If you're looking to buy or design a TV console, here are some sleek and modern design ideas!
1. Made up of thin plywood shelves and folding panels that conceal the television set, this elegant console cum feature wall is understated and functional at the same time. (Interior design by Lekker Design)
2. Wall mounted shelves – especially open back ones – lend the space a much lighter feel.

3. Allow the TV console to blend into the background by using seamless storage compartments. The striped grooves on the cabinet doors also allow its outlines to be better camouflaged. (Interior design by Box.ID Studio)
4. Clean cut doesn’t always have to equate to light colour palettes. A TV console clad in dark walnut veneer can also look minimalist with the help of strong, clean lines. Opt for handleless cabinets for an even more uncluttered appearance. (Interior design by Mong Design Studio)
5. Transfer all your storage needs from the entertainment set by building a feature wall nearby made up of open shelves. Then, all you need you’d need for a TV console is a simple elongated wall-mounted box to conceal wiring, cable boxes, and everything else that’s unsightly.

7. Merge the TV console with the feature wall to create a unified visual centerpiece like in this contemporary living room. (Interior design by Space Vision Design)
8. If you’ve decided to go with clean lines for the feature wall and television console, play around with contrasting colours like white and brown to create more visual interest. (Interior design by Box.ID Studio)
9. To switch between display shelves and the entertainment set easily in the living room, opt for sliding panels that reveal either feature at any one time, enabling the space to appear neater as well. (Interior design by Arte Living)
10. Besides wall-mounted consoles, ceiling-hung ones also give the space a sense of lightness that’s crucial in smaller rooms. (Interior design by W2DA)
