Living-room furniture
A place for everything
Fitted cabinets and shelving can organise books, display pieces and media equipment while relating to the architecture of the room.
Resolve details early
Storage, display and equipment
Television position, cable access, sockets, equipment ventilation and future maintenance should be discussed before the design is finalised. A neat exterior is only useful when the equipment remains accessible.
Open shelves bring selected objects into the room; closed cabinets reduce visual clutter. The balance follows what you want to show and what you need to store.
Equipment space and cable routes are considered early.
Shelf proportions can frame selected objects.
Low cabinets keep everyday items out of sight.
The fitted layout relates to alcoves and architecture.
Scope
Agree every responsibility
The furniture specification should distinguish cabinetry from any television mounting, equipment supply or electrical work. These items must not be assumed to be included unless they are written into the agreed scope.
