A floating entertainment center is my favorite way to make a living room feel lighter, cleaner, and way more intentional. With the floor left open underneath, you get that airy “built-in” look without the bulky footprint.
Flip-Down Doors for Quick Access
A flip-down door front keeps the face super clean while still giving you easy access to devices. I’ve used soft-close hinges on these, and it makes the whole floating entertainment center feel quietly luxe.
Check if these fit your needs:
- Soft-Close Drop Down Hinges: Upgrade your cabinet doors with these hinges to ensure a smooth, silent motion every time you open them.
- Minimalist Finger Edge Pulls: Install these discreet handles to maintain a seamless look while making flip-down doors easy to grab.

Modern Minimalist Floating Console
When I want a no-fuss upgrade, I build a sleek wall-mounted console with flat fronts and simple lines—it instantly makes the TV wall feel calm. I’ve found that a clean natural wood grain finish is all the “decor” you really need.

Rustic Reclaimed Wood Box Cabinet
For cozy farmhouse vibes, I love using reclaimed wood planks to build a chunky floating cabinet that looks like it’s been there forever. In my shop, the knots and saw marks always turn into the best conversation starters under a wall-mounted TV.
Explore these options:

Floating Console With Deep Drawers
If you’re drowning in remotes and cords, a floating entertainment center with big drawers is the sanity saver I build most often. I’ve learned to make the drawers extra smooth because you’ll use them constantly during movie nights.
Some ideas to consider:
- Wall-Mounted Media Console: Upgrade your living room with a sleek floating console to store essentials and free up floor space.
- Drawer Organizer Trays: Tame the chaos inside your new deep drawers by organizing remotes, controllers, and cables neatly.
- Cable Management Kit: Keep those annoying dangling wires hidden and organized for a clean, professional finish behind your console.
Floating Corner Entertainment Center
Corners are sneaky-good for a floating entertainment center, especially in smaller living rooms where every inch counts. I’ve built corner units with angled faces, and the floor space you gain feels like magic.
These products might help:
- Wall-Mounted Corner Shelf Console: Maximize your room’s potential with a sleek corner unit that frees up floor space while organizing media essentials.
- Floating Wood Shelves: Add extra storage or display space above your console using these clean, minimalist shelves perfect for decor.

Open-Shelf Floating Entertainment Center
Open shelves keep the vibe light, and I’ve used them when clients want easy access to devices inside their floating media unit. Personally, I still add a small cable management channel in back so it doesn’t turn into wire spaghetti.
Useful items to consider:
- Floating Wooden TV Console: Upgrade your living space with a wall-mounted console that keeps floors clear and offers stylish storage for media.
- Decorative Woven Storage Baskets: Organize clutter instantly while adding natural texture to open shelves with these charming, functional woven baskets.

Slatted Wood TV Wall With Floating Base
A wood slat wall behind the TV plus a matching floating console is one of the fastest ways I’ve seen to get that high-end feature wall look. I like spacing the slats evenly and letting the floating entertainment center “ground” the whole design.
Consider these options:
- Wood Slat Wall Paneling: Transform your plain walls instantly; use these pre-made acoustic wood panels to create a warm, modern backdrop.
- Floating TV Console: Save floor space and achieve that sleek, suspended look with a minimalist wall-mounted entertainment unit.
- Track Lighting Kit: Highlight the texture of your new wood wall with adjustable ceiling track lights for dramatic ambiance.
Asymmetrical Shelves Around the TV
When a plain rectangle feels too expected, I add asymmetrical floating shelves on one side of the TV and keep the console clean underneath. I’ve played with staggered shelf heights, and it makes the entire floating entertainment center feel designed, not just installed.
Some handy options:
- Floating Wood Wall Shelves: Instantly add visual interest and display space by staggering these simple shelves next to your television screen.
- Minimalist Wall Mounted Media Console: Keep your floor space open and organized with a sleek, floating unit that hides cords and devices.
- Decorative Dried Pampas Grass: Soften the sharp angles of your entertainment center by placing this tall, textured decor in a neutral vase.
Soundbar Ledge Built Into the Console
I love building a shallow soundbar shelf directly into the floating unit so it looks integrated instead of perched there. In my own builds, that little ledge also doubles as a tidy spot for a couple minimal decor pieces.
Might be a good match:
- Floating Walnut Media Console: Achieve this sleek, modern look instantly with a wall-mounted unit featuring open shelving for your electronics.
- Compact Soundbar: Upgrade your audio experience with a slim speaker system designed to fit perfectly inside media console shelves.
- Ceramic Vase Decor: Add a touch of minimalist elegance to your console surface with simple, neutral ceramic accent pieces.
Floating Console With “Parking Space” Below
One of my favorite layouts is leaving the unit floating high enough to slide in storage baskets or an ottoman underneath. I’ve done this in family rooms, and it’s the easiest way to keep the area around your floating entertainment center looking calm.
A few suggestions:
- Wall Mounted Floating TV Console: Create a modern, airy look by installing a sleek floating shelf that leaves ample floor space open underneath.
- Large Woven Floor Baskets: Tuck away blankets and toys effortlessly by sliding these textured, spacious baskets directly under your mounted console.
- Round Pouf Ottoman: Add extra seating that stows away neatly; perfect for sliding under a floating unit when not in use.
Wood and Metal Strap Floating Console
For an industrial-meets-farmhouse look, I combine wood and metal with visible strap details on the cabinet face or underside. I’ve built a few like this, and the hardware ends up looking like functional art under a wall-mounted TV.
You might give these a try:
- Industrial Style Wall Mounted TV Console: Capture the industrial look with a pre-made floating media cabinet featuring rustic wood finishes and metal accents.
- Decorative Metal L-Brackets and Straps: Customize a plain wooden shelf or cabinet by adding black iron corner braces for that rugged strap aesthetic.
