Latest Interior Design Advancements by Rock Robins

Interior Design has always been flexible. It has bent to the needs and creativity of the interior designer ever since. It is shifting, evolving and changing through time. Many markets have been following the trend, making houses eco-friendly, energy efficient, and technologically advance.

Smart homes

It’s already 2017, gadgets and smart devices are almost everywhere. Would you believe that there is a Google Home already? I’m talking about an actual hands-free device, not a website! It has a voice-activated Wi-Fi speaker and uses Google Assistant AI. It works as a smart home control centre and a personal virtual assistant for the entire family.

Google Home makes your home feel more connected, as it can turn on your television, remind you of future appointments, lets you watch the latest episode in Netflix, and play songs directly from the cloud, all through a simple voice command.

Virtual Reality

What is cooler than a voice-activated speaker at home? Probably a Virtual Reality! Just last year, two Filipino ladies introduced Virtual Reality to the Philippines. These ladies are top executives of an IT company that opened the world of virtual reality for local businesses and productions. We got used to the thought that if you say VR, it pertains to computer games. But, VR can now be used for greater purposes like architecture and interior designing. Imagine all the possibilities it will bring in the upcoming years.

Visualize creating a room for your client through the use of VR, and explaining the interiors and structures of the room by actually just sitting beside your client. This allows you to have an experience of going around your office or house even before the construction begins. Another thing, you don’t have to move furniture in and out of the room anymore, because you can easily test different furniture as you please at the click of a button.

Hands-Free Faucet

Faucet systems are also upgrading these days. Before, you can only see faucets like these in the mall, but now, some homes are already adapting to this.

Hands-free faucets are rust-free and has consistent motion sensor. They are furnished with a proximity sensor that distinguishes the presence of hands, and then uses a mechanism to open the water flow.

These faucet systems are becoming more reasonably priced and increasingly necessary for everyday living in homes. In fact, this has less bacteria contamination, since you don’t need to touch any handles anymore. It’s also good at controlling the amount of water flow, thus, helping you preserve water.

Hands-free faucets are sleek, shiny, and smart, fitting effortlessly in a trendy, contemporary bathroom.  This makes a picture-perfect addition to your smart home's bathroom.

Lighting Fixtures

The use of Energy Efficient Lighting has been more prominent now. We have LED technology that offers cost saving benefits to power usage and makes it easy to go around your home.

LED lights are the modern lights for today's home. It is perhaps the most frequently used light fittings all over the commercial and architectural places. It can be used in almost every room, in just about any application.

LED lights can be combined with sleek finishes like brushed steel, and some materials like glass and wood. The outcome is a state-of-the-art look that promotes ideal functionality and high style. The strong yet simple designs of our lighting fixture make it the perfect focal point in any modern home or office.   

Technology is the new frontier of design at home. For so many decades, the designs of houses and offices have been dictated by technology. It may go unnoticed, but in the near future, these technological advances will impact the interior design of your space.
