3 Smart Home Solutions for Blending Technology with Design
Who Says Technology and Aesthetics Don’t Mix?
Most homes in the New York Hamptons are well beyond average. Hamptons residents like their homes to be as fashionable as their summer parties. Hamptons residents also like to have the latest and greatest in technology. However, technology products like TVs and audio equipment, with the possible exception of very high-end speakers, are rarely considered paragons of style.
Fear not; you can have your technology and disguise it too. In this blog, we present three smart home solutions for elegantly integrating your tech with your style. And these are just three out of many solutions for deftly incorporating technology solutions with your décor!

THE MANTELMOUNT
Many people like to mount their TV over a focal point like the fireplace. With an elegant flat panel TV like the Samsung Frame, the TV could be a large display for rotating digital art – so there's no need to hide it. But often, an over-the-fireplace installation is not the ideal location for watching as the TV is too high. The solution? The MantelMount offers an easy way to maneuver a large and heavy flat panel TV into a good viewing position. Automotive-grade pistons ease effortless movement, adjustable stops prevent going beyond angles that damage the TV or walls, and patented heat-sensing handles tell you if the fireplace is too hot for lowering the TV. When not in use, the MantelMount lets your TV sit less than 2 inches from the wall for a flush custom look.
CAMOUFLAGE THE SOUNDBAR
Soundbars are a popular add-on for flat-panel TVs for room-filling sound. And Sonos soundbars are among the best in the industry, not only for enhancing TV sound but also for their ability to form part of a whole-home audio system. But the Sonos soundbars, like the new Sonos Arc, may not have a seamless look to match your TV. To the rescue comes the Tonecase FIT from Leon, a maker of elegant solutions for hiding AV technology. The Tonecase accommodates any Sonos soundbar mounted under the TV and camouflages it behind a custom-width grill that makes it look like part of your TV. With designer grill fabrics, you can give your wall-mounted TV a bespoke look that looks right at home. For an even more custom approach, the Edge Media Frame applies a handcrafted frame to your TV and soundbar.
HIDDEN SPEAKERS
For larger spaces, better stereo separation, and superior surround sound, separate speakers are preferred over soundbars. You can hide a complete surround system with in-wall and in-celling speakers. The Sonance Invisible Series offers high sound quality in a slim cabinet that requires less wall depth, and the inset design lets the speaker grill be finished over like the wall. Other Sonance models include flush, paintable grills, high-performance multi-driver cinema speakers, and in-wall subwoofers for sound that you hear and feel but don't see.
