In most instances, an entertainment unit has its place in the living room as a focus of, well, entertainment naturally. The flat screen TV, home entertainment system and all its associated paraphernalia occupy much of the space on top and within this functional piece. Design, styling and size are also important factors to consider when putting your money down for it. With all these considerations, this Oikiture 160cm Wooden Entertainment Unit is an ideal choice for discerning homeowners and renters.
Not too big in size (apartment-friendly) and yet offers plenty of real estate for entertainment and household essentials, and with stunning style and aesthetics to match. It will also sit well with most interior styles, from the modern to the traditional.
However, beyond its given standard role, this versatile entertainment unit can also serve its purpose, functioning in place of other specific furniture pieces. Using a bit of creativity and imagination, here are three alternative uses of this entertainment unit that are just as astounding and captivating as its original role.
As a Dining Sideboard
With its ample closed storage capacity for variety of dining essentials and a long open top for display, this entertainment unit can effortlessly function as a very practical sideboard for use in dining rooms. It is particularly useful providing additional space for food servings and appliances such as a kettle, a coffee maker and other associated food and beverage items. The possibilities are as lengthy as the 160cm long top. You get the idea.
As a Low-Profile Display Cabinet
There are no design and functional rules to say that an entertainment unit must always be placed in front of you or the sofa. It can easily be used as a low-profile display cabinet and placed behind long sofas to add depth and character to the existing sofa. As this unit does not have a fully covered back (cable management holes are seen at the rear), it is best to utilise it with its back against a wall or another piece of furniture as depicted in the image.
Style it and make it an exceptional showcase and conversational piece. The faux marble top further adds a touch of exquisite elegance to the living ambience, especially with open-plan concept interiors.
As a Chest of Drawers
It may unconventional but having this entertainment unit to masquerade as a chest of drawers could simply be an ingenious idea. Whether it’s in the bedroom, guestroom or family room, the unit works perfectly in its re-purposed role with more than adequate storage and display space as a practical alternative to a chest of drawers.
These are just three unique functional permutations of this entertainment unit. We are sure there can be perhaps another one or two more creative uses. So put on your thinking hat and start exploring more when you pick up one of these for your home from our online store soon.
