Exploring the Human Element in Lighting

Unlike other species, humans are not nocturnal creatures; we need help to see in the dark. Moreover, our eyes change as we age, and the type of lighting we need for everyday life also changes over time. Additionally, light affects human rhythms, profoundly influencing energy, mood, and sleep. All of this means that lighting in a home is very important, and a home's lighting design needs to be intentional. Illumination is more than just picking decorative fixtures or having the right amount of brightness in a space. Let's explore in more detail the human element that should guide lighting design for Vail homes. 

AI Is Nothing New in the Smart Home

With all the talk about artificial intelligence in the past two years, you might think it's a new technology that has only recently sprung upon the world. The reality is that AI is decades in the making, with research dating back to the dawn of the first computers. Even more so, AI has been a core technology underpinning today's smart home automation systems. To some, AI might sound a bit worrisome, but if you think about what it already has enabled—especially in the smart home—you also realize the tremendous potential of the technology to enhance daily life in your Vail mountain home. Let's briefly examine how AI is transforming the smart home.

Discover the Role of Smart Technology in Health and Well-being

In the picturesque mountain setting of Vail, wellness may seem to come easily—just step outside. But despite the splendor of the Colorado mountains and the endless outdoor recreation, the reality is that humans spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. As a result, the environment inside a home has a huge impact on overall health and wellness. As a leading home automation company, Aurum Home Technology believes in the power of smart technology to improve lifestyles, and that extends beyond luxury and convenience to health and wellness. That’s why we leverage Cresron’s advanced solutions to create home environments that promote overall wellness through smart technology. Let’s explore how below. 

Experience a High-Fidelity Sound System Fully Heard but Unseen

Today’s home sound systems can take many shapes and forms. From popular all-in-one connected speakers to large floor-standing loudspeakers with equally large amplifiers, there are many ways to experience different levels of audio performance. When it comes to audiophile-level sound, many might think you need large speakers and bulky subwoofers to achieve that performance echelon, but that doesn't have to be the case. A case in point is Wisdom Audio’s Sage Series L75i, a loudspeaker that files neatly into walls but delivers aural performances equal to their freestanding counterparts. Let’s explore the Sage Series L75i in more detail to see how they can outfit your Vail, CO media, or listening room. 

How Lighting Can Complement and Enhance Your Lifestyle 

Lighting is a functional feature of every home. But just like the spectrum between basic food for sustenance and elevated culinary experiences like Sweet Basil in Vail, lighting design can transcend mere function and bring all the beauty of light to your interiors, meshing with the natural splendor of the Rocky Mountain surroundings. Ketra, part of Lutron’s smart lighting solutions, is a system lighting designers use to create light that invigorates, inspires, and intensifies your experiences at home. Let’s take a closer look at how Ketra redefines home illumination.

How Aurum Creates Elevated Listening Experiences

When you think of high-fidelity speakers, you might imagine imposing, box-like speakers needing to occupy space in your room. Admittedly, many high-end speaker brands create exquisitely finished and attractive models, but if that's not your preference, do you have to compromise on sound quality? There was a time when the answer was yes, but certainly not anymore. Modern architectural hi-fi speakers pack all the performance you want into packages discreetly installed in walls and ceilings, freeing your space to embody your design vision. Stay with us as we provide some examples of how you can have high-fidelity home audio custom-fitted to your Vail, CO, space to create sublime listening experiences.
