Sustainability is a high priority for many people. Making sure our daily habits don’t harm the environment is important. And sustainable design is a hot trend! It can help you save money, lower your impact and create a welcoming home environment!
How to embrace sustainable design at home?
Before buying anything new, make sure first that you really need it and that there isn’t a piece of furniture or decoration that you already have that you could repair or upcycle. Going sustainable can help you to be more minimalist as well as create unique pieces around your home!
Whether you’re painting a wall or need a new couch, choose sustainable and natural materials and products.
Insulating your home is one of the most efficient ways to help reduce your electricity bills. Some appliances such as your shower head, light bulbs, and other kitchen appliances could be updated to be more energy efficient.
Functionality has to come first when looking into your interior design.
Before anything else, ask yourself: what is the function - or functions - of each room? Does the current design answer the needs of the room? Make sure to think about how you use the room and list how you could improve it.
To improve the functionality of a room you may need to add storage solutions, reorganize the furniture for a better traffic flow, or better utilize technology and add smart home devices to control the lighting or other features.
Do multiple design styles draw your attention? Great! Start by picking one main style that will be the anchor throughout your house. Then experiment and add-in other styles to it. It will help to create a more unique place that really represents you!
When it comes to bringing life to a room, nothing does it like a plant! A plant is a great decoration piece that is soothing and can also improve the quality of the air.
Don’t be afraid to bring the outdoors in! Trust us, you’ll love it. If you’re new to it, start small with one plant and keep adding to it.
These 4 efficient tips will help take your interior design to the next level and create an environment you’re proud of!
