1. Start with your home entertainment system. If you are planning to purchase a large screen TV you have several options from a Flat Screen Hi-Def TV to a floor version. Most Hooker Furniture entertainment centers can accommodate various size Plasmas/DLP/LCDs.
2. What kind of room setting do you desire? Casual and relaxed? Sophisticated and distinctive? Rural and natural? Formal and elegant? Funky and artistic? Conventional and functional?
3. Do you desire an entertainment center that allows space for personal items to be displayed or a hideaway console? What types of items do you want to display in your entertainment center? Personal keepsakes or collectibles? Sound system electronics? Large-scale art?
4. What is your entertaining style? Elegant dinner parties? Relaxing pizza nights? A glamorous cocktail party with trendy drinks and hors d'oeuvres or a backyard BBQ? Your entertaining style can influence the style entertainment center where the choices vary from a relaxed open faced front Fairview to our handsome Villa Florence home theater wall unit.
5. Lastly, what are your space limitations? Draw out your room on a piece of paper measuring the area designated for your entertainment center. Add in your surrounding furniture to help narrow down your entertainment choices. Hooker Furniture has developed innovative centers for space limitations. Some designs include our corner entertainment pieces, plasma/DLP/LCD consoles and our console-hutches with open area for displaying or mounting a flat screen TV.
