Extend Your Living Space with Outdoor Entertainment

While having been growing in popularity for some time, extending our outdoor spaces became the deciding trend in home upgrades in 2022. These spaces aren't just for the summer months but are instead a multi-functional extension, a place to enjoy the beauty of nature year-round and the best in entertainment. 

Like home theaters and media rooms, these exterior upgrades become one of the favorite areas of the home—the place to watch movies, enjoy the big game, or listen to summer playlists as we lounge by the pool. Creating the perfect outdoor entertainment setting requires TVs and music systems designed for the outdoors and landscape lights that create an intriguing ambiance long into the night.

Let’s explore the possibilities and how these spaces transform homes and entertainment in Westchester County, NY.

Movies Under the Stars

The current trend is to dream of the possibilities and design bigger. It incorporates elaborate landscape firepits and portable heaters. They may include outdoor bars, full kitchens, and, of course, outdoor TVs. These TVs offer the latest QLED and UHD HDR displays up to 85 inches, delivering the same lifelike image you experience indoors with brilliant clarity and color. 

Many of these displays are designed for full sun, retaining their brilliance even in the peak light of day. They are also designed for all weather conditions, including snow, wind, and rain, with some withstanding temperatures ranging from -40°F to 140°F.

Surround Sound that Fills the Air

The best pictures require immersive surround sound to accompany them. At Advanced Home Audio, we partner with Coastal Source, an industry leader in outdoor audio and lighting. Their bollard speakers and subwoofers deliver high-fidelity sound that blankets your outdoor areas, and our certified technicians strategically place speakers to blend in with the landscape. 

Lighting that Transforms

Coastal Source also manufactures solid cast brass lighting fixtures designed for the great outdoors that are able to withstand snow, freezing temperatures, and corrosive salt water. Our design team surveys the site before we transform your outdoor area into a work of art. Downlights, uplights, recessed lighting, niche, LED lighting strips, and even tiki torches create an enchanting oasis where friends and family gather long into the evening.

Integrated Technology

When combined with a home automation system, you experience one-touch control of your new outdoor entertainment and lighting system. This platform integrates indoor and outdoor lighting, climate, AV equipment, security, and more. Choose your audio and video source and your zone from a user-friendly touchscreen or remote, whether watching a movie on the patio or enjoying music by the pool. 

Preset scenes enable users to control multiple systems with one touch. For instance, an “Outdoor Evening Entertainment” button may stream your outdoor party playlist, light the gas firepits, and illuminate your patio and landscape in breathtaking lights. When it's time to watch a movie, press "Movie Night," and the lights dim while the TV turns on.

At Advanced Home Audio, we provide simple control of integrated technology while creating spaces of beauty that enhance your everyday life. To learn more about outdoor entertainment or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Advanced Home Audio today.
