Family Life with THOMSON Sirius & Vega Projectors
French creator Sarah Millien shares how portable, design-forward projectors bring learning, entertainment, and style into her home.
There’s something special about coming home: the smell of fresh flowers, laughter drifting in from the garden, the soft chime of footsteps upstairs. For Sarah Millien, founder of Dream Home Family, these little details are what make life meaningful. Based in northern France, Sarah has turned her passion for interior design and renovation into a way of living and sharing. Her content celebrates the beauty of spaces that are warm, lived-in, and deeply personal. With her husband and two daughters, she brings together style, comfort, and practicality. It might be creating study corners, enjoying creative play, lounging by the pool, or spending evenings together on their terrace.
This autumn, Sarah discovered two new additions that fit seamlessly into her family’s world: the THOMSON Google TV Projectors, Sirius and Vega. Each plays a different role in her home, complementing her daily rhythm and her love for beautiful, functional design.
Sarah & Dream Home Family
My name is Sarah, I'm 38 years old, and I've been happily married to Sébastien for 10 years. Together, we have two young daughters who fill our everyday life with joy. I work as a pharmaceutical sales representative, but I've always had a deep passion for interior design, architecture, and real estate.
I started my Instagram account three years ago, right when we began building our home. At first, I was just a quiet observer — then little by little, I started sharing: my décor ideas, the steps in our construction journey, and eventually our renovation projects. Today, I’ve built a loyal and engaged community who follows me not only for home inspiration but also for behind-the-scenes updates on our current projects — like the renovation of our seaside studio.
My dream? To help others create spaces that truly reflect who they are — with authenticity and passion.
Sirius
Big Screen, Big Moments Indoors
For those times when the family gathers inside, Sirius is Sarah’s first choice. With its ultra-short-throw design, it can project a stunning 100-inch image from just 40 centimetres away. This means no rearranging furniture or setting up complicated equipment. Instead, the family enjoys an elegant, cinema-like experience right in the living room.
Sarah particularly appreciates how effortless it is to use. Auto-focus and keystone correction ensure the picture is perfect within seconds, which is a blessing when the girls are eager to start a film or dive into a documentary.
“What I love about the Sirius is that in seconds our living room turns into a cinema,” Sarah says. “The girls are amazed every time the whole wall comes alive, and I don’t have to move a single piece of furniture.”
Combined with Dolby Audio and built-in Google TV streaming, the Sirius offers immersive evenings that fit every mood. Sometimes it is family movie marathons. Other times, quiet mornings when Sarah enjoys something inspiring while the rest of the house slowly wakes.
With its sleek, minimal design, it blends seamlessly into her interiors. It feels less like a gadget and more like a natural extension of her home.
Vega
Freedom to Move, Indoors and Out
If Sirius is about creating big moments indoors, then the Vega is all about flexibility and spontaneity. Compact, portable and equipped with its own case and adjustable bracket, it easily moves between the terrace, poolside or even a bedroom ceiling during a sleepover.
The built-in battery, which lasts up to 120 minutes in EcoMode, makes it ideal for evenings outdoors without worrying about cables or power.
Sarah loves how Vega adapts to her family’s changing needs. On warm summer nights, it turns the terrace into an open-air cinema. In winter, it can just as easily transform a quiet corner of the house into a creative space for the girls.
“The Vega is our favourite for evenings outside,” Sarah explains. “We just take it to the terrace, and suddenly the stars are above us and the film is in front of us. It feels magical, without any effort.”
Whether it is projecting cartoons under blankets, sharing slideshows of holiday memories or simply watching a film under the stars, Vega offers freedom without compromise.
Aesthetic Harmony and Everyday Ease
What Sarah values most about these projectors is how naturally they fit her design philosophy. Both Sirius and Vega are sleek and minimal, complementing her interiors rather than disrupting them. Their neutral, elegant lines feel at home among her chosen textures and tones. Above all, they are simple to use. There is no complicated setup or intrusive technology, just a beautiful design that works when you need it.
As Sarah puts it:
"For me, technology must be simple and beautiful, otherwise it doesn’t belong in my house. Sirius and Vega are exactly that: elegant, easy and always ready for family moments.”
Technology That Supports Family Life
Although the girls sometimes use the projectors for learning, such as watching a documentary for school or preparing a small presentation, what stands out more is how these devices support joy beyond homework and learning.
They help turn everyday moments into memories: storytelling evenings, creative workshops, outdoor gatherings with neighbours and cosy winter nights when the family piles onto the sofa.
For Sarah, that is what makes technology truly valuable. Not when it takes over life, but when it quietly enriches it.
A Duo That Complements Family Living
Together, Sirius and Vega strike the perfect balance for Sarah’s home. Sirius delivers power and presence indoors, perfect for immersive, shared experiences. Vega brings the flexibility to follow the family wherever they go, indoors or out, turning any wall into a canvas for entertainment, creativity, or simply being together.
In Sarah’s lifestyle, beauty and practicality always go hand in hand. These projectors reflect that balance. They are stylish enough to belong in her thoughtfully designed home, and versatile enough to grow with her family as their needs change. If you are looking to enrich your own home with the same mix of elegance, ease and versatility, discover the Sirius and Vega projectors, and imagine the stories they could help create in your family.
