Smart Kitchen Technology for 2024

Confluence Kitchen & Bath • January 8, 2024

An emerging and increasingly popular kitchen design trend for homeowners in Boulder, CO is to leverage technology to make it easier and more enjoyable to prepare meals, cook, and clean up. 

Advances have made using smart components in the kitchen easier and almost seamless. Many features and functions can be voice-activated, from preheating an oven to starting the water flow from a faucet. We expect voice and motion activation features to improve and expand making it easier for homeowners in Boulder, CO to use smart technology in their kitchens. 

Another 2024 anticipated trend is the movement away from individual product functionality to an increase in integrated systems that not only operate components in the kitchen, but also control functionality and performance throughout the home. Integrated systems enable homeowners in Boulder, CO to open doors, set light levels, and specify thermal comfort in every room. 

Technological advances will also make it easier for homeowners in Boulder, CO to live a more sustainable lifestyle. From the ability to better control energy use and leak detection systems that automatically cut off water supply to lighting systems that use a fraction of the energy of prior generations, we anticipate an increasing number of products that are more environmentally friendly and less costly to operate. 

How can technological advances make it easier, less costly, and more enjoyable to create a dream kitchen or bath? Give us a call at 303-443-1339 or make an appointment to visit our showroom at 2460 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO 80302 and let us show you how you can create a kitchen and bath that not only meets your current needs but also those of your future.
