This guide from the LA ITALIYA design team in Hyderabad covers “luxury tv unit design” in plain, practical terms.
The TV wall is the focal point of most living rooms, which means it is also the part most likely to look cluttered. Cables, consoles, speakers and screens compete for attention unless the wall is designed as one composition.
A premium entertainment wall hides the technology and shows the craft. Here is how to plan one that works for daily life and still looks calm.
The short answer
A premium TV unit is designed as a full wall composition: a screen at the right height and distance, concealed cabling, planned storage for devices, soft lighting and a consistent material palette. Good design hides the technology and keeps the wall visually quiet.

Start With Screen Size and Viewing Distance
A practical rule is to sit between about one and a half and two and a half times the screen diagonal from the screen, depending on resolution. Mount the screen so that its centre sits near seated eye level, often around 1 m from the floor. This avoids neck strain and shapes the proportions of the wall around the screen.
Plan the Technology Before the Carpentry
Decide on the screen, soundbar or speakers, streaming boxes, gaming consoles and any media server before designing the unit. Each needs ventilation, cable routes and sometimes a remote-friendly opening. Concealed conduits, power points and a ventilated compartment keep wires out of sight and devices cool.
If a projector or in-ceiling speakers are planned, the false ceiling and wiring must be designed together with the wall.
Storage That Works for the Family
Closed storage keeps the wall calm. Use drawers for remotes, consoles and games, and tall or side units for books, display and decor. Floating base units give a lighter look and make cleaning easier, while full-height panels create a gallery-like backdrop.
| Element | Recommended approach |
|---|---|
| Screen | Wall mounted at seated eye level |
| Cables | Concealed conduit and power points |
| Devices | Ventilated closed compartment |
| Storage | Soft-close drawers and tall units |
| Lighting | Indirect LED, no glare on screen |
Materials, Panelling and Lighting
Veneer, lacquer, fluted panels and stone each set a different mood. Combine one dominant material with one or two accents, and keep joints and alignment exact. Soft concealed lighting around the panel or niche makes the wall glow in the evening, but should never reflect on the screen. Learn more in our guides on fluted panelling and lighting layers.
Designed With the Whole Living Room
The TV wall should relate to the sofa, flooring, ceiling and lighting. When these are planned together, the result is a room that feels composed. See how this looks in our completed projects and visit the Kokapet Experience Centre to review materials in person.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high should a TV be mounted in a living room?
Mount it so that the centre of the screen is near seated eye level, which is often around 1 m from the floor. This keeps viewing comfortable and balances the wall.
How far should I sit from my TV?
A general guide is between about one and a half and two and a half times the screen diagonal, depending on resolution and personal preference.
How do I hide TV wires?
Use concealed conduits and planned power points inside the wall or panel, with a ventilated compartment for devices. This is easiest when it is designed from the beginning.
What materials work best for a TV wall?
Veneer, lacquer, fluted panels and stone are popular. Choose one main material and a small number of accents so the wall stays calm.
Should the TV unit be floating or floor standing?
Floating units look lighter and are easier to clean, while floor-standing units provide more storage. Many premium designs combine both.
