Our girls are no longer in the toddler phase and were spending most of their time playing in their rooms instead of the playroom these days. We knew it was time to transition this space into more of a family room.
A dedicated media room was a great way to tackle a list of needs: entertainment for movie nights and gaming sessions, much-needed storage, desks for homework, a table for family game nights, and a central place to stream music throughout the house.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a bottomless budget to design a stylish and functional media room.
I’ve rounded up some media room ideas on a budget for key elements such as built-in shelves, storage, a hidden movie screen, multifunctional furniture, tables, seating, art, dark paint, lighting, and cozy home decor.
