You can’t always make really sustainable choices at home. In fact, we often overlook how certain choices can radically change our lives. Even on a daily basis. For this reason, we have chosen to create a small guide to help you understand how useful (and convenient) it is to opt for certain materials and in terms of consumption and environmental sustainability. And that’s not all. It is necessary to make a distinction, or rather, to underline that when we talk about sustainability, we do not only make a purely naturalistic speech, but also economic and social.
All the more reason to be even more interested in this article! So, if you are ready, we can get started! Let’s discover how apply sustainable choices at home .
The moment you choose to furnish a particular room, you do so because of your personal taste. In reality this choice may not be particularly functional. The main reason why we should instead choose according to the sustainability parameter is simple. With an initially higher cost, you can opt for furniture that will have a shorter time duration (for our home) but certainly can be recycled later with ease. And remember: natural does not mean without a style. There are many companies that have converted to the green economy. So, it will be even easier to combine beauty and utility!
A key element capable of giving life to an old-fashioned home, the floor is the key to be able not only to save money, but also to make your home greener. To overcome problems related to the poor durability of a floor, instead of choosing wood, we suggest to opt for porcelain stoneware tiles.
In our previous columns, we have often talked about how fabrics can totally upset the design of a house. Whether it is the most 60s oriented style, or the most elegant and refined, it doesn’t matter. Integrating the home environment with curtains, carpets made of natural fibers, will allow to respect the environment, save on expenses and, hear hear, decrease the production of chemically treated fabrics.
But how complicated will it be to find these alternatives? The answer is : not at all ! Also for the textile sector, in recent years, there has been a conversion to the ecological. Large commercial giants, such as IKEA, continue and strengthen their green policy every year.
Having given a fairly broad picture of what elements can help to make your home greener, we now reveal a trick with regard to the considerable reduction in expenditure. Do you want to renovate part of your house but can’t save money? A further solution is plastic bottles. Without realizing it, every day, you use a lot of plastic bottles in the hope of buying a better water from the tap. But did you know that plastic itself releases chemicals that are harmful to our health? And what’s more, it’s not good for our wallet!
Installing a filter on the tap will allow us to save money and make an optimal choice for our health.
What can I say, after this column, you will have all the credentials to build a house in a sustainable way, and at the same time, able to save money !
