With the updated design of TVs, the past couple of decades open shelving can easily accommodate a set, be it mounted or placed on a shelf. The TV can easily be incorporated on adjustable shelving, with all of your electronics, books, and knickknacks, creating a smart and novel look.
Modular Shelving:
Similar to a built-in, module shelving can take up a whole wall if you desire. Available at many big-box retailers, after measuring the allotted space in your home, you can select from a variety of modules from base units to wall hung. Create the perfect shelving unit to contain all your items and gives you a built-in look without the expensive price-tag of custom.
