1. Sort. Grab a lot of big boxes or lawn and leaf trash bags. The first step is to RUTHLESSLY sort through your things, room by room, cabinet by cabinet, closet by closet, and think very carefully about why you want to keep each item you've put in the "keep" pile. Is it still really "you"? Does it hold some sentimental value? Do you use it? If not, do you think you really ever will again? I promise you'll feel lighter and more free when you've purged all of the things you don't use or love anymore.

The brilliant fish in this picture add color to the room and make us do a double-take, perhaps thinking for a moment that this is a fish tank.

See what I mean?

Another fairly common solution is a minimalist, simply constructed open cabinet, available at most modern furniture stores. I like the simplicity of this solution, but keep in mind that wire management can become unsightly.

Before everyone arrives, do a final swoop to be sure you got rid of all clutter. With that many bodies in one home, extra stuff will make the space feel that much more constricted.

Of course the table looks wonderful with other mid-century classics such as the Eames Lounge Chair.

Entertainment systems have changed dramatically in recent years and cabinet manufacturers and shops are running fast to keep up. Just as TVs become more streamlined and minimal, so does the cabinetry that accompanies them. Contemporary, floating and open cabinets are all growing in popularity.

She's already let her hair down and taken off her bra for the sake of creativity, so I think it's about time Peggy got rid of her angular coffee table to make room for this Eames elliptical coffee table.

If you’re lucky enough to have incredible wood flooring, don’t feel pressured to cover it up with rugs. Instead, go minimal by keeping it bare. If you’re worried about cold toes and have the budget, consider an electric floor heating system.

Another thought--there are lots of pics that have mounted TV's that are NOT recessed, but they do have a table below them. This is a slick look--it gives the feeling that the TV is recessed because the table sticks out. THis would be a lot cheaper--and your turntable could go in the floating table below.
