From the moment you wake up to when you return from work to when you go to bed, there are household items that can enhance your comfort.

Waking Up With Tech
Imagine it’s the start of the work week, but the sun has yet to flood your bedroom in natural light.
When it’s time to get up, your sunrise alarm clock from Philips or Dekala imitates the rising sun by slowly increasing the brightness in your room.
Well-rested, you open your eyes to a beautiful glow and reach for your smartphone. No need to unplug it—it’s charging on a wireless station. You can use Courant if you like leather, UCOMX if you need to charge three devices simultaneously, or JoyGeek if you want it to double as a phone stand.
Now, it’s time to get out of bed. You slide your cold feet into some heated slippers with adjustable heat settings from Hammacher Schlemmer or Good Life and make your way to the bathroom.
Getting Ready for the Day With Tech
In the bathroom, you go about your daily routine, rinsing your face with water using a smart faucet like one from Moen. Ask your touchless, voice-activated faucet to make the water 10 degrees warmer as you wash your face.
Your Hum or Orbit smart toothbrush tracks your teeth to ensure you clean them thoroughly. It alerts you when to switch to a different section of your teeth.
A shower sounds nice, so you use your voice-activated showerhead from Moen or Kohler to set the water to the perfect temperature. It notifies you when it’s ready for you to hop in.
You jam out to your favorite playlist with the showerhead’s built-in speaker, or you use a waterproof speaker like Ampere Shower Power that you can attach to your showerhead and recharge with running water.
After your relaxing shower, you reach for a towel from your bucket towel warmer from ForPro or Zadro and dry yourself off.
Feeling refreshed, you look in your smart mirror from LOAAO or CHARMOR as you do your makeup or shaving routine. With front and back lights and an anti-fog feature, your mirror lets you catch imperfections crisply and easily.
You check the time and weather on your mirror to make sure you’re on schedule and prepared for the day.
Now you’re hungry and could go for some coffee. After getting dressed, you head to the kitchen.
Breakfast With Tech
Your stomach is rumbling, and you want some eggs and toast. Using your rapid egg cooker from Elite Gourmet or Dash, you quickly whip up eggs any way you like. The device shuts off on its own.
Your bread crisps up to an undefeated crunch with a touchscreen toaster from Revolution or KETIAN that sears the surface but leaves the inside soft.
Coffee sounds good, too—maybe a latte or an espresso. You make whatever you please with a De’Longhi coffee maker and espresso machine or a voice-activated Atomi smart coffee maker. Wanting some foam, you use your electric milk frother from Bodum or Paris Rhône.
Using your phone or a voice command, you open your Lutron’s Serena smart blinds just enough to let in the sun’s peeking light, or you let them come up on their own with automated blinds from SmarterHome.
As you enjoy your breakfast, you ask your voice assistant to read the news. Satisfied, you grab your things and head to work.
Coming Home From Work With Tech
A long day at work calls for a relaxing evening. As you come home, your Google Nest or Ecobee smart thermostat tracks your phone’s location and sets the house to the ideal temperature by the time you walk inside. It can sense humidity, motion, and light to create the ultimate comfort zone after a long day.
It’s time to settle down with some hot tea and watch TV. You use an electric kettle from COSORI to boil your water within five minutes. Or you use a GoveeLife smart kettle that you control with your phone. Add some honey to the tea in a self-stirring mug, and you’re ready to enjoy.
You grab your SofaBaton universal smart remote that can connect to 50 different entertainment devices, and you play soft music from multiple connected Sonos speakers throughout the house.
Making your way to the living room, you start up a smart TV like the Samsung Frame TV that previously blended into your decor to look like a painting on the wall. With voice activation, you navigate to your favorite show.
You might even curl up on the sofa with a heated blanket in front of a tabletop fireplace. It gets a little warm, so you lower the heat setting on your blanket.
After an hour or so, you’re hungry again.
Dinner With Tech
Luckily, you have plenty of options for making dinner.
You could use a multi-use pizza oven from Ooni in the backyard or make soup with an automatic UÜTENSIL stirrer that has a built-in timer.
You could even make one of many dishes with ChefRobot, which self-cleans and has a chopper, steamer, boiler, kneader, juicer, and scale.
Or you could follow one of the hundreds of guided recipes on the multifunctional Cooking Pal food processor’s screen. It also has over 15 cooking functions.
Chicken, rice, and vegetables sounds like a plan, so you follow a guided recipe. With a multifunctional food processor, making an enjoyable meal has never been faster or easier.
Once you prepare your meal, you enjoy it with sparkling water you make using a personal water carbonator like Aarke or SodaStream.
When you finish, you clean some dishes with an electric spin scrubber that has two spin speeds and an automatic detergent dispenser. You put any remaining dishes away in a smart dishwasher like GE, which you control with your phone and has built-in Wi-Fi.
You ask your voice assistant to dim the smart light bulbs in your kitchen and activate a smart diffuser like the NEST Pura so you can enjoy a calming environment as you wind down before bed.
Going to Bed With Tech
After getting into some comfy clothes before bed, you use your phone to turn on a sunset lamp projector for a warm, glowing ambiance in your bedroom.
Tucked in bed now, you use your remote scroller to scroll through social media or a digital book reader on your phone without taking your arms out from under the covers. It’s small and wraps around your finger for easy navigation at the click of a button.
When you’re ready to go to sleep, you use your phone to activate a smart humidifier. It makes it easier to fall asleep by adding moisture to the air, and then it shuts off on its own.
You wear a Perytong or Musicozy sleep headband that plays music or white noise to help guide you to sleep.
You wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom—but no worries. The motion-activated strip lights under your bed illuminate the way in the dark with a soft glow.
