Designing a dedicated media room or entertainment space isn’t just about fitting in a TV and a few chairs—it’s about crafting a versatile space that enhances your home and reflects your needs. From smart storage for your A/V equipment to minimalist designs, they're ready to highlight the best ways to make your room functional.

Everyday Functionality

California Closets’ Virtuoso line is a standout option for media rooms. "With doors and drawers wider than they are tall, Virtuoso creates a contemporary look that works perfectly for media rooms," explains California Closets Orange County Designer, Alejandro Hernandez. This design isn’t just about style—it’s also deeply practical.

For media rooms, mastering how to manage cords and wires is Step 1. California Closets takes a thoughtful approach, asking clients to identify what should remain out of sight versus what deserves to be on display. "Housing the unsightly is the first step, but how those components transmit determines whether you’ve planned a successful design," notes Hernandez. Doors and drawers are customized to allow seamless communication between wired and wireless devices, just as any smart home enthusiast would expect.

Maximize Space in Multi-Use Rooms

Media rooms are often part of larger, multi-functional spaces, making smart storage and layout a big consideration when designing a custom entertainment center. California Closets offers two lines—Virtuoso and Classic—to suit different needs. "While Virtuoso is minimalist, with partition-free components to increase lateral space, our Classic line provides greater depth for storage," says Hernandez.

Space-saving solutions for any room:

  • Partition-Free Designs: Maximize lateral space for a clean, open look.
  • Custom Design for Storage Depth: Ideal for housing larger items or multi-use setups.
  • Smart Drawers: Use every square inch efficiently with tailored storage solutions.
  • Tech-Friendly Features: Components aid in storing and managing all technology associated with your media center.

Decorative elements are obviously optional, but the team will take all your interests into account when it comes to designing a clutter-free space.
