  2. Urban Camouflage Is Moving to a Suburb Near You

    A design trend that has been popular in many urban settings is now moving to the suburbs and rural areas of the country. Urban Camouflage. Now for some people, that means choosing military styles and colors to your wardrobe. But for those who embrace this new design trend, it’s more about selecting finishes and colors that blend in with the surroundings, hiding functional items when not in use and losing the clutter.

    Just Google the term "Urban Camouflage." You’ll find Pinterest boards, clothing, color palettes, furnishing and more.  One of our favorite sites, Houzz, has some great ideas to add a little Urban Camouflage style to your home. Most people who choose this style are usually trying to maximize smaller spaces for ultimate comfort.

    According to Rob Buehl, CEO of TVLiftCabinet.com, one of the best furnishings you can select for this type of design style is a TV Lift Cabinet. “Many people are asking us how we can help them achieve their design dreams. Urban Camouflage design is

  3. Condo time, and the living is easy.

    According to the U.S. Census, more than 20% of the population (roughly 80 million people) choose a condo lifestyle in the United States. I’ve often wondered what the appeal of moving from a private single-family home to a condo might be, but after returning from a recent vacation to a Florida condo in The Keys, I completely understand. Sure, you give up some space, but the benefits of enjoying all the little luxuries that make a home a home were all there, plus a few new ones we hadn’t seen before.

    First – cleaning is a breeze. The flooring, cabinets, furnishings and décor were designed for quick clean-ups. No need to lug around a large vacuum cleaner or spend hours polishing furniture. A quick dusting is all it took to keep things sparkling clean and fresh.

    Second – no outdoor chores. Someone was always trimming trees and shrubs, mowing, cleaning pools, washing windows and more. All I can say is, “where do I sign up?”

    Maximizing space in a condo is easy with smart furnishings. Maximizing space in a condo is easy with smart furnishings.

  4. Top hotel amenities you'd love to have at home...and can!

    It’s official. Peak vacation season is here, and many people will be heading to airports or packing up the van for the annual family vacation. For families staying in hotels along the way, many want to make sure they have a “home” experience wherever they lay their heads each night.

    No worries. These days, hotels redecorate often – sometimes every three years. Many are creating a more contemporary style to traditional settings, making them more comfortable than ever for today’s discriminating consumers. And each year, many hotel trends and amenities find their way into home décor.

    One of the top amenities in top hotels continues to be luxurious bedding. Many hotels, like the Westin, are branding linens so families can be wrapped in softness every day. Feels so good.

    Prism Swivel TV Lift Cabinet Prism is one of the most popular
    models used in boutique hotels.

     

    Other amenities you’ll find are flat screen televisions and TV Lifts. Hotels are getting rid of huge lots of old bulky televisions and the massive armoires that

  5. Creating the perfect bedroom sanctuary

    Vera Wang once said, “My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.” And she’s not the only one. More and more people are spending time, money and energy on turning a place of sweet dreams into a place of relaxation, peace and respite. It’s easier than you think.

    First, make sure your bed is appropriately sized for your bedroom. It is the primary focal point of the room and should have space on either side to help people move freely in the space. A tented or canopy bed is a bit more luxurious than one with a wooden or upholstered headboard. For those who like to read or watch television in bed, soft headboards are just the ticket. Others prefer lots of pillows, hiding functional pillows behind more luxurious shams (or under the bed in containers).  Then, it’s a matter of your personal taste when it comes to linens that can help set the mood for the room. For respite, choose solid colors instead

  6. Customize Your Cabinetry in Style

    Harbor - Antique White

    “Have it your way.” isn’t just a popular tagline for a fast food company, it’s become a way of life for millions of people who want and expect the ability to customize every aspect of their home. According to Jeff Hallett, author of Megatrends, “the power has shifted from the producer to the consumer. Over the last 20 years, what’s been happening is that the consuming public has been getting smarter and smarter.”

    And smart consumers demand more choice. Baby boomers, and the up-and-coming generations, are savvy, confident consumers who want what they want – especially when it comes to picking out home furnishings. Rob Buehl, CEO of TVLiftCabinets.com, says when he started his company, he wanted to make sure every customer could choose exactly what they want – every time.

    “Size, style, finish – everything is customizable. Your vision. Your design. Whatever you want, our in-house designer will create exactly what you want,” says Buehl. “We’ll even send a color rendering

  7. Feeling at home on the range...

    Crystal Pointe TV Lift Cabinet

    Thoreau once said, “in wildness is the preservation of the world,” and millions of people head for the wide open spaces each year seeking wilderness, beauty and family time. But for many people, going to the wild and “living” wild are two very different things. According to Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), there are nearly nine million RVs on the road.

    The RVIA says that many of today’s campers expect deluxe amenities, both inside and outside. Many expect a resort-like experience when they stop, with tennis courts, swimming pools and golf nearby. Architects who design log cabins are also seeing an increase in demand for deluxe amenities in family-owned rustic cabins.

    After spending the day hiking, fishing or exploring the great outdoors, people want to return to modern amenities, like full kitchens that include microwaves and living rooms that have modern electronics and full-size, flat-screen television sets.

    Many people, especially those

  9. A few tips for taking your flat screen television on the road



    Banyan Creek
    More and more people are joining the RV movement and traveling the country. According to U.S. News & World Reports, sales of recreational vehicles have increased in recent years as the economy improves. One factor that may be helping to boost sales is the bubble of baby boomers moving into retirement. According to figures from RVIA, the average RV owner is late-middle-aged, but still younger than baby boomers (around 48 years old). They’re also looking for nicer models and a better lifestyle than the typical weekend camping crowd.
    TVLiftCabinet recently received a review from John Dreese, who lives full-time in his RV with his wife. In trying to make their RV as homey as possible and make the best use of limited space, they turned to a TVLiftCabinet. “With space limited, having a large screen TV covering a window all the time wasn’t convenient,” said John. “It was easy to install, securely holds the TV in its retracted cabinet – even when bouncing down some rough roads.”

  10. Think a television lift is only for the wealthy? Think again.



    More than 95% of U.S. households have at least one television set – and more than 50% are flat screen televisions (2013 data). People are investing thousands of dollars in the latest television technologies each year, yet only a few people invest in a quality cabinet to display their investments, thinking that television lift systems are too expensive, too hard to put together or just plain out of their reach.
    Yet – displaying those televisions in style is not only within reach, but could be just what you need to add storage and space to your home – and help you protect your technology investment from little fingers, dust and faulty wall brackets. Some of the latest flatscreen televisions weight more than 80 pounds, so securing them to a wall may not be the best option to ensure the safety of people in your home.
    TVLiftCabinet.com has a wide variety of TV lift systems for your home – helping you reflect your personal style. Costs range widely – from $1699 to $3999. Most of the cabinets
