Going Organic In A Luxury Home Design
What Are the Best Natural Materials to Use In a Luxury Home Design?
Today’s luxury homes boast natural, organic, and recycled materials instead of commercially designed, cookie-cutter features. Here are some of the best natural materials to use in a luxury home design and how you can get help buying or selling a luxury home in South Florida.
Bamboo
Bamboo is known as the fastest growing plant in the world and is an environmentally friendly, long-lasting material choice for luxury home designs. Bamboo can be used for everything from roofing and fences to floors and carpets. The material is about as hard as oak and is equivalent to hardwood in terms of durability and stability. It’s incredibly lightweight and extremely resistant to the weather when properly cared for.
Stone
Stone is a long-lasting material that suits a variety of home uses, including kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring since it can withstand heavy traffic, spills, pets, and regular cleaning. Unlike bamboo or wood, stone is inherently stain and moisture resistant.
While stone is sometimes more expensive than other materials, it often wins out with its superior longevity. Arguably, the most popular stone type is granite since it can be used on multiple surfaces like countertops or floors. It occurs in a number of natural hues, with black, reddish-brown, white, and cream or beige being the most popular.
Recycled Glass
Glass may be recycled indefinitely without compromising its quality or purity. During the recycling process, glass is inspected to eliminate impurities such as metal lids or wine corks. The glass is then crushed and transferred to a production facility to be made into other products.
Recycled glass countertops can be a more cost-effective, longer-lasting, and ecologically friendly alternative to granite or marble counters. Recycled glass is an excellent option for interior design; even though it’s affordable and environmentally sound, it doesn’t detract from a home’s visual appeal.
Native Metals
Native metals such as copper, iron, and tin are also an excellent building and decor material for luxury homes. Tin wainscoting can add a stylish, functional touch to wash rooms and utility areas, while copper fixtures in the kitchen are both attractive and durable.
