How to work wonders with a TV wall

This spectacular TV unit really impressed us. Seven solid oak floating shelves are jam-packed with this Cape Town family’s collection of books and the television screen is nestled snuggly in-between. Any electrical cords have been tucked away in a wooden box concealed behind the TV so that while the unit is certainly full, it never feels chaotic.

“We’ve always kept a scrapbook of inspiring home and décor images, and this bookshelf idea was one of them,” recalls the homeowner. “We love the visual impact of the overall effect.”
