Whether you’re viewing the latest flicks or binge-watching a favorite series, a comfy spot makes the experience much more accommodating. Selecting the right media console for your home’s entertainment center is essential for complementing items such as an existing living room set. Here are several factors to consider before making your purchase. 

How to Select an Entertainment Center Media Console

1. Size

The height and weight dimensions should align with the room’s overall size. You don’t want a media console that will overwhelm the space. Take measurements of where you want to position the structure. Use those figures as a guide to ensure you’re not buying a console that’s too big or small. 

2. Color

From the living room set to the wall’s paint shades, consider a media console designed to pair with your existing aesthetic harmoniously. The positive news is there is a wide range of beautiful colors to choose from. If you’re unsure, consult home decor magazines and furniture store specialists for ideas.

3. Material

Is the space more contemporary or traditional? Consider the elements that won’t clash with the area. Wood, stainless steel, and other materials offer complementary textures. If there’s a favorite furniture item in the space where the media console will go, use it as a guide for selecting the material.

4. Storage Space

Drawers, shelves, and other compartments will come in handy for your entertainment center. Seek out consoles that provide storage space for audio and media equipment, cords, video games, and cartridges. If you want to keep items hidden even better, look for structures with cabinets to eliminate a cluttered-look and play up the features of an existing living room set.

5. Extra Accessories

Today’s media consoles also offer a variety of configurations for a more customized look. For instance, some come with built-in fireplaces and space for other heating devices. Others may have pull-outs for computers and keyboards. If these accessories are must-haves, look for consoles that serve multiple functions.
