Many of the so
called ‘gadgets’ which are used around the home
are made to meet a need and replace an existing way of doing
something which may be more complicated, more difficult,
more time consuming, and essentially less convenient. It’s
not just gadgets that lead to greater convenience around
the home. Genuine innovations or products which simply make
life much easier or safer are always in demand.
In the modern
home there are many examples of products which offer greater
convenience and make life that little bit easier in important
areas. For example, in the bathroom push button toilets,
large walk-in power showers, and mixer taps on sinks and
in the bath all make things a bit more convenient.
The kitchen is
full of gadgets and machines which also provide that additional
ease to life e.g. coffee makers, microwave ovens, washing
machines and tumble dryers.
The living room
is another area of major importance in the house where there
are many products and services which provide convenience
e.g. satellite television, reclining chairs and sofas with
reclining seats built-in.
The
windows are another area around the home which employ products
which can provide real convenience. For example, modern
double glazed tilt and turn windows can perform several
convenience enhancing functions. The window coverings themselves
can also offer a high degree of convenience. Blinds for
example are extremely convenient to open and close and often
operate with a simple draw or wand mechanism. Vertical
blinds offer exceptional convenience in a number of
ways. For example, vertical blinds consist of a number of
3.5” or 5” vertical fabric
slats. Any of these can be individually removed for
cleaning, or they can be easily and cheaply replaced if
they have been damaged or stained. The initial installation
of vertical blinds
is also a relatively easy process which consists of attaching
the head rail to the wall or window frame using some simple
brackets. Once the head rail is attached it’s really
the slats can even changed over time to match the latest
and newest makeover or design theme of the room.
