Anyone who has engaged into house renovation will know how headache it is.
After going into phase 2 of my house’s renovation project, there is like thousand and one things to take care of…
I’m now a part time interior designer ( self acclaim… ahem! 🙂 )
Trying to hunt for all the eco friendly ideas, to see if I could incorporate it into my house.
I remember there’s something like a Green Building Exhibit done by BCA launched not too long ago… And that’s what I need, Green Green Home! hahaha…
Ok lah, I’m not that bad in Green stuff. Here’s some stuffs that I’m doing…
Plants!
Plants provide oxygen. It helps clean the air because of photosynthesis. It has also been proven that they have calming effects on people…
Window Film!
To reduce heat penetration, lower room temperature and cut down on my air-conditioning bills… Yeah!
So… What else huh? Anything to contribute?
Use cork flooring, low VOC paints and varnishes (non-toxic), wall covering made of recycle paper, sanitary fittings with PUB’s water efficiency labelling scheme, fluorescent lamps with energy saving ballast and energy efficient appliances…
er…there is another way in lieu of window film.. use a window glass that can reduce heat transmission..well comes with a higher price of course and not sure your house can change window glass 🙂
im going to design my own rm too

Hi Dasmond,
It’s me, Gin. It’s been quite a while I’ve not been into your blog. Me too, also busy with reno but it ROOMS renovation. My sis is getting married soon and both of them will be temporarily staying with us till they got their future home in 5 yrs later. Currently, we’re busy not only with work but in rooms reno too (very hectic). Believe me! Shifting out and throwing off things from your room is not an easy task to do. Furthermore, my sis is busy looking for good contractor to do some reno to our rooms. Sigh…
Just hope that everything goes well for all of us!
Cheers,
Gin
