Its clean lines and slender form exude a serene, contemporary charm, while the organic wooden finish imparts a touch of warm, naturalistic grace to a living space.

The rich dark wood adds a modern mid-century twist, making it a versatile selection for various decor themes. The unit is immaculately crafted with horizontal slatted front drawers, lending a subtle texture that refrains from overwhelming the visual space.

Elevated on four neat standing feet, it presents an airy profile that contributes to a sense of spaciousness within the room. There's thoughtful consideration to upkeep, with an easy-to-clean surface that resists the trials of everyday use.

Although the dark wood finish is practical, it may show dust more readily than lighter alternatives, necessitating frequent dusting to maintain its pristine appearance.

Price:$582 $549

This sleek, low-profile unit is a true testament to the fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality, exuding tranquility and understated sophistication in its design.

Its robust rectangular form, graced with a rich black oak hue, lends a striking contrast to interiors, effortlessly weaving itself into various colour schemes.

The elongated silhouette with craftily sculpted drawer faces introduces a textural element, providing a refined visual intrigue without overwhelming the senses.

A caveat, however, lies in its monochromatic finish which, while adding a graphic flair, may mask the intricate craftsmanship to an unobservant eye.

Nevertheless, the modular nature of this piece is commendable, offering adaptability to suit variegated spatial requirements - from a centrepiece in the living area to discrete storage solutions in a bedroom setting.

Laudable too is the practicality considered for everyday maintenance. The surface is amenable to effortless cleaning, a boon for busy homes.

Drawing together form and function with a poised ease, this piece encapsulates elegant interior design with a functional ethos.

Type:Tv unit
Materials:Mdf, Oak solid wood, Rubber wood
Themes:Mid-century, Japandi
Dimensions:L 160,200cm x W 40cm x H 58cm
Price:$769 $669

This elegant piece emanates a charismatic mid-century vibe, blending timeless style and a modern touch in equal measure which is accentuated by its smooth, curved silhouette that brings a unique character to any room.

The unit's clear Japandi influence reflects a harmonious blend of the minimalistic Japanese aesthetic with the functional Scandinavian design, appealing to contemporary tastes.

Crafted with stark, solid rubberwood legs, this creation is a nod to sturdiness, while complementing the lighter, nature-inspired hue of its engineered wood surface that hints at a soft, organic appeal.

The intricacy of the ribbed pattern on its surface is a tasteful choice, introducing subtle texture without overwhelming the space. This dynamism can stand as both a standout feature against a minimalist backdrop, or harmonise within a more pattern-rich environment.

Available in a choice of two shades, this unit offers the flexibility to slip seamlessly into varied colour schemes. However, some may find the oval shape less fitting for angular rooms or those preferring a more traditional rectangular configuration.

Despite this, the advantages of the shape in creating a sense of spaciousness in smaller areas are noteworthy.

It's a statement piece poised to fuse sophistication with daily life, though one could argue that the potential for wear and tear on the engineered wood surface may not rival that of solid hardwood.

The unit's tubular legs echo a modern flair, adding a subtle design element that is both current and timeless.

It's versatile enough to harmonize with various decor themes, from the laidback vibe of a coastal setting to the eclectic energy of boho-chic interiors.

Its ample storage options, which cleverly conceal clutter, are a nod to the importance of practicality in contemporary homes.

A potential downside is that, due to its simplicity, those with a penchant for more ornate or statement-making furnishings may find it a tad understated.

Moreover, its surface could potentially show scratches or wear over time, demanding gentle care. Nevertheless, its allure lies in its simplicity and the calming ambience it promises to any room.

Tips For Buying Japandi TV Units

Balance and Simplicity

Right, when we talk about Japandi, we're looking at a blend of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics. The key here is to keep things minimal and functional, while still making sure the area feels cosy. In my experience, a TV unit that echoes these principles will not only hold your telly but also become a statement piece in the room. Always look for clean lines and a simple design, potentially in a natural wood finish, which is very much in line with the Japandi philosophy.

Material Matters

The materials used in your TV unit are so important. Japandi is all about authenticity and natural elements. Go for solid wood like oak or walnut; these materials have that warmth and durability we want. Sometimes, you’ll find blended materials with a hint of metal which can look smashing if done right. Just steer away from anything too shiny or plastic-y. In my projects, I've often gone for matte finishes that add a subtle elegance to the piece.

Colour and Texture

Now, for the colour palette, think earthy and neutral tones. We want to evoke a sense of serene calm. Whites, greys, and soft blacks are your chums here. In terms of texture, something with a tactile quality can be just the ticket — think a wood grain that you can feel under your fingertips or a mix of smooth surfaces next to something a bit more rough-hewn.

Function and Storage

Don't forget, your TV unit needs to be as practical as it is pretty. Consider the storage options it's offering. I've had clients adore those with hidden compartments or sliding doors for a clean look that hides the clutter — we all have a bit, don't we? And of course, remember to check the dimensions — both of the TV unit and your TV, especially if you're mounting it on the unit. We want to ensure everything fits perfectly, with a bit of room to spare for any extras like a soundbar or gaming consoles.

Harmony with the Rest of the Space

Lastly, think about how the TV unit will sit within your existing space. The beauty of Japandi is its soothing, harmonious nature. The TV unit shouldn't scream for attention; instead, it should complement the other furniture pieces and the overall scheme of the room. I always suggest sketching out the room layout or using a design app to visualise how it’ll all come together. It’s saved more than a few of my clients from a design mishap!
