Maybe you could combine 2 units one either side of tv area with a matching sideboard in the centre to take the tv.
How’s about this one?

I got a huge entertainment center that will hold a 43" tv. At the time that was a big tv. Now we want a BIG tv with the 4K HDTV technology but will have to buy a different entertainment center first. Suggest you get one where the tv sits on the base section and not back in a section where the doors can be closed.
You may have to look for separate side cabinets and a lower cabinet (TV table) that can be assembled according to the look you want.
Check Ikea.
Otherwise have you thought to sketch the sort of thing you are looking for and asking a Cabinet maker for a price or if you have a Furniture college near they might be able to give a price for a Student project?? Good Luck!
It's my pleasure.....
Use the IKEA bookshelves as the base to create your own unit. You frame around the base units and add trim to personalize (cornice pieces, wide door jam trim, decals etc. we did this to make built ins around the fireplace (my style is not modern either)
Here’s a few I found that you may like?
I don't know if this will help you or hinder you but recently we tried to sell our gorgeous wall unit just like yours and we couldn't give it away. Habitat for Humanity wouldn't even take it because they don't sell. I finally gave it to goodwill which really didn't want it.
Now a good friend was having a new house built and had a wall unit built in. It's nice looking but I do wonder if she'll tire of it and what will the resale of her house be in years to come because of it. Personally I love not having it. It freed up my wall and my room looks twice as large without it. Like I said we all have our preferences but I just wanted to give you each side of the perspective.
Ikea hacks can make some interesting wall units... and can look traditional with added mouldings....
