3. EMBRACING SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Selecting sustainable materials like bamboo and
reclaimed wood for cabinets and countertops is crucial
when planning your kitchen renovation. Opt for natural,
sustainable materials like cork or FSC-certified hardwood
flooring to decrease environmental impact and instil a
classic look in your kitchen.

4. INVESTING IN ENERGY-EFFICIENT
APPLIANCES
Choosing energy-efficient appliances is essential for
creating a sustainable kitchen. Look out for the Energy
Saving Trust Recommended logo when purchasing new
appliances. Selecting an induction hob and a well-
insulated oven can significantly reduce energy
consumption.

5. MAXIMISING NATURAL LIGHT
Maximising natural light in your kitchen reduces the need
for artificial lighting. Installing floor-to-ceiling windows or
skylights allows more sunlight to enter the room while
delivering an uplift in ambience. When artificial lighting is
necessary, choose LED bulbs, which use up to 80% less
energy.

6. WATER-SAVING SOLUTIONS
Incorporating water-saving solutions like low-flow taps
and eco-friendly dishwashers with water-efficient cycle
settings can significantly impact your home’s overall water
consumption. Opting for an eco-friendly dishwasher with
a water-efficient cycle setting can save water and energy.

7. WASTE REDUCTION TECHNIQUES
A sustainable kitchen should focus on waste reduction.
Integrating a recycling system and installing a composting
unit encourages responsible waste disposal and turns
food scraps into valuable fertiliser for your garden.
