Everybody wants to live in a cozy and functional home.
Automation plays not the least important role in the achieving of this aim. However, many people still believe that automation is not affordable to the majority.
Now, the situation has changed completely.
You can buy a top-quality TV lift mechanism, a couple of linear actuators, a telescopic column, and automate everything in your home.
Here are some projects that will boost the comfort of your home and increase its usability.
Of course, all of them are pretty affordable.
TV Lift Makes Your Living Room Look Cool
A simple TV lift mechanism can change the look and the functionality of your living room immensely. You don`t need to pay excessively for it.
Get a TV lift, and install it in a suitable cabinet. Make an opening in the top of the cabinet to let the TV set pass.
Finally, fix the device on the TV lift, test it, and if you like everything, use it.
Don`t forget about cables. Some people just leave them loose which is not the right approach.
If you have kids or pets, cables might be a cause of serious damage to their health and even endanger their lives.
Arrange the cables, use special clips or cable management systems depending on how long the cables are and how many of them are loose.
Now, your new TV lift is ready. Enjoy it and impress your relatives and friends.
Moreover, the cabinet is still available to use, so, you are also saving some space.
TV lift is not the only thing you can install to make your living room look cool. What about automating some shelves?
By dividing a shelf in the middle and making the backside drop down from behind of the front side, you will discover more convenient storage space.
If you have an old bookcase, you can automate its panels and arrange different decor elements behind each of them.
By opening and closing them, you expose different decor elements by changing the interior style and adding individuality to your space.
Your Kitchen Can Be More Comfortable without Sacrificing Coziness
Now, let us move to the kitchen. Here, plenty of things can be automated.
For example, what about those wall-mounted cabinets? You can hide plenty of drop-down racks behind or in them.
All you need to do so is to fix a rack on a linear actuator, and the actuator is then fixed in or behind the wall-mounted cabinet.
The rack can be used to keep spices, utensils, or whatever else.
Another functional project is to install a lift column in a cabinet and then, on the column, to fix a platform. This platform can accommodate any device you have been dreaming about.
With a push of a button, you can make the column lift and lower, and the device appear on and disappear from the cabinet surface.
Yes, it is needed to make an opening in the cabinet top. Otherwise, how can the device pass?
But if you install a cap, you can close the opening and use the top as usual when the device is inside of the cabinet.
Your Balcony Can Turn into a Nice Place to Rest
Even if your balcony is very small, you can arrange everything there for a nice rest.
Make automatic foldable chairs to hide them by the wall and unfold when you need to stay there.
A foldable or even a raise-table will create the needed comfort without occupying space when you need it.
Drop-down storage spaces, shelves, supports for flowers will add a touch of luxury and complete the balcony arrangement.
Some More Ideas
You can start with the easiest projects, those that don`t require special tools and skills.
With time, when you master your skills and acquire the tools needed for complex projects, you can automate everything in your home.
What about an automated bed?
You can store so many things beneath it conveniently. Yep, the choice of actuators is crucial. They shall be strong enough to support the bed frame.
A reclinable chair will boost your life quality. It is one of the more complex projects but if you want, you can make it a reality once.
Further, you can move on with automating doors and windows, and then, you might even install some furniture in your patio and turn it into a perfect place to have rest.
Bottom Line
You can do whatever you want.
DIY doesn`t mean bad or of lower quality.
On the contrary, it is your opportunity to create a home you have been dreaming about, without compromises.
You can create any details, in any texture and colour, just whatever and in a way you want. Your home and you deserve it.
