Our homes are becoming smarter and more switched on as the years roll by, meaning technology is becoming an even bigger part of our lives. This year, there’s even more tech to look out for – either to integrate into your home or upgrade something you may already have. So, take a look at our top picks for 2025 to make your daily life that little bit easier.
Massage Chairs
After a long day or an intense workout, there is nothing better than sinking into your very own massage chair. We’ve seen the rise of at-home massage guns, but a massage chair kicks things up a notch. It can either be a standalone piece of furniture or something that attaches to an existing chair, but now you can even find AI-powered ones that target your specific stress points. There’s nothing better for watching TV in the evenings.
Smart Speakers
A solid sound system can make listening to your favourite tunes that bit more enjoyable – especially while taking care of chores around the home.
Something with clear sound and voice control can provide the best sound quality and a hands-free way to control what’s playing. Many now have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi integrations, so you can hook up multiple speakers to stream your music throughout the home.
Security Cameras
It’s hard to put a price on safety, especially when it comes to your own home. Installing smart security cameras around the outside and inside of your home is now a lot simpler, providing peace of mind at night and whenever you’re not home. Many smart doorbells also include a camera that records who comes and goes, as well as being able to be remotely activated to check on what’s happening at home.
Smart Lighting
Controlling the lighting in your home can help set the ambience, keep an eye on your costs, and switch off lights you may have forgotten about after heading to work. There are even ones that allow you to change the hue at will, matching the colour scheme of a room and allowing you to set the perfect intensity when playing mobile games like online bingo. Smart lights can also be set on a timer to help put off burglars while you’re away from home, or even gradually turn on so you can have a gentler morning routine in winter.
Picking up the latest gadgets isn’t just about having top-of-the-line tech – it can make your home more comfortable, safer and easier to manage. So why not think about one area to invest in and start making the most of the smart home technologies on the market?
