Bring Stunning Music to Every Room and Outdoor Area with Whole-Home Audio

As Aldous Huxley said, “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” It is undoubtedly for that reason that every culture in the world expresses itself through music and dance—defining their beliefs and carrying them through the best and worst of times.

Music is, in many ways, the soundtrack of our days, bringing us to long-forgotten memories and instilling hope for what’s to come. Research shows it has the power to reduce pain and anxiety and improve moods and memory. It’s a powerful medium that deserves more than a Bluetooth speaker following us through our homes and out into our yards. 

Creating a home where music is the defining element requires whole-home audio. Let’s explore how these remarkable systems are transforming the home environment for those who live in Tampa, FL.

Elevating Everyday Experiences with State-of-the-Art Home Audio Video

Do you remember when home audio-video systems consisted of a few TVs and a stereo? Times have definitely changed.

Today's homeowners seek the ultimate entertainment, with sound and images rivaling commercial venues. They want high-fidelity music that fills their entire homes and extends into their yards. They want to open the doors to a space designed to transport them to another world through visuals and audio so lifelike that they engage all their senses.

At Acadian Home Theater & Automation, we're excited to share the latest technology to create these unique and awe-inspiring entertainment spaces while retaining your home's immaculate design. Here, we'll explore three of the most popular home AV solutions and how they lay hidden from view in plain sight in your New Orleans, LA, home. 

The Essential Question: What Brings You Joy?

Home theater design—three words that can fill you with excitement or a slight sense of dread. With today’s incredible selections in AV, seating, lighting, acoustic paneling, and overall aesthetics, where do you begin? Do you lean toward ergonomic, tiered recliners, chaise lounges, sectionals, or modular seating? Are you thinking of a more casual, relaxed affair with bistro tables, a bar, a few gaming chairs, and a pool table in the back? Or does a home theater filled with old-world charm enhanced with velvet curtains, gold lamé, and Art Deco wall sconces appeal to your senses? 

The choices are virtually limitless. 

At Acadian Home Theater & Automation, our extensive experience crafting one-of-a-kind home theaters for clients across Tampa, FL, has led us to understand the importance of discovery, the one-on-one conversation regarding your lifestyle and vision. The most important question we ask during this essential component of the home cinema design process is, “What brings you the most joy?”

The answer to this question ensures a theater that meets and often exceeds your expectations. Here, we’ll explore how that vital question affects the ultimate home entertainment space.  

Enhance Your Everyday Living with Effortless Control of Light

If you’re like many people, controlling your lights consists of flipping switches, an action that reveals the same soft or bright white light illuminating a room. We turn on the reading lamp when it’s time to settle down with a good book and dim the lights when watching a movie. These minor changes reflect our current task but do little to alter the aesthetics. 

Yet our lives are constantly in motion, enjoying a meal with the family, date night with our partner, a cocktail party with associates, and an evening garden party with neighbors and friends. These activities that define our days in Lafayette, LA, deserve more than lighting that’s become mundane. They deserve lighting designed for the occasion.

And that’s where smart lighting control comes in. 

Let’s explore what this technology offers and how it’s creating spaces of beauty, intrigue, and light.
