apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


An Open Floor Media Room

102308_sz_mediaroom.jpg Like with snowflakes, no one entertainment area looks alike. No matter how many we see, everyone seems to put their own flare on their media centers, despite all having the same items within them -- TVs, DVD players, stereos, and speakers. Here's one we found on the blog Design*Sponge. The home belongs to Toni and Ben Hacker of Hayden-Harnett and is located in Brooklyn, New York. The open floor plan is amazing and those windows are...we want those windows!

With their luxuriously long walls they were able to spread out their living room via book shelves. Their flat screen is mounted on the wall, with vinyl chandelier candelabra decals flanking both sides. An Ikea Expedit bookcase was put on its side to hold all their components, along with some of the hundreds of books they own. More photos after the jump...

Love the whimsical details. They are reflective of the sense of humor that I have seen in the work/products of these two designers.
The stacks of books tell me that they are interested in a variety of topics and keep on searching for answers. The artwork -- particularly the vinyl candelabra-- are so cool (love the drawing above the books as well).
There are other places that a vinyl decal could be used.

Love love love the light and the hardwood floors. An interior design suggestion: try creating a space with a rug underneath the table/couch area. It would create a new "room"/area effect.

The tablecloth is so colorful. I *heart* it.
