How to Choose the Right Media Storage for You

Your entertainment and media space is often where family spends their time.  Whether you're watching a movie, a television show, or the Superbowl, your media furniture needs to store your accessories and support you prized flat screen TV!  Here are some simple steps to help you select the right media storage for you and your family.

1) First thing's first - Find Your Style

With so many options everyone has their own taste.  To help narrow down the large selection of media cabinets and TV consoles, find out what style, or styles, you prefer.

Contemporary

Contemporary designs often feature clean, sleek lines and hidden storage.  Today's contemporary design focuses more on comfort and feature eclectic styles. Often inspired by nature, you'll notice that contemporary furniture features natural hues, a bit of rustic influence, many shades of grey, and glass accents.

Traditional

Traditional designs often feature carved details and rich finishes.  While traditional designs have kept up with the times and feature a more simplified version than earlier predecessors, these designs are forever classic and showcase traditional color schemes.

Transitional

Transitional designs often feature a blend of contemporary and traditional details but are classic and timeless styles themselves.  Featuring either straight lines or curved profiles, transitional designs are simple yet sophisticated.

2) Hide and Go Seek VS. Show it Off

Do you despise clutter and wish everything with hidden from sight? Or do you love to show off accessories to create a look in your room?

Pick your storage pieces with open or closed storage in mind.  Some entertainment centers choose to hide everything behind cabinet doors, while others provide open shelving to show off tidy boxes for organizing and carefully selected accessories.
