TECH DECOR

Our daily lives are greatly influenced by technology. We check our Facebook updates on our mobile phones. We send email messages across the globe in milliseconds. News breaks and we’re immediately notified, once again on our wireless phones, Pocket PCs or Netbooks. We are connected and moving at the speed of technology. So now are our homes. We can create our perfect home by jumping online, a few mouse clicks buys decor, furniture and whatever else our hearts desire.

Technology is now allowing us to create the decor and furnishings we desire – not just buy it, but design it.  We are now the design artist.  Case in point, “Digital Leather” utilizing a new patented digital print media called SmartFilm developed by SIF Technologies, which makes it possible for you to design (From color to pattern to texture) the leather which can be used to upholster any number of products from chairs to sofas to headboards to walls and doors.

Then there’s the technology at home that makes your life so much better. We are all familiar with the great technological advances in kitchen and laundry appliance design, but going forward expect to find even more interesting home technologies like the Prodigy bed by Leggett & Platt becoming popular. The Prodigy adjustable bed helps reduce snoring, integrates with your iPod, and helps gently transition you from a sleep state to an active state.
