  1. What a hidden TV lift cabinet can do for your living room space

    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

  2. 5 biggest interior design mistakes to avoid

    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

  3. 4 quick tips on how to choose furniture for your home

     Buying furniture is challenging. There’s just so much choice and no amount of market research seems enough.  Here are a few tips that can make your task a little easier:

    Consider the general aesthetics- Will the piece fit in well with your plans? If you are using the new piece of furniture as a focal point, it should stand out, rather than merge into the background. If you are looking for something that is in continuation with the rest of the decor, consider the colors and textures to make sure that it doesn’t stand out too conspicuously. Some pieces of furniture are highly versatile, like a hidden TV lift cabinet that can add value to any room, simply because it is available in such a large range that you only need to figure out where to place it, and the hidden TV lift cabinet will lend itself to your decor. A woody hidden TV lift cabinet can quietly hide the TV, while a hidden TV lift cabinet with metallic accents can add some jazz to the room.

  4. Buying the right TV lift cabinet, according to placement

    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

  5. Buying the right TV lift cabinet, according to features

    There are some factors to consider before you buy a hidden TV lift cabinet. Other than its look and feel, its features need to be taken into account, so that you do not end up buying the wrong piece of furniture.

    1. Size- The size of your TV will undoubtedly sway your choice. Obviously, you cannot fit a big TV into a small TV lift cabinet. You can manage the other way around, but we wouldn’t recommend you do that either. Many manufacturers use specific lift sizes. That means that mounting a small TV onto a big TV lift cabinet will not give you the kind of fit the manufacturer intended. Also, it is a sheer waste of space. Afterall, a TV lift cabinet is meant to save you space, not take up extra room
    2. Swivel- Depending on where you intend to place the hidden TV lift cabinet, you may or may not require the swivel feature. If you are certain that the hidden TV lift cabinet will be placed right in front of the audience, you needn't worry about the swivel, but if it is going to need a change of

  6. Top 4 reasons to have a monthly home improvement budget

    You may not have any major renovation plans in mind, but it is recommended to have a monthly home improvement budget.  Any guesses why?  Read on to know more.

    1. To be future-ready- It’s surprising how stuff suddenly needs repairs. The boiler that was working just fine until yesterday refuses to behave itself today, or the fridge simply decides not to cool anymore. There’s no way you can put off these urgent repairs and here’s where your monthly home improvement budget will come in handy. You’d have already set aside money for such problems and won’t be forced to look through the kids’ piggy-banks for the much-needed cash. 
    2.  To keep you financially organized- All of us have an urge to spend on a particular sort of stuff. Some go crazy shopping for their wardrobe, some for shoes, some for tools, and some simply can’t hold themselves back when they step into an Ikea or Wayfair store. The next time you’re out shopping for the home, think of your budget. It will help keep a check on your

  7. Cool CNC cart build using a TV lift mechanism

    If you are a serious woodworking enthusiast, you will at some point in time need a CNC cart for your tools. Of course, you’ll need to take care of quite some paraphernalia. This DIY video tutorial by Jonny Builds shows just how useful a CNC cart can be, and how cool it can be, especially when fitted with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    Advantages of a CNC cart with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    1. Increased mobility- it is always a good idea to have a CNC cart that you can wheel around. This makes it easier to move the computer system closer to a power supply or closer to the machinery as need be. The greater the mobility, the easier things are.
    2.  Keeps your system safe- Even though you can opt for machines with a dust collection system in place, it is always recommended to keep your computer away from dust. So if your computer monitor is mounted on a hidden TV lift mechanism and is housed in a CNC cart, you can safely tuck it away when

  8. DIY space-saving TV lift mechanism PC and utility cart

    Anything that saves you room and gives you flexibility becomes an asset, just like the TV lift mechanism. The TV lift mechanism, coupled with the creative ideas from Wood.Work.LIFE. can make life so much easier. These ideas score high on practicality without compromising on aesthetics. You can watch the video here. 

    The folks at Wood.Work.LIFE. built a utility cart with tools and a hidden P.C. monitor. If you are a business owner you certainly need a PC. It is impossible to work without a system that keeps track of everything from supplies, sales, to deliveries, and so on. If you need a system, obviously you also need space to set it up. That means a particular portion of your counter space is permanently dedicated to the computer. There’s nothing you can do about it even if you need that space for something else.  

    But what if you could make the monitor disappear and have all the wires gone, so you have a perfectly clear counter space to do whatever you need to? That is exactly what

  9. Practical bedroom upgrade with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    What do you do when your bedroom is all good, but your TV is too low? Well, if you are a DIY enthusiast, you do what Mike from Modustrial Maker did– build a concrete countertop and stash away a hidden TV lift mechanism underneath, that conveniently appears at the touch of a button!

    The concrete is unique and the TV mounted on the hidden TV lift mechanism is magical. Couldn’t have been a better mix of style and practicality, while having fun with a creative project. You can watch the video here, for detailed information. 

    The most common problems of having a TV in the bedroom are:

    1.  Lack of space- If you have a TV on a dresser or a cabinet, placing anything else on the top gives a very cluttered look. Not the best thing for a bedroom, which is ideally supposed to give you a ‘peace of mind’ feel. A hidden TV lift mechanism or a hidden TV lift cabinet fixes that problem by simply putting the TV away when you aren’t watching it. 
    2. Focus on the TV- More often than not, the focus of a bedroom

  10. Top 5 reasons to have your own bar at home

    Thinking of having your own bar at home?

    Here are 5 reasons why it’s a great idea:

      1. Show off your creativity- If you are creative, it’s gotta show, just like Shaun Boyd’s does, in these two videos- part one and part two of using a TV lift mechanism to build a modern home bar. The TV lift mechanism has been put away in a hidden compartment and the mechanics cannot be seen. What is seen, is the revelation of a liquor cabinet that has secret storage and looks awesome. That's a secret home bar!

    1. Favor and savor your favorites- There are times when you walk into a bar with a particular taste in your head. And, they don’t have it. Of course, you’ll settle for something else. With a home bar, you simply won’t be pushed to compromise. Your bar, your stock that lets you favor your favorites and savor them too.
    2. No timing hassles- Since you’re the boss, there are no opening and closing hours that you need to watch out for.  It brings total convenience, whether you are all by yourself, or have company.
