In many homes, audio cabinet plans must be multifunctional. Besides storing your stereo and speakers, the cabinet should match the existing aesthetic of the room and double as a storage unit for other items. 

Using your stereo cabinet as a bookshelf adds to its artistic charm and helps relieve the clutter in your home. Whether you want to stack the books alongside each other library-style or you take a more design-centered approach by displaying individual covers is up to you. Combining horizontal and vertical book stacks is a great option for breaking up linear patterns and creating visual interest.

Sitting 32 inches high, this wood stereo cabinet is rectangular in shape and crafted out of durable MDF wood. It’s a soft gray-brown color with two plank cabinet doors with metal barrel hinges and dark handles that open up to shelving storage with cable management.  

A wooden stereo cabinet with glass doors is a slick addition to any modern music room. Glass helps illuminate a room, giving the impression that a space is larger than it is. An advantage of an enclosed cabinet is that it allows you to hide unsightly cables and AV components from your stereo. 

Decorate the unit with clean, modern features, such as chrome accessories or a metallic lamp. Consider installing multicolored LED lights under and around the unit to give the space a unique feel and set different moods.

For vinyl enthusiasts, decorating the area around the wooden stereo unit with the vinyl sleeves of your favorite albums creates a truly unique space. Depending on the extent of your record collection, there are a few novel ways to do this.

Purchase several record frames and mount some of the more colorful and artistic pieces from your collection. Or, if you own many records, place stylish storage racks on either side of the cabinet and stack the rest of your collection. This is a great way to display your vinyl LPs, and it helps with organization.

For old-school music lovers, a retro design approach can complete your music room. With vinyl records making a massive comeback over the last few years, what better way to decorate your stereo cabinet than with a vintage record player? Over time, you can build your record collection and proudly display them in the storage space of your cabinet. Consider adding a vintage lamp to enhance the retro feel.

If you enjoy listening to Classical, Jazz, Big Band, or Swing music while sipping on a cocktail, choose a wooden stereo cabinet that can double as a minibar. A stereo cabinet with a spacious countertop can accommodate your record player or stereo, and you can place a few of your favorite liquor bottles on the opposite end of the cabinet next to a decorative tray with cocktail-making gear. 

Choose a cabinet with closed cabinet doors so you can keep glassware dust-free, and use a wine rack insert to store your bottles horizontally to keep corks in good condition. 

Mounting a TV over wooden stereo cabinets helps create a complete entertainment hub. Not only do you have your stereo and music collection on display, but you can also choose to kick back and watch movies or play video games. 

If you don’t want to take up valuable countertop space, consider using a mounting bracket to hold the TV. You can decorate the top of the cabinet with speakers, a record player, or other music-themed items, like a metronome. Choose a solid wood stereo cabinet for long-lasting quality.

While you may dream of a large stereo cabinet for playing music and storing records, space doesn’t always allow it. However, that shouldn’t ruin your stereo cabinet plans. 

Small modular stereo cabinets are ideal for compact spaces. The cabinet’s cube design can fit plenty of records and multimedia items while providing ample room for a stereo and a few decorative touches such as candles or miniature potted plants. Best of all, if you move to a larger space, the modular design allows you to expand your storage and countertop space by adding extra cubes, so your cabinet can grow with your record collection. 

If you don’t want your stereo and music collection to be permanently displayed, a solid wood audio cabinet with doors lets you unveil your items for special occasions. 

Stereo cabinets with glass doors are functional and stylish, making them suitable for virtually any room in your house, from a bedroom to a study.  

While solid wood represents quality, it can become overly dominant in the room. Accessorize it with different colored decorative items on each shelf, such as neutral tone candles or contemporary chrome ornaments. Make sure you choose a unit with adjustable shelves so you can accommodate your stereo, speakers, and record collection, as well as keepsakes. 

Creating the perfect music room is all about setting the right vibe. Placing easy-to-maintain greenery around the stereo cabinet to create a tropical motif adds vibrancy to a space, matching the energy of your music. Accessorize rich green leaves with brass or copper plant pots and ornaments or a small lamp. 

If you want to fully commit to the jungle vibe, themed wallpaper provides a great backdrop for your stereo cabinet. 

Many chic stereo cabinets are inspired by mid-century modern design. With angular frames, smooth finishes, and metal hardware, these types of stereo cabinets are typically straightforward to decorate. Matching end tables and comfy chairs allow you to curate a social gathering space around your cabinet.

Decorate with music artwork, photos of your favorite artists, and music memorabilia, such as framed concert tickets or records, to accentuate the subtle modern design.
