Sunnyside Interior Design Fair 2026: Smart Home Planning Tips Before You Renovate

Sunnyside Interior Design Fair 2026: Smart Home Planning Tips Before You Renovate

When people hear “smart home”, many imagine something expensive, complicated, or unnecessary. Something only for tech lovers or luxury homes.

The truth?
Most modern homes today are already halfway to being smart, you just don’t realise it yet.

If you’re renovating your home in 2026, this is the perfect time to learn how smart home can be simple, practical, and surprisingly affordable.

That’s why Smart Living Gallery will be at Sunnyside Interior Design Fair 2026 — to help homeowners understand smart home in a way that actually makes sense.

Event Details:

Date: 10 - 11 & 17 - 18 January 2026

“I never planned to make my home smart”

You’re not alone.

Many homeowners tell us:

  • “I didn’t plan for smart home, but my ID mentioned it.”

  • “I thought it would be very expensive.”

  • “I don’t want anything complicated.”

  • “I just want my home to be comfortable.”

Here’s the reality:
Smart home today is not about fancy tech, it’s about making everyday living easier.

What smart home really means:

Smart home doesn’t mean turning everything into an app.

It simply means:

  • Lights that switch off automatically when no one’s home

  • A safer entrance without checking the door repeatedly

  • One switch instead of many scattered controls

  • Simple routines that save time, effort, and energy

  • A home that adapts to how you live, not the other way around

And most importantly:
👉 You don’t need to do everything at once.

Why renovation is the best time (even if you’re unsure)

Even if you don’t plan to “go smart” now, planning early keeps your options open.

Small preparation during renovation can:

  • Save you from hacking walls later

  • Allow simple upgrades in the future

  • Keep your home flexible as your needs change

We help homeowners plan just enough, without pressure, without overcommitting.
