Low-impact living is about making thoughtful, eco-friendly choices in your home. But being sustainable doesnt have to mean sacrificing style. Thats where Remodelista comes in. In this comprehensive guide, they decode the secrets to creating a home thats good for the planetand totally livable. First, the team invites readers on in-depth tours of the living quarters of a dozen homeowners who have interpreted this ethos in myriad ways: an Australian architects state-of-the-art family home, a rental apartment in Brooklyn outfitted with materials salvaged from the neighborhood, and even a farmhouse in England made of hemp. Then they take us room by room to dissect the most impactful swaps we can make for a healthier home, from a gentler laundry routine courtesy of the Celsious sisters to chef David Taniss low-tech approach to cooking. There are simply DIY projects to encourage you to reuse and repurpose rather than buy new, plus the Vintage 75a roundup of everyday household goods that are easy to find used, and are typically better made and more affordable than their brand-new counterparts. And, of course, theres remodeling advice for all budgets and scopes: whether youre looking to choose healthy paint, swap out your rug, upgrade your windows, or overhaul your whole place. It all adds up to an eco-conscious approach thats about living not only responsibly but also with joy and style.
