Custom Entertainment Units Melbourne
A well-designed entertainment unit should do more than simply house a television. It should bring technology, storage and the room itself together as one considered composition.
At Special Things Furniture, we design and make custom entertainment units in Melbourne, tailored to the proportions of your space, your equipment and the way you live.
From a refined entertainment unit to a complete wall system, every piece is designed to feel like it belongs in the room — not something added afterwards.
Custom made in Melbourne in a range of timber, veneer and colour finishes, with options for integrated lighting, concealed cable management and tailored storage.
Floating, Wall-Mounted & Freestanding Entertainment Units
Every room is different, which is why we don’t approach entertainment furniture with a standard solution.
A floating entertainment unit can create a lighter, more architectural feeling and keep the floor visually open. A freestanding piece can have a stronger furniture presence, while a larger wall-mounted system can combine the television with storage, display and lighting.
The right solution comes down to the room, the technology and, importantly, getting the proportions right.
Designed Around Your Technology
Modern entertainment units need to accommodate much more than a television.
Soundbars, speakers, streaming devices, gaming equipment and other technology can all influence the design and internal configuration.
Cable management, access, ventilation and future changes to equipment are considered from the beginning, allowing the technology to work within the furniture rather than dominate it.
Design Process
We begin by understanding the room, the equipment you have now and what you may need in the future.
We then consider what needs to be stored, what should be displayed and what would be better concealed, together with the overall style, materials, finishes and proportions of the piece.
From there, we develop a custom entertainment unit designed specifically for the space rather than trying to make a standard-size cabinet fit.

Getting the Proportions Right
An entertainment unit needs to relate to the television, wall and surrounding furniture. A smaller room doesn’t necessarily require a smaller piece — an undersized unit beneath a large television can actually make the space feel less balanced.
Sometimes a difference of just 100 or 200 mm can completely change how resolved the composition feels.
Integrated Technology & Cable Management
Our entertainment units can incorporate concealed cable routing, integrated LED lighting, equipment storage and ventilation where required.
The aim is to keep technology accessible and functional while maintaining a clean, resolved appearance.

Materials & Finishes
Each entertainment unit can be customised in size, configuration, materials and finish.
Options include solid timber, timber veneers, colour finishes, glass, metal and stone, allowing the furniture to complement the architecture and surrounding interior.
Rather than selecting from predetermined sizes and finishes, the piece can be developed specifically for the room and individual requirements.
Custom Entertainment Unit Pricing
Every entertainment unit is individually designed and quoted according to its size, materials, storage requirements and complexity.
As a guide, custom entertainment units generally start from approximately $2,500, with larger wall systems and designs incorporating specialised storage, lighting or integrated technology individually quoted.
