Your personalized project: An Upgraded
Kitchen
If your rental kitchen can be described as “having character” or “vintage charm,” it might be ready for an energy upgrade. The good news: all it takes is a set of new knobs and a pair of bluetooth speakers. Thanks to T-Mobile 5G home internet, you’ll be ready to stream your favorite playlist while you give your cabinets some instant bling right when you move in.
Your personalized project: elevated
lighting
A dark, moody space is perfect for movie night, but if you crave a little more light, smart light bulbs are a bright idea. Switch out the bulbs in your floor lamps and bedside sconces for WiFi-connected light bulbs that you can control remotely right from your smart assistant or tablet. If you’re feeling creative, choose a set that offers color customizations for when that magenta mood hits.
Your personalized project: the small-space
workplace
A project deadline on move-in day is no match for the small-space workplace. All you need is one wall: install a wall-mounted fold-up desk, drag in your storage ottoman, and plug in the T-Mobile internet gateway for the most efficient WFH setup with time to spare on your lunch break (no sad desk salads here!).
