When choosing a new media cabinet or console, start by considering how many things you need to store and what space is available to you. You want to make the most of the area that you have, so the shape of your new shelving, console or cabinet should maximize storage without overstepping the area you’ve set aside for it.

When it comes to style, it's essential to choose a media console that blends with your existing interior décor. If your room exudes a contemporary vibe, consider going for sleek designs with minimalist features and sharp lines, like metal media shelving. For those who have a penchant for rustic style, wood media consoles could be ideal.

If you have vinyl records to store, you will need a larger shelving option, such as deep bookshelves or board game shelves. Remember not to stack your vinyl records for long-term storage.

The right media shelf, cabinet or console can make organizing your entertainment collection a breeze. Ordinary bookshelves and cabinets are usually not well designed for the specific size and shape of CDs, Blu-ray discs or DVDs. So, it is best to get furniture intended for such a use. If you have any rare or collector media, you might also want a display shelf to show off your collection.

If you have limited space, you could consider a TV cabinet or TV console with cabinets that can house some of your media collection. For extra coziness, you might even want to pick a TV stand with fireplace and shelving or cabinets. Pull a feel-good movie out of your collection, turn on the electric fire and curl up for a heartwarming evening.

With the right kind of media storage, you will add not only something useful to your space but also something that makes you happy and adds to the décor in your home.
