A great solution for that large, unused space is to install built-in cabinets and shelves. However, custom cabinetry can be costly, running into thousands of dollars for a media center that fits your space. Enter the EKET line from IKEA, offering an ideal IKEA hack to create a DIY media cabinet without overspending. With a wide variety of cabinet options, the possibilities for a customized storage system are abundant. Whether you have an unusually long wall or a large room, EKET cabinets can help design a floating entertainment center with some built-in storage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Integrating the EKET line into your existing decor allows you to craft a fully customized media storage system. With choices like media stands, wall-mounted shelving, and glass cabinets, it&#8217;s a top pick for built-in storage. Compared to traditional media centers, the EKET system is highly affordable. For instance, a two-door EKET cabinet measuring 27 \u00bd inches wide costs $80, and depending on your wall length, you might need just two or three. Combine these with cube-style cabinets with solid doors ($30 each) or glass doors ($40 each), and you can create a modular storage system for under $1,000.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Building a Custom Media Center with the EKET System<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DFtLRPXSmul\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><p>\n    View this post on Instagram<\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many homeowners know the challenge of dealing with the empty wall around their TV, which often looks incomplete.
