4 Big Ticket Tech Gifts to Brighten Your Home Through the Holidays and Beyond

The days are getting shorter and colder which means only one thing - the holidays are upon us. The holidays spent with family will bring you warmth, but here are 4 big ticket gifts that can brighten your home through the winter and for years to come. The first two ideas are smaller projects with a big impact. The second two are ways to take your home to the next level during your renovation or remodel.

1. Upgrade Your TV and Home Audio

For more casual viewing areas, small changes can make a big difference. Adding a 4K TV and high-end soundbar can elevate your movie-watching experience tremendously. Sony 4K TVs come in multiple models ranging in size and quality. No doubt, one of these TVs can exceed your expectations without exceeding your budget. Jumping from 1080 to 4K is a quick way to dramatically improve your living room.

Add audio to the room as well. While it can't beat true surround sound, a Sonos Playbar or Beam can deliver great quality audio for both your TV and home audio. Not only will it make the television sound great, you can wirelessly stream music through the soundbar as well. If you have an existing Sonos system, all the better, as you can add it to your app with a simple setup.

2. The Living Room Home Theater

For those looking for a smaller project that pays off greatly, turn your living room into a true entertainment space for watching movies, listening to music by the fire, or hosting parties for the big game of the week.

What you'll need:

• Sony 4K TV or Projector

• Surround Sound Audio

• Dependable Universal Remote

3. Home Theater that Beats the Movies

No kidding, building a home theater for your family will make you forget all about going to the movies. With comfy seating, stunning picture, and booming surround sound, you'll get an experience better than any movie could provide. Not to mention options for a built in bar and leather recliners.

The sky is the limit when it comes to home theater setups, but you can also go a long way for a reasonable price. And if you're going to make the leap to a home theater, trust only the experts that can help you design, build, and maintain the system. Work with Westfair's highly experienced technicians and sales team to talk through what you want in terms of seating, lighting, audio quality, picture quality, and custom amenities.

And when it all comes together, you'll have an unbeatable experience in your home with every detail designed precisely for you.

4. Home Automation at Your Fingertips

If you're planning a larger remodel or building a new house from the ground up, we can work with you to see how we can bring luxurious automations seamlessly into your home. The most common starting point is integrating you TV, Audio, and Lighting onto one platform. We will put all your music and TV sources into one location with access from room in the home.

Add in a lighting system that comes with preset scenes, programmable schedules, and endless customization options. You can also automate natural light with motorized window treatments. One of our favorite ideas is using window shades as your alarm - set them to open when you want to wake up and let the natural light wake you up.

It's not too late to get these projects done before the holidays. Contact our sales team to schedule installation before the end of the year!
