Mergers can be tricky, especially when it comes to pairing smart home technology with traditional home decor. It doesn’t matter if your home exudes a rustic charm, epitomizes traditional grace, or flaunts a country-chic vibe, incorporating the cutting-edge smart home technology with your established home decor requires a keen eye for detail and diligent planning. Opt for products that exhibit a more traditional design, match or compliment your home’s color palette, and lean towards the compact side. Just adhere to the following three steps and you’ll master the art of fusing technology with tradition in no time.

Step One: Tradition Visuals with a High-Tech Undertone

Refrain from the impulse of purchasing any DIY smart home gadget you hear is trending. The key is to make sure the gadget is a constructive addition to your home’s aesthetic. Hunt for gadgets that lend themselves well to your existing style while offering useful and innovative features.

Consider our one touch door lock it’s a smart lock that revolutionizes your smartphone into a key while opening with just the graze of a finger.

Step Two: Color Synchronization

Another avenue to harmonize smart home technology with traditional home decor is by selecting DIY smart home gadgets that come in a complementary color or finish. If a smart speaker or thermostat has caught your eye, make sure its finish is in sync with the color scheme of your home and room.

This principle sustains for the front door lock as well. When buying a smart door lock, a smart video doorbell, or a smart video camera, ensure they come in the same finish and enhance your door hardware.

Step Three: Size is Significant

The efficiency of a product should not always be measured with its size, especially when integrating contemporary technology into a traditional home. Aim for devices that embrace a slim and sleek design to maintain the room’s ambiance. Smart home technology should serve to amplify a room’s style rather than diverting attention away from the traditional home decor.
