Tips for a more ecological renovation

Tips for a more ecological renovation

When building new or undertaking significant renovations, the carbon footprint can be reduced at the design stage by selecting materials with lower emissions. Many suppliers already offer low-carbon products in their range, for example in insulation, and the development is rapid. When planning a renovation, we always consider what existing materials can be recycled or how they can be reused. 

Perhaps a relatively new kitchen does not need to be completely demolished and replaced just because it does not please the eye. Instead, the overall look can be modified more lightly, for example by changing the countertops and handles or by painting. Likewise, originally high-quality furniture should be refurbished, and their appearance can be freshened up with upholstery and treating the wooden parts. 

Before installing a new floor, consider refurbishing an old plank or parquet floor. This not only saves virgin materials and costs but also preserves the original charm of the apartment.

Selling or donating old furniture on local online flea markets is a great way to reduce waste. It's also an opportunity to find unique and affordable interior solutions for your home.

Preferring locally produced materials can reduce the carbon footprint. This not only reduces transportation and storage costs but also helps us ensure the producer's responsibility. 

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to reduce the environmental impact of living. LED lighting and additional insulation are examples that can reduce energy consumption and increase living comfort.
