Custom Cabinetry for Entertainment

Nov 06, 2023 | Posted in How To & Decorating Tips | Share

One of the common issues we have in a modern world is entertainment equipment and collections – your wifi router, streaming devices, books, magazines, and Blu-rays take space to store and can look cluttered. I have an elegant solution: Custom cabinetry!

Looking into a living room with an L-shaped sofa, glass side table, white coffee table, and a beautiful geometrically-shaped chandelier above. A fireplace adorns the far wall near the open hallways. On the back wall, there's custom cabinetry in white oak with closed cabinets and single bar metal handles, plus open shelving in narrow widths on either side of the tv opening, and a wider set of shelves to the right. Four cabinet drawers are underneath the television, providing a surface for books, photos, and collectibles. A grey armchair sits in front of the cabinets to the right, with a grey, white, and yellow striped lumbar pillow. A geometrically patterned rug in white, grey, and pale pinkish-tan that matches the cabinetry creates a zone for the furniture.

Look how many cabinets and drawers we can fit in this light, bright, contemporary family living room by creating a custom wall of storage.

One of the drawers underneath the television is visible, creating a surface for books, photos, and collectibles. Honey-colored wood planks in a chevron pattern make up the flooring.

Books, photos, and collectibles are easily accessible and displayed with open storage.

Closed storage keeps the messier things like wifi equipment, magazines and personal papers out of sight.

The row of cabinets underneath the television are specially designed to open out of the way, so nothing prevents you from looking in to see the contents without having to bend over. Thoughtful design like this makes such a difference to how you enjoy the space.

A geometrically patterned rug in white, grey, and pale pinkish-tan that matches the cabinetry ties the space together.
