In the past few decades, technology has been slowly making its way into every aspect of the home. From voice controlled devices to automatic doors, and smart appliances, the bathroom is no longer a utilitarian space; it has evolved into a high-tech haven of relaxation and convenience. With a new era of bathrooms are just beyond the horizon, here are 4 high-tech essentials to consider adding to your bathrooms in 2024.
Smart Toilets
The porcelain throne has become a lot more clever in recent years, designed to elevate hygiene, cleanliness, and overall user experience. The toilets of today are equipped with futuristic features like motion control, voice activation, water-saving capabilities, app control, and even self-cleaning technology — ensuring homeowners can conduct their business in peace without worry.
Smart Shower Systems
A shower should feel like a lavish form of self care rather than your everyday routine. With pre-set temperature and waterflow settings, smart shower systems give homeowners the freedom to personalise each shower to best suit their wants and needs. Many smart shower systems also offer water-saving features that will help ensure that you’re using your water efficiently – which is an added bonus if you’re trying to live a little sustainably.
Smart Mirrors
More than just a reflective surface, smart mirrors are now interactive canvases geared towards optimising daily routines. Integrated with touchscreens, LED lighting, and built-in speakers, homeowners are given a host of futuristic options that provide up-to-the-minute information on the latest news and reports. And thanks to cross system compatibility, most smart bathroom systems can work together — meaning that your smart mirror can also serve as the control hub for your bathroom.
Automated Taps
Smart tech you’ve likely seen before, automated taps may not bring something new to the table, but no smart home is complete without one. Automated taps are a great way to optimise hygiene while saving water with a tap that can automatically turn off when not in use. Some taps can even be programmed to be activated via a smartphone app or voice control, further improving the overall quality of life for homeowners on a daily basis.
However, with any new form of technology we encourage that homeowners do a little homework before jumping head first into a renovation. We suggest heading over to our website where you can find our Style Finder, Bathroom Inspirator, Bathroom Planner or our Augmented Reality App which can help you lay the foundation for the high-tech haven of your dreams.
