House stuff that changed your day to day?

Having some work done on the house this week that has been long overdue, and spending some time freshening up areas and making it look nice for when my wife gets back after work. I've been making tiny little additions, like charging stands in useful places, lighting under cupboards where it's needed, hooks and things for coats etc. What else should I be considering? Is there anything you've added to your home, that really changed things? I need some inspiration my dudes.

What kind of work done on the house? I don't know what to suggest to add little things useful. I personally would run fiber into the walls and an apple chagrining outlet in each room. I would have it near a table or make a customize like multi-phone holder if you're creative with wood have have the proper tools to carve the wood. You can design it on paper or 3d model of it using blender. Then once you got a design and the size you want you can make it and nail the rack into the wall.

That's just my own opinion. If I wanted to update the house like that. However, for me it's just simple run fiber and I am good.

I've found that smart thermostats have been a game-changer for daily comfort and energy savings - they learn your patterns and adjust automatically. Adding motion-sensor lights to hallways and bathrooms has made late-night trips much safer and more convenient. Have you considered any smart home upgrades that could integrate with the charging stands you're already installing?

How "Smart" is your home? Adding things around my house like google home mini's, smart switches for lamps, etc really made a difference for me. Just as one small example, if you ever get home and you're carrying things into your house, it's really nice to be able to turn lights on via voice rather than fighting with switches while you're carrying heavy items.

How's the lighting in your bathroom(s)? I've learned that women really appreciate mirrors that have bright vanity lights. It makes a huge difference and you'd probably enjoy it too.

Do you have a centralized place where keys are stored? I have alot of different keychains for various things and I've been meaning to find a home for them all for awhile now. Think about things that you normally see laying in places that don't make sense and you'll come up with all kinds of crazy ideas that make your life easier.
