Traditional Media Storage Furniture

Organization keeps a home or office looking neat and tidy and makes it easy to locate items as necessary. A traditional style media cabinet can showcase a television and other components and provide a secure location to safely hold sensitive electronics and materials. Staples® offers a variety of furniture and storage options to help any business run smoothly and give a professional appearance.

Choosing the Right Traditional Style Media Cabinet
When considering any furniture for a room, it’s important that it blends in with other pieces and makes use of available space. Solid wood choices are easy to keep clean, stand up well to daily use, and deliver a professional look in any reception area or office space. Metal selections deliver an industrial feel, while laminate and wood alternatives offer an array of patterns and styles. Color is another consideration. Light wood helps brighten a room, while darker hues provide a classic look. Cabinets with intricate trim deliver a distinctive style to any space.

Considering the Options for a Traditional Style Media Cabinet
When purchasing a storage case for any room, consider what it will hold. A traditional media storage cabinet with adjustable shelves accommodates books, CDs, notebooks, and files securely and makes them easy to see. Shelves that mount on the wall or slender towers free up floor space in small rooms or in spaces where there is a lot of foot traffic.

Tabletop designs fit nearly any flat surface and help keep materials at eye level. Consider revolving towers that provide access from multiple locations within the room, while those with shelves on both sides offer maximum storage. To enhance organization, opt for multimedia dressers with spacious drawers that hold remotes, gaming controllers, and paper. Cupboards with glass fronts reduce dust and dirt while making it simple to peruse the contents inside.

How Do You Measure a Traditional Style Media Cabinet for a TV?
To find the appropriate furniture to hold a television and its components, measure the width and length of the TV. The tabletop should be at least 2 to 3 inches wider on all sides than the television. The device should also fall within eye level of the viewers regardless of where it sits in the room. For training rooms and conference areas, mount the screen higher on a central wall so that individuals in the back of the room have a clear view. It’s also possible to mount a television directly above the media cabinet and use the tabletop to house pictures and keepsakes.

What Size Traditional Style Media Cabinet Is Necessary for a Space?
When choosing any furniture, make sure there is plenty of room surrounding the perimeter to walk and move around it. Obtain the measurements and place painters tape on the floor to outline the cupboard before purchasing, to ensure it fits.

How Do You Attach a Traditional Style Media Cabinet to the Wall?
Many top-heavy cabinets come with anti-tip kits that when mounted properly, prevent movement. If not, purchase one of these kits to anchor the furniture to the wall. Locate studs on the wall behind the cupboard and screw the anchors in place, doing same on the back of the furniture. To further prevent tipping of any equipment, it is best to also secure the TV with straps when you decide not to mount it to the wall.
