One of the top trends happening in kitchen remodeling in Tampa Fl is including sustainable designs, materials, and appliances, in your updates. More awareness about environmentalism has happened in recent years and homeowners are caring more than ever about their own personal impact on Florida ecosystems. Contractors are constantly looking for new options for eco-friendly designs, and trends are always changing, but these top sustainable options are go-tos for many people. 

Environmentally Friendly Kitchen Design

  • Ecofriendly Materials- One of the easiest ways to incorporate sustainability into your kitchen remodeling in Tampa Fl is to use eco-friendly materials. Contractors have a large variety of materials available to them that are non-toxic, ethically produced, and environmentally friendly from paint to countertops, flooring to cabinetry, and appliances. 
  • Recycled and Reclaimed- When you’re going for a rustic or coastal aesthetic in your kitchen, using recycled or reclaimed materials, such as salvaged barn wood, is a great way to decrease the environmental impact of your remodeling project. 
  • Energy-Efficient Appliances- Replacing the appliances during your kitchen remodeling in Tampa Fl is a great step to reducing your consumption and living an environmentally friendly lifestyle. More and more homeowners are replacing their traditional stoves with an induction cooktop. These types of cooktops reduce the amount of time it takes to cook and also use less heat which keeps your kitchen cooler, especially during warm months when you might usually avoid cooking indoors. Convection ovens work in a similar way, and energy star-rated appliances are other great options. 
  • Built-in Recycling- One of our favorite designs for eco-friendly kitchens are kitchen islands that include built-in recycling separators. Different bins can be installed for paper, plastic, glass, and even composting! Discreetly tucked away in the kitchen island where they are out of sight, but easy to access. 
  • Motion Sensor Faucets- You’ve seen motion sensor faucets in businesses because they help tremendously with reducing water waste. Leaving the water running unnecessarily wastes gallons of water every week which is wasteful and costly for your utility bill. Motion-activated faucets conserve water and also reduce the transference of germs!
