As we move further into 2023, homeowners are looking for ways to update their homes with the latest innovations in technology. From energy-efficient garage doors to smart kitchen countertops, there are multiple ways to upgrade your home in the new year. Keep reading to learn more about which technology you have at your disposal.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades for Your Home
Many households are focusing on the energy efficiency of their home, which is better for the environment and can reduce your monthly energy bill. You can make some simple tweaks to upgrade to more energy-efficiency models, like your garage door model. According to experts, homeowners can save up to 25% on their monthly energy bill by making this simple upgrade.
Electric kettles are also becoming more popular tools to boil water as homes shift to renewable resources. This might seem small, but home kitchens are being powered by electricity more and more, which will only grow over the next decade.
If you’ve still got traditional window coverings, it’s probably time to upgrade to ‘smart glass’ or switchable glass. Smart glass allows you to enjoy the sun’s light while maintaining your privacy. With an electrical charge, special materials inside the glass can change the window from clear to translucent or block out light entirely. The transformation can occur in seconds or minutes, depending on the glass. Some smart glass windows can change colors too, giving homeowners the option to change the ambiance of their room with a simple remote click.
Innovative Kitchen Technology for 2023
Many technological innovations revolve around the kitchen. As technology advances, there are more ways than ever to run your kitchen. Your countertops are one of the most noticeable parts of your kitchen. They’re where you prepare food, keep your electronic devices, plate your meals, and can even serve as an extra eating space.
Some people want their counters to have a desirable aesthetic, whereas others worry about the durability of the materials they are made of, but either way, they’re the focal point of the entire room. 2023 is a big year for renovating kitchen countertops, with 95% of homeowners saying they’ll be their top priority for renovations this year.
In the kitchen, multitasking water mixers will become more prevalent, offering chilled, boiled, and sparkling water, coffee, and milk on demand. Advanced filtration systems will also become more popular, with toxin sensors to ensure the safety of drinking water.
One major innovation to watch out for is the integrated kitchen app, which will act as a ‘kitchen OS’ that allows smart appliances to communicate with each other and even automate meal planning and cooking based on dietary needs and preferences. If you live alone, personal pots and pans, and portioned meals are a great way to prevent food waste without sacrificing the taste and quality of your meals.
Innovative Television Technology for 2023
Home innovations aren’t limited to appliances and energy efficiency. Chances are, you own at least one television in your home, although it’s more likely you have two or three. According to Television History, 99% of American homes own at least one television set, and 66% have at least three.
Television manufacturers have taken inspiration from Hollywood and incorporated 3-D technology into new TV sets. Unlike standard TVs that transmit images in two dimensions, height, and width, 3-D technology adds a third dimension: depth. Some networks have even begun broadcasting shows in 3-D.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen countertops, prioritize your home’s energy efficiency, or stream your favorite shows in 3D, home innovations can help you launch your home into the future. Explore the options above or consider other components you may be interested in updating.
