• Shivaan Darda

When redecorating your homes, you look for smart gadgets, smooth finishing, and the latest paint shade but often overlook the sustainable aspect. Hence, let me talk about the finest trend in the market—eco-decorating. You can now get elite decor while ensuring your abode is helping the environment. Here’s how.

1. Energy Efficiency: From insulation in the walls to windows with low-emissivity coatings to prevent heat transfer, there are many ways to achieve this. Additionally, solar panels, high-star appliances, smart air and heating gadgets, all help lower your electricity bills while saving the world.

2. Water Efficiency: Whether big or small, your apartment can install a rainwater
harvesting device, used water recycling systems and low-flow fixtures. These are easy on the pocket as well as help reduce your monthly water bills.

3. Resource Efficiency: Get the designer feel in your walls and floors, by using renewable materials like bamboo and cork. For kitchens and bathrooms, look for tiles made from recycled glass, metal, or other materials to reduce resource consumption.

4. Lighting Efficiency: The latest sunlight-mimicking lights and large windows with cross ventilation, reduce your dependency on air conditioning. You can even go for
strategically placed, and hidden, windows and vents that can create natural airflow
throughout your home.
The top interior design firms in the country offer these options and many more ways to ensure that you get a sustainable and gorgeous living space. So when you decide to redo your home, create one that has a lasting impact on your family, as well as the environment,
