5 Exciting New Household Products That You Haven't Heard Of

Following up on our article about the environmentally-friendly Punggol Northshore smart home, here are some perfect household accompaniments that will bring you closer to the natural surroundings!

LG’s Door-in-Door Refrigerator Collection

To forge a better relationship with Mother Nature, you need to be kind to her and treat her properly. So we start off with products that will reduce your carbon footprint.

How many times have you visited the fridge, hoping that something delicious will magically appear every time you swing the door open? This action of opening and closing causes a lot of cold air to escape, and uses up more energy than you think.

The award-winning Door-in-Door refrigerator from LG gives you the satisfaction of assessing your favourite treats without the guilt of wasting electricity. Get this, the four-door feature reduces cold air loss by up to 47%! It also takes convenience to a higher level. Water and food items that you need on a regular basis can be kept on the shelves, which makes organising a dream.

Because the temperature of the Door-in-Door fridge will not rise as much as a conventional one, it keeps food fresher for a longer period of time. So essentially, it’s a win-win situation for everyone! Convenience, lower electricity bills, and fresh food all in the form of a new age appliance.

This product line is available at Audio House, Best Denki, Courts, Gain City, Harvey Norman, Mega Discount Store and other LG authorised retailers.

Price: $1,299 - $5,999 depending on the model.

LG’s TurboWash Washing Machine

Dulux’s Nature-inspired Colour Palette

Still, having eco-friendly products is not the only way you can connect yourself with the environment. Invite nature into your home with Dulux’s Big Nature + Small Me colour palette. Most of us live in the rushed blur of concrete and steel work places, and rarely have the time to truly appreciate the beauty of nature. With the right touches, we can transform the place where we spend most of our time unwinding in, into a sanctuary. 

Shades of serenity

When we think of a relaxing space, soothing colours like beige and brown come to mind. These earthy tones reflect the tranquility of our surroundings, and can be especially calming for a weary soul.

Or bring in a pocketful of sunshine!

If you’re always hidden in buildings, and hardly expose yourself to the goodness of vitamin D, it’s time to welcome it into your life with colours that mirror sunlight.

It doesn’t just have to be one shade either! Express your creativity with the Big Nature + Small Me palette, and create the perfect blend of hues to complement your nest.

This colour palette is available at all Dulux retail stores. Locate a store here.

Price: $25 for 1 litre and $90 for 5 litres 

Tefal’s Intense Pure Air

One natural resource that we often take for granted is air. We rely on it more than water to survive, but it’s something that is always overlooked and forgotten.

This gift of nature should be enjoyed at its clearest form. Tefal’s Intense Pure Air bridges the connection between your body and the atmosphere by destroying 99.97% of air contaminants. Because we can’t see air with the naked eye, many of us don’t know how polluted it really is. 

Four-layer filter

If you’ve never heard of formaldehyde, it’s a chemical often found in cleaning items, varnish, and even scented candles. It is so harmful that the World Health Organisation has even classified it as a human carcinogen. 

So imagine our relief when we heard that the patented NanoCaptur Technology in Tefal’s purifier is able to absorb and catch this damaging pollutant. The gadget’s four-layer filter ensures good ventilation, and can even capture 16,000m2 worth of that evil formaldehyde!

This product is available at leading department stores, electrical stores, and selected hypermarkets.

Price: $399 (bedroom), $599 (XL)
