For many homeowners, however, having a home theatre will be just a little too niche for their taste.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the fact that the addition of a home theatre provides a poor return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why a home entertainment centre (also known as an \u201centertainment unit\u201d) makes so much sense.<\/p>\n<h3>Create a tidy space for all your tech<\/h3>\n<p>The number of gadgets and devices we to use to consume all of our media these days can be downright head-spinning.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to your TV, your living room or recreation room where you do your viewing likely contains many of these types of tech devices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cable or satellite receiver\/PVR<\/li>\n<li>video game console<\/li>\n<li>streaming box<\/li>\n<li>surround sound system or soundbar<\/li>\n<li>Blu-ray player<\/li>\n<li>virtual assistant\/smart speaker (like the Apple HomePod or Amazon Echo)<\/li>\n<li>modem and router<\/li>\n<li>an external hard drive for extended media storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trying to keep so many devices and their many cables organized isn\u2019t easy. That\u2019s one of the things that makes a customized media storage unit like a home entertainment centre so special.<\/p>\n<p>Every device and the storage space they need will be taken into account in order to create a clean, organized home entertainment hub.<\/p>\n<p>A custom home entertainment centre also effectively manages all the cables that are part of your setup so they\u2019re tidy and hidden, instead of an unsightly, tangled mess.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4021 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/White-entertainment-unit-with-table-and-two-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"white home entertainment centre with 2 chairs\" width=\"1200\" height=\"698\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/White-entertainment-unit-with-table-and-two-chairs.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/White-entertainment-unit-with-table-and-two-chairs-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/White-entertainment-unit-with-table-and-two-chairs-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/White-entertainment-unit-with-table-and-two-chairs-1024x596.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/698;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Organize your accessories and media<\/h3>\n<p>On top of all those audio and video components, there\u2019s also all the accessories that comes with them that need to be kept organized.<\/p>\n<p>Remotes, gaming controllers, and other accessories used in your viewing room can cause clutter and get lost easily without some manner of organization. TV remotes, in fact, are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/study-reveals-the-most-common-items-that-go-missing-at-home-246906\">the most commonly misplaced item in homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And while streaming\u2019s popularity has shrunk the physical media collections in many homes, some homeowners still have Blu-rays, DVDs, vinyl records, and CDs they might not wish to part with just yet.<\/p>\n<p>A home entertainment centre is a practical, all-in-one piece of furniture that creates media and accessory storage space that surrounds the devices you watch or listen to everything on.<\/p>\n<p>Remotes and accessories like spare cables can be kept organized in spacious drawers. Your stored media can be kept hidden behind cabinet doors to maintain a clean room aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you prefer to show off your impressive Blu-ray movie collection, you could store them on open shelves.<\/p>\n<h3>The benefits of a custom home entertainment centre<\/h3>\n<p>A custom home entertainment centre isn\u2019t just built to fit the storage needs for all of your electronics and media.<\/p>\n<p>You can also have it designed to effectively complement and blend seamlessly with your home d\u00e9cor by choosing finishes and the perfect style of decorative hardware.<\/p>\n<p>A wide range of cabinet door styles are available, from metal grill to glass to solid panel. Refined touches like LED lighting can further enhance the look of a home entertainment centre.<\/p>\n<p>And to <em>really<\/em> add to the ambiance of your viewing room, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/electric-fireplaces\/\">electric fireplace<\/a> can even be incorporated into the entertainment unit\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p>A mini bar could also be added to truly make your viewing room the perfect inviting space for hosting get-togethers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1095\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1095\" class=\"wp-image-1095 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/entertainment-unit-bar.jpg\" alt=\"home entertainment centre with bar\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/entertainment-unit-bar.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/entertainment-unit-bar-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/480;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Add extra functionality to a home entertainment centre with a bar.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>One-of-a-kind home entertainment centre designs<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing the right type of home entertainment centre is important because it will be the centrepiece of your living room or whichever room it\u2019s located in.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance your viewing space with a one-of-a-kind custom home entertainment centre, schedule your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/consultation\/\">free in-home design consultation<\/a> with Organized Interiors.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please share this post if you found it useful.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>See also:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/find-best-tv-height-entertainment-unit\/\">How To Determine Your Entertainment Unit\u2019s Best TV Height<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/entertainment-units\/\">7 Reasons Custom Entertainment Units Are a Smarter Buy for Your Home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/entertainment-unit-maximize-wall-space\/\">Entertainment Unit: 5 Ways to Maximize Your Wall Space<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the popularity of mobile devices, there is still very much\u00a0a place in the home for a dedicated room that\u2019s optimized for the best viewing experience.
