How to Pick Out a Coffee Table.
It’s also a good idea to use a piece with an
accessible storage area so you can keep the
top surface clear of remotes, magazines and
coasters.

only adds pizzazz, but it also dampens
sound coming out of the speakers, helping
to improve acoustics.
Rug materials are also a big consideration,
many people enjoy snacking in front of the
TV.
Wool gets people nervous, because it’s more
expensive, but at the end of the day, if you
spill something on it, wool is emollient and
will repel liquid.
Include sufficient storage. Game consoles and
other components can look like clutter when left
out for everyone to see. A media cabinet or console placed 20 to 26 inches below the TV can keep
devices out of sight while maximizing wall space.
Light it right. Varied lighting sources can go a long
way toward creating ambience and improving the
view of the television. Overhead lighting, particularly canned LED lighting gives a glow without the
glare. You really need to have a soft-feeling light to
really maximize the definition on the television.
Multiple lighting sources, like a chandelier creates
a focal point or eye-level lighting for those who
might not be interested in watching TV.
After all, the media room is today’s version of the
family room. You’ll want your whole family to
feel welcome whether they’re knitting or watching
reruns of tinsel.
