With our homes being the place where we feel comfortable on a daily basis, there is nothing better than going home after a long hard day to relax and enjoy your own space. It’s natural for us to do just that. We all want the best setups in our homes possible and technology has played a key part in this. As technology has developed so rapidly over the past couple of decades, we now find ourselves wanting to get the latest technology, integrating them directly and seamlessly into our homes. So much so, at times other people won’t even know it’s there.When you truly think about it, technology is now being integrated into rooms, spaces and even entire properties. Our bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms more are seeing the benefits on technologies being integrated throughout our homes.
If you ever find yourself lacking ideas of what technologies to integrate here are some awesome designs to show you what you’re missing out on.

This beautiful counter-depth refrigeration unit slides nicely into this custom design kitchen. Not only does it take up a large amount of space, but it does so quietly, with how accurately, it’s slotted into its own space.
Integrated home systems are becoming increasingly popular. They are technologies that can be simply integrated around our homes which tend to have more traditional heating system methods. Imagine being able to control your home heating from a more central thermostat system or even from your mobile. Nests heating system technology does just that and allows you to control your heating from wherever you are. Including from your mobile phone, so you can ensure the heating is on coming back home on a cold winter’s day. A classic example of game changing technology being integrated into our homes.

This European walnut cabinet has been custom designed to embed the bedroom TV unit, so much so it hides away. This unit holds a 46-inch TV and the cabinet functionality has been built into the TV remote. Turning on the TV automatically raises the TV out of the cabinet with a custom-built mechanism.
In addition to these exciting ideas, there are many more technologies being custom designed and integrated into our homes which include:
- Dishwasher

As the interest in interior design increases rapidly, we’re becoming more and more creative with what we want in our homes; technology and custom designs are at the heart of it all. From the way I see it, most technologies can be integrated, you’ll just need someone willing to carrying out the custom designed job for you.
