Insights & Innovations: The Integrated Home Blog

Interior design is an art, and therefore is highly personal. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to style, and the same goes for technology. Some people love showing it off while others would like to hide it. If you are into hiding your whole house audio and video products, then you have come to the right place.

The Integrated Home specializes in blending technology with your Charlotte home décor. In this blog edition, we’ll give you some ideas and show you some fun possibilities when it comes to hidden technology.

Hide TVs in Any Space for Impressive Surprises

Séura is a master at creating TVs that magically appear in a variety of forms. Their Vanishing TV Mirror can be placed anywhere in the house, even in the shower. You can wake up in the morning, walk into your bathroom to get ready and watch the news in the mirror while you brush your teeth. Séura also has a line of outdoor TVs that are weatherproof and built to withstand nature’s elements.

If you find that a TV mirror isn’t your style, TVs can also be placed behind pieces of art or conceal them inside ceilings and walls. The Integrated Home uses motors to move screens in and out of spaces. With just the touch of a button, you can bring out the TV and get ready for an evening movie. Hidden technology is a great option if you want to add to a room, but don’t want the technology to stand out.

With our integration professionals, you can distribute different videos to every screen in the house and not disrupt your interior design in the process.

Simple

Home automation allows you to be able to monitor and manage multiple systems throughout your home, directly from your smartphone or tablet. Control4 allows you to access your home through one easy to use interface that is consistent whether on a phone, in-wall touch panel, or a laptop. With Control 4, your entire home functions together and is accessible from one location. Everyone in the family can turn on the AC, choose a playlist to stream music in any room, or set the home to “away” mode with just a simple press on a touch screen device.

Smart

One of the primary reasons many homeowners decide to add automation to their homes is the enhanced level of comfort that accompanies the upgrade. Remote controlled lighting and shading helps keep your home cool, regulating the amount of sunlight in any room. This not only reduces harsh glare, but helps keep your AC from working overtime. With smart features from Control 4, your entire home becomes a pillar of energy savings and convenience.
