Design

Nicht nur Zweckerfüllung, sondern auch ansprechendes Design stehen im Vordergrund. So wird neben innovativen Lösungen auch viel Energie in Designstudien investiert. Als Resultat davon müssen Sie unsere Geräte in der guten Stube nicht verstecken, sondern integrieren sie als Teil des Ganzen.

rephrase

I'd rephrase something like this

...you do not have to hide our [device], it can be integrated as a part of your overall living room/ lounge/ room design

HTH

neutral Richard Benham : I can't help feeling "in der guten Stube" is purely metaphorical.

Yes, you could be right, in that case just "room design" would be the better option.
agree Mechthild Roeling : I like this way as it stresses the fact that the device can be displayed even in a (special) room, simply by the word order.

(no need to) hide (our devices) in your living room

gute Stube = living room (in times past, it was only used when guests came, it was kept as a special = gute room).
You can display it prominently, even in your living room.

are not to be hidden away

To my mind talking of displaying them is perhaps taking it a bit too far - the talk is of "integrieren", which to me says that you don't need to be ashamed of them but neither do they want to be exactly prominent.

I'd avoid anything to do with lounge or living room as neither term has the "for special use only" implications of a gute Stube, so the reference misses the point. Hence my suggestion of something fairly middle of the road.

doesn't need to be tucked away

our equipment is so stylish that you can take pride of showing it even in your living quarters/ show room

our products are designed to be seen, no need to tuck them away
