Modern homes today should be a technology-friendly environment. New advancements and appliances make our lives easier than ever and should be seamlessly added to any new home. You should be wired (and wireless) for everything a modern home requires. If you’re ready for a modern update and new design, make sure you add these details to keep technology wired into your everyday living.
Web Access
Many of today’s consumer electronics technologies are now web-inclusive. This means your home should include internet access throughout, whether through built-in wiring of Ethernet, or through Wi-Fi access points all around the home. Even in a large house, homeowners may have excuses for not having Wi-Fi extending to all points. If you do have a large space consider an internet repeater or antennae which can spread the signal throughout various rooms in the home. When guests visit, they should be able to seamlessly integrate their smart phones or other internet-capable devices with your network. Perhaps a temporary lift on the password can be sufficient to allow guests to freely use the network, or a small note on each closet door added for guest’s convenience.

or Hulu or connected devices that allow you to access internet on the TV itself. These are great ways to entertain those living in the home, and guests who may visit. Flat panels in large gathering areas are also great types of devices that lend atmosphere to this kind of digital entertainment. Make sure your surround sound devices are properly installed and can reach the ears of everyone on the couch.Lighting and Temperature Options
It is always a great idea to have various types of lighting and t temperatures appropriate to certain types of settings. For example, during a daytime children’s party, you might want to have the air conditioning turned to a cool setting and have the lighting bright and cheerful. And maybe during an evening viewing of your favorite movie, you might want the house a bit warmer and the lights dimmer to enjoy the show. Temperature options might allow for a smart air conditioner thermostat unit. These allow programmable features that can learn the users’ preferences of home, and can be controlled outside the house by smartphones and the like. These can be useful in determining what kind of temperatures the homeowner prefers, and even help save money on the power bill.
Shutters and/or curtains will be something to consider to keep out unwanted light during the night or day and to help save on temperature costs. Smart curtain control is also available in a technology-friendly home. Large windows might require Miami plantation shutters, while smaller ones could be left open to provide light and save on electricity. Go through each room and find where the sun hits hottest and longest. These windows should be outfitted with blackout or dark curtains to keep the whole house more comfortable.
