Modernize Your Home For Your Next Stage Of Life
If you’re looking for a big change in life, there’s no better way to start than in the home. Here are some ways you can modernize your home for your next stage in life.
Motion-Sensor Lighting
There are a lot of things that can be said about why you should include motion-sensor lighting when planning for your house upgrade.
It saves you money by reducing your energy consumption. In this day and age of environmental consciousness, not to mention skyrocketing utility cost, every cost-saving we can have counted. And motion-sensitive lights is one huge cost saving. No more light bulbs left turned on in attics, garages, or other small spaces around the house. Bulbs also last longer.
Smart Kitchen Appliances
Next to consider when it comes to revamping your home life as well as life in general, would be to prioritize convenience. The older and wiser we get, we will come to realize how precious time is to us and that we should spend it on important things, not mundane and irrelevant things.
The smart appliance revolution started in the kitchen. We are seeing smart refrigerators able to notify when we’re low on milk and other ingredients. Smart coffee-makers immediately start brewing so we wake up to a fresh brew every morning. It’s safe to say we live in a time where convenience is just within our grasp and I say we should take full advantage of that.
Automated Bathroom Fixtures
The last thing we would ever dream of automating might be the bathroom. There’s something about electronics and proximity to water that just doesn’t sit well in our logical brain. But alas, technology has stepped in to make it all possible. Think hands-free or touchless faucet. You never have to dirty your knobs ever again from washing your hands after using the toilet.
Speaking of toilets, the latest craze seems to be on smart toilets. These ones don’t require you to use toilet paper ever again. They have temperature-controlled water, heated seat, spritzing wands, and some models even come with automatic dryers.
Let’s be Practical
This article doesn’t just tackle the latest innovation when it comes to modernizing the home. Modernizing also involves being practical. If you are looking for a big change and want to reflect that in your home, there are a number of ways you can achieve that without breaking the bank trying to get the latest and trendiest gadget.
Get rid of the tub
A tub has been a mainstay in many bathrooms for decades but is it really worth the price and maintenance? Let’s face it, it’s barely ever used. It’s a waste of precious water. And it requires a lot of maintenance. Instead, consider a walk-in shower or even a zero-entry shower with no threshold on the floor for easy access.
Upping your security
We can’t be too careful nowadays. We have threats coming from every direction. As part of your transition to a different chapter in life, consider boosting your home priority. Even installing a basic spy camera with the audio system around your premises is enough to deter burglary and trespassing.
