Bedroom Electronics: The Home Decorations of the Future

In the 1930’s and 1940’s, the only electronic entertainment devices in most homes were radios and the occasional record player or old phonograph machine. However, in the 1960’s, the television began to enter the home, and furnishings centered around the ability to sit comfortably and have a good view of the screen. As time passed, the record player was replaced first by tape players and then by CD players. During the same period, the television began to increase in size, and VCR’s, a few laser disc players, and eventually DVD players (and now even the blue-ray disc player) were added to the collection. That doesn’t even begin to discuss the advancement in stereo systems, the many available game systems, or computers.

With the influx of electronics into the home environment and their movement into the centerpiece of home décor, it has become essential that people conform to this standard. This is happening in several ways. First, it is a race for everyone to “keep up with the Joneses”, always having the latest and greatest electronic equipment. Second, in installing that equipment, it is vital to have a showcase for it that is appealing to the senses. Third, the surroundings must befit the awe inspiring vision of the electronic centers in a home. How can all of this be accomplished?

Home decorations are now geared toward enhancing the media centers in the house. No longer do you have a simple TV stand or entertainment center. Flat panel televisions hang on walls and open up space in your environment, allowing you to include more furniture and a greater number of electronic devices into a smaller area. In fact, with TV’s the size of small theater screens and projector televisions with retractable screens now available, many people are building their own home theater, complete with stadium or elevated seating and remote control dimmable lights (another invention of the electronic age).

Electronic devices aren’t stored on boring shelving units but added to architecturally pleasing entertainment units with all sorts of asymmetric designs that add a modern flavor to home décor. Most importantly, living room, den, and recreation room furniture has been modified so that it is easier to center around the big screen TV with the amplifier and the booming surround sound speakers. More units are sectional, making them easier to move around and rearrange, and much of the furniture is either minimalistic so as not to distract attention from the electronics or large and plush for better enjoyment of the entertainment center.

Whichever design strategy is chosen, it is quite likely a mixture between personal preference and taste with the need to showcase expensive electronic devices. As the trend continues, the devices themselves are even taking on architecturally pleasing design aspects that will be the talk of the town. Streamlined speaks, wireless connections, and the ability to run everything from a computer will only add to the fascination with and penchant for electronics to be the number one decorative item in a household.
