Eat-in kitchen - single-wall eat-in kitchen idea in Boston with an undermount sink, white cabinets, granite countertops, white backsplash, stone tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances

Are you considering making your house smart? Good thinking! There are many advantages to having a smart home, but before you dive into buying products, make sure you do your research and have a plan. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what it is you want to achieve. The purpose of a smart home is to make your life simple and easy, but without a plan it can have the opposite effect and become over complicated. Here is a sample layout: Tip 1: First, buy a smart hub like SmartThings or Wink, from there you can go onto their website and see which devices they are compatible with. Tip 2: Brilliant allows SmartThings and Wink to control lights, locks and doors. If you are looking for a smart light switch, this is a great option because you have the option of controlling your devices from your Brilliant app, the switch itself, voice, and for lights there are motion sensors. Added bonus, Alexa is built in! Tip 3: Now that you have Brilliant, see what other devices Brilliant is compatible with. For example, you can create your sound system with Sonos or Bose. For climate you have options like Nest or Honeywell. Tip 4: Want a video doorbell? Get Ring! Right now our Ring integration displays a notification on the Brilliant screen if someone presses the button, or it will display the video feed if you prefer. If you have a smart lock connected (via a hub), you will the option to open the door directly from the notification. Tip 5: Start working room to room. To create a uniform look in the kitchen, why not get all Samsung products? Want an awesome movie room? See how the other devices you already have can integrate with your TV before you start buying new things. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Then, if there is anything extra you need you can go out and buy it!

This home is automated with Control4 home automation. All equipment for video sources and control are located in an upstairs closet.

The outside televisions are on articulating arm brackets so they can sit flush with the center television due to the fireplace wall projecting out an additional 8". All televisions are operated seamlessly with an iPad using the Control4 App. There is also a full in-ceiling surround sound system. Additionally this home is completely automated for all background music, lighting, thermostats, security cameras and security alarm. brian hugghins

Very excited to share what we did on this project. We installed a 75” Samsung Q9 4k TV display with outstanding picture quality, to enhance the quality sound we installed a @sony Receiver for Surround sound. Our client will enjoy high-fidelity sound from this 5.1 channel Surround System. This System is designed to deliver the most sonically impressive architectural Loudspeakers. We also provided audio distribution solution and installed Savant IP Audio 50, featuring built-in amplification, audio distribution, Savant Music streamer for complete audio immersion. We set up a Savant Control System with an elegant Savant remote and intuitive App. The Savant Pro Remote gives our client control of all their entertainment, lighting, climate control, and more. Quickly recall scenes or favorite channels using the built-in voice control. Do you have a question about Savant or home Technology or an upcoming Residential project?

This outdoor media system uses a weather proof Samsung Terrace flat panel. The TV was flush mounted with the hardware recessed into teh wall so you don't see any brackets or wiring. Paired with the TV is wall mounted outdoor speakers and in-ground subwoofer from Origin Acoustics. There is an additional audio zone for the main deck entertaining area. Both media zones can operate independantly or as a single zone. This is great for entertaining kids outside while the parents enjoy music. The outdoor lighting extended from any existing Lutron Radio Ra2 control system. User has a keypad to activate wall sconces, under rail lights, landscape lights, and up lights mounted in the canopy the large oak tree. All systems (TV, audio, lighting, cameras) are controlled from a single app by Elan. Users can use a remote or their phone to operate the TV, lights and audio.

This gray and transitional kitchen remodel bridges the gap between contemporary style and traditional style. The dark gray cabinetry, light gray walls, and white subway tile backsplash make for a beautiful, neutral canvas for the bold teal blue and yellow décor accented throughout the design. Designer Gwen Adair of Cabinet Supreme by Adair did a fabulous job at using grays to create a neutral backdrop to bring out the bright, vibrant colors that the homeowners love so much. This Milwaukee, WI kitchen is the perfect example of Dura Supreme's recent launch of gray paint finishes, it has been interesting to see these new cabinetry colors suddenly flowing across our manufacturing floor, destined for homes around the country. We've already seen an enthusiastic acceptance of these new colors as homeowners started immediately selecting our various shades of gray paints, like this example of “Storm Gray”, for their new homes and remodeling projects! Dura Supreme’s “Storm Gray” is the darkest of our new gray painted finishes (although our current “Graphite” paint finish is a charcoal gray that is almost black). For those that like the popular contrast between light and dark finishes, Storm Gray pairs beautifully with lighter painted and stained finishes.

This large family room off the kitchen is the hub of the home. The 65" Frame TV from Samsung is above the fireplace but scales well with the room. The discrete audio system uses a pair of Monitor Audio R90 bookshelf speakers and 2 in-ceiling rear speakers accompanied by a hidden subwoofer to provide a surround sound experience without the visual distraction of most systems. Everything is controlled using the Control4 SR260 Universal remote or the 10" Touch Panel in the kitchen. For the app fanatics, the Control4 app allows 100% control from any mobile device.
