Connected Homes Can Help Human Connections. Here’s How 

By now we know that human connections are, put simply, essential to our well-being — after all, the social interactions can decrease feelings of loneliness and are linked to longevity. When we’re at home, we want to connect — with our family, our pets, our guests, or even the friends we’re video calling. 

There’s a lot we can do with interior design and architecture to create a home that facilitates deeper connections — open floor plans, a dining table with comfortable seating, and even feng shui — but we often neglect to think about the role our lighting and appliances are playing.
