An inviting sectional sofa and stylish storage mix with interesting textures and earthy elements to create a lower level media room for relaxing and catching up on the latest TV shows and must-see movies.

The long buffet cabinet located behind the sectional has a lightly distressed and translucent black finish that allows the grain to show through. On the wall above sits one of two iPad mounts that keep the devices that run HGTV Smart Home 2016 charged and ready to go.

What interior designer Tiffany Brooks calls one of her favorite pieces in the home, she sourced a local artist to create the large 5’ by 5’ foot custom piece of wall art above the buffet that serves as one of the focal points of the room.

The open shelves of the media room's buffet cabinet holds a collection of color-coded books, while doors provide closed storage for media equipment and other essentials.
