- A TV console should be as wide as the TV or wider, ideally with a height that positions the TV at eye level when seated. - Floating shelves are best used for decor rather than functional storage, especially in children's rooms where sturdier options like wall-mounted bookcases are preferable. - Utilizing trays for organizing items on top of dressers and labeled bins for children's toys can help manage clutter effectively.
