Smart home or useful home accessories

Many people make their home in such a way that it is comfortable and safe to be in it. In this article, we will also consider useful accessories for the home, maybe you don’t know about them yet?!

Corridor

Entrance door.
It is best to stick a sticker on the door with the inscription “guarded”, as well as a light bulb above the door - this will create the appearance that this is a security camera. So, we go into an apartment or house and we have a corridor. The corridor is usually small, but you can still have useful accessories here.

Housekeeper.

In order not to look for the keys all over the apartment all the time, not to remember where they were last time? Accustom yourself to the fact that they need to be put in the same place, for example, in a deep plate or hung on a key holder, which is located in the corridor at arm's length at the entrance.

Key holders are open and closed in the form of a box with a door, sometimes with hooks. You can just hang hooks, eyelets - everything that you can hang keys on. Now your keys to the apartment, car, mailbox, neighbor, garage are always in front of your eyes.

Door.

From the inside, install the chain. You should never open the door wide open to strangers. First, look through the peephole. Then we ask: who is there? And if you have doubts, you want to talk to a standing person or look at him, then we open the door, but with a chain. Thanks to her, the door will not open wide.

It is better to seal the door, but it is better to have two doors so that the noise does not come from the entrance or when the neighbors come out to the stairwell and talk.

Rubber mat for shoes.

Often there is bad weather on the street, everyone comes home and mud flows from the shoes, snow melts and it all remains on the floor. For such cases, it is better to have a rubber mat with bumpers at home, on which you can put shoes. And all the dirt will remain there inside.

Shoe cabinet for shoes.

When we take off our shoes, we put on slippers. They should always be in a conspicuous place. So that they do not gather dust, it is better to purchase a shoebox. Most often it is small in size, into several compartments, with doors and takes up little space in the corridor. In addition to slippers and shoes, you can store an umbrella, bags, clutch or shoe covers in a shoebox.

Glowing arrows on the floor.

There used to be a series called "The Big Bang Theory" and in one of the episodes it was said that if there is a fire in the house, therefore visibility is lost, then looking at the floor you can see where to go in the direction of leaving the house.

Arrows can be painted with fluorescent paint or stick stickers that glow in the dark.

Kitchen

Next we go to the kitchen. The kitchen is the place where food is prepared, where people have breakfast, lunch, dinner, where guests meet and talk over a cup of tea or coffee.

Consider useful kitchen accessories.

Magnetic holder.

To conveniently store knives so that they are always in a conspicuous place, it is best to purchase a magnetic holder. It can be glued to a special glue (liquid nails) or fixed to the wall with self-tapping screws. The magnetic holder is suitable not only for hanging knives on it, you can also hang scissors and cutlery.

Alternatively, it can be used to hang tools on it. Therefore, in the shed, pantry, closet or garage, he is a great helper. When opening the cabinet door, you do not need to look for pliers, screwdrivers, drills and other tools. They are all in plain sight.

Fridge magnet notebook.

When the products in the refrigerator are running out or running out, do we write in a notebook what will we need to buy in the store? We also write thoughts so as not to forget what needs to be done in the future.

So that the notebook is always in one place, you don’t have to look for it or a piece of paper where you need to write, then we get a notebook on a fridge magnet.

Water filter.

Water filters come in different types and sizes. Most often, apartments use a multi-level filtration system, which is installed under the kitchen sink and has several different water purification systems. The water that we drink is very important for the human body - it is our health, so you should not save here.

Hood.

An extractor hood is necessary in the kitchen, because food is cooked in the kitchen and different smells are formed. The hood draws in the smells of fried fish, mushrooms, meat and prevents the further spread of smells to other rooms.

Fire alarm.

Many businesses have fire alarms. The employees are explained the instructions on how to act during the smoke in the room, where to run and what to do first? Why do people not think about the fact that it would be nice to have it at home?

Food is being prepared in the kitchen, it may happen that a person forgets that something is on the stove and falls asleep. To prevent this from happening, you need to put a fire alarm and if the kettle, frying pan, pan lights up, the sensor will work, there will be a strong noise effect - this will make a person stand up or attract the attention of neighbors.

It is desirable to install such a system in older people, because they forget a lot of things due to their age.

Electric kettle.

An electric kettle is convenient because it turns itself off. He stands on a stand, he has a handle for which you can take and it is not hot. Unlike a conventional teapot, which must be controlled and taken with an oven mitt.

Rooms

Next, we move into the room.

Illuminated switch.

Often the switches are located inside the room and you have to look for them by touch. To find it right away, it is better to buy a backlit switch in the store. At night, the switch illuminates and its location on the wall can always be seen.

A dimmer is a switch and the light in the room can be adjusted with it, making the room dark. But it must be remembered that the dimmer only works with ordinary light bulbs (not energy-saving ones).

Light.

A table for a student or in an office, it is better to place it close to the window space. In the daytime, use natural light, and when evening comes, turn on the chandelier.

It is better to choose a chandelier relative to the room. If the room is small, then the chandelier should be small, and if the room is large, then the chandelier should be large and with many light bulbs.The more of them on the chandelier and they are larger in size, the more light in the room, therefore, the eyes do not strain, you can read, write and go about your business.

Stand for newspapers, magazines or to put the remote control.

Many people like to read magazines, newspapers, watch TV and leave it all in different places. In order not to look for them, we purchase a special stand. It can be made of wood, fabric or forged. Pillows with pockets are also on sale.

Vacuum bags for storage.

When the cold season passes, outerwear is removed, but it takes up a lot of space in the closet. To avoid this, you can buy vacuum bags, put bulky things in there, blow out the air and the bag will become flat. Now there is more storage space in the closet than before.

Organizer.

An organizer is an item with compartments for storing things. The organizer can be made of any material: wood, fabric, box, plastic. It can be used for different purposes. For example, an organizer for small things in the closet. In each cell, you can put one small thing and thus there will always be order and every thing in a conspicuous place. You can put an organizer in the bathroom to store bathroom supplies and accessories. Makeup organizers available.

If you are a creative person, then you can make an organizer with your own hands. In every room, he will restore order and comfort.

Folders for papers.

There are folders for papers of different shapes, sizes, fastenings and colors. It is best to store all documents not in one folder, but to give them names and separate them.

We make a folder with the inscription "Health" and put everything related to health into it. We make the “Apartment” folder and insert all the receipts for paying for the apartment: intercom, electricity, receipt for paying for the apartment.

Mesh for windows.

Every apartment has windows, but not everyone has window screens. What is it for? To prevent insects from entering the house. If you bought an apartment or received it, then you should install a net on the windows so that mosquitoes do not bite, flies do not fly and sleep is calm.

Flowers.

Plants improve indoor air, create coziness and improve well-being.

There are types of flowers that feed on insects, for example, this is the Venus flytrap. Insects fly to the smell of a flower and she closes the flower. More predatory plants include: sundew, zhiryanka, sarracenia, nepenthes.

An excellent option for carnivorous flowers for country houses, because often insects fly into the rooms from the street and it is not always possible to catch them.

Useful bathroom accessories.

Bath mat.

If you take a bath with foam, then getting up, you can slip, and you can also slip on the tiles when leaving the bath, so we get a bath mat.

Another option is to install handles on the walls near the bath. When leaving the bath, you can hold on to them. This option is more suitable for older people and overweight people.

In the toilet room, you can install not just a toilet, but a toilet with a sink on the tank. This option is suitable when the toilet and bathroom are separate.

Touch lamp.

A light that reacts to movement is a very necessary thing in the house. At night, many go to the kitchen to drink water or to the bathroom, if there are children in the family, they often go to sleep with their parents.

If you put the touch lamp on the floor or install it on the wall, then when a person walks, it will illuminate his path. The glow time can be set and changed.

Fire extinguisher.

Many people know that in every store, in the company there are fire extinguishers. They are essential in case of fire. But why don't ordinary people buy them for an apartment? After all, there can also be a fire at home, for example, old wiring catches fire or a fire can occur in the kitchen?

A smart home is when the space around a person is optimized, when there is a lot of light in the room, when there are devices for preventing and eliminating fire, when it is safe for yourself and your family in an apartment or a country house.

A smart home is a cozy home, a home where all things are in a conspicuous place, they can always be quickly found and used.
