TV Units & Storage Design
Built-in storage that clears the clutter
From a TV wall with hidden wiring to a crockery unit for the good dinner set and a shoe rack by the door, built-in storage is what keeps a home tidy day to day. We design and factory-build these units to fit the exact walls, niches and corners of homes across Delhi NCR.
Overview
The units that hold daily life together
The kitchen and wardrobes usually get the attention, but it is the smaller built-ins that decide whether a home stays organised. Set-top boxes and router cables tangled under the TV, crockery stacked in the kitchen with nowhere to display the good set, shoes piled at the entrance, and a laptop on the dining table every evening: these are the everyday problems that well-planned storage solves.
We design TV units, crockery and bar units, shoe racks, study units, bookshelves and utility storage as part of one coherent scheme. A TV wall is planned around screen size and viewing distance, with concealed conduits, a ventilated niche for devices and soundbar placement. Crockery units get glass shutters, internal lighting and drawers sized for cutlery and table linen. Shoe racks are ventilated and sized for tall boots and everyday pairs, while study units are planned with correct desk height, cable management and task lighting.
Panache Interiors is the home interiors arm of Panache Architect, working from our Faridabad studio across Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. All units are factory-built in HDHMR or plywood with machine edge-banding, so they match your kitchen and wardrobes in finish and quality.
Most TV, crockery and storage units are ready 20–30 days after design approval, with 10–20 days of factory production and 1–2 days of installation per unit.
What we design
Every zone, planned.
From the first thing a visitor sees to the spaces only your team uses — each area is planned for how it works, how it looks and how it is maintained.
TV wall and media unit
A wall-mounted or floating unit with a cladding panel behind the TV, concealed wiring and a ventilated shelf for the set-top box and router. The screen centre is set close to seated eye level, around 1000–1100 mm from the floor.
Crockery and bar unit
Glass-shuttered display for dinner sets with drawers below for cutlery, napkins and table linen. A bar section can add wine racks and a stone top for serving.
Shoe rack and entrance storage
Ventilated shoe cabinets with tilt-out or adjustable shelves, a seat for putting on shoes and hooks for keys and bags. Sized to suit the household's shoe count.
Study and work-from-home unit
A desk at 720–750 mm height with overhead shelves, a cable tray and sockets above the worktop. Can be wall-mounted to save space in a bedroom.
Bookshelves and display
Open or partly closed shelves with spans kept short or reinforced so books do not cause sagging. Accent lighting can highlight collectibles.
Pooja unit
A compact mandir unit with a drawer for incense and samagri, a back-lit panel and good ventilation. Often combined with the crockery or living-room storage.
Utility and broom storage
Tall cabinets for the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, mops and cleaning supplies, often in a passage or utility area. Keeps everyday clutter out of living spaces.
Window seats and under-stair storage
Seating with drawers or lift-up lids by a window, or storage tucked under a duplex staircase. Turns unused corners into useful space.
Design inspiration — representative imagery
Key details
The details that decide it.
A space that still works three years after opening day is decided by technical detail — lighting, services, materials and compliance. This is what we get right.
Core materials
HDHMR or MR-grade plywood gives good screw-holding and stability for TV and crockery units, while BWP ply is used for shoe racks near entrances where floors get mopped. Shelves spanning over 800 mm are reinforced or kept at 25 mm thickness to prevent sagging.
Finishes and cladding
TV walls combine laminate, veneer, fluted panels, PU paint or stone-look panels to create a backdrop. Fingerprint-resistant matte laminates work well for units at hand height.
Concealed wiring and ventilation
Conduits for HDMI, power and LAN cables are planned behind the TV panel with a grommet for access. Device shelves have rear ventilation cut-outs so set-top boxes and amplifiers do not overheat.
Hardware
Soft-close hinges, push-to-open fittings for handle-less fronts, tandem drawers and lift-up fittings from brands such as Hettich, Hafele or Blum, or equivalent grades. Wall-hung units use concealed heavy-duty brackets anchored into masonry.
Viewing ergonomics
Seating distance is ideally 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen diagonal, and the screen centre should be close to seated eye level. Wall mounting points are blocked with plywood backing for secure fixing.
Display and task lighting
Crockery and display units get 3000K LED strip or puck lights with CRI 90+ to show glassware and wood finishes well. Study units get 4000K task lighting at about 500 lux on the desk to reduce eye strain.
Design directions
Find your look.
Starting points we refine with you into a look that is yours — palette, materials and lighting worked out together in 3D.
Floating minimal
A wall-hung TV unit in matte laminate with a hidden LED strip underneath and a plain painted or textured wall behind. Clean and easy to dust.
Fluted and veneer
Fluted veneer or laminate panels behind the TV with a long low cabinet in a contrasting tone. Warm, textured and contemporary.
Stone and brass accent
Marble-look or sintered stone panels with slim brass trims and glass-fronted crockery units. A richer look for formal living rooms.
Open Scandinavian
Light oak-toned shelves, white shutters and open display niches. Works well in compact apartments and family rooms.

FAQs
TV Units, Crockery & Storage — answered.
Still have a question? Call or WhatsApp — a designer will answer.
What is the right height for a TV on the wall?
The centre of the screen should be close to seated eye level, which is typically about 1000–1100 mm from the floor for a sofa. We adjust this for your seating height and the screen size.
How far should the sofa be from the TV?
A good rule is 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen diagonal. For a 55-inch TV, that is roughly 2.1 to 3.5 metres. We use this to size the TV wall and furniture layout.
Can you hide all the wires behind the TV unit?
Yes. We plan conduits within the wall or behind the back panel for power, HDMI and LAN, with access points for future changes. Device shelves are ventilated to keep electronics cool.
Wall-mounted or floor-standing TV unit: which is better?
Wall-mounted units are easier to clean under and make the room feel larger, which suits most apartments. Floor-standing units offer more storage and suit larger living rooms. We check wall strength before recommending a wall-hung design.
How do you stop shoe racks from smelling?
We use ventilated shutters or back panels, keep shelves open at the rear and use moisture-resistant materials. Tilt-out shelves also help air move around the shoes.
What should a crockery unit include?
Usually glass-fronted display for dinner sets, closed cabinets for everyday items and drawers for cutlery and table linen. Internal lighting and a stone or laminate top for serving are popular additions.
How long does it take to make these units?
Factory production usually takes 10–20 days after design approval, and installation takes 1–2 days per unit. Glass and lights are fitted at the end.
What warranty do you provide?
Warranty is as per the material and hardware brand used, and we share those terms with your quote. We also provide care guidance for each finish at handover.
