Uses for an Entertainment Center

Garage Storage

• The wide variety of spaces on an entertainment center makes it perfect for storage of garage items. Over time, most garages become a disorganized collection of discarded junk, but an entertainment center can help make your garage organized and neat. Most entertainment centers don't have a back, which is not a problem when you place them against a garage wall.

Room Dividers

• An entertainment center in some cases can work very well as a room divider in place of beads/curtains or a new wall. If the entertainment center has a back, removing it creates storage space between two rooms that share a purpose. For instance, if you use it to divide the kitchen and dining room, the entertainment center can be a place to hold plates, silverware or even condiments.

Sibling Dividers

• As an offshoot to a room divider, consider the entertainment center as a way to divide a large bedroom between siblings. Teenagers especially like their privacy, and if the bedroom is large enough or the entertainment center small enough, you can fit it into a bedroom to give siblings, or any two people sharing a room, a sense of their own space. Divide the areas of the entertainment center equally and allow the two people to use it for clothing, books, collectibles or video games.

Closet

• Very large entertainment centers, and especially the kind with doors attached, can be turned into small closets. With a few simple alterations, an entertainment center can become a place to store shirts, shoes, purses, ties, vests, sweaters and other items of apparel that don't take up much vertical space. Even those without doors can be turned into a small closet area if you can make the stacks neat and aesthetically appealing.
