This designer favorite combines high-end finishes (we love how the swirling walnut panels on its face angle into one another to form a chevron pattern) with serious functionality. Its hidden shelves are adjustable, and there's plenty of room behind them to thread power cords through hidden cutouts that face the wall.

BUY IT: CB2, $999

Wall-mounted storage systems like this one are perfect when elbow room is precious: Its floating cabinets and shelves are just over a foot deep.

BUY IT: Ikea, $307

If your equipment gives the local multiplex a run for its money, take a stand (or two): This six-foot, three-drawer piece has midcentury character and ample room for a cinematic screen.

BUY IT: Wayfair, $357.99

This all-in-one piece bookends a TV perch with a pair of towering shelves. Your flat-screen is a star on movie night, sure, but it doesn't need to dominate your entertainment space all the time.

BUY IT: Crate & Barrel, $1,497

Inspired by a vintage filing cabinet, this Old World console table puts an antique face on thoroughly modern features. Trompe-l’oeil "drawers" swing open en masse to reveal spacious side cabinets with adjustable shelves (and rear cutouts), and a central panel flips down to offer access to another device.

BUY IT: Pottery Barn, $1,699

It’s high time barn doors slid into the TV room, wouldn’t you say? Tuck your tech behind a pair of rustic panels. (Joanna Gaines would approve.)

Atomic-age angles and dainty hairpin legs give this TV stand vintage cred, and cutouts behind its upper shelves add function to its form.

BUY IT: Macy's, $444

Though this console be but little, as Shakespeare would put it, it is fierce: Its navy lacquer and brassy bones demand attention. (If you haven’t got the blues, it’s also available in grey and white.)

BUY IT: West Elm, $499

Keep things simple with a floating TV stand that accommodates devices and your media library, suspends up to 165 pounds and rings in at just over a Benjamin. Less is more, no?

If holes in the wall are a no-go, bring in a surface of your own: This all-in-one entertainment center combines storage, shelving and a landlord-approved space to mount your television.

BUY IT: Wayfair, $519.99

This versatile, modern-rustic trio would be right at home in a casual cottage or an urban loft. Note that we called it a trio: While the media stand and towers look lovely together (and share a price tag), you can separate and rearrange them to your heart’s content.

BUY IT: Overstock, $715.49

If you’re in the market for a console with serious sex appeal, look no further: With inky, chevron-patterned oak panels, rose gold hardware and a disappearing black steel base, this media cabinet sets a decidedly decadent mood.
