Modern Day Ingenuity: Best Tech and Gadgets to Transform Your Bathroom into a High-End Spa

There are more innovations available for bathrooms and kitchens than for any other part of the house. If you find yourself dreaming about a bathroom that has everything, these ideas show you how far you can go.

 

A toilet that takes charge

 

Not long ago, it used to be that only Japanese sanitaryware designers tried to put technology into everything. Today, you can find high-tech toilets in Britain that equal anything that Japan has. From self-cleaning and auto-flush abilities to app-controlled heated seats and iPad-like touchscreen control surfaces, you get every unnecessary and yet delightful feature that you could want, if you’re willing to part with a few thousand pounds.

 

A shower that would intimidate James Bond

 

If you’ve never experimented with different shower patterns, you need to know what you’re missing. Grohe, for instance, has its Ring Shower 360 showerhead, that offers a number of water flow options. More importantly, the showerhead contains supplemental heating elements that make sure that there is never a surprise temperature change.

 

Shower enclosures are good for more than just showers. You can bathe in a chromatherapy mood lighting system, or install a shower massage system. If you can put in a tub with an air bath system, you could have fun with air bubble massages too.

 

Touchless technology

 

There is no reason why people should continue to buy conventional manual taps anymore, considering how affordable touchless technology is today. You can set up the temperature the way you want it once, and then have the tap turn on at the right temperature on its own. Digital taps also optimize flow efficiency. These taps use very little water, but you wouldn’t know, using it. Flow control makes good sense for the environment.

 

Intelligent lighting

 

Plenty of people get up in the middle of the night to use the toilet. When you do this, you rarely want to turn the light on full blast. You may choose to stumble around in the dark, instead. This is unnecessary when you install intelligent lighting. Not only do these systems turn the lights on automatically when you step in, they dim the lights late at night as well.

 

Finally, a couple of sensible ideas

 

If the ideas above seem over-the-top, there are many sensible technology ideas too that you could invest in. A refrigerated medicine cabinet is one of them. Kitting out every family member with power Oral B toothbrushes is another. At a time when a significant part of the population suffers from overbrushing injuries, power toothbrushes make sure that you never wear your teeth and gums out.

 

If you plan to sell your home one day, tech additions are likely to help raise the price it fetches. Recent studies have revealed that three out of four homebuyers pay more for homes with smart features.
