors. Whether you want a natural look or a black TV unit, it is all possible with oak.

Pine TV Unit

Pine wood is known for its beautiful flame patterns. Like oak, this wood type is a light wood. After treatment, the flames become even more prominent, creating a real eye-catcher in the living room.

Acacia Wood TV Unit

Acacia wood is a solid wood type with a fine grain, flame pattern, and various color shades. An acacia wood TV unit lasts a long time, and after treatment, the surface remains beautiful for a very long time.

Tropical hardwoods

TV units are also made from tropical hardwoods, such as Merbau, Jatoba, and Mahogany. These wood types are characterized by their dark red to dark brown tones. These wood types create a classic and warm look in the living room.
