Custom Flat Panel TV Cabinets and Custom TV CabinetsTelevisions, especially the new flat panel or plasma TVs, create their own set of challenges. Most people buy a large cabinet to house their electronics. But it is important to have a cabinet that works well in a given space and works well with the interior of your house. A custom cabinet is the only way to seamlessly integrate your TV into your room. BeforeThis was an alcove that was designed to hold the TV and stereo equipment. The client considered stock cabinets, but when they drafted up a design, the stock cabinets looked awkward in the space. |

Flat Panel TV Over the FireplaceThis client had a brick fireplace that dominated the room. What they wanted was their new plasma TV mounted over their fireplace with a speaker system incorporated into the mantel. They also wanted custom cabinets would include a pull-out media center that would make the best use of space and enhance the simple beauty of the room. |

TV over FireplaceCustom cabinets were designed to hold the AV equipment and provide additional storage. Bookshelves and cabinets were all integrated. The top of the fireplace was paneled in wood and the plasma TV was mounted over the fireplace. The AV cabinet on the left has a nice pull-out unit to make the electronics completely accessible. A custom mantel was built to house the Yamaha YSP-1 speaker. This fireplace was converted to a zero-clearance insert, so the heat wouldn't be a problem for the speaker in the mantel. The client made a beautiful selection of colors, keeping the wood behind the TV dark so that the TV was not the focal point in the room. There are more pictures of this cabinet system on our Built-in Plan site. |

Custom TV CabinetThe TV barely fit in this space between the living room and the kitchen. The client wanted to lift the TV and tilt it slightly, and have a cabinet that matched the kitchen to hide the TV away when it was not in use.
