There is no luxury greater than a lifestyle sans inconveniences, and having a smart home is the new ultimate in luxury. Smart home technology can lend a level of sophistication to even the most mundane aspects of daily life. From kitchens to entertainment to security systems, home technology can give you peace of mind, reducing everyday lifestyle stress. Read on to find out the best luxury home tech features to make your life more convenient than ever.
Entertainment Technology
Having entertainment technology that works for you and is visually appealing is a rarity. However, a chic and discreet TV, like Samsungs The Frame, transforms into a beautiful piece of art when its off. From the customized frame to the ability to switch out the artwork, this television is the perfect blend of style and function.
Security Technology
Advancements in home security can make it seamless to have peace of mind when securing your home. For example, smart locks, such as options by Yale or Google Nest, are powered by WiFi, so you can secure your home or share access from your smartphone.
Video doorbells, including options from Google Nest, Ring or Eufy, allow you to see who is at your front door if youre unable to come to the door or if youre not home. With motion detectors, two-way audio and video recording options, you will have complete insight into who is at your home without needing to be available.
Bathroom Technology
Luxury bathroom design goes beyond selecting marble floors and custom mirrors. For a genuinely luxe bathroom, investing in technology can turn it into a spa-like oasis. From voice-command lights to a shower that remembers your desired temperature to a towel warming drawer to a mirror that changes the lighting on voice command, the options for bathroom technology are endless.
Kitchen Technology
Between doing the dishes, preparing meals and constant cleaning, kitchens can be a tedious space. However, kitchens can be a luxurious escape for experienced or novice home chefs with the right technology. For example, smart refrigerators are equipped with the technology to keep an inventory of what is inside. In addition, some ovens can advise you on how to cook your meal best and notify you on your smartphone when your meal is done cooking.
Lighting Technology
Automating the lighting in your home can offer you the convenience of controlling the lights when youre not home. For example, if you hurried out of the house in a rush, you can turn the lights off from your phone. Or, after a long day, you can turn the lights on from your phone on your commute home, so you are welcomed by an ambient atmosphere. Some technology, such as the ecobee Switch, can create the illusion youre home by randomizing the light pattern when youre away. If youre settling in for a movie night, Wi-Fi-enabled smart lighting can auto-dim the lights so you can curl up with your popcorn and enjoy the show.
Window Blind Technology
Imagine beginning your day with blinds that automatically open so you can gradually ease into the morning in a light-soaked bedroom. Smart blinds can open and close at a particular time and you can control them right from your smartphone. You can also control them when youre away from home to create the illusion youre home for added security.
