It seems that every day a new gadget is invented, aimed at making our lives that much easier to manage. And while some of these nifty gizmos make us wonder how we ever managed without them – the 3-in-1 avocado tool anyone? – others are sitting relatively unused at the back of our cupboards and drawers.
Last year was the year we gave our interiors a good renovate, and this year looks set to be the year we bring in those super-useful and luxurious additions in the form of some fairly useful, yet aesthetically pleasing gadgets. The secret simplicity of these items is what makes them so useful, and we have 10 luxury homeware items that we think will make the perfect addition to your home.
Dyson supersonic hair dryer
Everyone knows that Dyson make incredible vacuum cleaners, so it goes without saying that they have really thought this product through. This hair dryer is the next level in technology – it avoids the use of extreme heat to avoid hair becoming damaged, claims to be six times faster than other hair dryer motors and it looks sleek and stylish, too.
All new RING doorbell
This is the device that allows you to keep an eye on your home while you are out or simply check who is at the door before you answer it. This new version for 2021 has sharper HD video and improved motion detection, and it also includes a 30-day free trial, so if you aren’t happy with it you can send it right back.
Stelrad radiators
These radiators are the next level of central heating systems. They come in a variety of different shapes, styles, and colours to suit every home, personality and room. Get a vertical radiator or have one halfway up the wall, a towel rack that is more like modern art than anything else, an eye-catching red one or a yellow and chrome bonanza. They even have a designer and boutique section of their website.
Ooni Frya wood pizza oven
Make real wood-fired pizza in the comfort of your own home and feel like a professional pizza maker with this chrome oven that would happily suit any garden. It is easy to set up and even easier to use. Get set to impress friends and family with your creations with pizza so authentic and tasty that you’ll never buy a shop-bought one again.
AEG wine cooler
No one puts wine in the fridge anymore – this libation needs its own home, so enter the AEG wine cooler. Available in a range of sizes (up to 18 bottles), the cooler boasts precision cooling technology and can be built into your kitchen for a seamless, stylish look.
Smart bacon toaster
That’s right, it has finally been invented – the bacon toaster. Drape up to six rashers of bacon over the heating element and wait while they cook in a healthier way, with the fat dripping down to the bottom and collecting in a drip tray. No more heavy pans to wash in the morning, bacon sandwiches can be your go-to breakfast as it cooks it for you without the mess.
Watermelon slicer
This slicer breezes through your watermelon like a windmill providing perfect pieces of the fruit to nibble on. It’s the gadget that you never knew you needed, and it is super fun to use too – ideal for that refreshing slice or two when the warm summer days are upon us, once again.

Providing a perfect blend of design and functionality, this chic table is more than just your standard bedside table. It has LED lights that perfectly accent its matt white and high-gloss grey finish, complementing your bedroom interior and providing the ideal tool to aid in a little light reading before bed.
Aion Bluetooth mirror
This bathroom mirror has Bluetooth connectivity and an inbuilt demister as well as LED lights so that you can see exactly what you need to see when putting on makeup or brushing your teeth. This is the future of bathroom mirrors and we love it.
