Stop that television being the focal point of your room
- by admin - 
The falling costs of flat screen tv’s has resulted in bigger screens for most homes. The most common location for these to be placed, estimated at 75%, is above the fireplace in the central room of the house. The increase in size both women and designers have been having serious issues with a 50-70? black glass object as the centrepiece and main point of the living room.
In theory it is simply a visual or mechanical change when the TV is hidden away, to many it changes the entire atmosphere of any room. Even when the display is turned off, attention is either consciously or unconsciously drawn towards the blank television screen. This is not simply a figment of peoples imaginations, it is very real, and it can have a direct effect on both the decoration and atmosphere of the room.
Concealment devices are essentially custom made furniture. Due to both TV sizes and room plans there is not one solution that works for everyone, hence why such systems often cost more than the TV itself. The justification is that the time, money and creative effort spent in making the room look good is not masked by trying to make a 50″ piece of black glass blend non-existently into the room decor.
If you were to do some some detailed market research you would find there is a gap in the market for television stands which fit this criteria. There are a number of different ways to get around this problem. All with certain pros and cons. The widely used option is usually a plasma television lift.
A television lift effectively combines both an item of furniture and a TV stand. It gives the user the ability to swap between viewing a piece of everyday furniture or viewing the tv. This is operated using a remote controlled lifting mechanism which is fitted inside the furniture. When activated this mechanism will trigger a steel lift to move which then will cause the television to gently rise from the furniture and effectively turn it into a television stand.
This solution effectively solves all the problems bought to attention by a home designer. The rooms look and feel does not have to be compromised, rather modified in a way which cannot be seen. The television no longer has to be in full view unless you require it to be. As well as this there are vast security benefits which mean your television is a lot less likely to be thiefed or broken in the every day russle around your home.
Conclusion
No matter what efforts television manufacturers put into their aesthetic design, they do not solve the problem of having a large blank screen take over a room when the TV is off. It comes as no surprise then, that demand for concealment solutions has been doubling every year for a while now.
Through learning about concealment mechanisms, professionals such as www.tdkjoinery.co.uk can offer the home owner a solution allows a large TV to be hidden within the decor using TV lifts, while maintaining the visual design of the room. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
