TV units and media walls set the tone for living rooms and lounges in Dubai. Instylea plans, builds, and installs custom TV units and full media walls across Dubai and the wider UAE. The goal is simple, a neat focal point that hides cables, adds storage, and looks right for your space. If you searched for TV unit Dubai, media wall Dubai, Instylea Interior, or Instylea.com, this guide covers design choices, materials, sizing, lighting, and the process from survey to handover.

What is a TV unit or media wall

A TV unit is the cabinet, shelving, and paneling around your television. A media wall stretches the idea across the full wall with cladding, floating consoles, concealed wiring, and LED lighting. Popular Dubai layouts include a slim floating console, a recessed TV niche with space for a soundbar, vertical fluted panels, and warm back lighting. For joinery and cladding ideas, see Wall Paneling at https://instylea.com/wall-paneling/ and Custom Furniture at https://instylea.com/custom-furniture/.

Why custom makes sense in Dubai homes

Apartments and villas often have AC grilles, columns, and mixed wall widths. A custom plan centers the TV, protects airflow, hides cables, and adds useful storage without blocking sockets. A fitted media wall looks built in and supports property value. If you are also updating window treatments, Motorized Curtains at pair well with media walls by cutting glare and heat.

Popular styles in Dubai

Floating lowline, a slim console mounted to the wall, easy to clean under, great for modern apartments

Built in cabinetry, full height doors and drawers for remotes, routers, and gaming gear, a clean family friendly choice

Fluted or slat panels, warm texture with strong vertical lines, pairs well with LED back glow

Gypsum with paint, smooth and minimal, easy to form niches and soft curves

Stone look fascia, sintered stone or porcelain slabs for a durable premium face that resists scratches

LED feature lighting, warm white around 3000K, dimmable for movie time

Fireplace media wall, electric fireplace section with safe clearances and independent lighting

Materials that work in the UAE

For structure, moisture resistant MDF or plywood is common. Finishes include matte paint, PU, HPL laminates, and real wood veneer. Sintered stone and porcelain resist heat and scratches, useful near open kitchens and sunny windows. Glass shelves, aluminum trims, and soft close hardware raise the finish quality. For rentals and busy family homes, HPL is a tough option that cleans fast. For luxury villas and high end apartments, real veneer with clear PU gives a natural grain with good wear when cared for correctly.

Sizing rules that keep viewing comfortable

Match TV size to viewing distance. A 65 inch TV suits roughly 2 to 3 meters. Keep the screen center near seated eye height, about 100 to 110 cm from the floor for sofas. Leave 8 to 10 cm clear below the TV for a soundbar or center speaker. If you plan side towers, allow 6 to 8 cm breathing room around the TV recess. Add grommets and a removable service hatch so future cable swaps are simple. Plan shelf heights to fit consoles and set top boxes, and keep ventilation gaps behind closed doors.

Cable management and storage ideas

Hide power strips inside the unit, label HDMI and power lines, and route low voltage away from mains for clean signals. A flip down door works well for routers and streaming devices since it keeps lights out of sight while allowing airflow. Drawers keep remotes and controllers tidy. Ask the installer to leave a pull string in the main trunk so you can add cables later without opening panels.

Lighting that adds depth without glare

LED strips behind panels create a soft halo that reduces harsh contrast. A wash under a floating console lifts the floor visually. Keep light sources outside the screen reflection path and choose dimmable drivers. Warm white around 3000K is comfortable for Dubai living rooms, bright enough for guests, soft enough for movie nights. If you need task light for decor pieces, add small spots with a separate switch.

Safety and mounting

Fix the TV mount to solid structure, not only gypsum. In apartments, look for concrete or block behind the wall. In villas, use proper anchors sized for the TV weight. Keep low voltage and mains in separate conduits. For heavy stone cladding, confirm wall load capacity during the survey. Place power points inside the cabinet with a fused spur, and allow service access for drivers and transformers.

Process with Instylea

It starts with a free site visit in Dubai or nearby cities. Measurements are taken, photos help map sockets and AC, and finish samples are reviewed. You receive a clear quotation listing panel material, console size, lighting, hardware, and paint or veneer. Production happens in a controlled workshop, then a scheduled crew completes the fit. Standard apartment sets often finish in a day, larger villa walls may need two. Before handover, cable paths are checked, doors aligned, lights tested, and surfaces cleaned.
