Entertainment

Televisions have been in kitchens for some time, but they often got in the way because they weren't designed to fit in.

A flat-screen TV, or a monitor that hangs from the underside of a cabinet, takes up hardly any room and requires no special modifications to the construction of a kitchen, except for mounting a cable jack nearby (we suggest installing an outlet that houses two cable jacks, a data/computer jack and a telephone jack).

Complement the TV with speakers planted into the ceiling of the kitchen. Place them in any location where you might need to hear the TV or music such as near the table, the sink, the stove or the computer.
