The future is now! That’s not an exaggeration, back in the day sci-fi nerds and futurists alike predicted a future of automated homes, handheld video communication and fancy gadgets that hold more information than you could imagine… And while we’re hardly living in the world of Star Trek, we do have most of those things today.
What people could only imagine, 30-40 years ago, are everyday pieces of technology that none of us give a second thought to. Sure everything isn’t finished in a futuristic mono-chrome and we don’t have evil robots (as far as we know), but lots of things we take for granted now, would have blown the average person’s mind 30-odd years ago.
So, now that we’re comfortably living in the future, how can you make your home more like the sci-fi homes we used to see on Tomorrow’s World? Well read on to find out as we look over some futuristic décor gadgets you need in your home, to make you feel like you really are living in the future!
Show Off Pictures With Smart Frames
Family pictures and photos from your life journey all make excellent décor accessories, giving your home a personal touch, but if you don’t enjoy buying frames for each picture, we have the gadget for you! Smart frames, are a smart screen device, that you can hang like a normal photo frame, but rather than showing just one image, it will rotate through different images you upload onto it, which will keep your home looking fresh as it periodically updates what’s on display!
Let the Light in With Electric Blinds
Next up, we have remote controlled electric blinds, which are basically the same as normal roller blinds, except that they’re controlled by remote control rather than hand operated. This means you can link the window blinds in your home up to open and close on demand. While this gadget isn’t the fanciest by any stretch, they’re a handy gadget that will make your day to day life simpler!
Reflect On Yourself With Smart Mirrors
When you’re brushing your teeth in the morning, wouldn’t it be good if you could get the latest news, check on traffic for your commute and be informed of the weather while you’re staring into the mirror? Well this is no longer a fantasy thanks to smart mirrors, which act like normal mirrors but also have the bells and whistles you expect from ‘smart gadgets’ like streaming videos, playing music and the ability to control other smart devices in your home.
Brighten Up Your Home With Smart Lamps
Finally, we have smart lights, which are a funky little gadget, basically they operate like a normal light, but you can control how bright it is and what colour the light is from an app or with smart voice commands. Not only do these lights give your more options and flexibility than traditional lights, they may also be more energy efficient as they usually use LED lights, which have a lower power consumption than traditional bulbs.
