The trend in decorating with technology was spearheaded by LG Collins in as early as 2008 and had even called the techno-based decorating style, “techorating.” Although digital signages were initially conceptualized as cost-efficient tools for advertising, LG Collins introduced the idea of using digital technology as an interior decorating component. Today, digital signages have evolved as they are now being used as interior decorations in lobbies of hotels, meeting hubs, restaurants, supermalls, museums, airports and even in waiting rooms of hospitals.

Technorating Components are More than Just Digital Signages

9The primary goal of techorating is to create a heart-warming ambience whilst enhancing the visual experiences of both occupants and visitors. As a matter of fact, LG Collins even engaged the services of celebrated interior designer Doug Wilson, host of the “Trading Spaces” show aired by Discovery’s educational TV network The Learning Channel (TLC). Mr. Wilson officially became the first “Techorator,” and through his show gave consumer tips and how-to guides when techorating or using digital panels as decors and elements of interior design.

Digital signage designs are not just for advertising campaigns anymore. As LED-based interior decorations, the fusion of LED technology and visual elements create unique experiences not only in high-end commercial markets but even in high-grade residential areas.

Although digital displays in the form of LED posters and wall hangers are premium products. their values are well worth their prices. Every panel of LED posters is deemed sustainable as it can last for at least a decade. Each digital display is housed and supported by a led poster frame, using a customer’s choice of material; such as gold, aluminum, copper or recyclable and reusable plastic called Polycarbonate plastic.

The good news is that makers of LED posters and panels say they are now seeing lower costs. That being the case, LED posters and panels are now available as affordable choices of aesthetic and visual art displays.

Innovators of Digital Hardware in Missions to Lower Costs of Techorating

Innovators in the hardware space have been making improvements in equipment, to enhance the cost-efficiency and quality of digital displays. Moreover, the digital content of LED posters can be remotely managed using CMS apps installed in Android or iOS devices.

Managing requires only a few clicks when looking to replace old content with new ones, which decoration managers can accomplish in any location. Being able to do so can also lower maintenance expenses

However, what about Gen Z? What do you think is their disposition about this?

Gen Z or the “zoomers,” were born between 1996 and 2015 and may not initially appear to be overly familiar with MCM. Social media is seeing a rise in more lighthearted fashion trends which includes pastel colors and aesthetic designs. There is more to it than meets the eye, according to Gen Z designers.
