Kitchens
The desire for tech pieces, such as flip-down or integrated TVs, which you can watch while you’re in the kitchen so you don’t miss your favourite show, or touchscreen family computers that work well on kitchen tables, so you can keep an eye on children doing their homework while you’re preparing meals have become pop- ular additions. A smart kitchen also has the ability to hold professionally integrated audio. This can be installed so that users can play music through their existing iPod without any need for wiring or docking stations. Homeowners can hear their favourite song in rich, hi-fi quality instantly through invisible speakers. These types of speak-
ers can be discreetly installed in ceilings and walls, built into units behind grilles to cabi- netry or plastered in completely so they become totally invisible. As we increasingly spend more of our time in
the kitchen, it is also becoming important as a control centre for the home. Control systems allow homeowners to have control over and monitor the entire house through an iPad, iPhone or built-in custom design touch panel. A 3D representation of the whole house can be dis- played in the kitchen and show where music is playing, lights and heating are on, doors and windows are left open and even if there is a fire breaking out.
Living space

area.It is often an open plan space which means that it is a multi-func- tional space – used to watch TV, eat dinner, read a book or entertain a group of people. Typically, the room centres around a TV. The
TV can be fitted to a motorised bracket which allows it to be moved and achieve optimum viewing. For example, if you are cooking in the kitchen but still want to see the TV, the screen can be positioned accordingly. Surround sound audio is preferred when watching a
film.The placement of speakers in rooms is a science and can improve sound
immensely.Generally speakers are situated

As a multi-functional room, lighting scenes can be set to reflect the current
