Crafting the Ideal Cinematic Experience for Your Space

Integrating AV Technology Like an Interior Designer

For some homeowners, every detail in their home has to be just right. Perhaps that becomes even more critical when planning the dream home they've always desired, the one where nothing is a compromise. If you're one of those people designing a new home, whether it's totally new or a down-to-the-studs remodel, your technology must also be well integrated. That's where an "art TV” comes in. What is it? It’s a TV, like the Samsung Frame, which does its best to look like a piece of art when turned off instead of a lifeless black slab on the wall. And while the TV is a wonder of technology hiding in plain sight, some planning is needed to achieve the best results. We explain below. 

Creating the Blueprint for the Perfect Lighting Plan

So you're building your dream retirement or second home in Park City, nestled amidst the serenity of the Wasatch Mountains, reflecting your unique style and preferences. While you've meticulously chosen the design, materials, colors, and finishes, one element can elevate your home's ambiance to another level: lighting. 

Recessed lighting, in particular, isn't just a functional necessity; it's an art, a statement, and a mood-setter. And it's not something you should leave to a standard lighting plan. You can fully customize this critical aspect of your dream home, but you have to plan ahead—ideally, as you finalize your architectural plans. Here's why you should call a recessed lighting installation expert early on your new home journey.

Replace the Inexpensive Cans with Efficient and Flexible LED Downlights

One area that may lack that charm, however, is the lighting. Depending on the age of the home, if it has ceiling downlighting, it's likely to be of the inexpensive "can" variety that you can find at any Utah Home Depot. Even newer homes in just the past ten years often have this lighting, often coupled with somewhat efficient but maddening CFL bulbs. 

However, there is an easy way to replace this older lighting with higher performance, efficient, and long-lasting LED lighting upgrades. Read on below to learn more!
