BH | Studio Westport Wall-Mounted Media Cabinets, Set of 2

Shaped and faceted surfaces have dressed case furniture for centuries. Seventeenth-century chests were faced with raised geometric panels, and eighteenth-century cabinetmakers laid small squares of wood in parquetry patterns that caught the light at different angles. Texture on a cabinet front is an old pleasure, not a new idea.

Two matching cabinets hang next to each other on the wall to make one 79-inch run, wide enough to anchor a large wall-mounted television while the floor stays clear. Both are faced in the same raised wood-grain squares, each block a little proud of or behind the next, and the push-to-open doors keep the relief unbroken and the equipment hidden. Inside each, a shelf that spans the full width and moves up or down takes a streaming box or a console; each has openings for cords at top and bottom and is rated to hold 88 lbs. Some assembly is required.

Hang the pair along the main wall of a family room, with consoles and players hidden inside and books, a plant and a bowl on top. They can also be hung apart, either side of a fireplace. Chestnut squares give a modern media wall real warmth; pair them with a deep sofa in oatmeal linen, a wool rug and a few brass picture lights. This listing is for a set of two cabinets.
