Your television is probably the most-used thing in your living room. Yet most homes treat it as an afterthought, perched on a basic stand, cables trailing behind it, the wall around it bare. A well-designed LCD panel or TV panel box changes that entirely. It turns the TV wall into the room's focal point, adds real storage, and gives your space the kind of finished look that's hard to achieve any other way. At Novella Kitchens, we design and manufacture custom LCD panel units built to the same quality standards as our modular kitchens and wardrobes. Every unit is made to fit your wall, your TV size, and your storage needs, not the other way around.
There's no single template for a TV panel. The right design depends on how large your wall is, how much storage you actually need, and how the rest of the room is styled. Here's how we typically approach it:
The most popular choice for living rooms, this design runs across the full wall, framing the TV with a mix of open shelves, closed cabinets, and display niches. It handles everything: your set-top boxes, speakers, remotes, books, and décor, without the room looking cluttered. If you have a large hall, this format creates a proper focal wall that anchors the entire space.
A TV panel box design wraps the television in a structured frame, usually with a recessed backing and LED strip lighting behind or around the panel. It adds visual depth without taking up extra floor space and works especially well in living rooms with neutral or dark walls. The backlit version reduces eye strain during evening viewing and gives the wall a premium look that's become increasingly popular in Gurgaon homes.
If your room is on the smaller side, a wall-mounted unit keeps the floor clear. These panels mount flush to the wall, with storage built in above, below, or to the sides of the TV. The result is a clean, uncluttered look that makes compact rooms feel more open, not less. This is also the most practical choice for second bedrooms and home offices where you want a functional setup without the bulk.
Bedroom TV panels are typically more restrained than living room setups, smaller footprint, less storage, often with wardrobe integration on one side. At Novella Kitchens, we frequently design bedroom TV panels as part of a larger fitted furniture plan, where the TV unit transitions seamlessly into a wardrobe or dresser on the adjacent wall.
Not every home needs full wall coverage. Open shelf TV units work well in rooms that are already well-decorated; they keep things light, let the wall breathe, and provide just enough structure without dominating the space. These units typically have a central TV bay with open shelves above and closed cabinets below for storage.
A TV panel is a fixed installation; once it's built and fitted, changing it is a project in itself. Getting the planning right upfront saves you from regret later. Here's what actually matters:
Most people start with the TV size, but the wall dimensions should come first. Measure the full wall, width, height, and the distance to adjacent walls, doors, or windows. This tells you how much panel you can realistically fit and whether a full-wall design or a partial unit makes more sense. Your TV's weight also matters if you're opting for a wall-mounted configuration; the structure needs to safely support both the TV and any storage above it.
Be realistic about what you're storing. Set-top boxes, gaming consoles, OTT devices, speakers, remotes, charging cables- the list adds up quickly. Closed cabinets keep things out of sight; open shelves work for books and décor items you actually want visible. A mix of both tends to be the most practical solution for most households.
The material determines how long your panel lasts and how it ages. At Novella Kitchens, we use the same quality boards and hardware for our TV panels as we do for our modular kitchens — including moisture-resistant cores and durable laminates or lacquer finishes. Matte finishes hide fingerprints better; high-gloss finishes reflect light and make smaller rooms feel larger. We'll walk you through the options at our Gurgaon showroom so you can see actual samples before deciding.
This is the most commonly overlooked factor. The centre of your television screen should be roughly at eye level when you're seated, typically 100–110 cm from the floor for a standard sofa. Building a panel that places the TV too high is uncomfortable to watch over time. We factor this into every design we do.
A good TV panel design hides every cable. Routing paths for HDMI, power, and audio cables should be built into the panel structure during manufacturing, not added as an afterthought with cable clips and sticky tape. Ask about this specifically when you're discussing your design brief.
We're primarily known for modular kitchens and wardrobes, but our TV panel work is produced by the same factory and follows the same quality process. Here's what that means in practice:
01. What is the difference between an LCD panel design and a regular TV unit?
A regular TV unit is freestanding furniture; you place it against a wall. An LCD panel design is a wall-integrated structure built into the wall space itself, creating a unified look among the TV, storage, and the wall. Panel designs are custom-built to exact dimensions; TV units are standardised sizes you select from a catalogue.
02. Which TV panel design works best for a hall?
For a hall or large living room, a full-wall panel with a mix of closed cabinets, open shelves, and a dedicated TV bay gives the best result. It creates a proper focal wall, provides ample storage, and makes large blank walls look intentional rather than empty. A backlit TV panel box design adds an extra visual layer if your room gets low light in the evenings.
03. What materials do you use for TV panel designs at Novella Kitchens?
We use moisture-resistant boards with durable laminate, lacquer, or textured finish options, the same material specifications as our modular kitchen and wardrobe range. Hardware is sourced from Hettich and Häfele. We don't use low-grade MDF or particleboard for the structural components.
04. How long does it take to install a custom TV panel design?
Most TV panel installations are completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the unit's size and complexity. The manufacturing lead time after your design is finalised is typically two to three weeks. Your project manager at Novella Kitchens will give you a specific timeline after the site visit.
05. Do you offer TV panel designs with LED backlighting?
Yes. Backlit TV panel box designs, where LED strips are routed behind the TV frame or along the panel edges, are among our most requested configurations. The lighting is built into the panel structure during manufacturing, not added externally. We can show you working examples at our Gurgaon showroom.
