Living room cabinets

First, assess the space. Measure the length, height, and depth available and think about clearance for doors and drawers. Consider whether you need open display space for decorative items or closed storage for media components and cables.

Think about the room’s style. A modern gloss finish or a rustic oak veneer can influence the overall vibe, so pick a cabinet that harmonizes with existing sofas, coffee tables, and curtains.

Material matters for durability. Solid wood offers longevity and a premium feel, while engineered woods like MDF with a veneer or laminate provide affordability with good looks. Glass-front display cabinets can showcase treasured keepsakes, books or decorative items.

TV stands and media consoles with integrated cable management are perfect for a clean, entertainment-focused setup. Display cabinets and bookcases create a focal point and storage for books, photos, and souvenirs. Corner cabinets maximize dead space in small rooms, while wall-mounted or floating cabinets free up floor space for a lighter feel.

For a cohesive look, pair a living room cabinet with a matching sideboard or console table, or mix finishes for a contemporary gallery vibe. Floating options can add depth, while tall pantry-style cabinets bring substantial storage without crowding the room.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and use appropriate cleaners for the finish, avoid harsh chemicals on wood veneers and lacquered surfaces. For wood cabinets, apply a quality furniture polish or oil to preserve warmth and sheen. If you have glass-front doors, wipe with a gentle glass cleaner to keep visibility clear and pristine.

Keep components secured and doors aligned to prevent wear over time. Protect wood from direct sunlight, which can fade finishes, and use coasters or pads to prevent scratches on surfaces used for lamps, decor, or electronics.

Solid wood cabinets, such as oak, walnut, or ash, offer durability and a timeless look that can be refinished over the years. Engineered woods like MDF or plywood with a veneer or laminate surface provide stability and affordability while still delivering a premium appearance. Lacquered or painted finishes (including white, black, or grey) create sleek, contemporary vibes and are easier to wipe clean, making them ideal for high-traffic living rooms.

Glass-front options with tempered glass are great for display purposes, while metal accents can add an industrial touch. Consider soft-close hinges and sturdy drawer runners for long-term usability, especially in busy family rooms where storage is used daily.

Select a size that fits the wall space without overcrowding the room. Measure the visible area and ensure there is at least 60–80 cm of clearance in front of doors or drawers to allow easy access. For shelves and display areas, plan for items you intend to showcase and leave space for occasional rearrangements. If you have a small lounge, consider a tall, slim cabinet or a floating wall cabinet to maximize vertical space while keeping the floor area open.

Many modern living room cabinets include cable management features such as grommets, pass-through holes, and routed channels to keep wires organized behind TVs, gaming consoles, and soundbars. If you’re buying a display or media cabinet, look for adjustable shelves and recessed backs to hide cables neatly and maintain a tidy look.

Yes. Corner cabinets, slim bookcases, and floating wall units help maximise storage without crowding the floor space. Wall-mounted storage creates an illusion of more room, while tall cabinets provide vertical storage that draws the eye upward, making the area feel more expansive.

Aim for a balanced layout. Place a TV stand opposite seating for comfortable viewing, with a display cabinet or bookcase nearby to create a focal point. Match finishes across pieces for cohesion, and consider a central rug to anchor the space while cabinets frame the seating area. If you have natural light, position lighter finishes to reflect brightness and open up the room visually.

Dust regularly and use a damp, not wet, cloth when cleaning. Apply a recommended furniture polish or wax for solid wood to maintain moisture balance and sheen. For veneers, avoid excess moisture that can peel layers; use a soft brush or microfiber cloth for routine care. Rotate items on shelves to prevent uneven fading from sunlight, and tighten screws periodically to keep doors aligned and stable.
