Hidden Kitchen Systems: AV and Communications
Telephones, Audio Video, Cable and Internet in Your Kitchen
In our information-driven environment kitchens are becoming a central point for many new communication and entertainment systems. You should plan on installing lines for additional phones, cable TV, Internet access and audio and video. A television is a common kitchen appliance these days and you’ll want to at least install speakers above your cabinets or in your ceilings for music while working, relaxing or entertaining. The time to do it is now.
We’re seeing more computers in kitchens, particularly as recipes and cookbooks work well as multimedia productions. You can find a Julia Child recipe on the web and check availability of exotic ingredients at your supermarket via the Internet. E-mail, IM and chat exchanges with family members and homework in the kitchen are all functions of kitchen computers too. Plan a spot and a dedicated phone line for these new kitchen resources.
