Style | home 27 rooftop garden off the grid With a consistent, clean and free stream of energy from the sun, solar panels are a worthwhile option if you want to generate your electricity, reduce your power bill and protect the environment. Commonly installed on roofs, solar panels have many advantages including no nasty emissions or greenhouse gases, no noise pollution and easy maintenance. Consider making the switch for long-term benefits. Small but effective Continue eco-friendly elements throughout your home in any small way you can, including swapping standard light bulbs for led lighting. if you’re building, make sure you plan effective lighting solutions from the beginning. talk to lighting experts who understand lighting system trends and who will ensure you choose quality led products that will emphasise features of your interior, such as timber and fabrics, and reduce glare. if you’re prone to leaving the lights on in the house, opt for motion-sensor lights to reduce wasted energy. natural flooring With all of the foot traffic that takes place in a home, flooring needs to be tough enough to take a good few knocks, spills and dirt, but earth-friendly flooring doesn’t mean bland and boring. There are many durable flooring options, which have both underfoot comfort and style qualities, as well as the ability to beautify your space. think smooth pebble tiles, terrazzo and concrete, linoleum, bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood and glass. clean burning Combine heat and beauty by embracing biofuel fires, an attractive compliment to your indoor or outdoor space. a clean alternative to log and gas fires, a biofuel fire doesn’t produce smoke, ash or embers and nor require a flue or chimney. Quality and stylish designs means you can easily match a product to accommodate your lifestyle and living quarters.
