Refrigerators get into the action too. Never stand in the store wondering if you have milk in the fridge. Connected appliances let you know with a tap on a cellphone app. Tap to get the coffee pot brewing as you finish the last meeting of the day.

Tech-Enhanced Bathroom Remodels
Spa-inspired bathroom remodels continue to rule the day. But that doesn’t mean banning technology from the bathroom. To the contrary, utilized smartly, modern smart technology enhances the experience.
Smart Bidet Toilets
One little-known impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is its effect on home design. People remodeled like crazy. Bathroom remodels incorporated more technology and addressed hygiene and toilet paper shortages at the same time.
Meet the smart bidet toilet! These bathroom fixtures come from many manufacturers at a wide variety of price points. They feature goodies like heated seats, bidet washing, and even automatic flushing and cleaning. Trust us, once you’ve taken advantage of a smart toilet, you won’t go any other way. Because these toilets require electricity, be sure to mention to your bathroom remodeler that you want a smart toilet.

Smart Thermostats
Every home needs a smart thermostat for the most control and energy efficiency. The Nest introduced the technology now incorporated in thermostats made by other companies. Smart thermostats give you the freedom and flexibility to program your home from anywhere. The latest models pair with Alexa or Siri to add voice control. Keep your home at a steady temperature or raise or lower it based on the number of occupants. You have the power, no matter where you may be.
Smart Home Security
Video surveillance tops the want list when it comes to smart home technology. Brands like Ring allow you to see who is at your front door and talk to them through an integrated speaker system. Some models empower you to set up neighborhood alerts and record interactions.
Smart Outlets
Inspired Remodels loves Swidgets. These outlets allow you to endlessly customize your smart home features. With interchangeable inserts, easily change what happens at each outlet as needs, wants, or desires change. For example, are you welcoming a baby into your home and need a camera in the new room? There’s a Swidget for that. Want to add a USB charger to an outlet without having the change the outlet itself? There’s a Swidget for that, too!

Let Moen automatically monitor water pressure and flow, and you can worry about something else. Get real-time notifications from the cell phone app.
Improved Matte Black for Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Design shows on HGTV, design magazines, and Pinterest fueled the resurgence of matte black finishes. Unfortunately, the finish didn’t stand up to the demand.
