Clever {tech} interior

TV’s can be tough to when balancing form and function in interior design. You want a space that serves it’s required purpose, but perhaps you don’t want said television to be such a huge dominating focal point. Here is a very clever and well executed design by Jim & Phoebe Howard the husband and wife design team that custom crafted this etegere bookcase that effortlessly appears to house the TV as if the television just-so-happened-to-magically-fit-the-cavity…oh whoops, what a welcome accident!

Browse the rest of their design in this Manhattan abode in the pages of House Beautiful for the Designer Visions Showhouse. I love that they based this apartment {on the film} Something’s Gotta Give’s main characters Erica & Harry…. this is the silver screen couple’s “city living” house imagined by the Howard’s that marrys their two different, but harmonius design aesthetics. Bravo!
