Premium home technology is the new norm. From automatic robots that take lazy cleaning to the extreme to 8K Ultra HD Neo TV technology, it’s almost impossible to keep up. But we should keep up. Consumer expectations are driving the push for lifestyle brands to race to produce the most high-quality, premium products branded ‘the next best thing’.

And it all comes from what consumers are asking for: better quality products, better technology, and products that make life easier.

All of that modern consumer expectation is reflected in the products lifestyle brands are putting on the shelf.

More Features, Less Hassle

Consumers want features and less hassle.

The more features a product has and the easier it is for consumers to use and to help them complete their tasks more precisely, the more people will buy it. Even the humble iron and ironing board can’t escape the consumer demand for more features and less hassle. Did you ever find ironing boards awful to open and close, especially to adjust? Modern ironing boards glide open with an easy clasp to help you adjust them; the Laurastar Products (https://www.laurastar.co.uk/) are the perfect examples of providing less hassle to consumers.

Or, even that 8K Ultra HD Neo TV technology we mentioned. Yes, it’s all about the crisp viewing experience, but these TVs come with smart controllers, so you don’t need to think about clicking multiple buttons to open the apps section and load Netflix; it’s on the remote. Or, even more than that, most TVs come with technology like Alexa installed for easier navigation.

More Accessibility, Fewer Costs

Consumers demanded accessibility and cost reductions, and lifestyle brands listened. Most consumers prefer to shop online, and shopping online often comes with free shipping for improved accessibility and so many online discounts you can’t find in shops. And when the Black Friday deals come around, everyone goes crazy.

Improved accessibility has been a natural progression as the demand for online shopping pushed brick-and-mortar shops out of the equation, leading many high street brands, like Debenhams and even back-in-the-day Blockbusters, forced into liquidation because they were too late to jump on the trend.

More Trends, More Availability

Trends are contagious, and modern consumers catch them faster than ever. Social media drives so many purchasing decisions now that it’s almost irrelevant what a brand wants to sell. If it’s not trending, it’s not moving. Consumers want what’s hot right now. It’s not just about limited drops or fast fashion anymore. It’s everything. Smart kettles. Designer laundry baskets and ironing boards. Even air fryers with Bluetooth.

The moment a TikTok creator goes viral showing off their high-tech living room setup, lifestyle brands start taking notes. And if they’re smart, they already have something in production ready to meet the demand.

Premium home technology is no longer a luxury – it’s an expectation. Consumers want more features, less effort, and instant access to the latest trends. And if a product can do all that, it won’t sit on shelves for long.
