But, as more people flock to Bend, the desire for tech-savvy houses, complete with all the bells and whistles. As a result, home AV system design has become an all-important aspect of the overall home design.  

As you start working on your next design, make sure it can accommodate your client’s technology requests by adhering to these three AV system design tips. 

Tip #1: Use AV Systems to Your Advantage

The bar is high for designers and architects in the Bend and Redmond area. Competition is fierce in the area, particularly as more global developers move into the market. Luckily, clever and efficient use of home AV system design can help draw the attention of home buyers and position your plans above the rest. 

A properly designed AV system blends into the background of a space, working quietly and efficiently to create an immersive experience for the homeowner. Not to mention, they can also add immense value to the home. By utilizing top-notch AV systems in your designs, you can dazzle your clients and increase your chance of referrals and work down the line.

Tip #2: Consult AV Specialists on Your Designs

When it comes time to start designing a home, we suggest consulting an AV specialist early on. By getting in at the blueprint level, consultants can help ensure that AV system design is a forethought, not an afterthought. This allows for seamless centralized systems that are far more streamlined and suitable to the space than a patched-up retrofit.

AV specialists like the team at Stereo Planet can also help point you in the right direction. They can help clarify equipment capabilities and proper wiring and spacing considerations. That means you and the client can save time and money when it comes time for installation. 

Tip #3: Opt for an AV Specialist for Installation

Speaking of installation, when it comes time to implement your designs, we highly recommend you go with an AV specialist for installation. Proper placement and attention to detail are vital if you want to create a truly immersive experience. 

By consulting a specialist like Stereo Planet, you can ensure your designs come to life exactly how you and the client envisioned them. Not only that, but you can also avoid costly mistakes from inexperienced installers.
