One of the most frustrating parts of decorating a room is hiding the audio / visual components of a home theater system. The good news is that new modern furniture pieces can not only hide them but also allow the remote control to work when hidden.

TV Lift Cabinets are perfect for hiding LCD, Plasma, and LED flat panel TV’s through an ingenious design that lifts the television from a hidden cavity in the back of the unit. The front of most units also contain ample storage for receivers, DVD and Blu-Ray players, CD Changers, and even speakers.

What good are hidden components if you can’t use the remote or need to have cabinets open to operate them properly? The solution is the built in infrared relay system that has an inconspicuous IR receiver on the front of the furniture and IR flashers built into all drawers and cabinets that allow your remote control to work flawlessly. One of my favorite features of these cabinets is that you can set it to automatically retract when the TV’s power is turned off. This means you can set the sleep timer at night and when the TV turns off it quickly retracts back into the TV cabinet.

TV Lift Cabinets are a perfect example of modern furniture that has form meeting function. You can achieve a clean look in any room and not sacrifice the entertainment qualities of a great home theater system.

Watching Television is not one of my main forms of enjoyment but when I do watch I’m amazed at how much modern furniture, specifically MCM Furniture (mid-century modern furniture) I see. Perhaps it is kind of like buying a car you think no one has but once you buy it you see it everywhere because you are paying attention. The Aluminum Group Management Chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames is one of those chairs. It is amazing to me that this chair was designed in 1958, over 52 years ago, and is still the “go to” chair for Talk Shows, News Anchors, movies, boardrooms and home offices. To name a couple, the Colbert Report has two Eames Aluminum Group chairs in the interview area that are seen almost every show and Brian Williams sits in one every evening for NBC Nightly News.

Lucky for us the Eames Aluminum Group Management Chair was designed so long ago it can now be purchased in a reproduction that is nearly identical to the original but at a fraction of the price. While some reproductions sacrifice quality for price (vinyl instead of real leather among other sacrifices) there is a reproduction that still holds true to the original quality and attention to detail that this chair deserves. That chair is the Management Chair by Alphaville Design which is made of real leather and is available in a black or white color.

These are just a few of the examples we have found and if you know of or find others please post a comment and/or send us a photo and will post it for everyone to see and we will give you credit or post it anonymously based on your preference. We all work and at EBPeters we all love modern office furniture and the Eames Aluminum Group Management Chair is absolutely one of our favorites that was modern then, is modern now, and is sure to be modern another half century from now and beyond.

Our new collection of over 25 different styles of wall clocks is a vast departure from the ordinary wall clock.  Exhibiting exciting and eye-catching shapes and constructed of numerous materials, these wall clocks are sure to add a modern touch to your home or office.

Clocks are in office, homes, and many other places including smaller ones on the wrist.  Ever since the invention of the mechanical clock in the 13th century clocks have taken on many forms, shapes, and sizes and the wall clock is the perfect accessory to add a modern touch to a traditional living or office space or to continue the modern theme in a contemporary living or office space.

George Nelson produced some of the twentieth century’s most highly regarded pieces of industrial furniture and many of our new line of wall clocks are based on his pioneering modern designs. His sometimes ferocious defense of the modernist principles and belief that the work of a designer should be to better the world attract us to wall clock designs based on his principals.

We hope you find our new collection of modern wall clocks exciting and useful and we would love to hear how you use modern wall clocks in your own living or work space.

Here are a few examples and by clicking on any photo you will be taken to the entire collection:

Choosing certain kinds of modern furniture pieces will affect the image of your room in a most significant way.  You can show off your creativity with modern furniture selections from EBPeters.  Everything about the size, color, patterns and styles that you choose can showcase your creativity.

Carefully choosing the right sized modern furniture pieces for your room can really add to and compliment your room.  Choosing a disproportionately sized modern furniture pieces can make the whole room look worse, even if it is trendy and stylish.  Always keep the size and scale of your room at the forefront of your mind when choosing modern furniture pieces.  If your room has cathedral type ceilings, look for modern furniture pieces that are tall and towering upwards so that you can keep the room in balance, while small sized space saving modern furniture pieces will make a room with tall ceilings look cavernous and empty.  Keep in mind also that small rooms with large over sized modern furniture pieces can make your room look like a cluttered closet.

When attempting to show off your creativity with modern furniture pieces remember that the colors, patterns and textures you choose will also play an important factor in creating the image you want your room to give.  Using wall paper can make your room look smaller or larger depending on the colors and patterns you choose.  For instance, use a soft one-color or neutral tone wall paper with a very small pattern to make your room appear larger and more spacious.  Using bold, bright contrasting colors with big flashy patterns will shrink the appearance of room size.  It all depends on your creativity and style that you want to showplace.  However you want to express your own sense of style and creativity is the most important deciding factor when choosing modern furniture décor for your home.  Be true to yourself and choose what appeals to you the most.
