Any furniture that has these characteristics is modern furniture. You’ll know when you look around your home.

1. Space-saving- As houses and apartments have become more and more compact in recent years, we are challenged with making the most of the limited space,  unless, of course, you are a billionaire. That's an entirely different story. The space-saving aspect of the furniture dictates just about all the other features of modern furniture, as in the case of hidden TV lift cabinets.
2. Clean design- Modern furniture has a clean design with simple lines. It is minimalistic, with no frills and no fuss. The focus is on simplicity and not on excessive decoration/ornamentation. Surfaces are smooth and free from unnecessary textures. Our range of hidden TV lift cabinets gives you both modern and traditional models to choose from. 
3. Functionality- This is the most important aspect of modern furniture. The main reason behind the evolution of modern furniture is its functionality. What works well,

Thinking of getting a hidden TV lift cabinet? Take a look at how a  hidden TV lift cabinet can add to the functionality of your space. 

1. Lets you change the focal point- The minute you place your TV in a hidden TV lift cabinet, the TV is not the mandatory focal point anymore. That lets you arrange your furniture in any layout you want. What's more, you can move the hidden TV lift cabinet to any spot- bang in the middle of the space or in a quiet corner. With the hidden TV lift cabinet, it's really a matter of push and play. So, more power to your creative self.
2. Makes room for additional seating- A hidden TV lift cabinet completely eliminates the need for a huge media console that takes up too much room and limits the seating capability of the living area. That is a problem when you have company over. With a hidden TV lift cabinet, however, you can house your TV and other related devices in a compact cabinet. And so, you have room for more seating, even if it means temporarily moving

Certain trends are evidently out and it is those things that make your home look old. So what dates homes anyway? Here are some things that can make your home look dated:

1. Huge media consoles- Huge media consoles were a rage, but that was ‘once upon a time’. Now, these consoles only take up room. We somehow had tons of stuff to put on/in those consoles, but ever since de-cluttering became the keyword, those consoles went out of fashion. Today, the focus is on utility, which is why hidden TV lift cabinets have started replacing oversized media consoles. Also, hidden TV lift cabinets do not have any open shelves, but store all the gadgets behind the unit’s closed doors. Obviously, hidden TV lift cabinets score better on gadget safety too, since everything is tucked away safely. Putting all these factors together, it isn’t hard to understand why modern customers prefer hidden TV lift cabinets over elaborate media consoles.
2. Pink wall paint- As much as we hope you are always in the pink of health,

There are some design ideas that are so commonly implemented that you don’t even realize that they are actually mistakes that are limiting the aesthetics of your space. 

Check out the 4 most basic mistakes people do:

• Pushing furniture against the walls- finished backs

Most of us feel that pushing the furniture all the way against the walls makes the space look bigger. Well, the truth is, that it makes the room look rather dull, with a sterile vacuum in the middle! That is absolutely no good! Instead, if you bring the furniture towards the middle of the room, you'll have a more inviting space, one that welcomes conversations. 

One quick tip to avoid having to push the furniture to the walls is to have finished backs. That is why we have an entire range of hidden TV lift cabinets that are fully finished. You can place such hidden TV lift cabinets anywhere. The same goes for other pieces of furniture too.

• Having an inappropriate rug (color and size-wise)

If you thought that the function

So you’ve made up your mind to buy a hidden TV lift cabinet, but don’t know which one to select?  Take a quick look at these pointers to understand what exactly needs to be considered when buying a hidden TV lift cabinet for your home.

1. The decor- A hidden TV lift cabinet is not something that you can hide away in a corner. It hides the TV, but is evidently visible itself. On the contrary, many people use it as the focal point of the room. That is why it is important that the color, texture, and style of the hidden TV lift cabinet fits in well with the decor of the room. A modern hidden TV lift cabinet will hardly be a good fit in a classic, country themed room. Similarly, a traditional hidden TV lift cabinet will be out of place in a modern living room.
2. Placement- You need to have a fair idea of where you want to place the hidden TV lift cabinet because that will help you figure out the type of hidden TV lift cabinet you need to buy. If you need to place your hidden TV lift cabinet at

Humans use technology to make their lives easier. This applies to all fields, right from transport, to work, to our homes. Here we have shortlisted some modern techs must-haves that deserve your attention.

Motorized blinds and shades- You needn’t go all over the house opening and shutting the blinds each morning and evening. Motorized blinds and shades make things a lot easier and come with added benefits too. There is an entire range of such blinds available, so you are not stuck with a few options. You can choose from roller blinds, cellular blinds, faux wood blinds, and so on. They come with multiple controls like the wall controls installed in the room, the handy remote control, and even an app on your phone. You can program the blinds to open and close at specified times. The advantages? Well, you are free from the monotony of handling the blinds day in and day out, the blinds are free from manual handling, and so undergo less wear and tear and if used judiciously, they can actually

If you think our TV lift mechanism are meant only for TVs, you’re in for a big surprise. Read on to know what Doug at Artfully Rogue did with the lift! You can watch the video here.

Out of an entire range of TV lift mechanism sizes (from 25 to 46  inches), Doug chose a 25-inch lift for his project. The sturdiness of each lift is unbeatable, letting you choose whichever size you want, without any anxiety. Of course, common sense and specified weight limits are the only considerations. 

The motor and controller come ready to use. You don’t need any assembling. The mounting kit also contains screws to mount the TV onto the lift mechanism, but that is if you want to use it as a TV lift mechanism. Doug clearly had other plans.

Doug used metal tubing to make legs and rails. Next, he welded it all together to make a frame. Once the frame of the cabinet was made, he placed a metallic plate at the bottom, making a sturdy base, to place the TV lift mechanism on. Another metallic plate was used

The “openness” of open floor layouts can be quite intimidating, and so you need to break the monotony.  One of the most convenient ways of doing so is by setting up a divider to create separate spaces. There are tons of smart ideas that you can use.

1. Panels- Panels are an effective way to divide a large space into smaller spaces. Panels are not nearly as defining as walls, but function very well as partitions. They come in an entire range of materials including wood, bamboo, and glass. Panels are semi-permanent in the sense that they need a little bolting either into the walls, the ceiling, or the floor. Still, they offer a lot of variety in terms of design and even alignment.  
2. Sliding glass doors- Sliding glass doors are used to create much more defined spaces than panels can. They also cut out sound to some extent, making the partition a lot more effective. The panels can be clear glass or frosted glass, depending on the degree of privacy  you require. 
3. Screens- Screens are available

What is freestanding furniture?

Freestanding furniture includes all those pieces of furniture that simply need to be placed rather than fixed to the floor or the walls.  It includes all the stuff that needs no bolting or screwing in.  Think bookshelves,  storage cabinets,  media consoles,  and even hidden TV lift cabinets.  Inbuilt wardrobes are not freestanding because they are fixed to the wall. 

What makes freestanding furniture so fancy?

Freestanding furniture is trending simply because they let you make the most out of your space and decor.  They offer a lot of versatility in terms of styling.  For instance, you can easily move a hidden TV lift cabinet or an ornate chest of drawers from one part of the room to another, or if you please, to another room altogether.  Now imagine doing that with a shelf that has been installed on your living room wall.  There is no way you can remove the shelf without leaving holes in the wall.  That is precisely the advantage

The last year has changed our lifestyle in a big way. As thinking and perception change, let’s take a quick look at the trending living room design ideas.

Practical seating solutions- Never before has the family room seen so much activity. It has now emerged as the most convenient ‘hangout’ place at home, where everyone spends time together. Practicality has become an important family place. Fanciness is not nearly as awesome as comfort. The focus now is on having some great seating space in the family room. So, we are betting on pieces of furniture that are super comfortable.

Play with the palette- Most folks like to play it safe when it comes to the living room color palette. The favorites are neutral shades like beige or a faint gray. Yet, all beige seems rather dull, and so, the trend is towards having neutral colored walls, and using accessories to brighten up the space. Simple strategies include floral print couches, bright cushions, or throws; basically stuff with a pop of color.
