What Do I Need For A Custom Entertainment Built-in?

As our lives get busier, coming home and relaxing and unwinding is not just a luxury but almost necessary to continue functioning in this hectic modern world.

Custom entertainment centres are one of the best ways to create the focus in your living room or den. Here are some helpful hints to keep in mind when creating a custom entertainment centre.

Design your centre so that your seating is arranged to achieve the best possible view. There’s nothing worst than wanting to watch something with friends and family and not having enough seating for everyone. Depending on the location, whether it’s a formal setting or a rec room, also consider what time of seating you want to have. If you’re using soft couches that you sort of sink into, you might want to consider how high your TV is located.

Consider where your electronics are going and how to hide the wires necessary. One of the best manners to protect your electronic devices is utilising a surge protector. They may seem unnecessary but your valuable electronics can be fried very quickly and unnecessarily when you have the proper protection.

Lighting is paramount. You don’t want a spot light on your TV since it will create a glare. We have been using LED successfully for quite a few years now. It’s amazing how much your display on either side of your TV really pop and make the entire unit so much more impressive. Don’t forget to have a proper transformer size for your LED’s otherwise their lifespan will be compromised.

One of the reasons you hire an experienced designer is the fact that they know how to make everything look perfect as if it had always been in your home. Entertainment units are meant to house all or most of your electronics and their peripherals. Consider doors to hide some of the clutter so you achieve a clean look.

We have been using a decorative mesh manufacturer for a few years. Not only is it satisfying that we’re using a Canadian supplier but they have a large selection of styles available almost immediately. This is a great way to hide those electronics and still be able to use your remote controls while adding a bit of a designer touch!

One of the things that most of our clients usually forget but our designers never forget is incorporating all of the client’s various electronic peripherals. Speakers are what make your system pop so it’s best not to forget them. Make sure you have the proper placement of your speakers so you get the maximum performance. As well, our designers will make sure that the speakers don’t endanger the proper design of your entertainment unit. Nothing worst that seeing speakers everywhere since they could’ve been hidden.
