The humble home den is shaking off its outdated image and getting a modern makeover in 2025!
Multi-purpose and ideal for all the family, the home den is a retro staple that in recent years has fallen out of favor. But the space is finally undergoing a much-needed update with many homeowners coming to realize how useful – and desirable- a home den can actually be for our busy, modern lives.
Unlike the lounge, office or kitchen, a den or family room can be endlessly versatile. If two people share a work from home office, it can provide a breakout space for privacy or a quiet room to take an important call.
It can act as a library, be a space to practice arts and crafts, to listen to music or even take an online Pilates or yoga class.
It’s also a space where the whole family can come together to play board games or watch a movie, or where the kids can hang out when they have friends over.
If you’re planning a revamp to bring your den up to date in 2025, you might be considering new features to ensure you get the most from the space. With that in mind, should a TV lift cabinet be on your shopping list?
Let’s take a look at how a hidden TV lift cabinet could benefit your den or family room.
The modern den is a multi-purpose space. It’s used by the whole family for a wide range of different hobbies and interests, from crafting to wellness, reading to music. Busy spaces like this can easily become cluttered and disorganized, creating a sense of overwhelm rather than relaxation.
A TV lift cabinet is a smart storage solution which can help your room appear neat and tidy, despite its multi-purpose nature. By concealing the TV and associated accessories such as the TV remote controls, games consoles and other media boxes within the cabinet, the space looks visually less ‘busy’. This is especially important if your family room is smaller, as more petite spaces can quickly become messy.
A hidden TV lift cabinet isn’t just a functional item to store your TV. The right design can also enhance your home’s interior and add visual appeal to the room. Our Chateau motorized TV stand for example, is brimming with elegance and designer-inspired touches. With inspiration taken from majestic country homes in France, the curved cabinetry, beautiful, clawed feet, and contrasting detailing adds instant grandeur to the room and can be a focal point in what may otherwise be a fairly plain and functional space.
A contemporary design, such as our Atlantis custom modern TV lift cabinet can have a similar impact. With its stylish oval shape and contemporary finish, it can add a modern and polished feel to your family room, ensuring it works in harmony with the rest of your home.
From a practical perspective, a TV lift cabinet can also keep your TV safe from damage. The den is likely a high-traffic space, with kids, pets and adults in and out. If it’s often used for entertaining, for the children to hang out with friends or for hobbies to be practiced, it’s important that it’s secured safely and out of harm’s way.
By lowering the TV into the cabinet body when it’s not in use, you can be sure that it won’t fall victim to spillage or accidental damage. You’ll also have peace of mind that cables are tucked away and out of reach of pets and youngsters, so there’s no risk of trips or falls.
By nature, a den is intended to be multi-purpose but this can mean the room lacks functionality, because it’s used for so many different things. Adding a TV lift cabinet adds structure and usefulness, so your room can truly be enjoyed by every member of the household.
The TV can be powered up to stream an on-demand fitness class for example, allowing for a convenient at-home workout. If you have a smart TV, it could also be used for work presentations, or to participate in video calls. This is especially useful if more than one person works from home on occasion – having two competing calls going in the home office can be counter-productive but with a TV in your den, any calendar clashes can be easily resolved by one person relocating and using the big screen TV to Zoom or Google Meet instead.
Both our traditional and modern TV lift cabinet designs are powered by the very latest TV lift technology. Being able to seamlessly power up your TV and lower on demand is a modern, desirable addition to any space. If you frequently welcome guests to your home, adding this kind of home technology into your room can enhance the overall experience, and set your house apart for its use of smart home technology.
If the whole family regularly piles onto the sofa for movie night, a motorized cabinet is an easy way to effortlessly elevate your home cinema experience. Pair the telescoping TV lift with our optional 360-degree swivel and you can create a custom viewing angle to ensure everyone gets to enjoy the best seat in the house. The swivel allows you to move your big screen with ease, so you can tilt or turn it to give a better view, in line with your preferences and location within the room.
If you’re keen to overhaul your den and create a modern yet highly functional room that everyone in the house can enjoy, we’re here to help. Our cabinets are custom made with endless personalization options to ensure your new designer-inspired furniture fits your room and meets your needs exactly.
