THE FUTURE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Ever wished upon a star that you could bring home your favorite sports bar’s massive digital screen that showcases a variety of games at the same time? The answer, friends, is now you can. Daniel Tapolow, owner of Infinite AV Solutions in Little Silver, explained, “Direct-view LED panels have their roots in commercial applications. But lately, they have been making their way into the high-end residential market. As these screens become higher resolution and more reliable, we are starting to see an uptick in their home applications. Clients want giant, custom TVs. A high-profile example is the brand new Las Vegas Sphere, but you can now get that same technology in your home. A local, super-sized example can be found at one of our recent projects, Baseline Social in Oceanport. This 600-square-foot 4K TV can be split to view all of your favorite games and shows at the same time.” i-av.com

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Whether you’re looking to freshen up a dated room or employ a full home redesign, rugs and floor coverings are often the focal point of any living space and can instantly change the entire mood. Weinstein by Stark, established in 1957, has remained a stalwart in the New Jersey rug and carpet scene for more than half a century, famed for its diverse portfolio of fashionable and high-quality threads along with a personalized, one-on-one approach to service. Recently, the Little Silver boutique added a revolutionary new fabric to its repertoire: SPA, a mighty high-performance fiber that’s both stylish and stain resistant, even against the toughest assailants. “You can spill red wine on it, and the stain will be cleanable,” explained Freda Hanono, the store’s president. Produced by highly skilled weavers in India, these hardy rugs and carpets are a tech-savvy segue into the future without compromising on style. weinsteinbystark.com
