TV Wall Unit & Living Room Design Guide Dubai
A TV wall is usually the focal point of a Dubai living room or majlis — and it's one of the easiest pieces of joinery to get wrong by not planning early enough. This guide covers the layouts, finishes and practical details worth deciding before your design is finalised.
At a Glance
The two decisions that matter most before design starts: cable and router management (plan for hidden routing before the wall is built, not after) and whether you want floor-to-ceiling storage or a floating media unit with open wall space above. OPPEIN UAE designs TV walls to the exact width and height of your wall, with integrated LED lighting and hidden cable management as standard.

What to Plan Before Your TV Wall Is Designed
1. Cable and router management
Decide where the router, set-top box and power points sit before the unit is manufactured — retrofitting hidden cable routes after installation is far harder than planning it into the original design.
2. TV size and mounting height
The recess or mounting point needs to be sized for your actual TV, not a generic assumption — confirm your TV size (or planned upgrade size) before the unit is finalised.
3. Storage vs open display
Closed cabinets hide clutter but reduce the airy feel floating units provide. Most Dubai living rooms use a mix: closed storage at the base, open or glass display above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a TV wall unit match my kitchen and wardrobe finishes?
Yes. Since OPPEIN UAE manufactures all cabinetry in-house, lacquer colours, veneer species and hardware finishes can be precisely matched across your TV wall, kitchen and wardrobes for a fully coordinated home.
How long does a custom TV wall unit take in Dubai?
Lead time is typically similar to a fitted wardrobe — around 4–7 weeks from design sign-off to delivery, with on-site installation completed in 1–2 days.
