Written By: Lauren Kim

When winter arrives, you might want to rest and relax. These simple upgrades can make your home more comfortable.

Create A More Welcoming Entry

These items can make your entryway a more functional and pleasant space.

Let Technology Work For You

There are many ways to get things done at home while barely moving a muscle.

Keyless Lock

With a keyless-entry lock, you can quickly punch in a code to open the door. Some models can be controlled through an app on your phone and can be paired with a smart home system, like AmaOn Alexa or Google Nest, that you can activate through voice command, Some keyless locks will even lock the door for you once you’re inside.

Free Your Hands

A simple tap can start the water running with a touch-enabled kitchen faucet, and motion sensor lights can automatically light up dark hallways for you. Instead of getting up to turn on the lights or close the blinds, you can use an app and smart-home hub to do it instead.

A Place to Remove Your Shoes

You can use your smart-home hub to create a schedule so that in the morning, for example, your blinds will open, your coffee maker will start, and your washing machine will wash the clothes you put in the night before.
