10 Tech Updates To Reboot Your Life

Modern technology and smart appliances are revolutionising our homes and our lives – here are the latest and greatest for every room of your home

- Holly Byrne

There is much more to ‘smart home’ appliances than a talking speaker. It’s 2021, after all – instead, think about to-the-degree precision cooking, transforming televisions and a sleek, steel wardrobe that will smooth out your suit overnight. “Smart appliances are truly life-changing,” declares Marine Pestel, marketing director at Tefal. “Innovations today are based on digital technology, and this new era is opening up amazing possibilities.” That is no exaggeration. From saving time to keeping things tidy and impressing your guests, there are plenty of benefits to behold when it comes to embracing innovation. More than ever, there isn’t a room in your home that can’t be ‘smart’.

1 TRANSFORMING TELEVISION

Design aficionados, rejoice! Not only does the latest release of Samsung’s The Frame TV convert to an artwork when it’s not in use – it has also banished the unsightly cord conundrum (above). Instead of a tangled mess, the One Clear Cable feature uses a single, translucent cable to connect to the Samsung ‘One Connect’ box which connects all of your devices, including power. Customisable frames for the television itself means it can be designed to suit any style of home seamlessly, and QLED display technology allows clear vision in any lighting. What does this mean? No more glare.
