LED & Night Lights

From video doorbells to voice-activated virtual assistants, advancing technology has reached every corner of the home. Embracing the swathe of “smart” devices that have hit the market in recent years will save you time and money (goodbye, excessive energy bills). “Lighting such as smart LED bulbs and strip lights make up almost 70 per cent of smart home purchases globally, followed by voice automated devices, then security systems,” says David Linehan, Home Automation Buyer at The Good Guys. But with so much on offer, where do you start? Here’s how to start creating a smart home.

No room at home to set up a productive home office? Then it’s time to section off space in your garage and equip it with the tech you need to succeed. Residential design specialist Bronwyn Aldridge says homeowners are increasingly looking to their garages to transform underutilised space into functional (and fancy!) real estate.

“Working or studying from home is a regular fixture in many people’s week, so they’re looking at their homes very differently,”  Bronwyn says. “If you’ve got a two-car garage and only one car, or a carport outside, it’s a no-brainer to use that extra space for a home office.”
