With the use of modern day technology, a great design can be made extraordinary. In contrast, without the proper technology foresight, a great design can be made sub par. We have seen both ends of the spectrum. In this post, we discuss several residential technologies that can make or break a home’s design.

Concealment of TVs
Most clients would prefer that TV screens not be seen when not being used. There are several solutions that are available such as motorized panel concealment, art lifts, motorized out of the wall TV concealers, under the bed TV lifts amongst many others. There is no need to leave a TV in plain site when there are other options to conceal.
Flush Mounted Technology
TRUFIG is a flush mounting system for wall accessories like data/phone ports, electrical outlets, dimmers, light switches. With TRUFIG wall accessories almost disappear. They sit flush in the wall. Additionally, TRUFIG offers solutions for other manufacturers such as Crestron in- wall touch screens, RadioRA2 keypads and Lurton home works.
Invisible Speakers 
One of the most common solutions is to make use of flange-less flush mounted speakers. Sonance is a speaker manufacturer that offers a perfect solution for flush mounted speakers. Their architectural series of speakers have been a hit. When the speakers and all accessories have a flange-less look that matches the lighting fixtures, the results are stunning as it follows lighting sight lines.
HVAC Registers
HVAC registers are in most homes and installation is left to HVAC engineers. Most architects and designers think they cannot have an influence on the registers aesthetic. This is not the case. Today HVAC registers are being made flush so they disappear into ceilings or walls.
Crestron Smart Controls
Smart home or home automation technology will help make the walls beautiful. A couple of well-placed touch screens, using TRUFIG, helps eliminate commonly used controls from the walls that are visible. There will no longer be a need for audio keypads, motorized drapery controls, security keypads and thermostats. Functions are combined into one touch screen which is easy to control.
To Sum Things Up
From planning to blue prints, architects and designers are involved in nearly all stages of building construction. A space may have been beautifully designed, but the devil is in the details. Minor flaws add up and can eventually detract from the beauty in a given space.
