In our mission to contribute to a sustainable society, Yally is committed to making homes ready for the future. We strive to make our buildings 40% more energy efficient. How? By implementing better insulation and optimized heating techniques. But how can you as an individual also contribute to a sustainable interior? Here are some practical tips:
Choose natural materials
When furnishing your home, think of materials such as wood, bamboo, cork and stone. These are renewable and have a much lower carbon footprint than synthetic alternatives.
Upcycling and reuse Why not look for second-hand furniture or vintage pieces? By giving existing items a new life, you reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
Energy-efficient lighting
Choose LED bulbs. They last longer and use less energy than traditional light bulbs. A small step with a big impact!
Local production
Support local shops when buying furniture. This not only reduces transport distances, but also supports our own economy.
Minimalism
Less is more! Go for a minimalist interior with only the essential items. This reduces the use of materials and creates a calm atmosphere in the house.
Green plants
Add plants to your interior (and your terrace!). They purify the air, bring a bit of nature inside and give your home a fresh look.
Sustainable fabrics
When choosing curtains, cushions and upholstery, go for organic cotton or linen. Avoid synthetic fabrics that are harmful to the environment.
Let's strive together for a green(er) home and a more sustainable future!
