Abstract
Electronic products have a two-fold role in the house. They provide audio-visual entertainment and other functions to the household members, and they help to constitute the decor of this house.
While retailers and suppliers are very conscious of the first of these roles, attitudes to the second have not been thought out so clearly.
This report analyses attitudes towards both home decor and the purchasing of electronic products, such as televisions, PCs, audio systems, laptops, DVD players and games consoles.
The questions raised include how far home electronics products are integrated into the look of the home.
