It's the spirit and social hub of any household, a place of creation, entertaining and satiating, so it stands to reason that your kitchen should be equipped accordingly. With a little thought and investment, the most important room in your home can also be the most impressive.

So here's our pick of the best tech to make your kitchen the kind of place Elon Musk would be proud to spend more time in:

LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator

The daddy of all fridges is a sleek slab of engineering excellence – and not only does its textured steel finish and stainless steel interior look the business, it's packed with the kind of discreet hi-tech features that enhance both function and ease of use.

Filters and a dedicated fan simultaneously chill and deodorize, the glass panelled door illuminates with a tap so you can see inside without losing cold air, doors and drawers open automatically, and it can all be controlled and monitored wirelessly from your smartphone. Seriously cool.

Amazon Echo (2nd Generation)

Alexa is the personal assistant available to everyone regardless of how many initials are in their email signature. In the kitchen, she's got your back when it comes to recipe ideas, cooking playlists, adding to your shopping list and most importantly how many millilitres are in a cup all at the yell of her name. And with seven microphones your requests never go unanswered.

It's AI tech at its finest. Thanks to the tech being cloud-based, Alexa will never be out of date no matter which Echo you have. Plus you can save on a Bluetooth speaker - the Echo has Dolby processed speakers which pump out your Spotify faves with immersive, 360° omnidirectional sound. Alexa, where can I buy you?

Bet you never thought you'd lust after a washing machine. But with an understated black, tempered glass door and circle LCD display that's space-age and sophisticated, this takes things to the next level.

It walks the walk too: the revolutionary TwinWash system means it can take two separate loads simultaneously, the Centum System keeps it incredibly quiet, and Auto Dosing means you only have to fill the detergent once every 20 washes or so. It will even link to your smartphone to track the amount of electricity and water used.

Connoisseurs have long known that decanting wine improves its taste – this piece of tech does with a few touch controls what usually takes years of precise cellaring.

The system filters out impurities and aerates the wine with a flow of highly concentrated purified oxygen – meaning, in layman's terms, enhanced flavours and richer aromas. And all in less time than it takes to knock back the first glass.
