Freestanding items can also be statement pieces that will lead the style of the room. This type of furniture is perfect for when you have a lot of space as it fills the room without cluttering it.
Also, on many occasions, we already have freestanding furniture and instead of changing it, you can make a few small changes to revamp your TV unit.. Instead of spending money on new pieces, think about refurbishing your old furniture and add a vintage touch to your home. Also, this is the sustainable route!
#4: TV Unit Design for a Small Space
Don’t miss the green pop!
When your furniture sticks with the brevity of space, you know you got the design right. This compact TV unit ticks all the boxes for a small space. There is a white back panel, a pop of colour and some contrast too!
#5: Customised TV Unit With a Pop of Yellow
Create your own layout that is only partially customised
Wondering how we got that bright pop of yellow here that is usually not a part of low-cost simple TV unit designs? It’s customised, of course, but only partially. Most of the modules are picked from the Livspace catalogue save the yellow drawers at the bottom. This checks the price of this affordable piece.
#6: Modular Low-cost Simple Tv Unit Designs With Wallpaper
That lovely pop of blue is a wallpaper
The pop of blue on the wall is undeniably the highlight of this TV cabinet. But, the interesting point to note is that it is also super affordable because the back panel is actually blue wallpaper. The white floating unit below complements the blue perfectly.
#7: Low-cost Simple TV Unit designs Made of MDF
The trick keeping the budget in check is the materials used in it
The material used for the base cabinets of this piece is MDF, which is an affordable variety of engineered wood. This material is perfectly suitable for TV units because the TV is usually not placed in an area that is damp. This is because MDF is not moisture-resistant. So check the walls for dampness.
#8: A TV Unit That is Also an Accent Wall
Bring the attention to the TV unit and hit two birds with a stone
All living rooms usually have a TV unit; they also have an accent wall that serves as the highlight of the space. If you combine both, you have cut your costs by half! And that is exactly what we did here.
#9: TV Unit Design With Open Shelves
More open shelves than drawers mean the total cost is substantially lower
Here’s a fun fact, open shelves cost much less than drawers. And when you pick open shelves for storage and display instead of drawers or cabinets, you are saving plenty on the cost of your TV cabinet. Moreover, it also looks rather fine, doesn’t it?
#10: Low-cost Simple TV Unit Designs Using Modular Units
All of these are modular units placed within a customised design
Modular furniture is always more affordable than custom pieces. But, you can still customise your TV unit design within your budget. For instance, this TV unit has a fully customised design that has been created using different modular units from our catalogue. And doesn’t it look dapper!
#11: TV Unit Design With Wallpaper Finish
That’s wallpaper finish on the TV unit here!
