Green Showhouse Kitchen
This green showhouse in New York is a beautiful example of just how well designed green homes can be. The kitchen is a particularly good example of green products used to their full advantage. Enjoy these aesthetically and environmentally pleasing images and try to incorporate some of these ideas into your own home!
The natural bamboo floors have been stained a darker color to resemble a more traditional wood look. Fast-growing, renewable bamboo is an excellent choice wherever you would like to see hardwood in the home.
The woven shades made of natural grasses filter light and stop the hot daytime sun from warming up the room. Ceramic tile in the main work area of the kitchen floorspace is slow to heat and slow to cool.
The appliances are both energy efficient and well designed. Made by Bosch, the manufacturing process also aims to reduce energy and waste.
Natural quartz has an extremely low rate of toxic emissions compared to other countertop options. The countertops also have natural anti-microbial properties that reduce the growth of mold and bacteria.
This gorgeous kitchen is a shining example of green design at its best.
