Today, interior design and eco-sustainability are increasingly close in both public and private environments. Obviously, the sustainable component is at the center of attention: we want to create less environmental impact and consume less (clean) energy. Furthermore, given the costs of renovating the house, the green building and sustainable option turns out to be the most economically advantageous in the long term. Why is sustainable design worthwhile? Here is some interesting information and examples to take inspiration from.
Durable design elements
The first way to combine design and sustainability is to select quality furniture that lasts a long time. Today, in fact, it is increasingly common to buy cheap furniture elements that, after a few years, are replaced. This behavior does not help us reduce our environmental impact and creates more waste. A piece of design, on the other hand, even if it requires a higher initial investment, guarantees you a product made with natural raw materials and with an unlimited duration. Less waste and more sustainability.
Recycling and recovery together in interiors
A recurring theme in recent years in design is the recovery and recycling of materials that come from disused industrial areas or other furnishing elements. These materials are cleaned and sanded to become a fundamental part of unique furnishings. The most used materials are iron, copper and wood, which create different styles: from industrial to classic to modern. Make a furniture choice with a positive impact on the planet.
Architecture and sustainability
If you have the opportunity to build or renovate your home, you can opt for an eco-sustainable structure also in the positioning of the rooms and the use of natural materials. Wooden houses are an example of how an economical structure can bring several advantages in the future such as energy savings and thermal insulation. Explore the options available and create an eco-friendly home with an expert in the field.
Clean energy
Design also means thinking about the home in its entirety. Furniture, structures and energy sources are equally important. Thinking, therefore, of a sustainable way of producing energy is interesting. The options are different: ask yourself the following questions: is it possible to install solar panels for your home? Why not opt for heat pumps? Request quotes for photovoltaics and explore possible options to complement sustainable design with renewable energy sources.
