A house with an impeccable 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 trendier! Connected mirrors, all-in-one speakers (except for making coffee!), beloved robot vacuums… 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 while running late, smartphone in one hand, mascara in the other? The connected mirror puts an end to this morning chaos. The HiMirror Slide, for instance, analyzes your skin, tracks its evolution, and recommends targeted skincare. It even offers makeup tutorials in video format to inspire you daily. You are no longer alone in front of your mirror: it’s like having a personal makeup artist and a dermatologist in your 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 your 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 who always has a playlist ready

This is THE gadget that changes the vibe of a home. The smart speaker is like that friend who can do it all: it streams 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 feels like you’re at a concert.

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

The robot vacuum: the crush of the lazy ones

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 dust, mops the floor, and, best of all, empties itself into its station. You can schedule its cleaning through an app and enjoy your favorite series 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 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, effortlessly, is a true luxury of daily life.

The connected bulbs: party or zen ambiance, with a click

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

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

The smart thermostat: green and glamorous cocooning

Being warm while remaining 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 unnecessarily, 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 home from a weekend: you restart the heating from the train and arrive in a cozy apartment. It’s simple, smart, and good for the planet. Among all the smart objects, the connected thermostat ticks all the boxes: practical, chic, and responsible.
