Hello World! Welcome Friends! When we look at our home, what is the first thing that we want to ensure in our home? Was that question too vague for you to understand? Let us put it more directly than –
Which one will you prefer first – Home security or Home decor?
Still not decided about the answer? Well, that even we weren’t able to do so. It is really hard to choose one over another.
Both are important parts of a home, and even without one, the home will feel incomplete. So, we came up with a different solution.
While we were wondering what could be the right answer and whether or not we can have them both and still make the home look appealing, a thought struck us – Why not incorporate the two in such a way they complement each other.
Well, this was the answer we were looking for.
After thorough research, we found that it’s actually possible to incorporate home security systems and home decor and still make your home look stunning and beautiful.
How to Blend Home Security Equipment With Your Home Decor?
There is a common misunderstanding among people that installing home security can negatively affect interior design. Well, it is true that it’s a challenging task to pull off, but it will certainly not affect the interior design of your home.
Whether your home is rustic, modern, or country chic, improvise to give your home both security and beauty with the right technology and practices.
Below are a few hand-picked practices from the Smith Thompson ideas.
1. Coordinate With the Colors
Color is an important aspect to consider while installing a home security system. With the wide range of choices in the smart home market, you can get home security devices with the colors you want.
For instance, there are smart doorbells that usually come in square and rectangular to match doors security lock. With a little research, you can even get the product in the same color.
Coming inside your home, you can use the home security devices that share the same color pattern and codes as the walls and ceilings.
Matching the color is not just about choosing devices based on your color taste, but it also makes the home security devices invisible. This increases the chance that they won’t catch the intruder’s eyes.
2. Create Secret Passage For Peripherals
One of the most annoying parts of installing a home security system is the protruding peripherals. The extra wires hang from the ceilings and walls like vines—just imaging entering a room with wires hanging here and there.
That is just frustrating to look at.
Trends in interior design constantly change, and experts are coming up with different ways to make the interior look clean. This is why most home security companies are working with wireless devices.
Even if they use wired devices, they create secret passages to hide all the extra wires and extensions.
Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. With wireless devices, you can skip all the wires, while with wired devices, you can get reliability and consistency.
3. Incorporate With the Elements
If you see the old security system and compare it with the latest home security gadgets, you will find that the modern gadgets are more elegant and versatile. They can be integrated into any home design without affecting the overall interior look.
For instance, put a white camera on a wooden shelf. And now, to cover its presence, add a vase and a small statue. You will find that the camera is camouflaging among the other objects placed on the wooden desk.
Today, it has become a trend to place wireless security cameras at different angles to add aesthetic loom to interior design.
However, while you are using this method to install home security systems, you need to be careful about how to operate them.
4. Keep Your Home Security Modern
It is important to keep your home security system updated and modern. Older devices are more prone to hacking and tampering.
This is because an internet connection allows hackers to easily infiltrate the devices and overcome security measures. However, if you have older devices, they are more prone to hacks.
Occasionally do some research on modern devices and see whether or not you can update your old home security devices. Furthermore, you will be able to update the software, fix the patches, and keep your system secure.
Finally, you will be able to secure your network from the hackers and thieves out of the smart home.
5. Use the Non-Usable Spaces
Another way to ensure all your home security devices look good is to use all the existing security fixtures and security measures. You can even take a tour around the house and see places that are hardly used. If a place is hardly used, that means it is hidden from normal sight.
You can take advantage of such places to install home security systems without disturbing the home interiors.
Outdoor cameras need to be up high for the best viewing range. So, take advantage of those old light fixtures to make them less noticeable.
Staying Safe & Stylish!
Being safe and secure inside the house doesn’t have to be an unsightly site of cameras everywhere, tall pillars, and other unattractive security devices.
Instead, you can use modern technology to incorporate home security systems in the house without affecting your home appeal.
The tips we have shared in this article will help you make your home more secure without reducing the appeal.
When there is already an option, why go for a traditional method of installing a home security system and making your home look more like a prison.
