With the help of modern technology and innovative design, constructing a sustainable bathroom that features environmentally friendly products has never been easier. Our goal is to provide you with 4 simple methods for creating an eco-friendly, sustainable bathroom design or transforming an existing bathroom space. 

 

Let’s explore some creative and decorative ways to transform your bathroom into an eco-friendly green space.

Eco-Friendly Bathtub and Shower

 

It is important to make sure your cleanliness and relaxation don’t waste too much water. But this doesn't mean you have to give up taking a bath or shower. Using an eco-friendly bathtub or shower will help you be more sustainable.

 You can buy a bathtub or shower made from recycled or sustainable materials. Some brands make stylish bathroom fixtures that are sustainable such as shower bases, bathtubs and sinks. 

If your shower or tap is pumping out between 2-8 gallons of water per minute, this is a huge waste. If you want to make your shower environmentally friendly, you can add a low-flow shower head fixture or add an environmentally friendly shower. These fixtures use high pressure to deliver less water with more efficiency along with a quality showering experience. You will still receive a good amount of water pressure and more than enough water to effectively wash off the body wash or soap from your body and the shampoo from your hair.

 

Motion Sensor Faucets

 

On an everyday basis, a lot of water is used and can get wasted at our sinks for dishwashing or cleansing our hands or with grooming activities such as face washing and brushing our teeth.

Utilising innovative technology like touchless tapware can help reduce water consumption by up to 60% while optimising usage for everyday bathroom and kitchen tasks. Touchless tapware has a motion sensor that will only turn on the water when you hover a hand over the sensor. And once you remove your fingertips or hands from the sensor, the tap will switch off the flow of water. The other benefit of this is that it is more hygienic because you don’t have to touch the tap to turn it on and off. Your interior designer will be able to help you choose the right elements for your sustainable bathroom.

Toilets Using Dual Flush

 

A dual flush is given as a lever on the side or a push button system on top of the tank, which allows the user to choose how much water is needed. Push one button for flushing liquid waste, which uses only comparatively water, and the other one for solid waste, which uses more water.

Eco-Friendly and Natural Lighting

 

Use creative, decorative energy-efficient light fixtures and light bulbs as well as, add natural light where you can create a functional, eco-friendly and unique bathroom design.

 

You can use task lighting to specifically illuminate areas like your mirrors or add an energy-efficient lit LED mirrored cabinet to add a bright light where you need it the most.  In other areas of your bathroom space, add eco-friendly decorative lighting that is designed to highlight specific areas in the room for illumination and aesthetic design.
