Sustainable Home Designs Taking Over

Natural Materials A serene environment is easily achievable with the use of natural materials like wood, stone and concrete. These materials lay the foundation of an organic landscape evoking a calming energy. With wood, veer towards lighter shades to create an open and airy space that reflects light. Concrete accents work well to add a flourish of a naturalistic look without going for the obvious with concrete flooring or fixtures. While using stone for countertops or walls reflects a modern twist to a room’s appearance.

Green is in - and that’s one design trend everyone seems to be in agreement with. Environmental conscientiousness is at the forefront of almost every discussion and interior design is capitalizing on the opportunity to infuse nature-friendly aspects into the home. We’ve rounded up the top sustainable home designs popping up. BY CHEYENNE PROSPER

Earth Tones

Gone are muted tones and taking its place are earthy hues. Saturate your home in shades of yellow, brown and red. The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere with the popular colors showing up everywhere.

Living Walls The popularity of decorating with plants has exploded with plants of every kind being used to inject natural elements in the home. Taking things a step further, is the “living wall.” This vertical garden - if you will - is great to add a unique design feature to the home. If you’re short on space, this is a creative way to use greenery in your design plans without creating clutter. Yet this design trend goes beyond aesthetic - the functionality of this design is it improves air quality and improves health.

4. Green Roofs Another trend that strengthens the move to biophilia is creating green roofs. A slew of luxury buildings opening up in hot ticket locations like New York City, Dallas, Chicago and Miami have been quick to adopt the trend. Like living walls, green roofs offer practical benefits. They are much more durable than standard roofs and more energy efficient.

CO N N E C T YO U R Interior Design with Better Sleep

Interior design sets the tone, mood, and ambiance of a room. And, there’s no room where that’s more important than one with such a specific purpose as the bedroom. The quality and length of your sleep cycle can be heavily influenced by everything from the light location and levels to the wall color and artwork. Sleep success has psychological roots that interior design can either help or hinder. Making that connection between design and purpose can help you get the full seven to nine hours of sleep you need every night. And we’ve got some tips to help.

SLEEP-ENHANCING COLOR PALETTE

Cool neutrals—the grays, whites, and pastel blues and greens—don’t overstimulate the eyes and calm the mind and body. They’re a favorite in the bedroom because of their psychological impact.

ONBOARD NATURE

Author Bio: Samantha Kent is a researcher for SleepHelp.org. Her favorite writing topic is how getting enough sleep can improve your life. Currently residing in Boise, Idaho, she sleeps in a California King bed, often with a cat on her face.

However, when choosing a color palette, you also have to take into account your personal, ethnic, and cultural experiences and preferences. Any color with which you have a negative connotation could potentially affect your ability to fall asleep. A color, with which you associate peace and calm even if it’s bright red, could benefit you. The key is to create a palette that reduces stress and calms your mind and body.

The barrier between the natural world and living spaces continues to thin. Time spent in nature reduces stress and anxiety, which nature-inspired design can also do. There are obvious choices like artwork that directly depicts nature in the form of landscapes, CONTROL NATURAL LIGHT photographs, and sculptures. But, nature can Nature in the bedroom is a good thing. enter the room through more creative and However, there are certain aspects that need subtle means as well. to be carefully monitored and controlled Lamps, rugs, pillows with floral motifs, or organic design elements with shapes and colors of nature can relax the mind and body too. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen with their soft textures and earthy vibe simulate the calm of a nature walk. Natural elements don’t have to be soft or visually soothing to benefit sleep. Brick, stone, sand, and houseplants can be beneficial too. They also open the door for self-expression and a unique take on what it means to blend the indoors with the out.

FOCUS ON THE BED As the largest piece of furniture in the bedroom, the bed is often, though not always, the focal point. It should also be the most inviting space. Soft textures, luxurious pillows in all sizes, and throws that add dimension create a bed that’s hard to exist. The design should also have the practical in mind. Yes, extra pillows make you want to jump on the bed, but make sure there are enough functional pillows that you can keep your spine aligned while you sleep.

H AV E N L I F E ST Y L E S .CO M

because of the way they affect the sleep cycle. Natural light, for example, can suppress sleep hormones. Whether it’s sunlight from an early summer morning or moonlight in the winter, natural light is absorbed by the eyes and sent directly to the circadian region of the brain where it triggers the “awake” signal. Bedrooms with a wall of windows need sufficient window coverings to block out all light at night. Artificial light needs just as much consideration. Any task lighting should point away from or be diffused as it nears the bed. Dimmer switches are a simple way to provide ambient light control as bedtime grows near. Good bedroom design balances beauty with practicality. Walking into your bedroom should feel like a release from stress and pressure. Design that makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of the world into your personal retreat is one that will support your sleep for years to come.

Millennials

and the Real Estate Market There’s an image of millennials that have been created by people in older demographics. Millennials are supposedly a lazy generation, living with their parents, complaining about the way the world is going. Well, like most stereotypes, this one doesn’t hold true under further analysis. The idea of millennials as childish has already become outdated as they age into being the most prominent age group in America. The implications of this are big in a variety of areas as millennials’ spending power increases, and the weight of their preferences grow. One area that is already seeing the relevance of this cohort becoming arguably America’s most important is the real estate market.

According to the Orange County Register, millennials now make up the largest share of homebuyers in America at 38%. While millennials acquired their first home later than other generations, this doesn’t mean that they weren’t interested in buying homes. The reality is that housing became significantly more unaffordable in recent decades, making millennials have to wait longer before becoming home-owners. But now, with millennials ranging from 24 to 40 years of age, they’re at an age where they’ve become higher earners, and are thus able to become first-time homeowners. Millennial preferences differ from some of the previous generations. According to the same report by the Orange County Register, areas like Aspen, Austin, and Montecito have all seen the benefits of being attractive to millennials. These second-tier markets have skyrocketed recently, with Aspen hitting a record high sales volume in the third quarter of 2020. Millennials differ in many ways from previous generations, but one significant way is that they are not buying starter homes the same way. According to Bradley Nelson, the CMO of Sotheby’s International, who was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, it is not altogether rare for millennials to make their first home purchase a significant one. Nelson says “Millennials are finally coming out of the gate, and it’s not uncommon for the first

purchase as a first time homebuyer to be a multimillion-dollar luxury home in the U.S. or internationally.” This means that millennials are becoming a vital cohort for the luxury real estate market as well. Real estate agents and people selling their homes are going to have to gear themselves towards marketing to millennials now. There are a lot of qualities that millennials emphasize that other generations might not have. For example, environmental sustainability, technological compatibility, and with the pandemic, the ability to work from home effectively. Real estate companies are going to have to adjust on the fly, as if they can’t appeal to this younger demographic, they will lose out on a group that has aged into becoming the number one homebuyers in America. Long represented as disinterested in home buying and making it on their own, 2020 showed that millennials are just like every other demographic that came before them. While the real estate market had a higher barrier to entry for millennials than other age groups, as they’ve aged into being higher earners, they’re just as interested in being homeowners. Millennials’ importance will only grow in the coming years as they continue to become the predominant homebuyers in America.

Sustainable Pantry

Must Haves for your kitchen Are you mindful of the products you consume? Do you only purchase from brands that ethically source their ingredients but want to do more? The zero-waste movement has gained popularity with many businesses and individuals adapting to this lifestyle. Switching out single use items and your disposable goods will not only aid in sustainable living but will be more eco friendly! Reusing is a good waste management method since it reduces the need for natural resources such as timber, petroleum and other resources. This not only saves energy, but helps conserve the environment. Here are a few essentials for your sustainable kitchen!

Mesh Bags Instead of bringing home those clear plastic bags from the produce section, why not switch to a mesh bag that is reusable and breathable for all your fresh fruits and vegetables! These bags can be stored in the refrigerator and even double as grocery bags.

Reusable Storage Bags

Silpat Sheets

Finding an alternative to zip locs will significantly reduce the amount of trash that you dispose of. Rather than using plastic bags, switching to silicone is a great option since it’s non-toxic, easy to clean and can handle hot and cold temperatures. Silicone bags also last much longer!

This one is particularly for those that enjoy baking! Silpat is a perfect replacement for parchment paper. The mats are made from food grade silicone and are non-stick so there’s no use for oil or cooking sprays. They are also durable and can withstand up to a temperature of 480 Fahrenheit.

Mason Jars and Glass Food Storage Yes plastic containers may be convenient, but making the swap from plastic to glass containers is overall better for the environment. Glass is non-porous and doesn’t absorb any germs which is overall better for your health. Also, an added bonus is its durability! With glass there’s no worry of staining and cracking.

Dishcloths and Napkins The U.S uses more than 13 billion pounds of paper towels each year, making a ton of paper towels requires up to 17 trees. Instead of going through roll after roll of paper towels to clean your kitchen messes, opt for dish cloths and napkins that are eco friendly and an aesthetically pleasing option. Plus, this reduces the time used taking out the trash.

Source: Ready Made

Reusable Straws Many restaurants are banning the use of plastic straws and so should you! Plastic straws cause pollution and have particularly affected our oceans harming marine life and ecosystems. You can swap the plastic and choose between stainless steel, glass and bamboo. Stainless steel, however, is the most recommended due to its durability and aesthetically pleasing design.
