  1. Hidden TV lift cabinets vs wall mounts

    Hidden TV lift cabinets and wall mounts are both modern TV placement ideas. Yet, both are very different. Wall mounts have a bunch of problems that you can avoid by simply choosing a hidden TV lift cabinet.

    Here are some:

    1. The TV mount is not centered- This is a very common problem. No matter how carefully you take the measurements, chances are that you will drill holes in the wrong spots. It isn’t hard to get it right, but it is even easier to get it wrong. Once the holes are drilled, there’s little scope for moving things around and drilling another set of holes for the TV mount! So, though you have your TV up on the wall, you’re going to cringe each time you pass by it, simply because it isn’t centered!

    The solution - Ditch the wall mount altogether. Order a  hidden TV lift cabinet, and you won’t need to drill any holes into any wall. Also, with a  hidden TV lift cabinet, you don’t need to center the TV, just push the hidden TV lift cabinet along, and you’re done! The TV moves

  2. Top 3 disadvantages of sustainable decor

    Sustainable decor is in, but how hard is it to shift to sustainable decor? 

    Let’s check out the cons of sustainable decor:

    1. Needs extensive research

    Though sustainability is a popular hashtag, it isn’t easy to find what you are looking for. There is a far greater variety available in the regular decor basics and accessories. For example, you can find plastic containers everywhere, but glass containers with eco-friendly bamboo lids are a tad bit harder to find. However, we have changed that with our hidden TV lift cabinets. TVLiftCabinet.com has so many hidden TV lift cabinet models to choose from that you’re sure to find the hidden TV lift cabinet you are looking for.  

    2. Pricing

    If you are lucky to find the piece of sustainable home decor that you are looking for, pricing can be an issue. Since a lot goes into ensuring sustainable practices, these items can be a little expensive. For many customers, pricing is the top deciding factor. However, many of these products work out cheaper

  3. Avoiding common pitfalls of ordering furniture online

    Ordering stuff online is extremely convenient, but sometimes it backfires terribly. So, how do we avoid the most common pitfalls then?

    Here’s a quick checklist:

    1. Get the measurements right- The most obvious problem is receiving the wrong-sized furniture. This is not to say that the shipping company made a mistake, but that the error could be on either side- yours or the seller’s. On your end, you need to make sure that you have a clear idea of how much space you have available. Consider the measurements of the space and the furniture before you place the order. An oversized dining table in a tiny space is a decor disaster. Similarly, when ordering a  hidden TV lift cabinet, make sure you measure your TV the right way.  Also, a petite  hidden TV lift cabinet is a good fit for smaller bedrooms than a large media console. Bottom line: Always refer to the instructions given on the website.
    2. Visualize the look- Do not absent-mindedly order a piece of furniture just because it is on sale

  4. Modern coastal decor basics

    What is coastal decor?

    The coastal or nautical style is all about a natural, calm, soothing, and of course, a beachy feel. The good thing is that you don't necessarily have to live by the beach to enjoy all things beachy. 

    Think water, sand, sea, nature, shells, ropes, and laid back.

    What does modern decor mean?

    The modern style is all about minimalism. Clear spaces, clutter-free space, and basically an organized way of living. 

    Think natural material, practical, open, and sleek.

    So, what is the modern coastal style?

    The modern coastal style is a crossover of the two styles. Though there are a lot of differences between the two schools of thought, both styles agree on natural materials, natural lighting, and open layouts. So, what we get is a coastal feel without anything being overwhelming. It’s the subtlety that makes the modern coastal style so unique. 

    Some basics:

    1. Basic color palette- A muted color palette is the way to go. So, though you can use bright blues and sunny oranges,

  5. Cord management design solutions

    Cords are outright ugly and annoying, which is why you're often forced to ‘manage’ them. If you are looking to buy new furniture, then you can use cord management as a filter. 

    Here are some ways cord management is incorporated into design:

    1. Buy furniture with lowered plug space- Some pieces of furniture come with specially built-in plug and cord management features. For instance, you can opt for side tables with concealed outlets behind them. They are not flush with the surface of the table, and so you can plug in your table lamps without the switchboards showing up.  
    2. Sofa tables- There are other pieces like sofa tables that you can place between the couch and the wall. They are slim tables and look like an extension of the couch, but are actually cord management accessories. These tables have in-built outlets and also USB ports. The only trouble is that if used as tables, they run the risk of having liquid spilled all over them, which is totally not recommended for electrical accessories.

  6. The beginner's guide to home decor

    If you are moving into a brand new home, you’ll need to get started on home decor. And that is something that can completely overwhelm you. 

    So, here’s a quick, practical guide on how to get started. 

    1. Do research- Home decor is not a two-month project. It is an ongoing thing, but you need to make sure that you have the right start. For that, you need to do some solid research. Look around in stores, look online. Take pictures and screenshots of what you like. Then look for similarities in all those pictures. When you analyze them, you will notice some clear features. For example, all those pictures probably feature rooms with neutral color palettes, shiplap walls, black accents, multiple rugs in the living and dining space, or even modern furniture like storage ottomans and a hidden TV lift cabinet. Use these details to define your tastes. Find your style.
    2. Declutter- Once you know the style you are looking for, start cutting down on what you have. You always need a clear workspace no

  7. 5 living room must-haves

    The living room is probably the most used space at home. That is why you need to know all about decorating the living room purposefully. 

    Here are some living room must-haves:

    The living element- If it is called a living room, it is more than appropriate to have something living in there. No, pets don't count! We are talking about indoor plants.

Well, with a hidden TV lift cabinet, you can keep the TV in the living room, as it should be.

  8. 5 Interior decor hacks to reduce stress

    There are a lot of things that cause stress at home.  Here are some tips on how to use home decor to reduce stress levels:

    1. Avoid an excess of straight edges

    Modern decor is all about well-defined straight lines. It looks great, but the downside is that these edges can make you feel edgy. The human brain prefers curves and rounded edges because they are interpreted as ‘non-threatening’. On the other hand, straight edges are ‘threatening’ and trigger an alert in the brain. Continuously being on alert evidently causes stress build-up.

    Quick tip: Soften the edges. Add rounded accents, like vases, or a round coffee table. Break the monotony of the rectilinear shapes.

    2. De-clutter

    Clutter is a common cause of psychological issues. Clutter visually triggers the brain into thinking about inefficiency and guilt, and makes a person feel overwhelmed and stressed. So, de-cluttering is crucial for mental health.

    Quick tip: Get down to smart storage. Put stuff away, if you cannot sort and discard

  9. Home styling tips for any space

    There are some tips that are extremely room specific. But, there are some that you can apply to any room you please. These tips can help you get the basics of home decor right. So, off we go!

    Get rid of eyesores

    An eyesore is anything that does not make your space look prettier, anything that interferes with the aesthetics. It includes promotional flyers, shoes lying scattered, and also ugly cords running all over the walls. So, how do we fix this mess?

    The simplest way to improve the aesthetics of a space is to work on these ugly things and get them out of sight. Here's how:

    1. Cord covers- Cord covers are very versatile,  in the sense that you can use them in any room and paint them any color. Just match the color of the wall and you are all set. Instead of ugly black or white cords on the wall, you'll see a pleasant cord cover of the same shade. Everything is streamlined and much neater be it the sconces in the bedroom or the TV cords in the living space, or the microwave cord in the

  10. Why couples fight over home decor

    If you're folks who understand logic, you'd know that there's got to be a reason behind couple fights and home decor projects. More than just one reason, actually. 

    Here are a few triggers that you can avoid:

    1. Unclear budgeting

    If you are looking to spend a particular amount on upgrading your home, and your partner has only half that amount in mind, there’s certainly going to be trouble. Fix a tentative budget so that both of you are on the same page. Share images and information with each other. Also, shop together. There is no point in one person picking up something and the partner disliking it outright. It is, after all, your cozy space, and there should be no room for negativity there. 

    2. Contrasting preferences

    Two people living together may or may not have the same style preferences. One person could be a minimalist, while the other could prefer a traditional style. In such a scenario, clashes between two people are inevitable. Sticking to one’s guns will not solve any problems.
