Hidden TV/ Bookcase Idea
Discussion
Hi,
Hoping someone with cabinet/ kitchen fitting experience can help.
My wife saw this on Houzz:

I am trying to work out the best way of achieving the look, I have found Blum aventos HL hinges https://www.hpponline.co.uk/cat/719/blum-aventos-h... that appear to offer the same functionality but am unsure as to the maximum aperture I can expect when the hinge is fully up.
The TV is 600mm by 990mm, so not sure if I will be able to get an opening big enough.
Are there any alternatives tot he Blum hinges? (bigger and hopefully cheaper!)
Anyone have the opinion that this is mental? I think it may be beyond me, but 6 months in to a house refurb am yet to be defeated, am picking up lots of skills and acquiring tools at an alarming rate.
Apart from the size of the door I would need, the weight would be considerable with the fake books. The plan for the tv would be a fully articulated wall mounted bracket to use when being viewed.
All comments/ mocking gratefully received if constructive.
Cheers
Rhys

Can't see the point really, the fake books thing is of no use and a dust trap when hiding the TV, and looks awful when raised.
Just integrate the TV into a bookshelf but mount it on it's bracket on the wall behind, so you can pull/swivel it out.
That is what I am going to do i think,Just integrate the TV into a bookshelf but mount it on it's bracket on the wall behind, so you can pull/swivel it out.
