NUL[EXTRACT]Home electronics provide entertainment and convenience to the home. Whether you’re looking to purchase a laptop or a Blu-ray player, you’ll want to consider size, quality and types available before making a purchase.

What types of home electronics are available? From waterproof televisions to iPod speakers to turntables, there are many options for home electronic technology. To set up your media center, consider the basic media components: A television, audio and speaker equipment, and DVD player. Or if your entertainment center is a priority, build out a surround sound home theater system to enhance your TV and DVD viewing experience.

What size should your home electronics equipment be? Consider placement and storage: Do you have space for standing speakers or will they crowd your living room? Is there space in your TV or media storage stand to hide a video game console? Think about your vision for your living room, and what furniture will appropriately house all your components.

What styles of home electronics are available? Home electronic equipment can range from basic in function to trendy and flashy with cutting-edge technological features. If you want your television to blend in with its surroundings, choose a minimal and mountable flat screen that looks like artwork when turned off. If you’re looking to add speakers and a hint of retro to your family room, seek out an iPod player or stereo with a vintage design. Electronics and technology for the home are innovating and changing, so invest in a good quality, user-friendly home electronic, and that complements your overall design scheme.

What should you consider when purchasing home electronics? Home electronics are usually not a cheap investment, so be sure to do your research by reading consumer reviews. Decide on which on products are trustworthy and user friendly, and read the fine print on warranties to make sure you’re backed if anything goes wrong.

Book Friday: Jamie Durie’s Outdoor Room - Home Design with Kevin Sharkey

It was such a pleasure to have Jamie Durie as a guest on my radio show recently. I admire his design aesthetic, which references the artistic and sculptural influences of Gaudí, Richard Serra, and Andy Goldsworthy, as you'll notice in the images below. Jamie Durie's The Outdoor Room is an informative book for gardeners and designers who love the outdoors. Take a peek inside the book.

Drawers can hold lingerie or belts; a pull-out tray above holds small purses and scarves.

Upgrade an existing closet by installing a ready-made system that incorporates a combination of shelves, drawers, and rods.

With a desk, bulletin board, and coat of paint, you can turn a nook in the kitchen into a functional workspace. I love the idea of adding a fabric shade for instant visual calm.

Book Friday: Pools - Home Design with Kevin Sharkey

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Pools, a book of images celebrating the azure beauty and design of pools of all sizes and locales, was first published in 1992. Fifteen years later, Kelly Klein released a second edition of the coffee-table tome. For her seventh book, she revisited a topic she loves: Swimming pools around the world. Pools: Reflections is being released in October. Her first book used vintage images of lush blue pools, and Pools: Reflections will cover the 1970s onward. She asked photographer for their favorite photos and narrowed the pool of pools down to her favorites. The first three pools are a preview of her upcoming book, while the last two are some of my favorites from my copy of Pools.

Book Friday: Sea - Home Design with Kevin Sharkey

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping for some Easter presents for Jude and Truman at one of my favorite children's shop called Yoya. If you look on page 46 of the May issue of Living, you will find a profile on the shop's proprietor Cristina Villegas. While I was at the shop, I came across one of the most beautiful books that I have seen in a long time—Sea by Mark Laita. I urge everyone to get this book. The images are amazing and inspiring beyond measure. Take a look, below.
