To paint your house you will find electronics dissolved in the paint, to maintain the temperature. To renovate your house you will find that doors and windows are no longer simple wooden structures but electronically reinforced super smart security systems.

Some wonderful futuristic technologies, right from the door handle. When you arrive at the house today, you find is a snazzy metallic sheet with a small peephole in it. There is no handle or lock visible on the door. But as soon as the biometric camera (What you thought was a peephole) has scanned you and recognized you as an authorized person, a door handle pops out of the sheet, as soon as you touch the handle to pull, it quickly checks your temperature and heart rate to ensure you are okay. If there are any updates it will be communicated to you; such as your child is yet to return from school, you have received a courier and so on. You can also check the whereabouts of other family members as door syncs to their schedules too.
Let us step into the kitchen. Based on the stock inside the fridge and depending on the health parameters collected by the door handle and other connected devices being used by the rest of your family, this smart device gives you the suggestions what to cook. Once the menu is decided, step by step cooking instructions is displayed on the kitchen counter.
Drones will be used as a surveillance system to protect your home. They can hover about and can be controlled by smartphones.
