Hot in 2005 and Promises to Be in 2006: Televisions

The design of televisions has become sleek and attractive, allowing them to look more appealing in a home. Many homeowners design their living rooms and family rooms to accommodate a TV. Read this article to learn how to incorporate a television into your home design.

The Problem with Flat-Panels

The big thing was to get a flat-panel and mount it to the wall. But, framing your TV was just the beginning. You also needed an electrician to wire cable, audio, and power lines into the wall. Then, you had to repaint. In the end, framing can cost thousands, but is it really worth it? After all is said and done, your TV is pretty much stuck there. And, remodeling the room around a television can be uncomfortable.

Flat Panel Solutions

Rather than frames, many home designers are now recommending furniture designed for flat-panels. Entertainment centers have come a long way in the last few years. German company AudiaV created a shelving unit with removable platforms, and a futuristic vibration-control lead composite material. Another company, Sanus, has an A/V platform that comes standard with a built in cooling unit and shelves that are 22 inches deep.
