Upgrade to Smart Home Features
Have you kept up with the advancements in technology? We’ve definitely seen it change in the past ten to twenty years! From our computers to our phones, much of what we use has evolved to become more convenient and useful in so many ways. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we’ve rounded up a few of the latest popular gadgets to help improve home living. One might be a great fit for you!
Smart Appliances
Many people are frequently surprised to discover that modern appliances can be connected to a smart home to complete tasks even while you’re away. For example, you can preheat the oven or adjust its temperature from afar. Connected appliances include refrigerators, ovens, washers, and dryers.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
If we had a nickel for every person who told us they hated vacuuming! If you’re one of them, a robot vacuum might be just the thing for you. You can select one that has built-in sensors to “map” the room to ensure it hits all the floorspace. Or you might find one that allows you to schedule cleaning times, so you can run the vacuum while you’re away or even asleep. Plus, you might find one that will empty itself, so you don’t even have to lift a finger.
Pet Camera
If you have to leave your furry pal behind when you go to work, consider adding a pet camera so you can keep an eye on your pet while you’re away. Some of the higher-end options include microphones or treat dispensers, so you can interact with your pet while you’re away.
Automated Window Fashions
Window fashions are now automated as well! With PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas, you can raise and lower your window fashions based on a set schedule or through an app on your phone. This feature offers convenience, safety, and security. Here are a few highlights:
- Whole-Home Automation. This wireless technology integrates easily with many other smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Linking to one of these systems can let you use your voice to activate your window treatments’ movement.
- Child and Pet Safety. Motorization creates a safer environment for homes with young children and pets because no dangerous dangling cords are necessary.
- Battery Operation. Most PowerView motorized window treatments are battery-powered, so they’re easy to install, operate, and maintain. The battery pack is hidden behind the headrail so nothing will detract from the beauty of your window covering.
