Plan a Party Around the Big Game

in

Football season is upon us, and so is baseball’s stretch run, which is sure to be full of exciting pennant-race action.

Wood Entertainment Furniture TLC: Care and Maintenance of Your Entertainment Pieces

in

As a material that was once living, wood requires special care. Unlike synthetic materials (plastics) and metals, wood entertainment furniture can experience changes in its moisture content according to the humidity level and temperature in the room. That said, the amount of maintenance is not significantly different from that of furniture made from more static materials—and any extra care is certainly worth the warm beauty of natural wood.

Family Dinner Time: How TV Can Boost the Ties that Bind

in

We’ve all heard the saying, “The family that plays together stays together,” and there’s a mountain of truth in it. Family dinner is one bond that holds true.  That’s because the family that plays, eats, watches TV or otherwise interacts together also talks, shares opinions and viewpoints, laughs as they strengthen their bonds. Children across all demographics whose parents regularly engage them in dialogue are happier, as they receive regular reinforcement that their parents care about and value them.

Or it can simply open up the room more for better flow.

How Lifestyle Influences Choices in Home Entertainment Furniture

in

If you’re of a certain age, you probably have had plenty of memories of lying on top of shag carpet in the family room staring at a television—probably even black-and-white—inside a hefty media console that was probably made from heavy, dark wood.  Every TV was more or less the same, and chances are your parents kept that console around until you were savvy enough to realize it was long outdated.

The Evolution of Home Entertainment Furniture

in

As fashion-conscious as some folks are, the average family is inclined to update its TV more often than the furniture for that TV.  That deep cabinet that housed your old-school tube television, for instance, is of no use to any set you’ll purchase today. But even for the fashion-minded, keeping with the trends in technology goes hand-in-hand with keeping with the trends in décor, thus the evolution from consoles to armoires to the most contemporary mounts.

Adding this feature to your home is a major upgrade, and you want to make sure you do it correctly to ensure everyone’s comfort during—and after—the show.

Entertainment Armoire: It Isn't Just For Large Spaces

in

I’m picky, so I’m told. But rather than getting defensive and asserting that everyone is picky about certain things—or at least they darn well should be—I’ll instead say that sometimes it’s essential to be particular. At times it’s out of our control. Take the time I was shopping for my entertainment armoire, for instance.
