There’s no denying that smart appliances can make everything from cleaning to watching your favourite movies a lot more enjoyable. Here are some of our top picks for a more streamlined living room!
Motorised blinds
Whether you wish that your traditional blinds could open up on schedule or close all at once at the end of a long day, their motorised counterpart is what you’re looking for. Motorised blinds can be connected to smart assistants like Amazon and Google Home, both of which allow you to set schedules and operate the blinds from the comfort of your couch. Opt for smart blinds such as the ALTEX Top Down Bottom Up series from mc.2 for maximum control over daylight and privacy.
Wi-Fi systems
Don’t leave yourself hanging with a bad Wi-Fi connection. Replace your old router with a trusty Wi-Fi mesh system, such as the Netgear Orbi Tri-Band system, available from Harvey Norman. This handy mesh comes with a set of three connection points that you can spread out across your entire home, providing up to 4,000 square feet of your space with spotless connection.
THE BASICS
