matter of necessity. Advancements in power and
capacity of battery systems means high-tech
furnishings can be arranged as desired, they do
not have to be tethered to a wall outlet.
Adapting a home to technology may
involve cables, cords and controllers. The
furniture industry has risen to the challenge
of concealing unsightly tangles of wires with
built-in charging stations. You can even find
coffee tables that convert to digital screens
and office chairs that automatically adjust
themselves to your posture.
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Televisions, too, are disappearing—many
media cabinets incorporate a lift design,
with the TV rising from the top of the
piece. Crafted to match any décor, they
can be found in most any room, including
the bedroom as part of the footboard.
TRULY REMOTE CONTROL
Where remote controls once powered
only televisions, they now operate
myriad home technology and décor
items, from candles to curtains. But
even those handy devices are falling by the wayside, replaced
with the ubiquitous smart phone app. Imagine controlling your window coverings
from the palm of your hand—from anywhere. A home can appear fully occupied
when it is actually vacant, via programmable apps.
HOW TO GO HIGH-TECH
An Interior Designer can be a valuable asset in planning a high-tech home. With
access to the latest furnishings and fixtures, the designer can help directly with
choices, or can recommend professionals in their network with specific expertise.

a range of home technologies
that can be controlled through
apps right on your phone. From
your thermostat to you window
treatments, you don’t even
have to worry about losing a
remote again. (RIGHT) High-tech
performance fabrics, such as those
from Crypton® Home Fabric, make
clean-up easier with built-in stain
repellency and soil release.
