Elevating Luxury Living

Linear Lighting Adds Quiet Luxury to Any Room

It’s often the subtlest details that have the biggest impact. One of those under-the-radar design elements you can incorporate into your home is linear lighting. 

If you’ve ever walked into a room and thought, “This just feels classy,” chances are, linear lighting and a professional lighting design played a role. If you're working with a lighting designer, hoping to achieve that five-star hotel feel in your own home, then keep reading to learn why this is the one feature you don’t want to skip.

From Underused Space to Unforgettable Experiences

Every home has that space, the one that collects more dust than memories. For Elite Media Solutions’ founder, Brian Gibson, it was the basement. 

Once filled with a ping pong table and exercise gear, the space was functional but uninspiring. Brian knew firsthand what transformative technology could do, so he envisioned a place where family, friends, and future generations could gather for moments they’d never forget.

The goal of this basement remodel? A space where tech would enhance rather than overpower, seamlessly blending into the design to create a versatile retreat everyone can enjoy.

Over time, the plan evolved through thoughtful layout changes and inspired choices. What began as a concept became a high-performance home theater that rivals commercial cinemas, while still preserving the bar, game area, and exercise nook that make the basement a multi-functional haven.

A Night Where Music, Technology, and Design Converged

There are nights that leave a lasting impression on us, where music and conversation blend seamlessly to create something magical. On June 12th, Elite Media Solutions partnered with the esteemed M. Steinert & Sons to host an exclusive evening celebrating the intersection of timeless musical craftsmanship and cutting-edge audio innovation. 

The event, aptly themed “The Sweet Sounds of Summer,” brought together homeowners, architects, designers, and music lovers to explore how rich, high-resolution sound can transform living spaces and create memories that last a lifetime.

A Warm Welcome and Unforgettable Ambiance

From the moment guests arrived at the elegant M. Steinert showroom, the energy was palpable. Attendees were welcomed with handcrafted cocktails and delectable hors d’oeuvres, which set the perfect tone for an evening of shared passion for extraordinary sound and sophisticated design. Conversations flowed easily as new connections were made and old friendships rekindled. The best part was everyone being united by a love for music.

Captivating Live Performance by a Rising Star

At the heart of the evening was a spellbinding performance by pianist Pelin Su Yavuz, a finalist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Competition. 

As Pelin’s fingers danced across the Steinway piano keys, the room fell silent, mesmerized by a performance that reminded everyone why music holds such power over our hearts and minds. In that moment, the event transcended being a simple gathering and became a deeply moving experience.

Let’s Transform Your Property, One Roller Shade and Window at a Time

The finest homes share a secret: they come to life with natural light. As seasons shift from crisp autumn mornings to cold wintry nights and, later, to bright summer afternoons, the interplay of sunlight (or lack thereof) through windows defines the character of beautiful historic homes in our area. 

Now, a feature recently unveiled by Lutron, Natural Light Optimization (NLO), is revolutionizing how homes harness daylight. Windows become part of your smart home system, anticipating and adapting to the sun’s journey based on your property’s longitude, latitude, and window orientation! 

We dive into NLO’s benefits and features below, so keep reading to learn more.

Go Beyond Traditional Automation

What makes NLO revolutionary isn't its ability to automate shading operations. No, instead, it’s the intelligence behind those movements. By knowing your home's exact location and window orientation, NLO creates a customized choreography of shade adjustments that follow the sun's natural journey across the sky.

Think about your typical day. As morning light creeps across the horizon, bedroom roller shades gradually rise to welcome the dawn. During peak afternoon hours, when the sun usually creates harsh glare on the kitchen countertops or your home office desk, NLO has already anticipated and adjusted accordingly to maintain perfect light levels without any needed input from you. Live your life, and your shades will do the work for you!
