Upgrade Your Living Room with a White Media Console

A media console functions as a convenient TV stand and a place to keep all of your games, movies, gaming systems and other media organized. It can also serve a decorative purpose, sprucing up your living room or media room. If you'd like a console with a sleek and minimalist look, then a white media console from West Elm might be a good choice. The neutral design of our white consoles will match easily with other furniture in the room and let decorative elements such as your wall art shine. Here are some features to consider to help you find the right one.

Console Styles

Though quite contemporary in style overall, white consoles offer quite a range of design choices. For an ultra-modern look, choose a piece inspired by Scandinavian design. Alternatively, a mid-century modern design with features such as beveled edges will lend a more transitional and timeless feel.

Available Finishes

A simple white finish is a great option for an understated piece that will blend seamlessly with your design scheme. For a bit of extra gleam and shine to catch the eye, go with a sleek lacquer finish. Some white media consoles also feature natural wood elements which you can match to your coffee table to create a cohesive look.

Hardware Finishes

The hardware finishes can also impact the look and style of a media console. Polished metal hardware, for example, can lend your media console more of a glamorous style. Select from among stainless steel, antique brass and brass-plated frames, knobs and drawer pulls to get the look you want.

Size and Storage Capacity

Make sure you choose a console large enough to provide a solid base for your TV and enough storage space for all of your media. At West Elm, we carry white media consoles ranging from 40 inches to over 80 inches in length with a variety of different storage configurations. Consider features such as adjustable shelves and cord cutouts for extra convenience.

The clean lines and simple styling of a white media console will help your space feel more open and airy, while smart storage options will keep your home less cluttered. A white console is a great pick for the modern home.
