If you work from home either some or part of the time, you’ll likely spend the biggest chunk of your day in your home office. This is a space where you need to be comfortable while also remaining productive, efficient and in work-mode.

Decorating your home office is a fun – and necessary – chore. It’s a space that you’ll need to feel totally at home in, so that you can get on with the important tasks at hand each day. So, should you add a pop up TV lift cabinet to your home office? We may be biased, but we – and many of our clients – answer with a resounding yes to this question. Here’s why…

It can help you to stay focused and productive

Distractions are the enemy of every remote or hybrid worker. Even though it’s now commonplace to work at least a few days of the week away from the office, it can be challenging to get into the rhythm of work when at home.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 35% of the American workforce spends some or all of their working week working from home. That means more and more of us are faced with the challenge of maintaining ‘work mode’ when we haven’t yet left the house.

Installing a TV lift cabinet in your home office can help you to stay focused when you need to knuckle down and get your to do list in order. That’s because you can easily lower your TV out of sight into the cabinet body on demand. With no distractions and your big screen stored away, you’re free to focus on your deadlines, calls and other tasks.

Conveniently, when you’re working on something where a little background noise would be welcome, you can power up the TV lift and bring your TV quickly into view. Whether you want to listen to the news, have a sports game or music channel playing in the background as you work, it’s easily accomplished with one click of the included remote.

It’s a very efficient use of space – especially if you’re limited on square footage

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the average home office spans 70 – 150 square feet. That is typically smaller than the standard commercial office space. The average North American office provides150-175 square feet per employee on average. Smaller spaces can quickly look cluttered and unprofessional, hampering focus and productivity.

A practical, functional TV lift cabinet – in a choice of modern or traditional designs – offers a smart way to make the most efficient use of your space. It provides sleek, multi-purpose storage for your TV, associated cables and other media boxes such as TV console or sound bar. The sleek, uniform cabinetry helps to keep your space looking tidy while also maximizing the square footage on offer.

Use your big screen for video calls

If your workday calls for video calls for Zoom or Teams, you can use your smart TV as your big screen, making for a more convenient experience. This is especially helpful if you frequently have video conference calls with two or more people and want to be able to see everyone clearly.

If your firm uses video conferencing for sharing presentations and other materials that you need to see in clearer detail to discuss and feed back on, using your big screen TV rather than smaller computer screen makes for a much clearer visual image.

Depending on where you position your cabinet relative to your desk, you could even turn your large TV screen into a second computer monitor if needed.

Enhance your office aesthetics with a custom design

For many of us, our environment can really impact how we think, feel and act. To ensure you’re in the optimal frame of mind for work, creating a home office that is aligned with your tastes is critical. From the paint on the wall to the choice of artwork, how you decorate your dedicated working space can differentiate or integrate with the rest of the house.

Our custom TV lift cabinets are built to your specifications. We have over 90 indoor TV lift designs to choose from, and each can be customized to suit your home office. From selecting your required dimensions to make the maximum use of available floor space, to choosing your preferred wood, color combinations, hardware, and finish, it’s easy to get the exact aesthetic you’re looking for, without having to compromise on your desired look.

What’s more, you can also select where you want to position your cabinet so that it functions exactly as you want. The options here are endless too, whether that’s under the window, by the wall or even floating in the center of the room opposite your desk.
