It's difficult to get out of bed and head to work before the winter sun rises. However, with the help of smart home appliances, you can quickly put yourself in a better frame of mind by turning on your favorite music, lighting the corridors, or starting the kettle for a warm cup of tea that's ready when you enter the kitchen.

If you enjoy technology, you most likely already own a few "smart" appliances. Even so, you probably know someone who does, even if you don't have kids. In a report released in October, Parks Associates, a startup consumer technology research company, polled 10,000 internet-connected US households and discovered that 27% had purchased a smart home gadget in the preceding year.

Even if you don't currently own a smart device, you could be considering purchasing one. According to the same study, 44% of American households intend to purchase a smart home gadget in the upcoming year. And according to a recent survey by the Underfloor Heating Store, with about 4.2 billion views, "smart house" is by far the most popular home renovation-related trend observed on TikTok. Videos about "improved outdoor areas," the second-most popular home renovation phrase, had only a meager 260,900 views in comparison.

Here are five smart home devices you should add to your space in 2023:

Smart light bulbs

Smart showerhead

Wifi irrigation controls

Smart locks

Smart diffuser
