Having a dedicated room for your computer and peripherals is never a bad idea. Sure, that laptop is convenient for on-the-go computing, but nothing beats a desktop machine when it comes to comfort and productivity. In a home office, you can settle into a big leather chair, spread out your work on a clean, flat surface and close the door for privacy. Technology has made it possible to also play video games, listen to music, watch movies and manage your house—all from the same PC… View this story

Master bedrooms have gone through some major growing pains.

The design of a home theater varies, from a room that doubles as a den to a huge dark space that holds only a video screen and a row of reclining chairs. Likewise, movies can be presented on the 50-inch screen of a rear-projection TV set, or on an eye-popping 100-inch screen that hangs from the ceiling. Speakers that project the dialogue and sound effects can come in the form of huge towers, or sit discreetly within the walls of the room. No matter how… View this story
