The design of a modern apartment or house is not only stylish furniture or maximum free space. Designers are increasingly paying attention to the environmental side of the issue, as well as increasing the comfort of living through technological progress. What innovations in the design and renovation of apartments can you use today?
Eco-friendly materials
The finishing materials market offers an incredible number of options for every taste and budget, but when choosing materials for finishing, try to think not only about the cost of repairing an apartment, but also about their own health, which can only be provided by environmentally friendly finishing materials.
Check out the list of materials that will never be included in finishing for luxury repairs. An eco-friendly interior can be created using parquet or parquet boards, ceramic tiles (applied not with glue, but with a building mixture of natural ingredients), paper wallpaper, natural-based decorative plasters, thermal wood, etc.
The most important difference between new generation finishing materials is their significant service life. They are much more resistant to environmental influences, do not lose their external qualities and useful properties for a long time. An eco-friendly interior created with their use will serve you for several decades.
Smart Home
Modern “smart home” is a complex of systems, automated and integrated with each other. This complex ensures the consistency of the work of equipment in the house and engineering systems (lighting, heating, air conditioning, water supply, gas). Managing the operation of a smart home is no more difficult than turning on the light in a room. The system is equipped with a single remote control (a mini-tablet with a clear interface) and can be controlled remotely (for example, from a laptop or smartphone).
“Smart Home” allows you to:
- easy to control the light by setting scenarios for groups of lamps or each one individually;
- automate the opening of curtains and blinds at a given time;
- create and maintain a comfortable microclimate for you – temperature and humidity throughout the house or in each room separately;
- to ensure safety in your absence, etc.
“Smart Home” will allow you to always be aware of the operation of life support systems, even when you are away from home, to receive information about the presence of strangers in the house or a forgotten open window. And the careful use of energy resources (gas, water and electricity) will reduce their consumption by at least 20%.
