This rustic entertainment center with industrial touches by FLO Design Studio uses a few tricks to keep it from weighing down the room. Pipe pieces act as feet to the unit, and the clearance between the cabinetry and the floor offer a lightness to the look. The open shelves appear to float against the wall, and the unit is made from light-toned reclaimed wood.

A long, blue shelf lines the back of this living room where two TVs are mounted on the wall, making this space the perfect spot for watching sports. The navy built-in console provides a nice contrast to the natural wood paneling behind the TVs, and allows for ample storage to hide all the entertainment knick-knacks.

This living room's built-in entertainment center offers both open and hidden storage options. The television's position, in the center of the unit, helps it recede into the background when not in use.

Built-in shelves, doubling as an entertainment center, nearly take up the entire wall in this living room. The bottom half of the wall includes a fireplace and more shelving to store media and/or personal treasures.

This custom built-in doubles as a desk and an entertainment center with two wall-mounted monitors. Sturdy shelves, large cabinets and recessed lighting put accessories on display, while concealing home office essentials.
