A home entertainment center is a beautiful piece of furniture that is also functional. It houses your television and other devices while providing storage for accessories and necessities in your living room. Built-in entertainment centers offer an array of benefits and should be customized to suit your taste and needs. Below are a few ideas to consider with your remodeling contractor.

A Guide to Built-In Entertainment Centers

1. Minimalist Approach

Think about the style of your home’s interior design before finalizing plans with a remodeling contractor. If you prefer clean lines, choose a built-in stand with open shelving for storing electronics, DVDs, games, and more. If you plan to hang your television, you might only require a half deep unit, which will open up  floor space while still providing ample room for your home theater.

2. Full Wall Design

You may consider building a unit across an entire wall of your living space. Not only will this provide enough room for every device, but it can also allow for attractive shelving and/or drawers to increase storage and hide away space. Ask your remodeling contractor to match the vibe and color scheme of your space.

3. Cords & Ventilation

Consider adding grommet holes for weaving cords to outlets and compartments that will hide wiring to keep your setup organized. Make sure the designer considers accessing these connections when you need to unplug or replace a device. Also, ensure each level has enough ventilation, so televisions, game systems, and Blu-ray players don’t overheat.

4. Open & Closed Aesthetic

Create an entertainment center that mixes closed cabinets with open concepts. This allows you to tuck away unsightly, practical items like batteries and remotes while displaying your favorite books or art pieces. Consider adding glass doors and lighting to cabinets so that delicate items can be seen but protected from pets, kids, and dust.
