Home Inspiration

Your home can be improved in a multitude of ways, but there are certain paths you can take that allow you to invest your money for maximum results. In this article, we'll suggest some ideas.

Underfloor Heating 

It's a winter morning, the alarm beeps, and you roll out of bed. Your feet hit the floor and you are immediately met with an ice-cold shock. With underfloor heating, this situation can be avoided, providing pleasant warmth not only on the floor but around the entire room, without the need for additional heating. 

People also invest in underfloor heating because of the long-term savings in energy costs. It uses less energy than other traditional methds, and will cost you less to keep warm.

Automate Your Home

You're sitting at your desk and you wish to close the blinds, turn on the lights and switch on the air-conditioner without leaving your seat. All of this is possible with the touch of a button, either on a remote or even your smart device!

Doesn't that sound wonderful? Many Australian families think it does, which is why they have chosen to go with home automation as their first step to improving their home.

A great first step into home automaiton is with Somfy. Motorised roller shutters, awnings, and even blinds can all be automated. Set blinds on a schedule or let your window coverings react to the outside environment with sensors! This technological revolution will make quite an impact on your friends when they come to visit, and will certainly increase the value of your home should you ever choose to sell or rent.

Smart Lighting

The lights are too bright as they are, but turning them off will make the room too dark. The solution, and a premium way to improve your home? Investing in smart lighting. Smart lighting gives you the ability to customise your lighting. Using Connexoon Window RTS, you can control your RTS-enabled indoor or outdoor lighting, as well as Phillips HUE lights! You can even control the colour, or the brightness of your smart lighting to help create the perfect ambiance. You'll be able to enjoy mood lighting, at the touch of a button.

Exterior Improvements

When improving your home, don't forget to consider the outside of it. Are you satisfied with your windows, and the security that they offer? If your answer is no, you should consider investing in this.

Roller shutters strongly improve the security of your home, and can even be motorised for your convenience, allowing you to control them from a remote and a smartphone. No more needing to get out of bed to check whether they're closed - it can all be done on your phone.

The knowledge that you have correctly invested in your security, and that you won't have to get out of bed to check, will hopefully help you sleep better at night.

There are many different routes you could take to improve your home. If you are interested in securing your home or taking the first step into home automation with Somfy, speak to your local Somfy Expert Retailer today.
