Your home theater is more than just a killer sound system and TV or projector. It’s about the décor, the support components, and the way you tie it all together. Finding the right entertainment center for a smaller space can be harder than you would expect. In fact, when I was younger and in need of a smaller entertainment center, I found it almost impossible to find one that offers solid construction, stylish designs, and ample storage.

So what are the 8 best entertainment centers for smaller rooms?

Small rooms tend to call for smaller entertainment centers. Most expert home theater designers recommend sticking to entertainment centers that are 48 inches or less in width. Entertainment centers that go beyond this often protrude into smaller home theaters and can limit the space you have for other furniture as well as mobility.

With that being said, below I list some of the best entertainment centers for smaller rooms and we have another article on the best soundbars for small rooms as well. 

1. Ameriwood Home Galaxy TV Stand

The Ameriwood Home Galaxy TV Stand (on Amazon) offers a sleek, modern spin on entertainment centers. Offered in black, this open entertainment center offers plenty of space via three differently-sized, large shelves.

In addition to this, flat-screen TVs up to 70-inches wide can be mounted directly to the stand itself. This means you can appreciate the appeal of a mounted TV without having to punch holes in your walls. (This is great if you are renting!)

The sturdy metal frame can support TVs up to 105 pounds; the floating shelves attach to this metal frame and can support all of your entertainment center needs. Additionally, if you do opt for wall mounting your TV, the included mount can be easily removed from the unit, leaving just the floating shelves.

Also, if you want to attach the entertainment center to the wall to prevent accidental tipping, screws and instructions for doing so are included.
