Technology has changed the possibilities for the kitchen. It’s a long way in the past from iceboxes, ice cubes, and timers for kitchens that tick, and if the design of your kitchen is on your schedule, make sure you consider the technology aspect. Some Ottawa Home Pros ideas that’ll make your kitchen stylish.
Google Home/ Alexa
With hands-free devices, such as Google Home and Alexa, you can set up multiple timers and quickly access recipes, and have the recipes read out to you. Cooking becomes much more accessible and fun– ask your device to play a podcast or make a “Kitchen” playlist to ensure that you can listen to your favorite tunes while working.
Charging Stations
We get struck by the ease of moving phones cameras, tablets, and other devices into a built-in charging station concealed in drawers. It helps free up counter space and ensures that your devices remain entirely charged. They also get kept away from view (and maybe away from your thoughts).
Faucets That Get Activated by Touch
These could be the most practical of the kitchen technological inventions. With a touch-activated faucet, it is possible to turn the water off and on at the touch of your wrist or arm. It’s ideal for when your hands are dirty as you do not want more mess when trying to clean them.
Hidden Screens
Small screens for televisions or tablets can aid in cooking or entertaining. You can create a shelving space or be creative by placing a screen in the kitchen cabinet. All that is left is connecting the cable and making a place for wiring.
Kitchen Appliances
While you don’t necessarily need modern appliances for your kitchen, they are entertaining. If you’re looking to push kitchen technology to the next level, go for a fridge equipped with a touchscreen as well as the capability of streaming music. You can also get a cooktop that you can control using your phone and trash can you open with the swipe of your hand and microwaves that are customizable to its preferences based on how you use it. Be aware that technology changes quickly, and high-tech appliances in the kitchen may need replacing faster than their less-technical counterparts.
Device Bowl
Okay, so this one’s not high-tech. However, it gets designed meant for the tech. We like the idea of having a large bowl in the middle of your dining table. It means that anyone who eats dinner must put mobile within the bowl. It guarantees an entirely tech-free meal and a lively conversation with eye contact, and a refreshing break from technology.
Kitchen technology can help do cooking and working in the kitchen less stressful and more enjoyable, so when you’re thinking about your kitchen’s design, be sure to take into consideration those Ottawa home pros.
