New TV and Media Console
Comments (4)Related to my earlier post, do you have a music system? Are you going to get any additional electronics (e.g. CD/DVD/BluRay player, Cable box, etc.)? You need to accommodate those as well. All your examples involve the TV being mounted on the wall, which I like. You now understand the problem of getting a large console for your "home entertainment system" - electronic devices change and you don't want to have to change your furniture also!...See MoreHELP!!

Comments (8)My first question always with a ton of wall storage/ display is what do you have that is really special to display/ I find most of these display areas are full of clutter and knick knacks that are not worth being on display and then you come back to ask how to decorate the shelves. IMO get s impler combo like Besta from Ikea where you can choose how to arrange it to suit your life and space . Usually a low cabinet to have the tV at the proper viewing height( center of screen at eye level when you are seated) some storage and a bit of display area.. You decide how to put it together and can look almost custom.These are just a sample of how to customize for your space...See MoreIs this media console going to be too small for TV?
Comments (16)@Salina its unfortunately a very small wall, that’s why we are painting the wall and ceiling the same color, per our color consultant. Ive been looking around but having trouble finding real wood without veneer, made in the USA, over 70 inches but also small enough to be able to fit a small piano to the left side, with doors and shelving, and 3k or under. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! At this point though, I can get a 55” TV instead of the 65” that’s taped up. Its just for the kids and their video games, not for big movie viewing. So hard to find quality furniture nowadays that doesn’t break the bank. 😬 Edit: Everything I read online says 25% larger for console table or 3 inches of overhang on each side. So I was thinking a 74” console would be okay with the 65” TV because the width is actually 57.2” not 65”. My blue tape may be off haha....See Moremedia console or no media console
Comments (8)I also recently got a new, larger television and the old stand was too small. I personally like having something underneath so I did buy a new, larger console that has four doors and a shelf for the cable box. However, it's your house, so if you're OK with it this way, don't worry about it. :-) If it's the cost that's concerning, save up and buy something later, or look in thrift shops....See MoreSammie J
