When it comes to home renovation or home improvement, everyone has their own ideas about what they’d like in their home. The beauty of it is, is that because everyone is different, there are a plethora of different ideas and tips posted all over the internet and in magazines. When it comes to gadgets and items in the home, there are many things that you will find similar in most people’s homes. Things like beds, chairs, cookers and so on are things that you will find in pretty much every home in the world. However, there are items of luxury that you can now have in your home that will completely upgrade your home in ways you’d never dreamed of. Many people are taking the opportunity to upgrade to a smart home, this is why Crestron installers are in demand. Take a look at these 4 things you didn’t know you needed for your home until now and see which ones take your eye!
Smart toilet
A toilet is a toilet right? Well, with a smart toilet you have more than just a place to ‘do your business’. It’s no secret that toilets are pretty much the dirtiest place in any home, even if you’re cleaning it regularly. However, you can’t live without it. Popular Toto toilets sold in the US offer features such as a more powerful flush, no rim for germs to harbour underneath, and even the ability to control how much water you’re using when you flush the toilet. Gone are the days where you have to put a rule in place about when to flush the toilet, because now even urine can be flushed without having to use the full amount of water that a regular toilet uses. This of course, will save you plenty of money throughout the year too! And if all of that hasn’t already sold you, smart toilets are super stylish meaning that they won’t stick out like a sore thumb in your bathroom. You’re also able to choose a more comfortable height for your toilet too, so if you’re particularly tall, your toilet can accommodate you, meaning that those toilet trips will be just that little bit nicer.
LED taps
Okay so LED taps actually serve more of a purpose other than making your taps look incredible. Lights are fitted into your tap which then come on each time the water is running. The great thing about them is that they can detect the temperature of the water and in turn, display a colour that will indicate to you how warm the water is. So, for hot water you can expect a red light to show and vice versa for cold and lukewarm water. They can make your life easier if you’ve got small children, as you can teach them that if the water comes out as red, they mustn’t touch the water. It’s also a really great addition to any bathroom that’s simple and fairly inexpensive to install! Take a look at some examples of LED taps and see for yourself how amazing they look!
Robotic vacuum
If you’re like most people, you’ll hate housework and the fact that you’ve got to do it so regularly. However, if you’re clever enough to invest in a robotic vacuum, your life could be made one hell of a lot easier. They are usually a fairly small disk that you charge at a charging point on the ground, and they simply maneuver their way around your home, picking up all dirt and debris in the way. Imagine never having to vacuum again? Sounds amazing right? Not only do they take a job away from you, but they are generally quieter than a microwave, and will indicate to you when it needs emptying or charging. Why not treat yourself to a robotic vacuum and save a lot of time and effort when it comes to housework?
TV backlight
Finally, have you ever been sat in your lounge at night watching TV, and had the dilemma where the room is too dark with the light off, but not as relaxing with the light on? Yeah, we’ve all been there. While a lamp is a brilliant solution to this issue, why not be different and opt for a TV backlight instead? This is usually a strip of LED lights that are placed behind your television. When they are switched on, they create a mesmerising glow behind your TV which can both calm and excite at the same time. LED lights come in pretty much any colours these days too, so pick a colour that will match the theme in your lounge (or bedroom, depending on where you’re choosing to use a backlight) so that your home will look and feel super sleek.
As you can see, these four gadgets are super cool and super desirable, and also have other uses than simply looking good. Which one will you choose to buy first?
