Hidden Technologies Let Great Design Take the Spotlight

Interior design carries intention. Lines, tones, and materials are each carefully selected to create a desired ambiance. The spaces you make speak for themselves without needing explanation.

Technology should support that voice, not interrupt it.

At Home Theater of Long Island, we help designers build homes that look great without all of the tech clutter. Instead, solutions blend seamlessly into the background, giving your clients complete control over their experience.

MORE ON ENTERTAINMENT: Hidden Speakers (and More) Won't Disrupt the Flow of Your Rooms

Audio, Without the Visible Speakers

Audio can emanate from the ceilings and walls, coming through plaster and vanishing into the ceiling thanks to paintable grilles and entirely invisible options that can be dry-walled over. 

Architectural audio like this allows music to fill the room without drawing attention to its source or being an eyesore. We work with speaker systems that adapt to your client's plans, color palettes, and layout constraints. Do you have wood paneling, a curved ceiling detail, or custom millwork? No problem. We tune the sound to suit unique spaces, leaving your perfectly curated aesthetic practically untouched.

Shading Moves with Grace

Motorized shades bring softness and structure into harmony. With concealed tracks and recessed pockets, movement becomes an integral part of the architecture, eliminating pull cords and obnoxious operational noises. 

Shades rise to let light play across surfaces, and drapery opens with purpose. Customizable fabrics and control options complement decor, reinforcing the story already written by the design. 

Displays Disappear When You’re Done

Screens don’t need to dominate a space. In living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and even bathrooms, there’s always a way to keep the technology quiet and out of sight when it’s not being used.

We install displays that lift out of cabinetry, glide into ceilings, or fade into mirror surfaces. Art panels and frames can slide aside on cue to reveal a 4K screen when it’s needed, then return the room to its original character with a simple button tap or voice command.

Control Options Match the Room

Controls can be sleek and sculptural. One keypad handles what five used to do. Lighting scenes, audio zones, and shading adjustments all respond in seconds, making life simpler to manage while feeling more luxurious.

We install interfaces that sit flush with the wall, echo trim colors, and blend into their surroundings. White plastic switch plates are a thing of the past, and each modern detail respects the space, keeping attention where it belongs: on the design!

Collaboration Starts Early

Good design leaves nothing to chance. We partner with designers during early phases to map wiring paths, plan millwork, coordinate device placements, and preserve visual lines. Our team supports you with detailed elevations, technical drawings, and clear communication, enabling you to move confidently through every stage of the project.

We listen closely and stay flexible, plus bring ideas that match the tone of your work and the lifestyle your clients expect.
