Smart Home Upgrades
Modern Technology, Timeless Design
Smart home features have become an essential part of today’s most functional and efficient living spaces. At PNB Interior Design, Inc., we help clients across Massachusetts and Maine incorporate smart technology into their homes in ways that are both beautiful and practical.
With more than 45 years of interior design and architectural planning experience, we provide expert guidance on how to integrate modern systems—such as smart lighting, motorized window treatments, and remote-controlled systems—without compromising design integrity. Our smart home upgrade services are personalized, design-forward, and tailored to your lifestyle.
What Smart Home Integration Includes
Smart home upgrades are most successful when planned in coordination with your overall interior design. At PNB, we help clients incorporate technology that enhances the way they live, work, and entertain while preserving the aesthetic of their space.
Services include:
- Smart lighting systems and dimming control
- Motorized window treatments and shade integration
- Smart thermostats and climate control
- Integrated sound and speaker systems
- Home automation hubs and device compatibility planning
- Voice-controlled technology placement
- Lighting scenes and scheduling coordination
- Concealed technology planning to maintain clean design lines
- Vendor and installer coordination
- System recommendations based on lifestyle and use
We focus on user-friendly systems that align with your daily habits and design goals. Our approach ensures technology feels intuitive, discreet, and compatible with your home’s visual character.
Designed for Function, Discreet by Design
Smart home features should enhance your lifestyle without overpowering your decor. We specialize in integrating devices and systems that are cleanly concealed or carefully placed so that the space retains its warmth and elegance.
From selecting recessed lighting that pairs with smart dimmers, to specifying motorized shades that match your fabric palette, we think through every detail. The result is a home that feels responsive and intuitive, without looking overly mechanical or impersonal.
We also help clients future-proof their spaces by choosing systems that are expandable and adaptable as technology evolves.
Ideal for Renovations, New Construction, and Whole-Home Upgrades
Smart home planning is best done early in the design process—but we also assist clients in retrofitting existing homes. Our smart home design services are perfect for:
- Whole-home automation planning
- Kitchen and bath lighting upgrades
- Media rooms and home offices
- Bedrooms and personal retreat areas
- Second homes or vacation properties
- Energy-efficient upgrades and lighting zones
- Accessibility-focused home technology
Whether you want to simplify daily routines, improve energy management, or enhance security and convenience, we provide solutions that are elegant and effective.
