Since last year, there has been a stronger push towards sustainability in designing our living spaces. Dubbed as eco-chic, it’s a home aesthetic that looks high-end (and maybe is actually high-end), that puts environmental conservation as priority.
Many homeowners make use of their hard-earned money to create refined and tasteful spaces. As the years make us feel the impacts of pollution and overconsumption, more and more people are making a conscious effort to care for our planet. Eco-chic design blends the desire to have a stylish and attractive home and the need to be environmentally friendly.
Designing sustainable living spaces is less wasteful than purchasing fast furniture, for example, that dominates the market these days. When you pay a lot to furnish your home, you would want to make the most out of it. Align with suppliers who share your ethos.
Exteriors: Elevated and Eco-conscious
Besides corporate efforts in environmental conservation, Boysen also develops and manufactures eco-friendly paint products that help create elegant, even luxurious, spaces.
Recent trends see designers utilize the natural environment more when it comes to creating gorgeous exteriors. It’s not merely making space for a garden but designing around natural features of the environment. Choosing ethical materials also moves your homes one step further to more sustainability, all without having to sacrifice a stunning style of architecture.
Paint colors are also chosen based on which is more sustainable. Recently, the desire to have chic and stylish homes has made people go for white exteriors. Though, white paint colors are also selected because of the way it reflects heat, and makes homes feel less hot, reducing the power consumption when air-conditioning spaces. Boysen Cool Shades takes it a step further with infrared-reflecting pigments meant to further minimize heat build-up. By making these choices, you don’t sacrifice a beautiful finish by going green (or going white in this case).
Another innovative solution for the environment is Boysen KNOxOUT. It’s an air-cleaning paint with CristalACTiV photocatalytic technology that breaks down noxious pollutants. Light hues give an extra boost to the efficacy of the paint. Its recommended primer is Boysen EcoPrimer that’s formulated to have a low amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Especially if you live in urbanized areas, you’re actively making the air cleaner when you use this innovative product.
Luxurious Finishes for Your Home
Now enter a living space that dazzles with gold. For indoor spaces, many use jewel and metal-toned decorative finishes to bring about an opulent ambiance. For your interior walls, apply Boysen DECORe Perlescente. The magnificent textures of this product can instantly enhance a room.
It is also environmentally friendly since the decorative finishes of this Boysen specialty product use natural oxides to recreate these metallic textures. While these effects only replicate gilded designs, it doesn’t feel any less artificial. It is a paint finish that you can also prime with Boysen EcoPrimer, adding an even more eco-friendly quality to your personal space and the environment. Glamorous interiors need not be harmful to nature, so turn to products that are genuinely sustainable.
Look Expensive, But Live Sustainably
Furnish your home with furniture responsive to the needs of our environment. Furniture designers have become ever more conscious of the environmental impact of their creations. These are increasingly engineered to last longer and not degrade quickly. Making sure that these don’t get thrown into a landfill after just a couple of years is a huge contribution to sustainability efforts.
Biodegradable materials have also become an element in furniture design, upcycling waste products, transforming what would have been trash into a treasured piece in your home.
