DON'T MISS A THING

Modern homes are very convenient, but they often have a smooth and sleek aesthetic that isn’t for everyone.

Thankfully, there are some ways to make your home a whole lot smarter without having to compromise on a traditional aesthetic.

Just because you’re fond of a rustic look doesn’t mean there is no way to implement features like smart security and heating.

Here are just a few of the clever upgrades that will complement a home that wants to maintain a traditional look.

Art Deco Doorbell Covers

Ring doorbells have a certain look, and while you cannot buy a specialized doorbell, there are many great doorbell covers.

One example on Etsy is an art deco-style cover that would look just right next to a 90s-style door.

You won’t have to compromise on looks, as this cover will make your ring doorbell blend right in while providing you with the additional security that the doorbell and software provide.

Smart Heating With A Rustic Style

Heating doesn’t have to be dull!

You can buy a radiator that can be switched on and off remotely and on timers without needing to compromise on a plain white or grey number.

Retailers such as Trade Radiators have options that maintain a timeless look while offering modern, such as their programmable brass column radiator.

This means that you can get the heating that you need whenever you want while also keeping with a darker theme suited to a wood-accented room.

Vintage Radio Box (With A Modern Twist)

A vintage radio box looks great in retro-styled spaces, but many are aged to the point where they are too crackly to function as radios.

There are some modern radios that look to emulate that look, however, while providing all of the features you’d want out of something a lot more modern.

That includes Alexa, which has great functionality, easy online orders, and crisp music on demand.

Homely Cooking Meets Modern Convenience

The Rangemaster Classic 60 Dual Fuel Cooker is a retro style cooker which comes in a great cream finish. This cooker blends timeless design with advanced features, making it ideal for those who value style and functionality.

It is both a gas and electric cooker, so it is great for either simmering or baking. 

With its elegant cream finish and brass details, it adds a vintage touch while ensuring reliable cooking performance. 

It adds a bit of personality and pizazz to a home feature that is way too often unremarkable.
