Elegant. Ornate. Antique. These are not the words typically used to describe entertainment centers or TV stands.
Few people think of credenzas as entertainment centers, but they can be an ideal solution for those who favor traditional items over more contemporary designs.
Consider a piece like the Grand Manor Roxbury Credenza by Parker House that was exquisitely designed after country French antique furniture.
From the aged cream finish to the burns and sand-through marks, no detail was overlooked.
However, it’s those same details that would make it hard for some to believe a credenza would make an ideal television stand.
The credenza’s wide stance and sturdy construction makes it a perfect match for flat-paneled televisions. What about the glass doors typically used for displaying collectibles?
Those are perfect for allowing the remote control to connect to infrared sensor on any DVD player or video game console.
As a bonus, the Grand Manor Roxbury Credenza features two curved glass doors on both sides that can still show off your wares. It serves double duty.
So, if you prefer French-inspired carvings and soft colors over sleek lines and hard edges, don’t settle. Shake up the natural order of things and try using a credenza as your entertainment center.
