Member Spotlight: Bright Home Theater and Audio of New York

Home Theater by Bright Home Theater and Audio of NY

With the winter chill in the air, we're coming up on the season when New Yorkers tend to spend more time around the house watching television. We're also getting to that time of year where we do more home entertaining and of course, that glorious overlap of the NFL and NBA (The Knicks actually won the home opener this year!). There's no better time than now to install your home theater and we know just the guys to do it.

Bright Home Theater and Audio has been selling and installing high end audio and video systems for homeowners in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut since 2003. They are based on Avenue A in the East Village, are fully insured, and have certifications for this work from the HAA, ISF, and RTI.

Whether you have guests over on game day and want to mount and install a flat screen TV, company coming for the holidays and you'd like speakers throughout the house for the party, or you just want to watch your favorite shows in style, this would be a great time to get a consultation. Bright Home Theater and Audio do all the designing, building and installation work themselves and they are happy to answer any questions you may have; just call and ask for Kerry Bright or David DuPuy or send them an email through our site.

NY Home Improvement Blog Patrol

One of the toughest styles to pull off in home decor is the eclectic look. Sometimes its more about what you don't throw into the mix as opposed to trying to cover several design genres at once by cluttering a room with modern, antique, pop art and country items. When its done correctly (think Frasier Crane's apartment minus Dad's duct-taped Lazy Boy), the results can be exciting. Rochester, New York's Democrat & Chronicle has a great example and explanation of how a local NY interior designer named Blynn Nelson pulled it off in her own 1898 colonial house.

One of our favorite design blogs, An Aesthete's Lament, sheds light on some of the uglier historical movements in home design, including a misguided attempt by designers to use slavery-era plantations as architectural inspiration and some truly ugly adjectives which have been used to describe color shades of fabrics and furniture.
Racism in Interior Design

If your living room isn't large enough for a full-blown wall unit, or you are setting up your entertainment and music stuff in a basement, bedroom or den, you can mount the TV on the wall or go with a media stand. But alas, not all media stands are created equal. Before you bring in the NY home theater pro (who will usually recommend wall-mounting a flat screen), consider some of these media stands shown at Apartment Therapy.
