One decorating challenge is figuring out how to place your television in a room. In 13 TV Furniture Stands from Ikea's Besta Line we set out to provide a broad sampling of choices in TV furniture. The type of television that you have obviously has a lot to do with finding the right piece for you. I must say that most stores I go to have a small selection of media related furniture and I usually wind up feeling that there may be other options that I have not seen. Even if none of these pieces is right for your living room, you may get some ideas about the proper shape, style, and design for you. A question that you must ask yourself is if you are looking for media storage space. There are many combinations of bookshelves, cabinets, and drawers that can accompany the TV and provide a place to store your media. On the other end of the spectrum are more simple models that serve mainly as a resting place as TV stands.
Price: $700. Product: here.

Here is one of my favorite modern TV entertainment / storage wall units from Acerbis International of Italy. The "Life" has the ability to look very different based on a series of hanging containers and voids that can be arranged to fit the user's requirements. For visual drama lights inserted between the storage units and the back panel accentuate and contrast between the volumes.

Ruel Geronimo is a Filipino showroom designer working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His new design concept is "B2 LCD Console". The intent is to create a visual of something simple and practical and yet at the same time eye-catching. I really like the design concept and in particular the wood trim coupled with the metal circles on the side.
I am pretty sure the connoisseur of high quality audio and video products will find this of little or no persuasion when selecting their next TV. However if you are the average electronics consumer and more into interior design perfection, the new Vizio Java HDTV may fit into your plans. This Java (copper-and-black) colored 32 or 37 inch flat panel features 1080p capability, three HDMI and dual component inputs, a 6,500:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and more. This does show that electronic companies are paying attention to matching their products with current furniture trends and the visual requirements of consumers. $650-$850
