School holidays aren’t just a break from the classroom, they’re a chance to reconnect, unwind, and make lasting memories. From outdoor kitchens and fire pits to cinematic nights under the stars, the garden is fast becoming the go-to space for quality family time.

Here’s how to bring your garden to life with our top three outdoor warriors for shared summer moments.

Welcoming Luce & Light to the Butler Harwell Portfolio

At Butler Harwell, we are passionate about curating the very best in design-led technology, and lighting plays a vital role in how a home or space feels, functions, and flourishes. That’s why we’re proud to announce the addition of Luce & Light to our brand family, distributed in the UK through our valued partners at MESH.

Luce & Light represents the pinnacle of Italian lighting design, combining refined architectural aesthetics with outstanding outdoor performance. Known for their precision engineered luminaires, they offer lighting solutions that do far more than simply brighten a space, they bring it to life.

Abels Helps us Move into the Grand House.

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with Abels Moving Services, a collaboration launched in true style last week as Abels supported our move into the Grand House at Grand Designs Live at ExCeL London.

The festive season is upon us, and with it comes the joy of creating magical moments within our homes. The act of setting the scene and creating an inviting atmosphere has itself become magical with whole-home automation systems. With a simple command, ambient lighting and twinkling decorative lights can be conjured to the backdrop of your curated winter playlist in front of the warm glow from the fireplace. 

This blog explores the joy of bespoke atmospheres, the comfort and convenience of remote control, shared experiences with family favourites playing from room to room, and enhanced home security whilst at home or vacated for the holidays, all thanks to intelligent scene-setting functions within whole-home automation.

As home cinema and whole home automation specialists, we can’t emphasise enough the importance of a strong integrated network of subsystems to ensure the smooth running of connected homes. On this occasion, however, it’s a different type of network that takes prominence as we highlight the significance of professional networking across the industries that have converged to make Lifestyle Technology what it has become today.

This May, Grand Designs Live will be building a Grand Designs House for the first time at London ExCeL and Butler Harwell are proud, official Cinema Room partners. Grand Designs Live is a ‘home event full of inspiration and expert advice’. From 4 - 12 May, guests are invited to explore luxury design and innovative, sustainable home solutions in-situ in a stunning show home, exclusively built to ‘wow’ visitors at the show.

ISE 2024 took Butler Harwell to Barcelona, where the team discovered the latest Lifestyle Technology offering the balance between Architecture, Design and Technology.
