Floating vs Freestanding TV Units: Which Is Better for Modern Living Rooms?

When designing a modern living space, your TV unit plays a central role — not just for entertainment, but as a statement of style. The big decision? Choosing between a floating TV unit and a freestanding TV cabinet.

At Luxworld, we offer Perth homeowners a premium range of wall-mounted floating TV units designed to transform living rooms into sleek, minimalist havens. Let’s compare the two options and explain why a floating unit is often the superior choice.

What is a Floating TV Unit?

A floating TV unit is a wall-mounted TV cabinet that appears to “float” above the floor, giving your media wall a clean and modern aesthetic. These units are ideal for minimalist interiors and are increasingly popular in Perth’s contemporary homes.

What is a Freestanding TV Cabinet?

A freestanding TV cabinet rests directly on the floor, supporting your television and offering storage underneath. While more traditional, these units can take up floor space and may appear bulky in modern interiors.

Floating TV Unit: Key Advantages

1. Saves Floor Space

Floating units free up your floor area, creating a more open and spacious feel — especially important in apartments or compact living rooms.

2. Modern, Stylish Look

With clean lines and a “levitating” design, floating units offer a high-end, architectural finish. Luxworld’s floating TV unit in Perth is a top choice for homeowners seeking a designer media wall.

3. Easy Cable Management

Say goodbye to messy cords. Our units come with concealed cable routing so your wall stays neat and clutter-free.

4. Customisable Height

Since it’s wall-mounted, you can install the unit at the perfect height for your eye level, giving you an optimal viewing experience.

5. Pairs Perfectly with Wall Features

Floating TV units allow room underneath for fluted panels, LED lighting, or even a floating shelf or electric fireplace — enhancing the entire media wall.

Freestanding TV Cabinet: Limitations

  • Takes up more floor space

  • Doesn’t offer the same sleek, modern finish

  • Limited cable concealment

  • Can make the room feel smaller and cluttered
