An entertainment unit is more than just a place to house your television—it’s often the anchor of your living room. At Style My Home, we believe your entertainment unit should offer equal parts form and function. That’s why our Hamptons-style units are thoughtfully designed to provide practical storage, elegant form, and timeless appeal.
Whether you're styling a beachside retreat, a modern townhouse, or a country estate, here's how to choose the right entertainment unit for your space.
What Is a Hamptons-Style Entertainment Unit?
Hamptons entertainment units are defined by their classic craftsmanship—shaker profiles, louvre doors, refined mouldings, and coastal-inspired finishes like crisp white and whitewash oak. They blend seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary homes while offering functional storage for everyday life.
1. Start with Size and Scale
Before choosing a design, measure your wall and consider:
TV dimensions: Your unit should be wider than your screen for balance.
Function: Do you need drawers, cupboards, or adjustable shelves?
From compact buffets to full-scale storage, we offer a range of sizes to suit every layout.
The first consideration, as with most furniture, should always be to consider the size and scale of the room. Entertainment units sizes vary dramatically.
Our most popular sized entertainment units are generally around 1.6 - 1.7m which fits most customer homes. For those of us lucky enough to have a generous space you may be able to fit one of our large units which scale up from 2m wide.
Our most luxurious choice is our Oxford full wall cabinets. These cabinets have adjustable shelves and are the ultimate wow for a home giving ample display space, storage and tv space (this unit fits a tv up to 65 inch). These have been a customer favourite for many years. This is the ultimate when it comes to combining storage, display and entertainment in the one piece. Our largest full wall unit is 2.7 metres wide.
For smaller spaces, our customers choose a smaller buffet or large bedside options such as Ascot or Plantation buffet.
2)Function and storage needs
Once you have the scale right, next you need to understand how it needs to perform. Do you have many items the unit will need to store? Is it in the main area or a secondary area such as a bedroom? Do you use other components such as dvd players or games? We find that storage needs vary significantly household to household. Some customers want to leave a more streamlined existence with minimal storage. Other customers will take storage wherever they can get it. Customers with kids also often have gaming consoles, so closed storage is ideal.
Whilst most clients buy a traditional entertainment unit with an open middle section, other options are available. With the advance in technology, and less reliance on bulky electrical items in your digital space, many of our customers are choosing to use buffets, cabinets or even consoles for the entertaining needs. Buffets provide loads of storage space, and the tv sits higher than an entertainment unit.
2.Style
Because our designs are so timeless, we don't have a huge range to choose from. We have focussed on classic designs in our key sizes and finished.

FAQs
What makes an entertainment unit Hamptons style?
A Hamptons style entertainment unit is all about timeless design, functional elegance, and relaxed sophistication. These pieces are typically defined by classic detailing such as shaker style cabinetry, louvre doors, stepped mouldings, and timeless finishes such as satin white or whitewash oak. They evoke a breezy, coastal feel while still offering smart storage for modern living.
At Style My Home, we are renowned for our Hamptons inspired furniture, but our entertainment units are designed to complement a wide range of interiors—from modern to farmhouse, classic to coastal. Their clean lines and quality craftsmanship ensure they'll look just as beautiful in your home today as they will in the years to come.
Choose classic. Choose forever.
Which entertainment unit is best for small spaces?
If you’re working with a compact living room or apartment, the Ascot Entertainment Unit, at a medium size of 160cm, is one of our smallest dedicated media units—designed to offer functionality without taking up too much visual or physical space. It features clean lines and geometric detailing that work beautifully in both classic and modern homes.
For clients with very limited space, many opt for a small buffet—such as the Plantation Petite Buffet or Ascot Petite Buffet—which doubles as an entertainment unit. These versatile pieces offer smart storage and surface space for your TV, all in a more compact footprint.
No matter the size, our pieces are designed with balance and proportion in mind—refined, functional, and timeless.
Can I use the Oxford Wall Cabinet as an entertainment unit?
Absolutely! Both our 2.45m and 2.7m Oxford Wall Cabinets are designed with adjustable and removable shelving, making them perfectly suited to house a television in the centre space. This versatile configuration allows you to style your living room with ease, blending practical media storage with elegant, built-in style.
The Oxford Wall Cabinet is the ultimate in luxury—a true statement piece that balances scale, storage, and classic Hamptons design. Below, generous closed cupboards hide clutter with ease. In the centre, your TV becomes a focal point. Around it, open shelving allows you to display your favourite keepsakes, books, decorative vases, or coastal-style accents.
Whether in a large open-plan living room or a dedicated media zone, this piece brings refined architectural detail and multi-functional beauty into your home.
Choose classic. Choose forever.
Do your entertainment units require assembly?
Most of our entertainment units arrive fully assembled, so you simply need to unbox and position them in your home—quick and easy with no tools required.
However, our Oxford Wall Cabinets (2.45m and 2.7m) are delivered in multiple sections due to their size and scale. These can be assembled in your home, with the base, centre unit, side units and shelving attached on-site. This ensures the unit can navigate standard stairwells, doorways, or elevators during delivery.
Assembly of the Oxford cabinet can be arranged by our team for a fee, and we recommend confirming access requirements at the time of order. Our team is happy to assist with planning to make delivery and setup seamless.
Why Our Entertainment Units Work in Any Style of Home
1. Timeless Design
Our units feature clean lines, elegant mouldings, and neutral finishes like satin white and whitewash oak. These elements aren't trend-driven, which means they pair just as well with modern, farmhouse, coastal, or even industrial interiors. They offer a refined canvas that blends with your existing décor rather than competing with it.
2. Subtle Detailing
Designs like the Regency (with its stepped block moulding), Plantation (with classic louvre doors), and Ascot (with sleek geometric profiles) strike a balance between decorative and minimal. This makes them ideal for any home.
3. Flexible Functionality
Whether you're styling a minimalist city apartment or a relaxed country retreat, our entertainment units offer practical features—adjustable shelving and generous internal storage—that are universally useful, no matter your style.
The Verdict: Choose Classic, Choose Forever
While we’re known for our Hamptons-inspired range, our focus is always on timeless quality. These are investment pieces that don’t shout for attention, but instead elevate the room with quiet sophistication. So yes—our entertainment units suit all kinds of homes, because classic style never goes out of fashion.
