Maybe your square footage allows you a dedicated room for
your favorite TV shows, movies, sports, and games. Or if you’re in a small
apartment, a corner or nook is all you have to spare for your important “appointment
TV” viewing. No matter what you’ve got to work with, we at Furniture Distributors
are happy to share some design tips to maximize your enjoyment of your
entertainment furniture, whatever you may choose.
Create a Distinctive Space Within a Room
When you can’t have a room dedicated to your TV, sound,
etc., you can still masterfully create the effect of a separate space within an
existing room with differences in decor. For example, in a room with hardwood
floors, try a soft rug in a bright color between your seating and TV stand.
Then have your window treatment and accent pillows mirror or echo that color
choice. Perhaps a dimmer switch for your entertainment nook can enhance your
viewing with the home theater experience even if your screen is relatively
small. If you really want to mark your media space, maybe one wall color such
as stark white or putting up wood laminate will do the job without competing
with the screen for your eyes’ attention. To make a small space seem bigger,
try placing the sofas parallel to the screen.
Less Is More: Minimalist Chic
From midcentury to industrial there are many complementary
design ideas that make sure the focus or your room or corner is the screen.
Keep distractions to a minimum; leave the mementoes for another day. But if you
don’t want bare walls or shelves on your entertainment center, have some fun by
putting a picture or two of your all-time favorite movie or show in a frame
that blends into the wall color.

design success, stop by any of our six locations including our Havelock, NC store.
