  1. How to build a hidden TV lift cabinet

    What do you do when you can’t stand the black hole of a TV at home? Or when the side profile of the TV on the wall looks horribly ugly? Obviously, you can’t just take the TV off the wall and be done with it. You simply need a TV when you want to watch it.  It is precisely when you are stuck with such a problem that the TV lift mechanism comes in to save the day (and the TV and your peace of mind)!

    Amy from HerToolBelt just couldn’t stand the sight of the TV on the wall. She used our TV lift mechanism to solve the problem. As awesome as she is with tools, Amy created a cabinet with sliding barn doors. This cabinet features a hidden compartment. It is here that the TV lift mechanism is placed with the TV mounted onto it. So, what looks like a charming living room cabinet, secretly contains the TV and is a hidden TV lift cabinet!

  2. How a hidden TV lift cabinet can baby-proof your TV

    Having a TV is not a problem, but keeping it safe is definitely an issue, especially with a baby around.  Babies are curious little beings who enjoy going on discoveries and adventures that often end up as misadventures and accidents. 

    Why do you need to baby-proof the TV?

    A 2020 report stated that 11,000 children were injured in furniture and TV tip-over-related accidents each year. Babies aren’t very good at balancing and will try to clutch anything that they think can save them from falling. In the process, the child falls, but ill-placed heavy furniture or the TV falls onto them as well, complicating matters tremendously. That makes TV and baby security a matter of high priority.

    What is a  hidden TV lift cabinet?

  3. Awesome home office upgrade with a TV lift mechanism

    Most of us hadn’t given the home office much thought until we were forced to stay home and work out of that semi-ignored space.  And that is when DIY Builds realized that their home office desperately needed an upgrade.  Once the upgrades started, there was no stopping them.  Here is what DIY Builds did with their home office.  You can see the whole build here.

    The old home office had two desks set up right next to each other. There was enough workspace, but the look did not tie in well together. So, he decided to create a twin computer table desk and added a special feature to it. He used the TV lift mechanism to hoist a TV on it, which he strategically hid behind the desk unit!  Turned out amazing.

    There are some undeniable advantages of having a hidden TV lift mechanism in your home office. 

    1. Raises the style quotient- More than anything else, automation adds a touch of luxury to the decor. With a simple press of the remote, the TV lift mechanism props the TV up. The TV suddenly

  6. Smart room partition/divider ideas

    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

  7. How the TV lift cabinet fits into the modern home office

    The lasting effects of the pandemic continue to influence home decor trends. Certain types of furniture, particularly the multi-purpose segment, which includes space savers like hidden TV lift cabinets, study tables, coffee tables with storage, etc.,  have become very relevant.  The logic is quite clear, as is the verdict of the customers- that changing times demand changes at home. 

    1. New furniture- With remote work and online studies becoming a necessity rather than a choice,  households have had to undergo changes to make space for everyone.   Previously unused areas have been converted into usable home offices and  study areas.  This new arrangement has opened up the mindset to a little bit of experimentation with new furniture,especially the kind that serves more than one purpose,  like the hidden TV lift cabinets that are suitable for any space. 
    2. Clutter- Since the hidden TV lift cabinet takes charge of the TV, the gadgets, the accessories and the wiring, it clears

  8. Choosing between a TV lift cabinet and a media console or dresser

    Looking to upgrade your entertainment space? Why settle for something as mainstream as  a media console or a media dresser?  Consider buying a hidden TV lift cabinet.  Here are a few reasons that will make the purchase worth it.

    1. Space saving designs-  Hidden TV lift cabinets are designed to save space, just like the regular media consoles, except that the media consoles are much wider and spread out than the hidden TV lift cabinetsHidden TV lift cabinets give you the flexibility to use your entertainment centre as the focal point of your room,  or to simply allow the attention to go to other parts, furniture pieces, or even art pieces in the room.  A hidden TV lift cabinet is not overbearing and  so, you are not stuck with the monstrosity of the furniture.

  9. Why is freestanding furniture trending?

    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
