More expansive windows or skylights to attain increased penetration of daylight.

There's something aesthetically pleasing but a savvy consumer has much more in mind-including accountability. That's why design has gotten innovative with sustainable materiality that holds green responsibility without letting fun lose its grip.

Trending Materials:

Recycled and Upcycled: everything - from furniture to textiles, everything has a life cycle, repurposing materials

Low VOC paints: Low chemical paints enhance indoor air quality by pushing out the chemicals

Bamboo and cork: Fast renewable for flooring, cabinetry, etc.,,

Bathroom spa-inspired smart showering devices

While smart home technology in the future is not only on the increase in the convenience factor but will also be sustainable, the good news for its designers, 2024, will see them come to the table with tech that allows for energy-efficient and wellness-oriented spaces.

New Solutions:

How smart thermostat optimization uses occupancy-based energy optimization

Using air purifiers with smart sensors so that indoor air is always at its best.

Using circadian lighting systems, which are programmed to repeat natural human patterns indoors

What to Look For:

Modular furniture for all types of space uses.

Durable materials that degrade over time, rather than shrinking space

Collaboration with a single creator working based on a circular economy

6. Colour Psychology and Sustainable Colour Palettes
