Our homes are our havens (and an expensive investment) so we want to do everything we can to protect them. But home protection isn’t exactly synonymous with pretty, or at least, it didn’t use to be. Here are three ways you can protect your home without compromising on style.
A seamless security system
A security system is an obvious choice for protecting your home – and a good one at that. But you don’t need everyone who steps foot into your home to know about it. For a discreet design that blends in with the decor, we like the low-profile, slim Bosch Security B942 Touch Screen Keypad, which as a bonus is simple and straightforward to use.
Sleek bathroom vents
We know, it’s not the most sexy of topics, but proper ventilation in the bathroom is essential for keeping mould and mildew away, which can damage your walls and fittings as well as harm your health. Most grid-like vents, however, can be a real eyesore. A better alternative? Try IXL Tastic Luminate Single 3 in 1 – Bathroom Heat, Light & Vent, which combines a vent, light and heat lamp into one sleek design.
Smart smoke alarms
Smart and stylish – not words you’d usually hear used for your smoke alarm, but that’s exactly how we’d describe the Nest Protect Smoke Alarm. It connects via Bluetooth to an app so you can receive notifications when you’re not at home and can also easily silence a false alarm or do a safety check. As for its design, it looks a lot like your other Google Nest smart devices – minimalist and modern.
