Our home is our sanctuary. It’s a place where we should feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, minimising chores and inconveniences as much as possible. Smart living helps us achieve this, be it by using smart appliances or introducing clever spatial planning and innovative solutions to make our lives better.
While many people associate smart living with neon lights and trendy young couples with smart TVs, smart living is much more than that and can absolutely be beneficial (and enjoyable) at any age.
Whether you’re a newlywed couple, you’ve got toddlers at home or you’re living with elderly relatives, here are some innovative smart home ideas to suit any household and lifestyle.
USE A PULL-OUT DESK
If you're working from home often but don't have space to turn an entire room into an office, consider a pull-out tray table instead. Just pull up a chair and get to work, then tuck the table away again when it’s not in use.
CONSIDER WALL-MOUNTED STORAGE
Your pots and pans don't need to be inside kitchen cabinets. You can hang your cookware on wallmounted storage hooks to save space. If you have designer cookware or beautiful copper pots, this can also make for a stylish design statement.
