Hidden Speakers

When designing any space — be it a media room, bedroom, living room or anything else — speaker placement can present a challenge.

How do you design a room precisely to your vision and incorporate speakers in addition to it? What do you do if the speakers clash with the aesthetic of the rest of the room?

Consider hidden speakers.

With hidden speaker technology, the speakers are built into the walls or ceiling and sit flush with the surrounding wall or ceiling surface.

Because they are built into the borders of the room, rather than standing as an object taking up floor space, sound can navigate the room easily without sacrificing sound quality or room-design.

Hidden speaker technology is just one of the trends in smart home design that you can incorporate into your next project.

Lighting Design

Incorporate lighting control to create the ambiance that the homeowner desires in every room.

With smart lighting and shading, interior designers can stage every room with the perfect ambiance for every time and occasion – then save those settings so that homeowners can recreate the staged look at the press of a button.

Task, ambient, and accent lighting fixtures are all connected to one smart control system that dims or brighten the fixtures individually upon demand.

Hidden TVs

Conceal home entertainment equipment like TVs by utilizing motorized lifts or hiding them behind a piece of artwork.
