Multi-purpose Rooms
Some homeowners prefer to keep their media rooms as multi-purpose living areas. You can now do this easier than ever with the evolution of hidden technology. Hide your television or projector screen with the push of a button to level up the room’s interior design when entertaining guests.
Another option is to purchase a TV that turns into artwork, like Samsung’s Frame TV. Customizing panels that hide the TV or purchasing a model that disappears into a cabinet are additional options. You may also opt for architectural speakers that can be matched to your wall or ceiling, making them nearly invisible after installation.
Lighting Control
Add ambiance and depth to your media room experiences with personalized lighting control. With a Control4 smart home system, you can program scenes to automate lighting changes based on the time of day or activity. For instance, if you’re watching a movie, you may want the lights to dim. When listening to jazz music, you may prefer a warmer-toned lighting color. Control4 makes these customizations a breeze, and you can easily control these features through a keypad, remote, tablet, or smartphone app.
Motorized Shades
If your media room has windows, consider installing motorized shades. Using intelligent automation, motorized shades make quick work of adjusting the room’s brightness when you’re preparing for an entertainment activity. They also help minimize the potential disruption caused by the sun’s glare sneaking into the room. If the sun becomes a nuisance, press a button to close the shades quickly without even leaving the couch.
