A Centralized Network

A strong network can transform the easiness of smart home control in any house.  With one centralized network, homeowners can access every component of their system from one source.  Their main issue is they don’t want a cluttered space – excess wiring, obtrusive routers, and additional equipment.  And the truth is, neither do you.

Luckily, to maintain the aesthetic both of you are going for, there are now routers that are small and stylishly designed.  You can now display equipment in sight to maintain a powerful network connection, as opposed to shuffling them off into a storage area.

Automated Blinds and Shades

Motorized shades have endless benefits, but besides their obvious efficiency and everyday uses, they can also greatly enhance existing décor.  These days, shades and blinds come in various patterns, styles, and designs.  You can choose between honeycomb shades, blackout or brightly colored – or pick dual shading, so there is no compromise needed.  Shades are a must in any smart home design, as they insulate the house, control light, and add the right elegant touch to any room.

Multipurpose Media

An entertainment center in the home is where everyone gathers together at once.  Whether it’s in a media room or private home theater, you can effectively design a space to be both for entertainment and everyday use.  

4K projectors or screens that reject ambient light means they can be placed in a room that’s still well-lit.  By putting in hidden speakers and projectors that hide when not in use, homeowners can now use the room for other activities.  You can help design their perfect home cinema or media room with flair and comfort – and the ability to make it anything they want it to be, depending on their mood.

Smart home design doesn’t have to be complicated; you can easily integrate it into any home without compromising on style.  To learn more, contact us at (305) 945-1230 or online through our contact page or the form below:
