If you're looking to add a bit of a 'wow' factor to your home, this is one of the best ways we've seen of doing it for a while that doesn't involve investing in flashy technology.

These temperature-sensitive glass tiles react to heat by changing their base colour through three phases over a six to ten degree rise in temperature. The effect, as you can see from the photos, is quite dramatic and though you may struggle to think of enough applications, bathrooms spring to mind as the most likely room to benefit.

Six different types of tile offer different colour moods and ranges so you can coordinate the base colour with the rest of the room and each measures 4x4" in size.

They're also relatively cheap at just $15 a pop, though obviously import fees need to be taken into account unless they get officially resold over here, but we think it's a clever enough idea to generate quite a bit of interest. - Paul Lester
