Interior Design and Home Theater
Luxury homes and audio video do not have to be mutually exclusive. There, I
said it. One of the greatest obstacles in the path to a beautiful home AND
modern technology is closed mindedness. Audio/Video integrators can work hand
in hand with interior designers so that the end user/home owner can have both a
beautifully designed home and the latest technology. Fortunately, manufacturers
of a/v equipment are spending a great amount of energy designing products that
seamlessly integrate into décor without drawing attention to themselves. Some,
like art frames for flat panel TV’s are even covering up technology when it is
not in use!
There are products that completely disappear into the environment.
For example, some manufacturers make speakers that can be textured and painted
over. Imagine how happy a home owner would be with a beautifully faux finished
wall or ceiling that didn’t have to include an ugly speaker grill! There are
also speakers that can be covered with art fabric to look like a painting
instead of a speaker. Whole home automation products can be incorporated to
control lighting scenes that interior designers can use to accent the areas
they want to stand out. Not only does this give the homeowner control of the
lighting and moods, it can be used to control electricity costs as well by
providing remote access to the smart systems of the home.
So, all you interior designers - take heart! There are product that will enhance the lives of your clients without destroying the vision of your project. Give us a call so we can help direct you to those products.
