There are loads of alternatives to the traditional TV console. In fact, often the most stylish consoles weren't originally designed to be media units at all. You can turn any storage piece of furniture into a console – we have seen some beautiful vintage sets of drawers and side tables being used to home a TV and you can quite easily add holes into the back if you need to run wires out. Floating shelving is another option if you are after a more minimalist aesthetic, or using a stable bookcase to help blend the TV into the room.
