A cozy couch, stylish area rug, or vibrant piece of art can turn an apartment into a showplace. Likewise, the right tech can make your apartment or townhome more functional and dazzling. It’s something you might not have considered, but that’s why we’re here. These are seven of our favorite gadgets and gizmos for inspiration!

Cable Organizers

Curb the mess of cords in your apartment with cable organizers, which encase your wires, keeping them together, organized, and easier to hide from plain sight.

Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Play music indoors or out on your patio/balcony for hours at a time with a wireless bluetooth speaker. Connect your device, program your favorite stations, and take advantage of features like built-in voice prompts and party mode (pairing speakers together).

Nightstand Charging Docks

Protect your cell phone and keep the screen visible using a docking station with a built in charger. These docks cradle your phone, keep it charged, and allow you to view the screen hands-free. They come in multiple colors, styles, and fits based on phone.

Smart Garden

Add a self-watering garden to your counter and grow plants and herbs with little effort. Thanks to built-in sensors that make sure your plants have the right amount of water, light, and nutrients, this garden is perfect when you’re traveling or have a busy week at work.

Dual Outlets

Turn one outlet into two with a dual plug. With two outlets positioned parallel to the wall, this adapter helps maximize available floor and counter space and is perfect for attaching cords to outlets behind furniture and bulky appliances.

WiFi Range Extender

Beef up the WiFi signal across your space with a range extender. It easily connects to your existing router and will keep your signal (and streaming shows) from cutting out in different parts of your apartment.

Kitchen Utensil and Tablet Holder

Avoid water damage and food on your iPad while cooking with this handy gadget. This utensil and tablet holder allows you to prop your device up in the built in stand so you can follow a recipe or stream your favorite shows in the kitchen, without having to worry about spills.
