A television is often the focal point of a living room, but the unit it rests on is what truly anchors the space. Finding the right piece of furniture is a balancing act between style and function. You need a unit that complements your decor, fits your television securely and, most importantly, conceals the clutter of cables, game consoles and media players. A disorganised entertainment area can detract from an otherwise tidy room.
As the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, my role is to help you navigate the options. This guide offers practical advice for choosing a modern tv stand with storage and highlights a few selections that balance contemporary design with everyday utility, helping you create a streamlined and inviting living space.
Before you start browsing, considering a few key factors will ensure you find a media console that meets your needs perfectly.
The first step is to measure both your television and the area where the stand will go. A common guideline is to choose a stand that is at least a few centimetres wider than your television on both sides. This creates a stable base and a visually balanced look. For example, if you are looking for a tv stand for a 65 inch tv, a unit around 150 cm or wider is often a suitable choice. Also, consider the height. The centre of your screen should be roughly at eye level when you are seated to ensure comfortable viewing.
Think about what you need to store. Do you have multiple gaming consoles, a soundbar and a collection of physical media? Or do you just need a place for a streaming box and a few remotes?
The TV stand should be a cohesive part of your room's overall aesthetic. Whether you prefer a minimalist entertainment centre, a rustic wood tv cabinet, or a bold industrial tv unit, the materials and finish are key. Engineered wood offers versatility and clean lines for modern looks, while solid wood and metal combinations can introduce texture and character.
Here are a few recommendations that exemplify modern design and practical storage.
Why It Stands Out The Galano Limestone unit is the definition of a minimalist entertainment centre. Its clean, handle-less design and crisp white finish create a bright, uncluttered feel. At 150 cm wide, it’s perfectly proportioned for larger screens, including 65-inch models, providing a stable and stylish platform.
Pros
Who is it for? This is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a white tv stand with drawers to achieve a tidy, modern aesthetic. It’s particularly well-suited for those who need to store numerous accessories out of sight.
Why It Stands Out The Galano Sufly unit brings a touch of warmth to modern design with its appealing ivory and oak-effect two-tone finish. It offers a balanced approach to storage, with two cabinets flanking a central open-shelf area, making it a highly functional entertainment unit for a living room.
Pros
Who is it for? This unit is perfect for those who appreciate modern design but want to avoid a clinical look. It suits homeowners who need a mix of storage types for different devices and accessories.
Why It Stands Out For those drawn to a more characterful aesthetic, the Pembroke TV unit is a standout. It merges a rustic, solid pine wood tv cabinet with stark, black powder-coated metal legs, creating a striking industrial tv unit. The design is both robust and stylish, making a confident statement.
Pros
Who is it for? This is the ideal choice for individuals looking to furnish a space with an industrial, rustic, or modern farmhouse theme. It’s for someone who values the durability and timeless appeal of natural wood combined with a contemporary edge.
If these selections aren't quite the right fit for your home, there are many other styles and configurations to consider. From floating wall-mounted units to corner stands, the perfect solution for your space is out there.

For visual balance and stability, your TV stand should be at least 10-15 cm wider than your television overall (5-7.5 cm on each side). This prevents the setup from looking top-heavy and reduces the risk of the TV being knocked.
The ideal height depends on your sofa and your eye level when seated. As a general rule, the centre of the television screen should be at or slightly below eye level. For most living rooms, a TV stand between 45 cm and 60 cm in height works well.
Many modern TV stands come with built-in cable management features, such as cut-outs in the back panel. You can also use cable ties, clips or sleeves to bundle wires together neatly. For a completely clean look, routing cables through a wall is an option, though it requires more installation work. Using a media console with cabinets allows you to place power strips and excess cable lengths inside, keeping them completely out of sight.
