Begin with a palette of fresh whites, chic greys and chrome accents in the bedroom. Smart devices typically come in these colours, making integration easy with this calm and airy palette. “A light grey electronic alarm clock-cum-phone charging dock blends in nicely beside a grey bed, for instance. And smart light bulbs fit into most lighting designs while allowing you to easily change up the mood in the room,” explains Rebecca.

“If you have a wind down routine, take that into account too. For example, a TV bed sounds indulgent but can be quite practical for a modern lifestyle. Especially if you enjoy guided meditations before sleep or even just to cosy up with a feel-good series.”

Bring in warmth through soft furnishings like a fabric bed frame, cosy wool throws and curtain layers. “Automated curtains are a lovely smart feature for the bedroom so you can wake up with the gentle sunrise streaming in if that’s something you’d enjoy,” she adds. 

Besides comfy materials, clear surfaces and minimal clutter promote a calming feel. “A chic white wardrobe with a full-length mirror instantly brightens a space. Match it with white gloss and chrome bedside drawers as stylish and cohesive storage solutions,” says Rebecca.

Create a bright, streamlined kitchen-diner using a contemporary palette of fresh whites. Keep the design sleek and minimal with a white gloss and chrome dining set, matching countertops and handleless cabinets. “Decorate your all-white space with elegant pendant lights and contemporary art to maintain a modern feel,” Rebecca says.

Recently, the kitchen has evolved to take on additional functions like a home office or study space. “Since so much time is spent here - from multiple meals to working through the day - it makes sense for the kitchen to be the smart home control centre,” she explains. For most smart home brands, all that involves is placing the hub device on an easily-accessible countertop.
