Eco-friendly homes ideas are now all the rage. Homeowners are seeing green as they attempt to cut down on waste and energy costs. Eco-friendly kitchen trends are taking off as the kitchen is often times the heart of the home and a culprit for producing a lot of waste.
Eco-friendly home ideas such as greening up your kitchen go hand in hand with eco-friendly finance trends. By increasing the efficiency of a home up to 50% you make yourself eligible for a $2000 tax credit. Manufactured homes that reach the 30% mark are eligible for a $1000 credit.
There are many ways to go green with your kitchen as popular eco-friendly kitchen trends include using real wood cabinets made from natural materials such as wheat board or straw board, using no VOC paints, using natural flooring and countertops, and of course buying energy efficient appliances and lighting. Energy efficient windows are also highly utilized in the eco-friendly world. Look up any list of eco-friendly home ideas or eco-friendly finance trends and having energy efficient windows will be at or near the top of the list.
Studies have shown that not only do eco-friendly home ideas increase savings and limit waste, but they also can greatly improve your health. For instance, cabinets made with particle board or plywood are made with harsh chemicals that give off gases that can irritate conditions such as asthma and allergies. So if you're thinking of remodeling or buying be on the lookout for eco-friendly homes.
