Tom Kern is a cabinet maker and expert on custom TV lifts and TV lift cabinets.
Flat screen televisions revolutionized the home decor scene by removing bulky and obtrusive TV sets and replacing them with sleek, low profile screens that fit into much smaller spaces. But now another innovative creation, the TV lift, is taking the relationship of television technology and interior decorating to a whole new level. With TV lifts – which are essentially mechanisms to lower or raise televisions and allow them to be concealed completely from view when not in use – it is possible to totally hide a television while adding extra needed storage and space to a room.
By incorporating TV lifts into a new decorative scheme or strategically adding them to existing designs, the whole television is camouflaged out of sight. When it is time to watch the TV, simply push a button and it magically reappears by remote control, as if rising from thin air out of nowhere.
The possibilities for TV lifts are limited only by the imagination and creative eye of the interior designer, so they can be installed virtually anywhere. Put one inside the foot of the bed, above the kitchen sink, or hidden out of sight within an office or conference room. A lift can even be used on a boat or in a recreational vehicle. Wherever people normally gather around a television, in other words, they can now enjoy the flexibility of having the television unit pop up for viewing and then be quickly and quietly tucked away and returned into hiding with the ease of fingertip touch controls.
