This publication is also available in: Français English (UK) Deutsch Italiano Español

A house with a flawless decor? YES! But today, we also want a connected home! And who said technology had to be cold and complicated? In 2025, smart objects make our interiors more beautiful, more comfortable, and so much more stylish! A connected mirror, a speaker that does everything (except make coffee!), a beloved robot vacuum… here are the 5 high-tech gadgets to urgently shop for a home that’s right on trend.

The Connected Mirror: The Star of the Bathroom

Admit it: how many times have you applied makeup in a rush, smartphone in one hand, mascara in the other? The connected mirror puts an end to this morning chaos. The HiMirror Slide, for example, analyzes your skin, tracks its evolution, and recommends targeted skincare. It even offers makeup tutorials in video form to inspire you daily. You’re no longer alone in front of your mirror: it’s like having a personal makeup artist and a dermatologist in the bathroom.

Imagine your routine: you brush your teeth, and voilà, the mirror displays the day’s weather and your appointments. While you apply your cream, it reminds you that you need to buy milk on the way home. Glamorous AND practical! With such smart objects, the bathroom becomes a true technological cocoon, a space where beauty and efficiency meet.

The Smart Speaker: Your BFF with a Playlist Always Ready

This is THE gadget that changes the ambiance of a home. The smart speaker is like the friend who can do it all: it plays your music, manages your other smart objects, takes your appointments, and accompanies you through all your moods. The Sonos Era 100 is a favorite among sound lovers: compact, stylish, and with audio quality that makes you feel like you’re at a concert.

But if you like talking to your devices (and getting a response!), then the Amazon Echo Show 10 is ideal: it displays recipes while you cook, plays your shows, sets your alarms, and adjusts your lights. The Google Nest Audio is perfect if you prefer a discreet but ultra-efficient voice assistant. Imagine coming home after a long day and simply saying “Ok Google, play my chill playlist”: in seconds, the vibe is set. This type of smart object quickly becomes essential, as it adds a fun and super practical rhythm to your home.

The Robot Vacuum: The Lazy Person’s Crush

Let’s be honest: who still wants to vacuum after a long day? Certainly not us. Good news: the robot vacuum does it all for us. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is a little star: it maps your rooms, vacuums the dust, mops the floor, and, icing on the cake, it empties itself into its station. You can schedule its runs from an app and enjoy your favorite show while it takes care of everything.

For those with children, a cat, or a dog, the iRobot Roomba j7+ is also a gem. It detects and avoids obstacles, whether it’s a stray cable, a forgotten toy, or a spilled food bowl. In short: it adapts to real life, not to a perfect show home. These smart objects are not only practical, they literally change the way we experience our interiors. Having a consistently clean apartment, with no effort, is a true luxury of everyday life.

Connected Bulbs: Party or Zen Ambiance, One Click Away

No more sad and impersonal ceiling lights: welcome to personalized lighting. Smart bulbs are the queens of ambiance. With Philips Hue, you access over 16 million colors, transforming your living room into a private nightclub, a cinema, or a relaxing spa with just one click. For those wanting a more stylish alternative, Nanoleaf Essentials are super trendy and create soft atmospheres perfect for a cozy moment.

The big plus? Everything is controlled from your smartphone or by voice through your other smart objects like a connected speaker. You can also schedule your lights to gradually turn on in the morning or to simulate a presence when you leave for the weekend. These little wonders can transform a room in the blink of an eye and give a real “home sweet home” vibe worthy of Pinterest interiors.

The Smart Thermostat: Green and Glamorous Cocooning

Staying warm while being eco-friendly is possible thanks to the smart thermostat. The Nest Learning Thermostat is a reference: it learns your habits, anticipates your needs, and automatically adjusts the temperature. The result: you no longer heat for no reason, you save money, and you live in total comfort.

The Netatmo Thermostat, designed by Philippe Starck, is a little French marvel: minimalist design, clear interface, and control from your smartphone, even remotely. Imagine coming back from a weekend: you restart the heating from the train, and you arrive in a cozy apartment. It’s simple, smart, and good for the planet. Among all smart objects, the connected thermostat ticks all the boxes: practical, chic, and responsible.
