Trends & Influences: Innovative Indulgence

The latest smart home gadgets and technologies may once have been considered a luxury or something reserved for the very elite of Silicon Valley, but most find it hard to imagine surviving without these technologies now. Of course, they’re now integrated not only into our daily lives but into the very fixtures we utilize. We’ve come to expect so many of our everyday appliances to be intuitive to our needs that basic appliances just won’t do anymore. It’s time to indulge in innovation. 

Life is simply made easier with faucet features like these. Touch and touchless kitchen faucets reduce the mess left behind as well as exposure to germs, while also saving water. A glass rinser means less time spent cleaning.

Imagine fresh, filtered water, hands free and at your fingertips whenever you need it. Water dispensers needn’t be restricted to the kitchen, and they add a contemporary touch to any space with features like LED backlights and glass fronts. Water can be provided wherever it is needed, and there is less waste with no more plastic water bottles.  

Improvements in bathroom technology mean the vanity mirror has become much more than just a medicine cabinet. Features like touch-controlled dimmable LED task lighting and Bluetooth or auxiliary-connected audio prepare the homeowner for the day ahead.  

Exhaust fans have come a long way from their older counter parts. Not only are they designed to be more aesthetically pleasing to blend in with the rest of the room, but they offer added benefits such as increased ventilation to prevent bacteria, mold, and fungi growth.  

Picture a shower that not only provides cleansing, but also an immersive experience — whether invigorating or relaxing. Innovations in shower and bathtub technology have made it possible to create a spa-like experience at home. Personalize sound, water, steam, and lighting. Add a handshower with an aroma therapy capsule. Luxury tubs with features like whirlpool hydrotherapy, air bath massage, and tubs that cradle the body to soothe muscles allow bathers to indulge in the privacy of home.  

Lighting innovations have shown that LED bulbs are not only the most efficient, but the most versatile as well. LED bulbs provide high-quality illumination and are available in a broad spectrum of colors - from cool white to warm. They are available in a variety of base sizes to fit the most popular fixture styles: from pendants to track lighting and vanity mirrors to sconces.

The notion of strictly utilitarian LED lights should be long gone by now. The latest generation of bulbs can be found in traditional shapes - including globes, candelabra, and the popular vintage Edison style - and many are dimmable. Many sophisticated fixtures are now created with LED lighting in mind.
