New home essentials

If you just moved into a new place with your wife and you hopefully stay settled in one place it’s time to plan your home and buy all those essentials needed in this modern day and age.

A home theatre or media room. 

A decent home theatre with a 32” screen, surround sound and media storage devices are what modern home theatres are about. In this room you can watch television, play games and listen to your music.

Some home theatre systems have a media storage device which acts as a hub for all the movies, series and songs in your home. This storage device is connected with all the pc’s, laptops and other multimedia devices. With the iPod revolution most people buy docking stations where they can dock their media device and play their whole playlist.

Internet connection

Every house needs a fast internet connection be it uncapped business adsl or uncapped adsl for business or gaming. Online services have become a necessity with social media and online shopping hitting the scene. If you are running a business from home it would be ideal to have a adsl connection as you will be able to do group conversations with others and make business deals instead of having to drive everywhere and make expensive landline calls. Uncapped adsl lines make it even easier since you don't have to worry about running out of bandwidth.

Lighting and automation. 

Lights have become more interesting as the years passed by. These days you can set up a lights which are able to sense your movement in each room. This way you can save electricity because the house automatically switches the lights on and off as you enter and exit a room. Some advanced houses have light control boards where you can monitor your lights and switch on different lights with different styles to your liking.

Security systems. 

Security systems become more sophisticated as time passes. Two important ones is video surveillance which sends images to your phone if it detects movements as well as a software program which learns your routines when switching the lights on and off. This way you can go on holiday and the lights will still go on and off as per normal.

Gaming rooms. 

Gaming rooms can range from table tennis to Xbox and Wii. Having a space where you and your friends or even your children can play their games on their own dedicated TV instead of them disturbing you while you want to watch a movie is ideal in modern homes.
