6. The Mid-Century Sideboard as a Media Console

Mid-century sideboards have a timeless, sleek profile that perfectly matches modern television sizes. They are wide, low-profile, and offer generous storage for gaming consoles, routers, and cables.

How to Make

Ensure your sideboard has holes for cable management. If it doesn’t, drill a small, clean hole in the back panel to allow wires to pass through. Style the top with a piece of large, modern art to anchor the TV and use the sliding or hinged doors to hide your clutter. The warm wood tones of a mid-century piece provide a great base for a modern tech setup.
