As part of our upgrade package for our Freeman’s Bay project, BoxMakers crafted a highly accommodating custom TV cabinet. Precision cut and perfect to the millimetre, this TV unit was purpose-built to fit a specific space within this home.
Slotted perfectly into the living room alcove, this brand new BoxMakers TV cabinet stands tall with 4 layers of shelving atop a quadruple doored set of cabinets. Starting from the top, the unit’s apex sits exactly flush with the room’s curtain rod. Finished with smooth Quarter Thorndon Cream from Prime Panels, this nuanced white blends perfectly with the living room.
With the body made out of double-thickness MDF thanks to joined panels, the shelves’ rigidity is second to none. The thick, custom joined panels were chosen specifically to accommodate sculptures and antiques, and can of course double as a bookshelf.
At the centre, we’ve created room enough to comfortably fit TVs up to 58 inches, making for a great viewing experience. Perfect for movie night, yet subtle and seamless, this unit is highly capable without being flashy.
Beneath, the cabinetry features Dezignatek’s Russell series of their Thermoform panels – custom ordered to feature four grooves in the centre instead of the original 5. In an exquisite fusion of ornate and modern tastes, the Knurled Knob Handles by Mucheln in Antique Bronze made for a perfect finishing touch. These lower cabinets were able to tuck items away out of sight and made for ample storage.
Making a returning appearance from the kitchen, Forté’s Ebony Rustic Plank serves as the tabletop. Its textured European Oak face adds maturity and elegance. Of note is the black, powder-coated steel edge we paired with it, which was custom ordered from TFW.
Altogether, this custom TV unit makes the most of an alcove space to hide what needs to be hidden and flaunt what is to be shown – all while possessing the elegance, maturity, and subtlety of a smart, modern home solution.
