Additionally, with increasing concerns around sustainability, many considering home remodeling are looking for ways to not only reduce their carbon footprint, but also make their home more energy efficient.
When keeping this in mind, knowing where to start can be tricky. Luckily, achieving Feng Shui and sustainability go hand-in-hand, and a few simple tips can make a big difference in your home.
- Start small: Try to begin with little improvements. Installing energy-efficient appliances and implementing solar technology can increase your home’s sustainability while lowering electric and heating bills.
- Don’t go over the top: Instead of fully restructuring a houses walls or foundation, consider half-wall or windows when trying to create a more open environment, ensuring that structural beams are left in place.
- Re-use and refresh: Repurposing items to reduce waste and increase longevity can be very useful if you are willing to get a bit creative. Home features like cabinets, molding, and light fixtures can take on new roles when remodeling.
- Use simple, light colors: Painting walls common, light colors can accomplish a couple different things. White or off-white walls make lighting more effective and reduce the amount of time lights need to be on. Also, brightness can improve your mood and energy levels when compared to darker walls.
- Focus on your end goal: Remodeling can be endless, and it’s easy to keep changing things in your home. With that being said, it’s important to keep in mind what you are trying to accomplish. This could be a more open floor plan, or more entertainment space, or even just a brighter home. With a goal in place, you will be able to improve what matters the most.
