VIDEO: This is apparently what our homes will look like in 2049
A museum has revealed what a standard home of the future could look like – and it’s not quite as shocking as you might imagine.
In fact, it looks peculiarly similar to a standard display that you might spot in a well-known Scandinavian furniture store.
You’re welcomed into the home by a vase sculpture that also functions as a clock, showing the year 2049 in bright lights.
Depicting a “converted flat” in Hackney, the space features mostly grey interior design including a set of basic shelves, cupboards and a table with wooden stools.
Dinner, a roast, has been served and is thankfully quite vibrant – but everything else is distinctly colourless including the cups, trays and what looks like a sauce container as reported by Luxury Property News.
Surprisingly, there are no robots or obvious AI tech in sight.
The only high-tech item appears to be the futuristic-looking drinks machine on the counter.
Elsewhere, the living room is also quite sparse but it does feature a hot pink love seat with blue storage underneath, as well as a darker wooden stool.
In here, there are a few more signs of a high-tech future including a digital picture frame – that may well have other functions – and a pair of VR goggles.
The display, known as Winter Past, is featured at the Museum of The Home in London’s Hoxton area.
If you want to see the future for yourself, you better hurry – this particular exhibit closes on 12 January.
Or take a step back in time – there are plenty of other rooms to explore that showcase the past; from the 1800s to a particularly fetching space from the 70s and beyond.
A purple bathroom also features art above the toilet of a well-known Prime Minister – the Iron Lady herself – in a way you’ve probably never seen her before.
The museum has objects on show that show the evolution of tech, too.
One room allows visitors to play video games on an old TV and console.
The museum is free to visit.
