Eco-Style

ECO-Style: When you want to live a greener lifestyle, and have the ability to adjust your choices, sometimes not by much, you can really make a difference. Part of our mission at Studio Team KDB is to offer choices that are greener, and materials that are created in a less invasive manner.

Interior Green: For instance some clients may just want to use Energy Star rated appliances in their Kitchens and Laundry facilities. Others may want to use paint that is not only good for the environment but can also create a healthier and less toxic home environment. There are many companies who have worked hard to develop and manufacture Fabrics, Flooring Materials, Furnishings and Carpets. They are created in a green and sustainable manner, and do not off gas chemicals into your home. A true win, win. Lamps and lighting can also use less electricity by simply using the energy saving bulbs. These bulbs are now available with finishes and wattage that makes them more attractive to live with. If you are thinking of creating a new Bathroom a possibility could be a state of the art low flow toilet, and material choices that had less impact in there manufacturing, and are greener and healthier to live with. Do you have a camp/cottage in the woods? If you do and you want to utilize state of the art off the grid choices, you can consider solar energy, composting toilets, and insulation that is green with a high “R” factor, to help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Technology has come a long way since the first Earth movement of the 70s. You can now fold in green components, and really not give anything up. ECO-Style is all about choices.

Gardens/Exterior: Outside green is easy. Organic, or chemical free is the first step. Material and planting choices is the second. Consider your lawn. It takes so much to have one. We have to water it to keep it green. We mow it to keep it short, we have to get rid of the grass cuttings, they typically go to a landfill, and take up more space while they are composting. So think about other things you could do with that piece of land. How about considering a courtyard with large pieces of stone, brick or even gravel. Maybe a add fountain or a pergola planted with grapes and a dining table for entertaining and having supper. You could put in a reflecting pool or for the same amount of water you could have an amazing organic vegetable garden or a small orchard of fruit trees. Yes, the possibilities are amazing.

Going green is easy it is all about the choices we make.
