Summer at home should feel like a breeze, cool, calm, and cleverly curated. Whether you're waking up to sunshine pouring through the windows or unwinding on a warm evening with a chilled drink in hand, having the right home tech can make all the difference.
This season, I’ve been trying out some smart, stylish, and genuinely useful gadgets from Very.co.uk, and I can honestly say they’ve taken my summer routine to the next level. From soothing mornings to fresh-feeling rooms, and even a few dance-worthy kitchen sessions, these tech essentials bring comfort and joy to everyday life.
Here’s how I’ve been using five summer-ready products at home, and why I think they could be just what your space needs too.
Mornings That Start Gently and Actually Feel Good
I’ll be honest, I’m not naturally a morning person. But the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 Wake-Up Light has completely changed how I start the day. Instead of a sudden alarm tone, this clever light gradually brightens the room to mimic a natural sunrise. The soft glow builds slowly over 30 minutes, making it much easier to wake up feeling calm and refreshed.
It really has made a noticeable difference to my mood and energy, especially when combined with the gentle chime alarm. It’s become a peaceful part of my morning that I now really look forward to.
Starting the Morning Right
Once I’m up and out of bed, the next step in my morning routine is a proper freshen-up. The Philips Sonicare 5300 Series Electric Toothbrush has completely changed the way I start the day. It delivers a deep, thorough clean that honestly feels like a mini dentist visit – without having to leave the house.
The built-in pressure sensor and timer take the guesswork out of brushing, and I love how smooth and polished my teeth feel afterwards. It’s such a simple switch, but one that makes me feel ready to take on the day with confidence.

Cool, Clean Air for Those Sticky Summer Days
There’s nothing worse than a sweltering home when you're trying to get things done. That’s where the Shark FlexBreeze High-Velocity Hybrid Fan FA220UK comes in. It’s not just a fan, it’s a smart hybrid design that can be used corded or cordless, so you can move it from room to garden with ease.
The airflow is seriously impressive, and the quiet mode means it won’t interrupt your conversations or TV time. I’ve been using it in the kitchen while cooking, lounging in the garden with a book, then moving it into the living room for an evening cool-down. It looks sleek too, so there’s no clunky fan ruining the vibe.

Music That Follows You Anywhere
Whether I’m cooking, cleaning, or just enjoying a cup of tea in the garden, a bit of music always adds to the mood. The JBL GO 4 Compact Portable Speaker has become my new favorite this summer. It’s small and easy to carry, but don’t let the size fool you, the sound is impressive!
It connects via Bluetooth, and the battery lasts long enough to get you through a whole afternoon outside. Since it’s waterproof, you don’t have to worry about it being near the paddling pool or catching a splash during garden games.
Fresh Air After a Day Outdoors
After a fun-filled afternoon in the garden; chasing bubbles, digging in the flower beds, and soaking up the sunshine, the last thing I want is for the kids’ bedrooms to feel hot, stuffy, or stale. That’s where the Russell Hobbs Compact Dehumidifier and Air Purifier makes all the difference.
We pop it on in the late afternoon while they’re having dinner or a bath, and by bedtime the room feels calm, clean, and cool. It quietly works to remove allergens like pollen and dust (especially helpful after all that outdoor play), and the carbon filter helps eliminate any lingering smells from the day, whether it’s muddy trainers or a well-loved blanket.
It’s compact enough to tuck neatly into the corner of the room, but don’t let the size fool you, it really improves the air quality. For little ones, that can mean fewer sneezes and sniffles, and for me, it’s the peace of mind that they’re sleeping in a space that feels fresh and healthy.
It’s not just for the kids’ rooms either. We’ve used it in our bedroom, the living room, and even the hallway to help clear out that warm, stagnant air that tends to build up in summer. It’s a quiet helper, but one I wouldn’t want to go without now.
A Calm and Comfortable Space, All Summer Long
Summer doesn’t need to be hectic. With a few smart touches, you can turn your home into a peaceful, refreshing retreat, perfect for slow weekends, family get-togethers, or even just staying cool while working from home.
If you’re thinking about how to make summer at home feel a little easier and more enjoyable, these smart tech picks are a great place to start. And the best part is you can find them all in one place over at Very.co.uk.
Why not give your summer a smart little refresh?
