The humble bathroom is evolving into a haven of relaxation and technological innovation. Smart technology is revolutionising the way we interact with our bathrooms, offering a range of benefits that enhance both comfort and convenience. We’ve got smart tech in just about every other room in the home, so why not the bathroom too!
Smart Toilets: A New Era of Cleanliness
Smart toilets are a prime example of bathroom technology taking a significant leap forward. Equipped with features like automatic lid opening and closing, heated seats, and built-in bidets, these toilets offer a level of comfort and hygiene that traditional toilets simply cannot match. Some models, like the Johnson Suisse Listo Smart Toilet Rimless Suite, even have a presence sensor, so it can anticipate the user opening the lid before you even sit down. Depending on your budget, there’s an option to suit everyone. With smart lids starting at just $200, there’s no reason to NOT have a smart toilet (if that’s your cup of tea).
Technology-Infused Bathroom Mirrors: More Than Just Reflections
These mirrors are more than just reflective surfaces. They’re equipped with LED lighting that casts a soft, flattering glow, eliminating harsh overhead lighting. This innovative design creates a more inviting and luxurious bathroom atmosphere, perfect for those who want to feel their best. We love how the Vista LED Mirror 500x900mm casts a soft warm glow that is ever so flattering on the appearance. This removes the need for overhead lighting which is the culprit for casting harsh unflattering shadows. Quite accessible in pricing, an LED mirror is an easy upgrade anyone can make to make their bathroom feel smarter.
Heated Towel Rails: A Luxurious Touch
While smart showers aren’t so much a thing (yet?), there are still ways you can use technology to elevate your bathroom experience. Heated towel rails, for example, offer a luxurious touch, warming your towels after a refreshing shower. This simple addition can significantly enhance your daily routine, and can make you feel like you’re at a day spa! Depending on the size of your family, you can install as many as you like, creating a ‘ladder’ of towel rails.
Underfloor Heating: A Luxurious Touch
Underfloor heating systems provide a consistent, comfortable warmth throughout your bathroom, making it a more pleasant space to spend time in. They can be controlled with a smart thermostat, like the Radiant Glass Fronted Premium Touch Screen Thermostat, Vertical Mount allowing you to adjust the temperature to your preference. This is a feature which is often thought to be quite expensive and unattainable, however, most people are shocked to learn the cost is much lower than it seems. You can pick the thermostat up for around $200AUD.
The Benefits of Smart Bathrooms
Smart technology can transform your bathroom into a serene and efficient space. By incorporating smart devices, you can create a personalised experience that caters to your specific needs and preferences. From the convenience of voice-activated controls to the luxury of underfloor heating, smart bathrooms offer a range of benefits that can enhance your daily routine.
As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovative and exciting bathroom products to emerge. By embracing smart technology, we can create bathrooms that are not only functional but also stylish and luxurious.
