Over time, technology has become more and more integrated into our everyday lives, especially in our homes. Smart homes and automated appliances are growing in popularity, so it’s important to know how you can use smart technology in your home. Adding smart technology to your fitted furniture increases both its functionality and its aesthetic, allowing you to be comfy while staying connected. In this blog, we’ll explore the different ways smart home technology can be integrated into fitted furniture for your home.  

Smart wardrobes

Smart fitted wardrobes have integrated lighting and motion sensors to offer more style and convenience to your wardrobes. They can be an eye-catching feature of the room or more of a hidden gem, but whichever one you choose, they offer the same practicality. Having smart lighting in your fitted wardrobes allows you to see your clothes easily during the early mornings or the late nights. Installing fitted wardrobe interiors with motion sensor lighting is also energy efficient, as they are only activated when necessary. Moreover, it adds an aspect of elegance to any room with its sleek and perfectly fitted design to give any room some added style. 

Charging desks

Fitted office furniture can transform any room into a practical home office, but adding smart home features can give it the finishing touch it needs. A smart desk is perfect for people that work from home to provide a comfortable and efficient workspace. You can integrate built-in chargers, USB ports, cable management, and more. This fitted furniture item is perfect for today’s modern office, where connectivity is key. Having a smart desk also means that it’s fully customisable, so you can plug in what you need for the day and remove it when you’re done. Also, the practicality of fitted office furniture allows you to maximise the space in your home.  

Illuminated shelving units

Fitted shelving units are a great way to add extra storage to any room, and adding LED lighting can add to the design to help them complement the overall style and décor of the room. With endless customisation options available, this type of fitted furniture can be used to transform your bedroom or living room. Adding lighting to the shelving units creates an ambiance to match any time of day, as you can change the lighting’s colour or brightness easily through an app on your phone. LED lights are energy efficient and have a long lifespan.

Entertainment centres

Another smart home fitted furniture item is entertainment centres. These create a striking focal point in any living space and are designed to draw attention to your television while still providing functionality through fitted storage. Having a bespoke TV unit allows you to add many smart home features, such as hidden speakers, a smart TV, or an electric fireplace. The additional storage space of the entertainment centre can also be used to create an ornamental feature of the room by adding books, artwork, or candles to the shelves, allowing you to minimise clutter and add your own personal style. Many bespoke TV units also include LED lighting to create a relaxed ambience for the room.
