Technology and Real Estate. When I was a kid, I remember my family had custom cabinetry in the corner of our living room to conceal our state-of-the art television set. The TV even sat on a swiveling platform that conveniently rolled out and then back in and behind the cabinet doors.
But alas, gone are the days of accepting or disguising the clunky TV in the living room.
These days, modern home design is informed by technology, not the other way around.
Technology has become so much a part of our everyday lives––phones, tablets, monitors, and more––that its treatment in the home is warranting more attention. Sleeker and more attractive electronics are establishing a new marriage of form and function.
Moreover, smart homes are integrating high tech features in every corner of the home. Automated systems can control the blinds, thermostat, and lights, and even lock your door.
In summary, a co-principal of a NYC design firm says, “product design is so streamlined and visually appealing that consumer electronics are no longer the elephant in the room; they’re often the star. Stylish interiors are enhanced by smart technology, and that’s really having a transformational influence on modern living room design.”
