Smart Homes for Interior Designers

Upgrade your client's experience with a trusted technology partner

Create Spaces Where Technology Disappears And Your Design Shines

Bulky switches, visible wires, awkwardly placed sensors or TVs can clash with your vision and ruin carefully planned sightlines and focal points.​

Quinte Smart Homes sets you apart from other interior designers by carefully incorporating the technology into the architecture and decor, so it supports the space rather than standing out from it, such as:

  • Automated lighting
  • Custom motorized shades
  • Hidden, crystal-clear audio
  • Clean, refined home theatres
  • Discreet home security
  • And more

No wires. Just clean work.

Smart home for designers: Many of our smart lighting systems come with a 10-year warranty, which gives both designers and their clients confidence in the investment. If fixtures are added later, the system keeps the colour and brightness consistent across every light, so the design still looks exactly as it should.
Why Choose Us

Why Interior Designers Choose Quinte Smart Homes

1. We protect your aesthetic

Every device, keypad, speaker, and sensor is chosen and placed to support your concept, not fight it. Think low‑profile controls, hidden speakers, and solutions that vanish into millwork, stone, and architectural details.

2. We work with your process

We join early, work from your drawings and coordinate with your trades, project managers and electrician so technology never becomes a last‑minute problem.

3. We bring the tech, you keep the relationship

We handle all design, installation, programming and ongoing support so you never have to play tech support for your clients. Your clients get a home that’s beautiful, comfortable, and easy to use so it reflects directly back on your design.

4. We Are Licensed Electricians

Smart home companies are often brought in too late, which leads to re‑running wires, patching expensive finishes or compromising on lighting and art placement. This creates delays with clients, builders and the electrical trades.

Quinte Smart Homes’ sister company is Davidson Electrical Services.

Both companies are owned and operated by Justin Davidson, allowing your client’s project to be completed under one roof. This streamlined approach removes the need to coordinate with multiple third-party contractors or spend billable time educating outside teams on specialized wiring requirements and system planning.

Instead, the technology is designed, installed and supported by a team that understands the details.

Smart Home Ideas for Interior Designers

Designer Lighting

When lights are designed with a technology integrator, it does far more than simply turn lights on and off. It ties a room together and creates a space that feels comfortable, easy to control and built to last:

  • Professional-grade fixtures that deliver accurate colour and matching hues, even when clients add more lights up to ten years later.
  • Custom lighting scenes that adapt with natural daylight, enhancing comfort and mood throughout the day.
  • Hidden LED strips that keep sightlines clean like under-cabinet areas, entryways and living rooms.

Lighting Lifestyle Examples:

  1. When the garage door opens after dark, the outdoor lights leading up to your door and just inside the house automatically turn on.
  2. At night, when motion is sensed, ramp lights to 15% (just enough light to see, not to be blinded).
  3. Have the landscape lights come on brighter at sunset, and then dim to 20% at 11 p.m. to conserve energy.

Design Without Distraction

Life is better when everything works together. With technology hidden, only the design-forward interfaces remain visible.

  • Custom-engraved designer keypads to identify each button and match the home’s style.
  • RGB backlit buttons to control any colour to light up each button for clear visibility.
  • One control for lighting, music, drapes, and climate.

Keypad Examples:

  1. When the client presses the “Kitchen” button, their favourite lounge playlists come up and the kitchen lights increase by 30% for perfect work visibility.
  2. When the client presses the “Entertain” button, the hidden TV comes out of a cabinet from the VisionArt, the lights dim 60% and the motorized shades close and cover the window.
  3. When the client presses “All Off” button, every light turns off, the doors lock and the alarm system is activated.

Shading

More than just window treatments, motorized shades allow your clients to customize the natural light in their homes and businesses.

  • Perfectly aligned motorized shades that move in silent synchronization.
  • Fabrics curated to match the interior design.
  • Protects paintings and furnishings from UV damage while maintaining beautiful window views.

Shading Examples:

  1. Automatically open the shades based on time of day or sunlight levels.
  2. When the security system is armed away, lower the shades.
  3. Integrate your client’s shades with lighting scenes and circadian rhythm settings for complete wellness.

Audio

Go beyond sight and set the ambiance by processing multiple integrated and external audio sources and send the music to any combination of rooms or the whole home.

  • Commercial-grade speakers fully hidden within ceilings and walls.
  • Whole-home audio zones managed from one discreet interface.
  • Outdoor and indoor systems balanced for acoustics and aesthetics.

Audio Examples:

  1. Enjoy audio, where different areas of the home can stream their own music through discreet in-ceiling speakers.
  2. Stream any source, anywhere, with stunning movie-theatre sound quality.
  3. Create the perfect home theatre set up with audio built directly in the walls.

User-Friendly Security

A security system protects your client’s home and peace of mind with discreet cameras, access control and notifications that are not intrusive or compromise the home’s architecture or interior design.

Security Examples:

  1. When security is disarmed, and the doorbell is pressed, send an audio announcement of the doorbell chime throughout the home’s speakers and touchscreens, and video preview of who is at the door on active TVs and projectors.
  2. Provide discreet glass-break sensors that protect large windows without visible wiring.
  3. Have the client receive a notification when the temperature in the media closet or wine cellar is too high.
  4. Give access control with video intercom for deliveries and temporary codes for cleaners, dog walkers or contractors.
