2. Televisions
Another large part of a lot of our lives is televisions, whether it's in the living room, bedroom or kitchen if you are looking for home extension ideas then you should definitely give a bit of thought to your entertainment.
Most Smart TV's now feature WiFi, however if you're doing a home extension then now is the perfect time to add data cables from your home router to your televisions to ensure a fast and problem-free internet connection.
TV's are also useful in kitchens as we tend to congregate and spend more of our lives in the kitchen, you can stream YouTube cooking videos whilst making dinner, play music channels when friends are round and also be sure not to miss the big match when you go for snacks!
A great idea for subtle televisions in kitchens is to look at installing a waterproof TV in the splash backs. Very discreet, very high end looking but with a reasonable cost.
You can also connect kitchen televisions to Bluetooth Ceiling Speaker systems and there are plenty of surround sound options for living room television.
So give a bit of thought to where you'll be watching TV and ensure you allow for the right cabling to make it a hassle free experience.
3. Boiling Water Tap
There are loads of kitchen gadgets available for your home extension but if you like a good cuppa then we'd recommend you take a look at a boiling water tap for instant on-demand boiling water.
Top of the range boiling water taps such as the ones from Quooker take the place of your normal kitchen taps and provide hot, cold and boiling water.
The built in safety features ensure that you never supply boiling water accidentally.
Boiling water taps are a great idea as you can make hot drinks easier, use boiling water when washing pots & pans & so on.
