Retro TV Build DIY Plans

Most people never question how boring modern TVs have become. Every living room ends up with the same black rectangle, mounted or perched on a stand that adds nothing to the space. Somewhere along the way, televisions stopped being furniture and started feeling like appliances.

Cordova Woodworking’s Retro TV Build brings that missing character back. This custom cabinet is a modern reinterpretation of the classic mid century home television, blending warm hardwood craftsmanship with the realities of today’s tech. It houses a 32 inch flat screen, built in soundbar storage, and extra space for gaming consoles and accessories, all wrapped in a design that actually feels intentional.

For those who want one of their own, Cordova Woodworking offers professionally drafted PDF plans with both metric and imperial dimensions, complete material lists, vector files, and written instructions. Custom builds are also available on request. Custom builds are also available on request.

What makes this build stand out is how thoughtfully it balances nostalgia and function. Inspired by the iconic television sets of the 1950s and 60s, the cabinet looks like something straight out of The Jetsons, yet it is clearly designed for modern living. Cords stay hidden, components have a proper home, and the TV finally feels like part of the room instead of an afterthought. Watch the video below
