Accessories And Gadgets For Your Home

The word gadget used to mean something incredibly futuristic and something restricted to the world of James Bond. Today, however, it seems to have lost its appeal and often refers to pointless pieces of technology like laser-guided scissors or a USB powered pencil sharpener.

However, there are still plenty of gadgets available that do help to make life easier, especially around the home. While you don’t need to have your house kitted out in LED lighting and 3D projectors, choosing the right gadgets and accessories for your own needs from sites like Viva Direct can keep your house cleaner, safer and even allow you to sleep better at night.

Kitchen

Many kitchens now have some form of extraction to get rid of smoke or steam. While this can be great for clearing the air, it can’t do much for those potent smells that linger long after the meal. A plug-in ioniser can be a great way of neutralising any unwanted smells as well as getting rid of pollen and other bacteria that may trigger allergies, while releasing activated oxygen at the same time.

The kitchen can also be a dangerous place, full of hard surfaces, sharp objects and hot stoves. If you can’t reach the top cupboard, a fold away stool can be a great alternative to dangerously clambering up onto work surfaces.

Bedroom

We spend almost a third of our lives in bed, so it’s vitally important we make the most of our time there. Getting the right amount of sleep is imperative for a healthy lifestyle. The NHS recommends adults get between six and nine hours of sleep a night depending on the person. If you find it hard to drift off naturally consider investing in lavender products or relaxing CDs.

A variety of external factors can impede your quality of sleep, from street light to allergies. Dust mites are one of the most common causes of allergies and unfortunately, there is no known way of getting rid of them completely. Fortunately though, there are ways to manage them; a plug-in dust mite controller emits an inaudible noise that is believed to disrupt the mites’ feeding and reproductive cycles. However, if that isn’t enough, you can always get more serious with an electric UV bed cleaner. A true gadget in the sense of the word, the cleaner combines vibration and ultraviolet light to work free and eliminate bacteria and dirt.

Around the home

Many people still suffer from a barrage of nuisance phone calls each evening, whether it’s selling new and improved Internet services or offering holidays to Florida, it’s a part of life we could all do without. With a nuisance call blocker you can eliminate these calls entirely. Using an automated answering machine, the call blocker can screen calls; only letting the ones through you’ll appreciate while rejecting the unsolicited.

The home shouldn’t just be a place to relax in; with the right home exercise equipment you can also get fit and stay healthy there too. One of the most popular pieces of equipment available now is a vibration plate, which was originally developed to maintain astronauts’ muscles on long flights. This definitive gadget vibrates rapidly to tone and strengthen a variety of different muscles, and all you have to do is stand on it!

Sites such as Viva Direct offer a wide selection of wellbeing solutions that can help you to being healthy and fit.
