3 Ways to Make Your Home More Sustainable in 2024

Sustainability is a buzzword these days. At its most simple, it means conserving natural resources. While there are many ways to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle, we’ve picked out three simple tips that can help you make an impact immediately. At the Blind Butler, your local window treatment store near Vacaville, CA, we can help you make sustainable choices that lower your environmental footprint and keep more cash in your pocket. Here are some of our top suggestions.

Installing Smart technology, including motorized window treatments, can also reduce energy consumption because your devices can work together to conserve energy. For instance, your smart thermostat can close your window treatments if the house reaches a specific temperature, cooling the house without triggering your air-conditioning.

Sustainability also means choosing to use renewable resources instead of non-renewable ones. As you buy new things for your home, choose fabrics and textiles that are recycled and sustainable. Wool, mohair, cotton, linen, bamboo, and grasses are all sustainable choices that can look beautiful in your home. Also, purchasing high-quality products that will last a long time is far more sustainable than buying a lower-quality version of the same thing that you’ll have to replace in 6 months or a year.

• Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are hand-woven from various bamboo, grasses, and other woods. They invite nature into your home with sophisticated textures and elegance.
• Cellular Shades help conserve energy, and they’re available in dozens of colors and fabrics, including some recycled options.
• Designer Solar Shades work like sunglasses for your home. They come in 50 colors and fabrics, including some made from marine-recovered plastic. They give plastic new life and make your window treatments sustainable and waterproof.

To practice more sustainability outdoors, try growing a mini garden, even if it’s just herbs for seasoning your food.
