Been make-doing with an old-school media console? While they may look fashionable in certain interior design styles, you definitely need to upgrade to a sleek, modern media wall.

Many design trends come and go, but a classy ceiling is forever! This is one thing that you should never compromise on. Ceilings have a way of creating unseen visual barriers between spaces that are great when you’re trying to create individual zones in an open floor plan. You can do all that and more with the help of a beautifully designed ceiling.
4. Asymmetric shelving

Old-school shelving is one of the things that give your interior designs an outdated look. Instead, you have to consider upgrading to a trendy asymmetric open shelving. This can be a part of the media wall or can be designed as a singular feature element on an important accent wall. The possibilities are endless and you can even customize the design to your liking.
5. Trendy furniture
