What do you need to know about decorating the top of your entertainment center?

The entertainment centre can be transformed into a conversation piece with the help of some of these ideas for decorating it. Decorate your entertainment centre with art objects, photographs, plants, and other items to make it unique. The endless choices of decorations you have for your entertainment centre can be narrowed down if you choose a specific theme. The best way to inspire yourself if you don't know what theme to choose is by brainstorming some exciting and original ideas.

Showcase Your Family Vacations

On the shelves of your entertainment centre, showcase pictures of your family outings.

You can create design interest by varying the sizes and shapes of picture frames.
Keep your display cohesive by using the same frame colour and style. For family vacation photos, print them to the right size.
One shelf should have three 5"x7" photos, and the next should have a faux succulent planter and a pillar candle 3"x6".
Make sure you don't overcrowd your shelf when creating other photo displays.
To add interest to your photo easel, use smaller frames.
Grouping your photos make each shelf a little window into your past.

Nautical Outfits

Why not decorate your entertainment centre with various nautical motifs and art objects to show off your love for all things nautical?

Ships, sailboats, or lighthouses can serve as nautical objects, especially if you have some in your collection.
In a shadow box set on an easel, you can use anything nautical, like an anchor, a compass, a sand dollar, starfish, sea urchins, dolphins, whales, and whale tails.
Place a faux buoy on each end of a ship rope garland above your entertainment centre.
Perhaps you'd prefer a fishing net that catches shells, starfish, and other sea treasures.

Display your collection of snow globes

Incorporating a snow globe collection into your entertainment centre will add a touch of magic to it. For example, you may have a Disney snow globe collection you wish to display. On the next shelf, you may place a photo of the group or last trip to Disney. Consider using Disney-themed frames, or you may choose to create a snow globe theme based on your favourite characters. You may prefer a Star Wars collection, or perhaps you have a collection of fairies you have been collecting since childhood. Snow globes are wonderful gifts for Christmas, birthdays, and other special occasions. If you do not have a collection of snow globes, you can always begin one.

Build a bookshelf

You may not have a lot of decorating options for a TV stand. You will probably use most of the shelf space with your electronic equipment if you have shelves. To avoid watering plants around electronic equipment, you might want to add a candle or an artificial plant. Adding an open bookcase on either side can enhance your TV stand.

You will want to ensure the bookcases match the TV stand's finish, so they look like they belong together. By incorporating these additions, you can create a larger entertainment centre for decorating purposes. Your coffee table-style books and décor items can be displayed in the bookcases in coordination with the décor of your room. The theme can be carried with a bouquet of silk flowers and various green plants. Pressed flowers or faux succulents look great in these shadowboxes.

Feature seasonal and holiday vignettes

If your entertainment centre has a top shelf above the TV, you can decorate it with many seasonal and holiday decorations. The shelf can be dedicated to these special decorations. You can highlight an Easter bunny, a sisal bunny, or a nativity scene using recessed lights. Your prized old Gurley Thanksgiving candles or squirrel figurines would look stunning against a display of autumn leaves and branches.

Rectangles and squares should be the focus

Geometric shapes, especially squares and rectangles, look good with modern décor.

The rectangles and squares of your furniture can be played up if your TV is mounted on a wall above your TV stand.
You can repeat the rectangle shape by hanging vertical rectangle mirrors or frames beside your TV.
You can use these geometric shapes on the top of your TV stand, including picture frames, music boxes, keepsake boxes, and stacks of books.
Don't let your entertainment centre stand out from the rest of your decor by choosing accessories in your colour palette.

Create an elegant style with elaborate curtains

A large entertainment centre can be dressed up for a more cinematic appearance. Layered draperies, rope tiebacks, and fringe curtains can be used to decorate an elaborate entertainment centre. Choose a fabric that matches the house's overall décor and colour scheme. If you're going all out, add a few architectural features that match it. For example, crown moulding and a pair of columns can frame the entertainment unit.

Make Shelves Look Beautiful with Antiques

Incorporate antiques into your home entertainment centre's curved ends. Using small items will lose their impact on the massiveness of your entertainment centre, so avoid using items that are too tiny. For example, if you collect antique vases or old bottles, you can display them on the curved ends of your entertainment centre. To create a truly riveting display and easy to see, it must include large items that fill the space.
