do not fear the traditional
If you are a traditionalist at heart, treat your console with the same respect. The heavy wood and the number of gold-edged elegance of the old school perfectly with a classic display of two large glass vases, a center filled with flowers and a mirror in the golden frame adorned above. Sometimes less is certainly more.

team with shelves
I Love the of clean lines of this ultra Buffet -simple in a white ambient Scandi-chic . A pair of candlesticks and a couple of small objects are sitting on top, but the real eye-catching display just above the shelves above. They were perfectly positioned to complete the buffet and store excess ornaments and accessories, allowing the buffet to remain uncluttered and functional.

Bookend with lamps
lamps and chests are a perfect match inside. This chest is a boxy black case - it seems super-chic bookended by two structural lights in matching black. The wall of photographic art adds to the appearance of the monochrome hip, while the finishing touch is a bouquet of white roses classic.

A buffet under a TV can be a welcome alternative to the ugliest consoles and cabinets. It is also a place to hide DVD batteries, digi boxes and other clutter technophile. This wood and white number in a game room, is discreet, but big enough to hide all sorts of sins, while some wooden toys on top add some color.
