Clarksville TN Interior Design Dictated By Increase In Smart Home Technologies – Beautiful, technology-rich homes are becoming increasingly popular in Tennessee. Thanks to the increased availability of the Internet of Things and other hi-tech devices that are rapidly changing just about every aspect of our daily lives. As recently as two decades ago, technology would have been a mere afterthought as far as interior design is concerned. It would only be once an entire room was painted and furnished from top to bottom than a few appliances or tech gadgets would be added according to need more than desire. Today much has changed, with complete home interiors being inspired by the last technological trends.
Here’s a closer look at just three ways in which tech has become the driving force behind the modern, luxury interior design.
Why is Smart Home Technologies fast gaining popularity?
An increasing number of homes boast smart technology that controls a range of design features. Such as temperature control, lighting, security, and a host of indulgent appliances and gadgets. Thanks to smart innovations such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, luxury homes are becoming more connected by the day. These systems act as the vocal liaison between you and your smart home, allowing you to control all your smart devices from a central point.
Integrated technology already being developed
It has been predicted that, in the not-too-distant future, instead of being add-ons to our homes, smart interiors will be incorporated into a structure. The kitchen is one area where smart technology is developing at break-neck speed. Italian design company Tipic has already pioneered smart kitchen. With integrations that include a quartz worktop that features a sink that appears as if by magic when you wave your hand in front of a sensor. Soon they hope to also introduce smart induction hubs that are built directly into the worktop. When building a smart kitchen, the entire interior design, incorporating choices of appliances, will revolve around a structure such as this.

Tech not only limited to the kitchen
Although the kitchen is inherently known as the heart of the home, it is not the only room in the house that features interior design dictated by technology. A modern-day, luxury living room is a far cry from the ones you would have seen twenty years ago. Where you would once purchase your television and other parts of your home entertainment system after you have everything else in the room in its place, more homeowners will now design an entire room around a single piece of hi-tech equipment. For example, have you seen a giant OLED TV you absolutely had to have? But unfortunately, it won’t fit on your existing wall unit. No problem! Now you can get rid of the wall unit. Mount the TV directly on the wall and in turn, you can invest in a new couch for optimal viewing pleasure.
What about the bathroom and bedroom?
If you think that the humble bathroom has escaped the technological revolution, think again. Smart showerheads, scales, water mixers, and mirrors are slowly making their way into the bathrooms of luxury homes. Often necessitating a complete overhaul in the interior design of the bathrooms. Many modern bedrooms are designed in a similar fashion, ensuring that the layout and decor all support and complement the latest home tech that can include anything from a flat-screen TVs to SMART Window Coverings and ambient lighting.
