Creating an eco-friendly home and its interior decoration involves more than just the use of various sustainable materials; it is essential to adopt an environmentally conscious lifestyle. Often, we do not give much thought to our consumption of electricity and water. Frequently, we use more electricity and water than necessary. Additionally, our focus in home decoration tends to prioritize only the items and spaces that are immediately visible.

Various types of colors used in home decoration are currently available in the market. Some of these colors are offered in powder form, requiring the addition of water for application. Such colors can help reduce the internal temperature of a home by approximately 2 to 4 degrees Celsius. This reduction often diminishes the necessity for fans or air conditioning systems within the house. Additionally, the odor of these water-based paints is generally mild and does not persist for long, thereby contributing to a decrease in air pollution levels.

Window Films for Glass: Windows in a home allow natural light to enter, but they also permit warm air to infiltrate. By applying solar control film (heat-resistant film) to the glass, it helps maintain a lower indoor temperature and reduces the intensity of sunlight. Consequently, there is less reliance on fans and air conditioning systems. This also leads to savings on electricity bills, and the film installed on the glass provides a cooling effect for the eyes.

Fly ash bricks are produced from a mixture of fine sand, fly ash, and lime. A notable characteristic of these bricks is that they do not utilize soil, which helps in conserving agricultural land and soil resources. Additionally, since these bricks do not require firing, they contribute to the reduction of air pollution. The uniform size of the bricks also ensures that the plaster applied after construction is consistent and does not necessitate a thick layer. This results in significant savings in both material costs and overall expenses.

Various types of energy-saving lamps are currently available in the market. Among these, the use of LED, CFL bulbs, or low-wattage tube lights can contribute to electricity conservation. The durability of such products makes them a practical choice as well.
