Enjoying Your Apartment to the Fullest and Treating Yourself to Some Luxuries
Stuck at home? Let's discover how to make the most of it!
Now, more than ever, we are realizing how many things we can change in our homes to improve our lives. In this regard, common household appliances are undoubtedly a simple way to live comfortably in our daily lives.
Originally created to facilitate the heaviest tasks performed at home, household appliances have taken a step further today. In addition to optimizing activities, household appliances bring a real leap in quality to everyday life by performing actions that are normally challenging. But before we delve into the latest technological innovations, let's take a trip down memory lane and explore the history of household appliances.
A Brief History of the Fridge and Washing Machine, Among the Most Common Household Appliances
From Washboards to Electric Washing Machines
Initially, the focus was on mechanizing tasks that were already done by hand.
As early as the 18th century, there was a kind of ancestor of the washing machine in England, the hub of the Industrial Revolution, with a rudimentary hand-operated centrifuge. The electric washing machine came into existence in 1906.
At that time, it was an appliance equipped with a drum and motor, which unfortunately often jammed, causing various dangerous short circuits and problems. Only in the 1930s was a modern washing machine conceived, with an isolated motor, and after World War II, patents and technical improvements proliferated.
In Italy, in 1946, Mr. Candy, also known as Peppino Fumagalli, introduced the first completely Italian washing machine called "Modello 50" from the Officine Meccaniche Eden. It was presented at the 1946 Milan Fair.

The Refrigerator and Its Utility
Throughout history, humans have devised various methods to preserve food over time. There have been many techniques invented to keep food edible, including drying, preservation with salt, smoking, and more.
Caves and cellars were designed to shelter food, and as early as the 1200s, icehouses were used to keep food cold. These so-called "neviere" were active in Italy throughout the 1600s.
The first home refrigerator was introduced in 1913, and it was actually a special pantry cooled by ice, which was produced elsewhere and then placed in the cabinet along with food. In 1913, the first domestic refrigerators arrived, which were pantries that preserved ice and food. The freezer would only be introduced in the 1970s, bringing the temperature down to -32°C.
Appliances Today: Essential Commodities
Today, having home appliances is an established fact, to the point that sometimes we may underestimate the comfort they bring to our homes.
During these days of forced rest, where our domestic walls offer almost our only leisure environment, we can consider treating ourselves and further improving our lives at home by complementing them with objects and items whose necessity is becoming evident right now.
For example, using a washer-dryer permanently solves the problem of damp laundry or clothes that don't have a lasting fragrance despite washing.
Modern washer-dryers are state-of-the-art appliances that consume little in relation to the work they do and significantly improve the quality of our lives. Furthermore, a washer-dryer also makes ironing much easier and considerably shortens the time required.
If you are a wine enthusiast and enjoy keeping your bottles cool but do not have an underground cellar, you might consider purchasing a wine cellar refrigerator: an elegant and cool item that is truly useful for those with this passion or those who would like to develop it.
And since we are always confined indoors and sometimes find it difficult to ventilate and refresh the air as we would like, a solution to effectively dehumidify and sanitize the air could be an air treatment device against humidity.
Air treatment devices are excellent tools for achieving this purpose. ABITAREarreda offers various models and designs, as brands have now understood the importance of aesthetics for accessories as well.
The microwave oven is an appliance that often divides people: some can't live without it, while others do not want to or do not know how to use it.
