CEDIA 2026 offered a clear look at where luxury residential design is heading: technology that is more integrated, more intentional and increasingly considered from the earliest stages of a project. From architectural lighting and concealed entertainment to contextual AI, custom window treatments and outdoor technology, these are some of the solutions that caught our attention and the trends designers and specifiers should have on their radar.
Technology is becoming part of the design language. Orluna brings architectural lighting into the conversation, while Palladiom Drapery combines refined window treatments with discreet motorization, giving designers more ways to integrate technology without compromising the architectural vision.
For specifiers, the opportunity is to consider lighting and shading as part of the design from the start.
What if the technology simply wasn’t there when you didn’t need it? Vanish Designs is pushing media concealment further, creating solutions where displays and entertainment technology can disappear into the architecture when not in use.
For designers, it’s another way to protect the visual integrity of a space without giving up performance.
The technology behind a luxury residence matters just as much as what you see. Xtreme Power’s compact power solutions help integrators build cleaner, more efficient infrastructure while protecting the systems that keep an intelligent home running.
For designers and specifiers, it’s a reminder that great technology design starts behind the scenes, with infrastructure thoughtfully considered from the beginning.
The next generation of home control is moving beyond commands.
Josh AI Pro brings contextual voice interaction and local processing into the conversation, creating a more natural way to interact with an intelligent home. For designers and technology specifiers, this means thinking beyond individual controls and toward experiences that feel intuitive from the start.
