The flat screen TV is part of our lifestyle and out in the open in most households. Many homes and apartments lack a built-in entertainment center, so the console or media stand is the next best thing for supporting the TV and housing media equipment.

There’s no need to place the television in the center, these spaces showcase how to create a display with art and accessories around an off center TV.

For those of you with the media stand + TV combo, how have you decorated yours? Simply, eclectically?
