"A TV cabinet -- in all its bachelor-pad, 'Monday Night Football' glory -- is often the scariest thing in a living room," says deputy style and home editor Shane Powers.

Here, circular knobs, curvy feet, and two tones of sage-green paint evoke cool elegance. The open-and-closed construction showcases knickknacks and books while concealing electronics (and your shame-inducing "O.C." box set).

Tip: For decorative knobs, anthropologie.com, restorationhardware.com, and ebay.com are great places to start. If you want decorative feet, try premierwood.com or osbornewood.com.
