Much more than just a piece of furniture, a modern wall unit represents an intelligent, versatile, and aesthetically impactful furnishing solution. Mostly placed in the living area, it perfectly combines functionality and design in order to contain, display, and enhance the surrounding space. It can host a television, as well as books or decorative objects, but it can also become the true protagonist of the living room. So, how to furnish a modern wall unit in a harmonious, personal, and functional way? In the following lines, we will give you the best advice to design a space that can truly be tailored to you and your lifestyle.
Let's start with a necessary premise: every modern wall unit should be thought of as an integral part of the room. Choosing a "beautiful" one is not enough: you must design it in a way that is consistent with your needs, the dimensions of the space, and, of course, your personal taste. Here are some tips to understand how to do it (and where to start). ### Size matters: pay attention to the room The first step is crucial: carefully evaluate the available space. In small spaces, a modern wall unit that is too bulky risks suffocating the room. Conversely, in larger spaces, a unit of reduced dimensions risks "getting lost." Practical tip: make sure to measure the width and height of the wall accurately. Also, consider the maximum depth, any passageways - to avoid obstacles - and the arrangement of other furniture. ### What will you use it for? Mind the objects A modern wall unit can serve a thousand purposes. Will you use it only for the television? Will it serve as a display for decorative objects? Will you use it as a bookshelf or as a support for games or audio systems? The function can vary the furniture and its position: therefore, try to understand beforehand what it will be. Practical tip: thoroughly evaluate your tastes and real needs. Would you prefer many closed compartments or open and light solutions? This will help you choose the most suitable configuration. ### Make it consistent with the style and colors of the room Let's repeat it together: a modern wall unit integrates with the living room. In other words, it cannot "clash" with the rest of the furniture! Whether your home is minimal, Nordic, industrial, or classic, the wall must be consistent in colors as well as in materials and lines. Practical tip: consider the idea of choosing customizable wall units, in modern or classic-contemporary style. From Fratelli Mirandola, for example, you can find only the best custom solutions in Spruce or Oak signed by UnikaWood. ### Choose carefully the combinations and materials Do materials make a difference? Pairings potentially even more so. The best material in the worst pairing can ruin the essence of a living room - and it's not an exaggeration! Solid wood, for example, can give warmth and prestige even to the most modern lines, especially when paired with details in iron, glass, or lacquered surfaces. An up-to-date and refined style to seriously consider. Practical tip: when pairing, pay close attention to the flooring and other furniture. Seek a harmonious effect, without too many contrasts. ### Make it your own: make sure it reflects who you are A well-designed modern wall unit has a specific purpose. In addition to embellishing the furniture and making it functional, it must also tell something about you. Tell who you are, your passions, your style, and your way of living in the house. Practical tip: a home is as beautiful as it is alive. Include personal items, such as paintings, photographs, travel memories. But don't overdo it, especially if you love minimalist style. ### Lighting makes a difference: consider the light factor Do not overlook the effect of light on your wall, whether natural or artificial. While a dark piece of furniture in a poorly lit room could weigh down the space, almost "closing" it, a light wall in a bright setting could amplify the feeling of space and "open" it. Practical tip: you could also consider adding integrated LED lights, ideal for enhancing small and narrow spaces, such as niches and compartments.

Cons: all the disadvantages of a modern fitted wall - It needs to be carefully studied (dimensions, function, style), to the point that a small mistake can sometimes disrupt your living space. - It can be difficult to modify, if not modular. As above, it is necessary to study its dimensions and function in advance. - It may be too overpowering: in very small homes, it risks overshadowing the environment, going against that sense of lightness and space that those who choose to have it often seek.
