3 Ways to Merge Smart Technologies with Design Plans

Bring Smart Home Automation to Your Next Build or Project

Smart home automation isn’t a thing of the future – it’s for the here and now. But as a builder or designer, it can seem a bit daunting to bring it to your latest Charlotte, NC, construction or project.

Not to worry – that’s why our team of experts at the Integrated Home is here to help throughout the whole process. But you might still wonder how you can integrate smart tech seamlessly into your building and design plans without causing disruption.

In this blog, we’ll dive into the various ways smart technologies cannot only merge nicely with existing décor but can also enhance it. Take a look below to learn why your clients will be happy to see smart features blended in with your home’s design choices.

Hidden Audio Video Features

A home entertainment system doesn’t have to take up a room’s space the entire time. When a smart TV isn’t in use, homeowners can easily have an installed wall panel slide over it to display artwork or a mirror instead, adding a flair to the room or making the room look larger.

Another option is to have the TV lower or raise up from the ceiling with just a push of a button, making it easy for everyone to get ready for a movie night or TV show marathon in just a moment’s notice. The room’s interior design can stay intact even when you’re not using your entertainment, which helps multi-purpose your space as a great gathering or hangout spot.

Hidden audio features also prevent the smart tech from intruding on the existing décor. Standing loudspeakers add a theatrical appearance to your space, while cabinet or bookshelf ones can blend in easier without notice. Invisible speakers in the wall or ceiling are key to keeping audio products from interfering with the interior design.

Smart Lighting Design

Lighting control is not only convenient and efficient for homeowners – but it also shapes the overall appearance of a space. So, while lighting fixtures can blend in as wall sconces, they can also add elegance with hanging pendants and fixtures.

Spotlights can also highlight specific artwork and precious valuables that homeowners want on display. These can easily turn on and off with set “scenes” or at the users’ leisure. Lighting can stage a room, illuminate any space, and transform how any area looks.

Dimmed lighting can create ambiance, while brighter spaces can encourage conversation and energize the space. With unobtrusive fixtures, your clients can simply press a button to manage their lighting system.

Motorized Window Treatments

Just like with smart lighting, motorized shades are also more than just a luxury. They also add style and taste to any room. With a variety of fabrics, patterns, and designs to pick from for the shading material, there are endless options you can use to dress up a space.

Keep the interiors you just built or designed safe from sun damage by installing sheer shades that let in light but keep the UV rays from causing any harm. Blackout shades can help homeowners enjoy a movie night in the family room, while dual shading lets them choose which window treatment is right for the occasion. Automated shades are the perfect finishing touch to any part of the home.
